Strands of southern smilax interwoven in a beautiful manner were brought from the four corners of the dance hall, and in the enter arranged to form a canopy, suspended from which were many pink and white carnations. To the east of the hall and on the platform where the orchestra was stationed behind a bank of palms and ferns, were two pretty arbors made of smilax and carnations. Entrance to the arbors was gained by means of doors made of lattice work and covered with smilax, while here and there a pretty carnation peeped out. On pedestals about the hall were pretty ferns.

Runge's orchestra played the order of dances. Mr. "Duke" Rogers of New York, delighted the guests with his cabaret Binging and vaudeville stunts. The programs, although not so elaborate as last year on account of the affair being a guest night, were quite attractive. They were done in old gold and black, and were in the form of a booklet. On the cover was L. G. C. The first page contained the name of the club, the second anniversary, the date and place of the party. The order of dances followed. Many of tha new steps were danced by the young people. The musicians played some of the well-known song hits, such as "One Wonderful Night," "Chinatown,' "Castle Lame Duck," "Sister Susie's Bewlng Shirts for Soldiers," and a number of others.
