The Elks' auditorium has been decorated be fore, hut It is doubtful if it was fin tnhed as beautifully as It was both Monday and Friday evenings. On Monday a novel and new scheme of the decorating art created a fextoony canopy over the entire dancing floor with the lengthwise center beam of the celling the catching point anii from tho fastenings the garlands wnng in graceful curves, tmrallel, to the wall space and there fastened again equidistant from the floor, large mirrors breaking the line of fasten ing. Supplementary to the main canopy were four minor ones, one la a corner, forming rest nooks and adding to the happy blending of color created by the shades of festoons. The rohtrum wis latticed in with harmonious rotors. Indian robes cov ered all the seats and gave a touch of lor to the entire combination that was pleasing.

A huge, Invit ing home like Chrltmas tree dotted the center of tho dancing floor and from the very tip of the big, profuse ly lighted fir, swung dozens of 'long fir garlands, spreading out in ever widening angles like a May pole at tachment, touching the wall with drooping curves. Wreaths of fir, and sprays of holly decorated every light and each window, with excellent ef fect, and in each corner was a rustic fir canopy effect. At frequent Inter vals about the side and end walls were wreaths of fir and holly. It was very pretty. The large number of guests present are vociferous In their praise of the event.
