Ticnics and other counter attractions militated against the attendance at the fancy dress ball last evening under the auspices of the Great War Veterans' Association.

An elaborate display of heraldic shields emblazoned with the names of the Allied countries ana a weaun oi bunting, flags and pennants transformed the gaunt, bare spaces of the vast arena in the most attractive nf halls. The new hardwood floor was in excellent condition, delighting the merry company of dancers, and Weaver's orchestra played their most seductive dance music.

A miniature palm court in which tables were set about for refreshments gave additional effectiveness to the appearance of the hall, while at the western end a spectators' gallery had been erected. Much ingenuity was noticeable in the costumes, which were of widely differing characterization. There were no entrants, however, for the design best symbolizing peace, nor for the roles of the Allied generals ana aa mirals. Mr. C.
