Youth, beauty, Terpsichore and the chapèrones held sway in Waterman gymnasium Friday night in place of the brawny athletes, the sprinter and the agile performer on the horizontal bar. The latterrespectfully bowed themselyes out and made way for the gay old oddess Terp. Or else they went home, exchanged the decollete' gymnasium garments for a full dress shirt and a epike-tail coat and came back to take their exercises in the mazy waltz or the jerky two-step. The junior party was a most successful social afl'air. At least so every one yoted it wlio was there. Fully 150 couples were present, despite the hard snow storm that raged all night.
