UCU b New Year's ball should and only could be put an by #rtl*tn. The whole pageant, In fact, which was begun at twelve b'clock to usher In the New Yt?ur, was a riot of color; a splendid la?glnnlng to put before tbe Incoming year. Hut, one group In particular, was much more entrancing than all the others to Archie. Dt-.sUUttt the beauty, original ity and color of costumes, this group contained a girl named Qaynor. To ulght, nHd makeup and the glamour of the occasion, she wos exr-ep?.ii<nslly lovely. Gftynor had left the dai?'e lloor now to get ready for the pageant. Archie, watching the thrones all about Itim, as they laughed and gayly danced around the luill, happened on u good Idea. Throwing back bis head ho laughed heartily. Then, noticing thut the gaze of the people was on hltn he made his way upstairs. Archie, thoroughly saturated with the atmosphere of enthusiasm pervad ing the evening was now making his erttry Into the third box. He had vis ited the other two, gently suggesting what was In store tor them In the presentation of this special group In which he was Interested. He laid the foundation for their approval, then meved onto the next box. With his pleasing personality gnd charm, he ho* the faculty of making friends veqr easily. "ml* Is a very clever group on now. Nice color, etc, but, I don't know; in looking behind the scenes, I am thinking, tbe fifty-dollar prize wlM be awarded to (he very next group that Is to appear en the stage.'* talking with much authority as an artist, he endeavored to explain the niceties of the forthcoming composi tion. In like mnnner did Archie pre sent bis Ideas to forty or more well <fllhed bo'xes. The pageant- over, the wall of the saxophone again proclaimed dancing In order. Archie, with hawklike Der cepflon, located Gaynor and made his way to her. The crowds were so great in the Immense ballrowin that not one inch of floor space re mained. It could hardly be called dancing, but Ar chie and Gaynwr never noticed a little thing like the crowd. Tkey were reunited again, and of course, had much to talk ubout. "O a y n o r, you simply have no Ide? tke Impression your Sea Group made on till? audience. No other group won the applause you received. I could tell, they were Just carried away with it." In about an hour's tiro? a thump of the drum announced that some one on thw orchestra platform had some* thing to say. "Ladles and gentlemen. The mem bers In the boxes were asked to act as the Judges In awarding the fifty-dollar prize to the best group In the pageant tonight. The vote cast was unanimous for the 'Sea Group.' ** Gaynor clutched Archie's urm rather forcefully. So much so, In fact, that Archlc made haste to remove It. "Isn't that grand, Archie? I really never dreamed of having such a thing happen. To think our Uttl? group of thirty-two could carry off the honors lik? that. That Va the most wonder ful Inspiration and start f*>r the New Year. That Is n real Incentive to w?r)c hard all the year, Isn't It Arehle?" Abe said, squeezing his arm.
