At the head of the staircase was a mirror into which wa skilfully reflected a large thistle starred with electric lights, and hung with flags. while the mirror itself had a hand- rampant, canopy of the lion soino from which was suspended two large blue and white flags. All the walls were hidden with artistically-arranged flage and foliage, from which myriads of skilfully hidden electric lights sent forth a warm amber glow. The two ball-rooms and the retiring rooms were also one maze of colour--the cool blue and white of St. Andrew being naturally predominant- Huge and were generously illuminated.
flags and garlands of evergreens, along with shields, and the silvered armour and war-weapons of Knights of Old formed striking mural adornments. The shields in St. Andrew's room bore the names of clans who were actually repre- sented at the ball, including MacGregor, Sinclair, Campbell of Argyle, and Forbes. In St. George's room a decorative dais was erected under a canopy of flags and shields, and it was to this dais that His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government was led by the pipers upou his arrival. The retiring room was also artistically treated in blue and white; indeed, so generously had the whole building been treated with St. Andrew flags that several strange pennants had to be intredaced in a least noticeable posi- tion:
