great credit upon the lodge which was or
ganized as recently as last winter.

DO BELIEVE,
During the closing dance the members
OF the order made obeisance to the g Most
Excellent High Popakoda " and asserted
their allegiance to him. The exercises
closed III the wee sma' hours,'' and the
smiling faces of the dancers as they wend-
ed their way lomewards attested to their
high appreciation of the affair The toi-
lets of the ladies were in many cases ele-
giant and well worth describing but space
will not permit, A large measure of cred
it is due to the energetic committees who
had the ball in charge, there names have
already been published in the Alert and
judging from last nights standpoint. we
are led to believe that their capacity to
perform their functions was far above
the general average"
