The usual number of lively dancers we're found

time rather than dress at the Everett hops but at
the same time there some elegant toilets dis
played, making one of the most brilliant little
scenes we have had this season.
The novelty of the week occurred at the Ocean

began, one after another the curious white spec
tacles appearing on the scene until quite large

laughed as it suited them best and everyone had a
gay time. After few dances the "unmaskinRr
