grand ball, which far eclipsed anything

social wOrl Over POO people dressed
in their best Sunday clothes" congre-
gated at the elegant new hall to add
good cheer and enjoyment to the occa-
sion. The hall was tastefully decorated
and perfect in every respect, as the
Masons had spared no pains or expense
to make everything pleasant. The
Caldwell Orchestra--the best in the
state-led off with one of their finest
marches, which soon changed to
quadrille, and fourteen sets began to
move to the music in perfect unison.
About midnight superb banquet was
ssrved and wisely disposed of, after
which dancing was again resumed.
The old men became young, the young
men became younger and the ladies'
well, they are always young. The
Orchestra discoursed its best music and
the beat of happy feet could have been
heard until nearly morning, TO say
the ball was success would be putting
it mildly--it was magnificent, and shows
social as well as business propositions,
Essene Lodge has reason to be proud
of their new building, their elegant hall,
their banquet room, and their member
