was the occasion Of the regular monthly
bali given 10y the inmates of the institu
ton and n large party of New Cas- tic
people were there at the invitation Of
Dr. Richardson and DR. Black. but none
took part in the exercises Some of the
patients. both men and women, are
graceful dancers, and the manner in
which they glided around the waxed
floor excited the admiration of many of the
lockers on. There are. others how
ever. who do not dance az all, but they
are not too backward to attempt it
nevertheless, and their antics although
harmless are ofttimes amusing
These monthly entertainments are a
source of great enjoyment TO
the patients and they usually look
forward TO them with as much pleasure
as the small boy does TO the coming of
the circus. They are held the year round
but visitors are only admitted on rare
occasions. The music is generally fur
nished by talent from the almshOuse or
hospital and usually consists of violin
or two and sometimes a cornet with,piano
accompaniment.
