season the past week has witnessed the |
greatest dearth of social activity. To |
be sure there We're many strangers in |
town on pleasure bent, but they came |
for the Kirmess, and that attraction |
succeeded in absorbing the attention of |
everybody. There was here and there |
tea or luncheon, where a few met |
quite informally, but that was all which |
transpired aside from the Kirmess. !
Speaking of the Kirmess-it was grand, |
pretty and almost anything pleasing
which one might choose to apply to it.
1t merited attention not only because
local dancers participated, but because
the carnival was entertaining and from
a purely entertainment standpoint was
well worth the price Of admission.

The truth of the opinion that no
nationality knows better than the Ger
mans how to enjoy themselves, will be
demonstrated Monday night at the
rooms of the Scranton Liederkranz, in
Music Hall. The society will then give
it's annual Vierte Jaehrliche Karnevals-
Sitzung-or, in plain English, a fancy
dress carnival and right royal good
time. The LiederkranZ membership is
composed of Scrantons best-known
German residents. who, on the present
occasion, will have, as their guests,
delegations from New York, Wilkes
Barre, Pittston, Carbondale and Homes
dale. Dancing and a sumptuous BAN
quet will conclude an evening unique to
an American, but eagerly anticipated
and highly enjoyed by the Liederkranz.
