A BRILLIANT EASTER DANCE
A Fashionable After Lenten Gathering Par
ticipated in by Representatives from all
parts of the State.

and con by the young men OF the town
as the marked social event of the after
Lenten season and it fully proved to
be brilliant success in every way
The Opera House was transformed in
to a bewitching ball room. There
were no elaborate decorations to
boast off nor did the committee make
anv preparation in this respect A
good waxed floor was prepared and the
mOnotony somewhat broken by |
festoOning our national cOlOrs around
the balcony and walls of the room.
Oglesby's orchestra of six pieces fur
nished the music and about 8 o'clock
the dance started with an array Of
brilliant costumes rarely witnessed in
Smyrna. 1t would be hard to pick out
the belle of the ball in such Il gather
ing of youth and beauty. The cos
tunes were rich in elegance and
viewed from the balcony it presented
fairy like dream in a moving mass OF
cOlOrs.
At the close of the first half an inter
mission was given and the guests in
vited to the Masonic banquet room
where Caterer Geo. A. Dick had set
dainty repast. The banquet room was
a dream as arranged by Caterer Dick.
Bunting of national cOlOrs were strung
and festoOned from chandelier to cell
ing, from every corner of the room.
The tables were beautifully set and
wreathes of smilaX were twined and
intertwined about the dishes. There
was no confusion in serving and Caterer
Dick with walters attended to the
wants of all in most becoming man
ner. The following menu was ex-
cellently prepared:
Chicken Salad
Cold Ham Cold Tongue
Maryland biscuits
pickles olives
coffee
There were twenty-five dances, all OF
which were enjoyed heartily by the
lovers of terpsichorean art and for
those who did not indulge I'M it, twas a
pleasant social pastime. The balcony
was thrown open to the public who
were admitted by tickets given by
members of the committee. 1t is need
less to say that it was well crowded
long before the dancing began.
1t was day break by the time 'HOme
Sweet Home" was struck up by tn,
orchestra and all left the ball room
with highest praise and commentator
for the beautiful dance given by tn
young men of Smyrna.
