The banquet and social given by the
young ladies of st. AIMS parish on Mon
day evening attracted hundreds of people
to the opera building, and a crowded
house was the result. The ladies had
made preparations on large scale, but
the attendance surpassed their hopes.
The dancing floor was filled from early
in the evening until a. M, and the
dancers enjoyed themselves unstintedly
with the music of DePierro's orchestra
and st. Patrick's band.
In the banquet room over $50 meals
were served, and the half-hundred wait
resses were kept busy from 10 to
o'clock.
The ladies have many reasons to feel
proud of their success. They spared
neither time nor labor for three weeks
before, and the results prove that their
efforts were well directed, as neat sum
has been realized for the opera house
building fund.
