of dancers as ever assembled in Dimond
hall gathered there last evening to take
part in the sixth annual May ball of star
OF Providence Circle No. 35, Co. Il.
The annual festival OF the Companions of
the Forest is always a notable occasion
for the many friends OF forestry in this
part OF the city and the ladies always
realize a rich financial harvest from their
successful efforts TO please their May pa
irons.
One OF the most charming and nuvel
features of last evenings ball was the
dancing of four little misses and four lit
lie masters under the careful and artistic
direction of Miss Mary A. Donovan.
Previous TO the grand march the little
ones moved very gracefully through the
figures of the Saratoga ianeers and their
neatness and attention 10 the music won
for them very enthusiastic applause. The
names OF the little Misses were Alice For
lonnie Nellie johnson, Susie Gordon
and Blanche Tully, and the boys were
frankie Hughes, frankie Wilson, Harry
Rlaney and Earle Meyer.
These little ones led the grand march
and were followed by the officers of the
Circle. The march was a very graceful
one and included among its figures a
circle and the large number OF dancers
made the floor look unusually attractive.
A large number of visitors from courts in
different p rts of the city and state were
iS attendance and over zoo couples danced
to the pleasant music of the Belmonr~
orchestra.
