NEW YEAR PARTIES,
The Wellingtons Dance the Old
Year Out at the Armory.
A Large Number of Other Parties Held
BY Social Organizations in Various
City Halls.

The social of the Wellington Rifles at
the state armory, Friday evening, was
a splendid success, and a series will un-
doubtedly follow as the result The
storm, no doubt, interefered somewhat
with the attendance, but in spite of it
nearly 200 dancers attended and danced
from $50 to 1 o'clock. Everything was
delightful from the opening until the
close and the storm without helped to
make dancing inside the big drill shed
more enjoyable The affair was entirely
Informal A few guests were present,
but no effort at display was made.
The Light Infantry orchestra made
its first appearance in dance music, and
decided hit was scored. The orchestra
numbered Is pieces, and the music
which it rendered was full of volume,
good in time and catchy and jolly in Sc
lection. Nearly every round dance was
enthusiastically encored. At internis-
sion Rebboli served refreshing ices.
