Would cease to fret me, dear.
One of the most notable social enter
tainments in a long list of unqualified
successes given under the auspices of
the Knights of ST. George, was the
promenade concert and ball at the Car
roll Club Auditorium last Monday eve
ming. 1t attracted a very large num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen, friends of
the Knights. A row of potted palms
extended across the footlights upon the
stage, and the chandeliers and win
dows were handsomely decorated. The
entertainment opened with very cred
liable production of a short farce en-
titled I've Written to Brown" in
which the participants were John j.
Coniff, J. ]. P. OBrien. j. M. Winger-
ter, Joseph Moore, Misses Gertrude
Riester and Louise Montague. After
this feature, the Opera House orchestra
rendered an overture, while Capt.
George ]. Mathison was getting the
knights into line for one of the most
ocreditable dress drills ever given by a
local military organization. The men
presented very attractive appearance
in their fatigue uniforms, consisting of
caps, blue blouse and duck trousers.
The grand march followed, the officers
of the knights leading. Then came a
dance programme of about twenty
numbers, which prolonged the merri-
ment until about two o'clock next
morning Throughout the evening a
corps of ladies served ices and cake in
the dining room. After eleven o'clock
the Carroll club building was also
placed at the disposal Of the Knights.

NAMED with my father in Nice at the

at the hotel. and as / was watching
her the other day, she noticed my
American flag pin on my dress, and
sent the Duchess of York over for me,
and talked to me for about ten min

lady and was very affable. Later she
sent me beautiful lace handkerchief.
