social diversion the farmers dance given by
the guests and cottagers at Fort Griswold last
Saturday night The affair made an instantaneous
hit. The young people rigged themselves as gro
tesQue farmers and held dance in the hotel ball
room. The party made up at some OF the cottages
and came TO the hotel in a body, where they reg
istered as coming from Poquonoc. nearby rural
suburb. Some of the costumes were ludicrous In
the extreme, and furnished no end of amusement
and the names inscribed on the register would
make a horse laugh. In the ballroom Money Musk
and the Virginia Reel the favorite dances.
The affair provoked much fun that another
dance of the same kind will be held in the near
future.
Moonlight beach and bathing parties were all the
go last week at both the Fort Griswold and the
Pequot colonies. Several large parties were held
by the cottagers and guests OF the Fort Griswold
House at Eastern Point.
Progressive euchre is finding much favor at the
Fort Griswold House. and at recent party Twelve
