| St. Patrick's day in Kenosha will be
one long to be remembered among the
lovers of dancing. While no bands of
music and crowd of marching men
paraded the streets of Kenosha, the
patron Saint of the Emerald Isle was
cer tain1y f1onored in Kenosha on Sat
urday evening. In all parts of the
city the rules of the Lenten season
/ were broken, and from early in the
evening until the morning sun kissed
the eastern horizon the merry strains
of the violin and piano could be heard,
while futtering hearts kept time with
dancing feet. The merriment was
general and nearly every hall in the
city had it's full quota of merry dancers.
St. Patrick's night in Kenosha has al
ways been a season of reve1ry, and
Saturday evening was certainly no ex-
ception to the rule.
/ The most elaborate part of the even
ing was the dance given by the jolly
crowd of ''Shiners' at Columbia Hall.
The annual dance of the SINNERS is
always the event of the Lenten season.
''He couldn't stay away" and ellis
best girl always goes, that's the way
the boys put it on the bi11s-and that
seemed to be the facts in the case.
No such crowd ever gathered at the
hall before. Fully seven hundred peo-
pie were packed into the hall, and more
would have been present if there had
been a place to store them. Many
guests were present from other cities,
and the Po1ishers certainly proved to
all that they were on the top notch
when it came to entertaining.
Dancing was the feature of the even
ing, music being furnished by Stemm
Brothers orchestra. Dancing con-
tinued until four O'Clock in the morn
ing, and even then the strains of
'Home Sweet Home" came as an un-
welcome reminder that the pleasant
evening had come to an end.
The Po1ishers are to be congratu-
lated on the success of their dance, for
it was certainly one of the most enjoy
able events even given in the city.
i At Central Music Hall.
T Another one of the fixtures Of the
day sacred to the memory of ST. Pat
rick is the annual social given by the
Ladies Auxiliary of the A O. H., at
Central Music Hall. This also attract
ed the attention of jolly crowd of
people. The hall had been deliberately
decorated for theevent and everything
went ''merrY as marriage be11''. In
the early part of the evening supper
was served and the dining room was
crowded from 5 to 8 O'Clock. Follow
ing the supper a splendid progam was
rendered in the hall, after which the
chairs gave way to the little table and
cards were the ruling amusement for
the remainder of'the evening.
At Simmons Hall

at Simmons Hall, where they gave
their annual dancing party, which was
one of the most en- ioyab1e events of the
evening. A large crowd, which tested
the capacity of the hail, was in attend
ance and all enjoyed pleasant time.
The hall was pretti1y decorated for the
occasion. Dancing was the feature of
the evening, music being furnished by
the Jacoby & Compton orchestra. At
midnight refreshments were served in
the balcony. The party was made more
pleasant by the presence of a large
crowd of young people from Racine.
Trades and Labor Council.
The third of the series of cinch par
ties by the Trades and Labor Council
during Lent, was held at their hall
on Saturday evening, aud, notwith-
standing the numerous counter at
fractions, was very largely attended.
The ladies' first prize was awarded to
Mrs. Chas. Clark, and gents first
prize was won by Ed. Kraemer. The
consolation prizes were taken by Mrs.
John Rock and John Kraemer.
Everybody present had good time.
These parties deserve to be well pat
ronized by ali friends of labor and
their friends.
