local members that would promote the
comfort and pleasure of the visitors.
A. j Blackmer, j. f. Bultolph and
Clarence Wells, the decorators at the
town hall where the dance was held,
should feel repaid for their work by the
universal praise given their efforts. The
ilrst thing to attract attention when
nearing the hall was the letter Sc in a
blaze of light over the entrance. Pass.
ing in scene of almost Oriental splen-
dor was presented. The windows were
covered with United States flags which
showed through evergreens. The walls
had the numerous banners and shields
bearing the emblems of the different
Masonic bodies, while festoons of green
and gold depended from the arc lamp
in the centre to the corners. The stage,
which was occupied by the orches ira,
had bank of evergreens at the back
with large square and compass, the
sign &C. shining out of it in incandes-
cent lamps. Above the curtain was
done in white dotted with sprays of
green, while the sides were in white
and gold with puff effect. A large
medallion bearing the cross and
crown shining out in colored lights
threw soft radiance across the hall
from over the stage at the front. The
base OF the stage was hi iden by a large
American flag tastefuly drapPd. The
globe surmounted pillars from the lodge
guarded the musicians. The front of
the gallery was bright with its trimming
of white and gold, bearing across its full
length the motto western Vermont
Masonic Union in large letters of green
and gold. Relies Orchestra from Rut-
land furnished the music.
The banquet at the Addison was char
actistic of mine host Higgins. Through

going to be done. The teachers and
patrons of the school had arranged to
| give the school children a grand din

part of the program. A very long

was spread with feast of so many
good and rich and sweet things that
| only the people of the city of Marvin
with the help of of their good neigh

prepare, and the school children, par

grand style. After dinner had been
Served to all present, the triangle was

had been in competent hands during
the school term, and that the good
work of Prof. Fallon and his assistant,
Miss Baum, which they had given to
their pupils was amply showing in

made in all their studies and along all
lines. After the program had been
rendered the schools were finally de-
clared closed for the term and all re-
tired to their respective homes well
pleased with the exercises and with

arrangements had been carried out.
