The Easter Hon.

The large assemblage of young
people in attendance at the Gem City
Guards Easter hop, at the Ar
mory on Monday evening, will al
ways remember the affair as one of
the most pleasant functions of this
kind ever given in the city, and to
say that it was grand social success
would only be vOicing the unanimous
sentiment of those present.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements clearly demonstrated
that it knew how to cater to the COM
forts of the large gathering of pleas
ure seekers, and the many compli-
ments paid the gentlemen composing
it were flattering indeed.
The decorations of bunting, flags
and evergreens on the walls and
throughout the spacious hall, illumi-
mated by incandescent and gas lights,
We're simply grand. And, the young
ladies attired in pretty evening cos
TUNES, accompanied by attentive and
gallant escorts, made a beflttiDg
finish to the already pretty picture.
The Palatka Citizens Band fur
nished music for the occasion, and
the playing was good.
The dance was opened at 8 O'Clock
by cotillOn march and the long line
Of participants-about 40 couples
executed the different figures to per-
fection. After this the neat and
well arranged souvenir programs
were distributed and soon the regular
order of dances followed in rapid sue
cession until twenty numbers were
completed, the last number being
"Home, Sweet Home"
At l2:l5 the jovial gOod-natured
crowd dispersed, and thus terminated
the Easter hop of the Guards, pro.
nounced pre-eminently the success
of the season.
Among the visitors present We're:
Mrs. Elwood, Misses Elise and Jean
Elwood of DeKalb, Ill; Miss Holi-
day of Atlanta Ga. Messrs. Bailey
and Walter Robbins, Raymond b.
Trueman and Percy Elder of Jack
