The dance of the Buenos Hombres
club at the Turner hall last night had
scarcely begun when this remark was
commonly Ii aard among those in at
tendance ~ "I hope the Young gentle
men will give these select affairs at
regular intervals. Club dances of
this sort are treat" Comments
Ii he this coming so early in the even
ing are the'g best of evidence of the
great pleasure which the guests of the
Buenos Hombers were afforded. So
pretty a gathering of handsome young
people has not been seen in this city
in long time. -n The ladies were
gowned beautifully many of them in
the approved evening style. Some of
the men wore full dress while others
wore neat. dark sack suits made
dressy by white vests. The picture
presented when all these gay dancers
were ON the fine floor of the Turner
hall. CLASSY in it's smoothness. was
typical of youth and happiness.
Punch That word was whispered
when the guests first entered When
they removed their wraps. it was
made into a phrase. Champagne

''Scandalous - One of the attentive
floor committee would step up and
point to an immense bowl ON linen
covered table at the rear of the room
would exclaim proudly. Punch -
The girl would drop her eyes. Her
escort would look at her pleadingly
and say. ''Punchl'' At which the
girl would look up and say. "Well.

not be accommodated at the first ta-

wait enjoyed themselves by singing
and dancing to music which several of
the talented young ladies present gra-
ciously furnished them. In due time
all had been fed. The refreshments
served were in the nature of sand

the guests exceedingly. Then of

room without suffering agOnies which can
not describe. My head ached so that At fair
ly thumped and at times it seemed that
would go crazy. My stomach became SO
weak that it would retain only the lightest
food. Week after week took the doctors
medicine, but l continued to feel worse and
worse. On several occasions was confn-

Calls for Enforcement.

The September term of the Supreme
Judicial Court for York county con
vened at Alfred, September 18th, Judge
Henry G. Peabody presiding.
Judge Peabody's charge to the grand
jury was particularly pointed and was
the cause of something of furry in
liquor circles. He said all laws should
be enforced with certainty and regu-
larity. He then referred to the illegal
traffic in liquor and called attention to
the general demand for the strict en-
forcement of the prohibitory law.
He also said that the State has been
shocked to its very center with homi,
cides and brutal assaults and pointed
to the necessity of prosecuting that
class of criminals.
