party in Library hall which proved TO be
far too small. In fact, Infantry hall
would not have been any too large. had
the young ladies' made an announcement
OF the fact that they were going TO have
"a dance. White all of the patrons of the
company feel as IL they were somewhat
distantly acquainted with the girls they
