The |. 0. +. Ball.

Everyone in attendance at the third
annual ball under the auspices of the
local court of foresters pronounces it
the most pleasing affair of its kind ever
given in Island Pond. The weather
was cool enough as to render dancing
comfortable, the music by Glendale Or
chestra of kind to make one lose him
self in the pleasure of the moment,
good floor, jolly crowd, and an excel
lent supper, all combined to verify the
predictions of the committee in charge
that this was to be the chest ever" as
indeed it proved to be.
The concert was a rare musical treat,
and the seats in the gallery were well
occupied with those who went mainly
for this part of the evenings programme
while all through the concert new ar
rivals down stairs on the dancing floor
served to impress one with the idea
that after the Lenten season they were
there for good time, and they had it
Shortly after nine o'clock the grand
march was formed, led by G. & Smith,
the floor manager, and Miss Pearl Davis
with nearly sixty couples in line. A
new feature of the march this year was
n ,ph i0ht la
cross stretching nearly from end to end
aud side to side of the hall, and it takes
very little Imagination to picture the
animation of the scene with the bright
colors OF the dresses and happy faces Of
the participants. Dances in various
forms followed until close to midnight,
when the lights were turned off and by
the light of big moon in one corner of
the hall the last waltz before supper
took place.
After satisfying the needs of the
inner man, (and woman), the dancers
returned to the hall aud dancing was re-
sumed until the full order was carried
out most of the couples staying until
the last dance. Mr.. Smith made very
efficient floor manager and his efforts to
see that all in attendance enjoyed them
selves to the utmost were ably seconded
by other members of the order who
served as aids
There were but few in attendance
from out Of town and these few are as
we'll known here almost as our own boys
and girls, they being in fact, former
residents.
Much credit is due to the members Of
the committee for the efforts they put
forth to make this ball the social sue
cess it was and they are certainly to bt
congratulated on the result.
