AMITY CLUB BALL
Hundreds OF People Attend Goth
Annual Dance In Armory.


The Amity Social Club of Homes
their friends at their twentieth an
nual ball in the new State Armory,
Thanksgiving eve, November 80.
Everybody and his best girl was
there, of course. Some idea of the
youthfulness of the crowd can be
gained from the fact noted by an in
terested observer that there was
only one man at the affair who wore
a moustache. Yes, the bride and
groom were there. The bride dane
ed, but the groom didn't. They left
at 1858 p. m.
The dance programs were both
headed engagements certainly
a most appropriate title. 1t is more
than likely the County Seat clergy
will hear of some of the after ef-
fects of the ball much to their fl
nancial delight
Freeman did the music, and that
is a sufficient guarantee that it was
we'll done. The Club looked after
the decorations and the way they
spread themselves would have done
honor to Princeton herself, whose
colors are the same as the Amity's.
Mrs. Brown attended to the refresh
ments, and they were all that could
be desired.
Thanksgiving Eve was the first
time in six years that the Amity
Club held a ball. 1t certainly was a
great social success. Between
twenty-five and thirty people from
Carbondale, Scranton, Jermyn, ETC.,
were in attendance.
The committee in charge of the
ball consisted of Joseph A. Bodie,
Jr., George Burkett, Frank H
Schuerholz and Ed. Mathey.
