THE FLOOR IS FINE"

THE FLOOR IS FINE"
was the unanim Gus expression of
those who participated in the op-
ening dance on Tuesday night
on the second floor of the new
opera house building. This
expression was intensified by
the way in which the various
dances were INDUCED in. Idaho
Spring seldom, if ever, turned out
a more happy and congenial
crowd. There were fully three
hundred people present. The
entire arrangements eand fin
ishing of the ball were admira bly,
commented on. The comfortable
upholstered seats that lined the
four walls are a luxury to the
dancers aud also the non-danc-
ing people. The music was fur
nished by Leach's orchestra
The prize waltz was won by Mrs.
Tom. Booth and Jack Richards.
This opening was a decided sue
cess and managed III an easy and
most orderly manner. With such
conditions there is no reason why
this hall will not be patronized
very literally. It is the inteil-
ton of the management to have
everything conducted ii way
that none of our people wal hes
itate to attend on Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday evenings. Dis
orderly conduct Will net be
permitted and The bez of decor
um will be insisted on regardless
of person.
