 The Easter ball given by the Girls Joy club drew large attendance and there were 60 couples in the grand march.

The event proved very pleasant social occasion.
 The Easter whist and dance at the Springs House Monday evening proved brilliant social event. Every detail of the carefully prepared program worked out perfectly. Coming di- rectly after the Lenten period the guests were in the mood for amuse- ment, and subtle spirit of gaiety pervaded the assemblage. The lower floor was an animated picture during the busy part of the evening. The profuse and delicate decorations made a fitting setting for the ladies in their Easter gowns. No detail of the event attracted more complimentary notice than the decorations. The entire lower floor was resplendant with arti- ficially made apple, peach, wisteria and cherry blossoms, and it was hard to believe that they were not the real thing The chandeliers were deco rated with evergreen, and the lights formed the centre of big wild roses. Several wagon loads of palms and carnations contributed by the Stafford Conservatories added to the floral effect. Mrs. A. Needham and Mrs. F. G. Sanford, as hostesses, were as- sisted in the decorating by Mrs. Fred Mullens, Miss Mena Adams, Miss Mary Converse, Miss Lillian Eddy, David Bissett and Karl Adams. Whist was the amusement feature of the first part of the night, and there were 30 tables. First prizes were won by MT. and Mrs. Frank Engley; second prizes by Miss Bertha Heald and Par ley Patten, and consolation prizes by Mrs. Christopher Allen and Hannibal Alden. Dancing, with music by Lynch's orchestra, occupied the time from II to 3. Light buffet refresh ments were served, the regular girls of the hotel attending to this depart ment. About 200 guests were pres ent, and all were enthusiastic over the success of the affair when the ''Good nights" were said. The event was not only social success, but the ladies will clear about $2OO above all expenses. The money will be used to furnish the reception room at the hospital. The original intention was to furnish the nurses reading room, but the amount realized makes it possible to take up the furnishing of the larger room.
