The members of the Idlehour club,
an organization of Manchester young
men gave dance at the Central
Opera house on Monday evening and

in the dancing program. One hund-
red and twenty-seven numbers were
issued to dancers, many of whom
came from a distance, Winthrop, In

their guests, theSwhole going to make
the affair one long to remembered by
those present. =. N (. {ssast
Not the least by far of the even

Ladies' Society of St. Mary's church
While these ladies' have long since
established a reputation for the ex-
cellence OF their lunt heons at dances,
this one really surpassed any of
those given previously, and the
dancers displayed their appreciation
/ in an unmistakable manner by liter
ally cleaning up everything in
i sight.
The Idlehour club made many friends
by the manner in which they arrang-
ed for and produced the delightful
