Professional Exponents of Modern
Dances Participated.

The Cafe Chantant in Festival hall last
evening under the management of the wo-
men of st. Aichael's Episcopal church
was as clever Il conception for an evening
entertainment we'll carried out as has been
offered in Brattleboro in some time.
Not only had the old hall been trans
| formed into very presentable resemblance
to roof garden trimmed in accordance
with the holiday custom, but the arrange
ment of the varied program. with oppor-
tunity for general dancing between the
numbers, aided materially in carrying out
| the desired impression.
| There were professional opponents of the
modern dances, imported from Boston for
| the occasion, vocal solos, solo dances and
group dances by local talent, readings and
instrumental solos, which comprised d very
enjoyable program.
Small tables. each with its shaded candle
| placed ON snowy linen, were arranged ON
either side of the hall. some 40 in all.
These separated from the main floor by
low railing of lattice work in which laurel
and poinsettias were woven here and there
backed by small evergreen tree furnished
the setting for the cafe.
The front of the stage was concealed
with lattice work also with its laurel and
lponsettla decorations. and large panels OF
the same materials broke the plain effect
OF the walls at the back OF the stage
Ropes of green We're draped from the bal
cony.
On the tables were dainty menu cards

time. The cards made plain what was to

the words Of the advertiser the prices
Were right
