SOCIETY EVENT
MAKES HISTORY

Possibly the most brilliant society
affair that ever teek place in this city
was the grand ball given by the Dev-
ills Lake Shriners club of KEN Temple
Of Grand Forks. Not only was prac-
tically every Shriner of this city pres
ent, but members from Grand Forks,
Edmore, Crary, Doyon, Churchs Ferry
Sherwood and other points, the num-
Der present being nearly 800. The hall
in the basement of the opera house
had been beautifully decorated for the
occasion, and when it was thrown op-
.en to the merry dancers at about 900
o'clock it certainly presented beau
'tlful and striking appearance. One
would only have to enter the hall to
know that it was truly a Shriner oc-
casion as the beautiful decorations on
every hand told the story palmer than
words. The Shriner emblems flashed
by electricity and the pennants and
banners along with the ladies gentle
mems fezzes on every hand presented
a novel appearance. The patrol team
of Grand Forks was here and gave a
drill exhibition for the guests. A large
delegation from Grand Forks arrived
in two special coaches and many other
Shriners from different parts of the
state We're present. Music was fur
nished by Larsen's six piece orchestra
and was all that could be desired
With the splendid decorations which
were under the supervisor of chair
man j. E. Dunn, and such strains OF
music the dancing kept up until nearly
200 a. m.
