held. Undoubtedly this dance was
the best attended by the island peo-

island folk came from Portland
swelling the crowd to the largest
seen at the Hall this season. A three
piece orchestra from Portland played
music so tantalizing that even the
older people could not refrain from
joining the merry, whirling throng of
dancers. Ice cold fruit punch was
served in dainty cups by Mrs. Kelly
