MR.. j. j. LA WRENCE'S
IA THEIR PASSES A WA Y

Mr.. John j. Lawrence, of Palisade,
was much shocked on March IA, to
learn of the sudden death of his
father. Mr.. John J. Lawrence, senior,
was a gentleman of sixty-seven years,
hail, hearty, and healthy, whom, to
look at, no one would ever have
suspected of passing suddenly from
this world His tall robust form was
the picture of health. However, as
IS often the case with big, strong men,
he was seized with hemorrhage of the
brain on March IA, and died before
anyone could give him assistance.
The doctors diagnosed the case as a.
..opleXy.
Mr.. LaWrence's business was
lumber and he worked daily at this
up to three years ago, when he re-
tired. He lived at 34S East 140th
street, in the Bronx. He was born in
The same house in which he died.
Few people have the reputation of
Mr.. Lawrence as a church worker.
FOR sixty years Of his life he was ac-
lively connected with the good work
and never was so happy as when he
was doing for others. He attended
st. AIMS Episcopal Church in the
BronX, where for fifteen years in his
youth he held the position of organist
Scarcely an office, outside of the
clergyman's but at some time had
been held by Mr.. Lawrence. He was
loved and revered by all who came in
contact with him. His loss was a
severe shock to all who knew him and
he is mourned deeply by his son, who
is wearing the heaviest mourning.

St. Patrick's Day
Dance Held at
Firemen's Hall.

High carnival was held at Grant
wood Fire Hall on St. Patrick's night,
when the Eastern Star gathered in
mask and costume for their mas
querade ball. One hundred and fifteen
costumes, ranging from the fairy-like
to the grotesque, were recorded.
There was naturally much rivalry,
as prizes were offered for the best
costumes.
All of the halls three floors were in
use, the top and bottom for refresh
ments and retiring rooms, and the
central hall for the festivities. Here
the scene was bright with dress stuffs
of every description, color and cut
Dancing slippers, and stockings, and
ballet skirts of flaming red, robes of
green and gilt; rosy arms and laugh
ing faces, what could be seen of them
and the merry buzz Of voices, filled
the room. On the stage were the mu-
sicians, whose strains were always the
signal for setting the whole mass of
humanity and frills into great
revealing stream of dancing.
The prize-winners were Mr.. Harry
Vorters, "Torador," prize $3.50 gold
piece, and Mrs. Lang, of Woodcliff,
"Dove of Peace" handsome hand
bag. Mrs. Jeff, of Hudson Heights,
"Organ grinder" received the prize
for the most comical character; it
was fine dresser set.
The local chapter of the Eastern
Star Order, the Guiding Star chapter,
No. SO, is really the East Bergen
chapter, it's territory extending from
West New York on the south to
Leonia on the west. The officers this
year are: Mrs. Muriel Jeff, of Hudson
Heights, matron; Mr.. Fred Wielans
is patron, and Mrs. Mary Wolfe, of
Grantwood, is chairman of the enter
tainment committee.
