A st. Patricks dance was
given at the Opera House We'd
nesday evening by the Rod and
Gun Club. The hall was beau
tifully decorated for the oc-
casion with shamrock, ivy, |
ferns, evergreens, and ,potted
plants. Over fifty shmrock
leaves were painted on card
board by hand, the ladies' COM
mittee doing the work. The

lowing ladies of Newport, Mrs.

and Mrs. Il. D. Morse. The hall
was brilliantly lighted with
dozen large electric lights. The
music was exceptionally fine and
was furnished by the Pickins
Orchestra. A splendid supper
was served in the Club rooms by
the ladies'. This was one of the
best dances ever given at New
port. The order was perfect
and everyone was happy and en-
loved the may waltz and the
three-step to perfection. All
the participants wore bouquets
of shamrock and green ribbon.
One hundred and fifty plates
were set and all of them were
taken. These fine dances are a
strong auxiliary to the success
and perpetuity of the Club. Ex-
perience teaches that everyone
needs rest and recreation and
pleasure, free from the cares OF
business and the drudgery Incl
dent to human life. This is the
religion of humanity, patriotism,
benevolence, love of home and
the temperate and generous
qualification of every natural ap-
petite.
