 "Of With the New
 The old adage 'off with the old and on with the new received a jolt last night at the dance given by the local Grange at it's new hall. When the winter started. the society made ar engagements for a series of dances dur ing the cold months. The gyrations of the modern dances seemed to be the most popular and the Changers attempted to cater to the followers of that form. However, attendance was not as large as anticipated, so the committee decided to return to the old-fashioned dances exclusively last night and as a result the largest crowd that ever attended a Grange dance was present. If the pleased expres- sions of the dancers may be taken as a criterion. the old-fashioned waltz and two-step are coming into their own again in Berlin
 Pleasing Entertainment. St. PauPs parish hall was crowded l to the doors last night, when the Ken s1ngton Female troupe made it's first l appearance. The entertainment was l one of the best ever presented by To- l cal talent in the district of Kensing- ton and could compare favorably with a number of similar professional en- 1 tertainments. The work of the mem bers showed they had practiced faith fully, the solo parts being rendered in a charming manner while in the chorus parts the blending of the l voices was nearly perfect Several l jokes of local interest were given and the applause which followed them | was terrific. After the performance. ! dancing was enjoyed until midnight. The proceeds will be used for the benefit of St. PauPs church and a 1 neat sum was realized.
