Attendance Not So Large as in Pre-
vous Years But Young People
Had Big Time.

Bennington council, Knights Of Co,
lumbus, held its 11th annual concert
and ball at high school hall Monday
evening. The entertainment once it
became firmly established. has been
one of the big social events of the
year in Bennington and the reputa.
tion of the council was fully sustained
last evening. The attendance has
been larger in previous years. Some
Of the older members of the coun-
ell who have been accustomed to at
least take part in the grand march
were not present. 1t was palpably an
occasion for the younger set and
they apparently took advantage of the
opportunity to enjoy themselves TO
the limit.
The dresses of the young women
were not extravagant but exceptional
ly pretty. Most Of them were in the
lighter shades of pink green and blue
with an occasional costume Of darker
materials to complete the harmony.
At all preceding entertainments of
the council the national colors have
predominated in the decorations and
