Farewell Feast Proves Enjoyable
Event-P1an for Similar One
Is Now Being Made.

1t was the last night in the mess hall.
The officers who are there had been
given orders to 60 to another section
OF the cautonment. as their old quar-
ters would be taken over by 3 contin-
gent OF negro troops.
And the cooks gave them a royal fare
wen In the shape Of banquet whose
menu included dishes that would please
the palate Of any soldier--officer or Dri-
vate.
In the arst place the banquet hall, let
1t be called that in this instance, was
decorated with red, white and blue
bunting strung I'm profusion across the
room. Candles encfrcled by pink shades
were placed along the tables. creating a
homelike atmosphere for the occasion.
4 Surprise Feast.
A spread such as the men sat down to
that night cannot be forgotten in .
hurry. And what made it doubly en-
joyable was that It was in the nature
Of q surprise party. as but few of the
men were aware OF the activities of the
culinary department OF that particular
section in providing feast.
There were meats of several kind,
vegetables prepared in palatable dishes,
celery, fruits arranged In pyramid
shaped piles IN the center of the table
and Anally-most important OF alice
cream and cake.
O6Hcers Join In Singing.
Meanwhile q victrola I'm q corner Of

popular ones that were played, with

And then to top 1t all or cigars and
cigarettes were passed around to the
banqusters.

a similar afRaff SEINE time in the near
future. Only the next one will be plan
