glorious day. Many private dinners
and various informal gatherings
marked the happy event and kept
the social whirl going a pretty live

work are back again industriously
working in the Red Cross rooms
while others are devoting their time
to equally laudable missions.

is estimated that about $50 people
were present sometime during the
evening. The dance program began
at 9 p. M. and lasted until S o'clock

boys in their neat khaki uniforms
and sailors in blue complete the per-
