N. n. Lincoln, Charles Johnson, Ed
IA Chase and Andrew Cocurello, u.
6 c. g., from Gravesend Bay, and
Mack Navon. Forty-eighth Infantry;
charles Sylvester Twenty-second In
fantry, and Lieut.. Ruggiers from
Camp Lee Virginia, put themselves
temporarily under the command OF
lack Brown. floor manager. and told
the big crowd, by megaphone and
more intimate conversation. what the
smoke fund meant TO the fighting man.
II seemed as II everybody from
Brooklyn. Norton's Point, Valley
stream. Rockaway. Arverne and other
winter resorts further afield had col
l.rtci at Stauch's in honor of the
.nokc fund. The affair was "masque
ana civic" ball, fifth in the annual Sc
ries. and although its predecessors have

even when the music stopped to
breathe.
The pecuniary result Of the big
partv to THE Sun Tobacco Fund can

halt of the gross sales of admissions
at 30 cents head constituted Mr.
Stauch's generous contribution to the
Christmas drive for smokes for SOL
diers abroad and that the dancers
wore almost like the sands of the near
by sea, too numerous to count. a
guess numbers them as about 1900
n,"E and women.
An attempt was made to intersperse
evtraneous things TO the dance, in
cudinC an exhibition of first. aid and
musical numbers furnished by Leo
Fcist and the Ted Snyder company.
These Interruptions We're accepted, but
thr dance was the order Of this party,
