INTERIM 7TONAL TRIBUNAL TO TRY HUN RULER
EVENTFUL WEEK PREDICTED FOR PEACE WORKERS
MASONIC DANCE IS
 BRILLIANT AFFAIR

The Masonic Fraternity, known throughout the world as peerless entertainers lived fully up to their reputation on Saturday night, when the Ncnana Masonic club entertained their friends at a dance at the Union hall, which was the most bril- liant and enjoyable function ever held in the town of Nenana; and was also, from every point of view, an unqualified success.
 The dance, as is customary with all Masonic affairs of like nature, was an invitational affair, each Mason being entitled 10 the right 10 invite one of his gentleman friends and their ladies, and the attendance was limited to the invited guests. The hall was, however, comfortably crowded, the beautiful gowns worn by the wohen offering a pleasing contrast to the decorations.
 The hall was most beautifully decorated for the occasion by Mes danes Freak D. Browne, R. G. Southworth, Erie R Brown, and W H. -5licheF, wao deserve great praise for the transformation effected-it was a veritable fairyland and con- tributed largely to the enjoyment of the evening.
 The front end of the hall, over the stage, was canopied with a great net, the meshes of which were inter- twined with tender spruce boughs, electric lights studding it at regular intervals most effectively. An aperture in the net canopy over looking the hall was converted into an almost correct replica of the moon, powerful electric bulb sup plying the light, which, coming thru the paper shading, cast it's soft ef- fulgence on the happy dancers, Leading from the sides and ends of the main ceiling of the hall, broad streamers were brought together in the center in a bow, in the center of which was a powerful light; the streamers which hung in graceful festoons were in sky blue and white, symbolic of the colors of the Blue Lodge. ..:.
 The windows on either side of the hall were centered with the Ameri- can flag with a tastefully finished bordering of greenery; the windows at the rear end of the hall being decorated with bars of alternate sky blue and white ribbons, twisted corkscrew fashion. ~
 At the rear end of the hall the Masonic emblem hung suspended from the ceiling, flanked on either side by streamers and other decora- tions in the Masonic colors. Here
