MILFORD EASTER DANCE
WAS BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Married Folks Tuesday Night Club
Were Hosts Monday Evening at
Most Enjoyable Dance

BY far the most enjoyable dance
given in Milford in years was that held
in the Armory Hall on Monday even
ing OF this week when the Married
Folks Tuesday Night Club of Milford
entertained a number of invited guests.
/ The number of couples dancing on the
/ floor was limited to ninety and this act
on the part of the club was soon ap-
parent when dancing started. These
dancers were as many as the hall
could conveniently accommodate. The
dance started promptly at nine o'clock
and from that time until three o'clock
Tuesday morning those present enjoy
ed the finest dance given in Milford in
recent years. To make the affair more
| enjoyable. the room was beautifully
decorated, and the decoration commit
tee OF the club were heartily praised
for their work Beginning at a circle
| in the center of the ceiling streamers
of green and yellow crepe paper were
swung to the top of the side walls. The
canopy effect thus created was made
even prettier by five large festoons en-
circling the lights. one in each corner
of square and the other in the cen
ter, dropped through the circle in the
ceiling The side walls were covered
with the paper, and every window was
banked with apple blossoms. The en-
tire front of the hall was also cover
ed with apple blossoms.
| Music for the affair was furnished by
! Lannan's Orchestra of Philadelphia.
From the very first dance the mu-
sicians had the crowd with them. and
as the dance progressed the dancers
became more enthusiastic over the mu-
sic. Those who were present and who
have attended dances in Milford in
| the past state that the music was by
far the best ever given for such an
affair in Milford
