SOCIAL EVENT OF THE
 YEAR WILL BE SHRINE
 DANCE DECEMBER l6
Formal Affair And To Surpass in Beauty and Splendor All Previous Functions of
 the Mobiles

Tuesday evening, December 18th. in Elks' Auditorium. Juneau, is the day, date and place of the beautiful and elaborate formal, annual, so- cial function under the auspices of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. Keen interest and boundless en- thusiasm is being manifested in the coming extraordinary event (the first "dress-up' affair by the Shrin- CTS for several years) especially by the ladies who are rejoicing over the opportunity to once again ap- pear in their gorgeous gowns and play their part fin making the Shrin- er's great event the greatest, from I standpoint of beauty. loveliness and happiness, ever staged on Gas tineau Channel.
 Formal to the limit, is the order for the evening. All Nobles will govern themselves accordingly and under no circumstances fail to wear the Fez. While the event is strict ly formal, let it be said that Shrfn- ar and any of the clubs guests, will be welcome in any apparel they elect to wear. It is obligatory up on all Shriners to wear the dress suit and Fez. Shrine tradition calls for full dress at all social functions; however, the rule is amended so that those Nobles not at present having in their possession one of the animals known as dress suit" may attend the dance in their next best garb, and this amendment of the rule applies to all of the guests who. contemplate attending.
 The principal end to be attained by this 'drcss-up" feature. for this particular event. is the creation of scene of beauty that will live long in the memory of every one pres ent. The committee on decorations will go over the top in having the auditorium a grand sight to be- hold-flowers. rosettes, pennants, flags, grotesque and weird Shrine emblems of every character and de- scription will adorn the hall in a most attractive manner; a program of the dance will be printed; spec

The convenient thing about 1t, Is. if one buys real silver. he can easily get his money back by melting it! It's hard year on heirlooms.
