About 400 Attend Big Social
 Event in Berlin
FUNDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Many Complaints About Dogs Killing Chickens-Social Activities Spring ing up in East Berlin-Othcr News Items.

The lawn fete held last evening proved to be one of the greatest so- .cial events in Berlin's history. People were present from New Britain, Mid dletown; Bristol and surrounding towns, there being nearly 400 pres- ent. The lawn was gaily decorated with Vari-colored Japanese lanterns giving an oriental tone to the occa- sion. At the rear of the grounds electric lights were in full blast for the benefit of the booths where ice 4 cream, candy, cake and lemonade could be had by the hungry and thirsty ones. The large tennis court was divided into four sections, each section containing a booth. Beautiful , delicate asparagus ferns were scat tered here and there about the ], grounds.
 For the entertainm ent of the even- ing there were the tableaux repre- senting the different periods of Am erican history; folk dancing charac- teristic of Sweden, Scotland and Brit tany in which the gay reSplendent colorS of the nations played an inn . portant part in the portrayal. Then there was the fortune teller who was overworked by the young people. The feature of the evening was the dance of the Tree Nymphs," arranged by Miss Margaret Wilcox and supervised by Mrs George Dodd. One thing that pleased the children imm ensely was the prize tree on which were hung prizes tied up in white and colored paper. Five cents got a cOlored and ten cents a white covered prize. It was almost impossible to get near the tree. After the evening entertain ment the chairs were moved from the green and a jitney dance to the strains of a graphonola went merrily on The spotlights from the auto mobiles made the green a brilliantly lighted dance ground.
 The folk dances and those taking part are as follows:
 Swedish Dance-Francis Miller, Grace North, Natalie Gwatkin, Lila Mcdonald, Ruth Skinner, Lucy Good win, Beatrice Seibert, Mildred Ripple
 Scottish and Brittany Dance-Lois Coles, Dorothy IT ahy, Winifred Rip .ple, Laura Brown. Grace Michaels, i, Deana Brignoli, Margaret Carling .. Dance of the Tree Nymphs-Mar- Faret Wilcox, Constance Taylor, Ade- line Goodrich, Helen Skinner, Mar garet Pauloz, Elise Paulpz, Doris Honiss.
 Those in charge of the fete were, Miss Helen Rohm, general director; Miss Alice Huston, musical director; Mrs George, dancing director.
 The booths were in charge of Miss Jeanette Honiss, Mrs. Garner Good win, Mrs. H. H. Damon, Harvey

 The costumes for the tableaux were in charge of Miss Elizabeth P. Will COX and Miss Helen Rohm. Through the kindness of Major Frank l.. Will cox last evenings entertainment was made possible. Berlin should ap- preciate such favor as it made the fete a real success, there being no other grounds in the town of Berlin adequate to take care of an occasion such as that of last evenings.
