200 COUPLES
AT AMERICAN
LEGION DANCE
st. Johnsbury Ex-Service
Men Prove Delightful
Hosts at ArmOry

Hundreds of people in st. Johns
bury gave themselves over to real
enjoyment last night in celebration
of the first anniversary Of Armistice
Day. While the day was celebrated
in much calmer spirit than a year
ago it had the same touch of joy and
appreciation of the heroic work of
our soldier boys as did the first Gel
eDration.
The big event of the day was the
concert and dance in the Armory
given by the boys of the st. Johns-
bury Post Of the American Legion.
The dance was a huge success, over
two hundred couples attending.
The dance hall presented semi
military scene many of the eX-servlce
men wearing their uniforms. Many
handsome gowns were worn by the
ladies. It was merry, pleasurc-lov-
ing party and from 8 to 1 o'clock
dancing was enjoyed.
Sargent Bros orchestra gave an
excellent concert. The first selection
was from ooh, Lady, Lady"
Ralph Howes and Harold Abbott
sang in excellent voice "I'm Forever
Climbing Mountains. This was fol-
lowed by popular Jazz selections.
The dancing started at 8 o'clock
and the floor was just comfortably
filed. All of the most popular Sc
lections were played by the orches-
ira and to such lively dance music
no one could resist the appeal to the
light fantastic.
To music Of "The Vamp" an excel
lent exhibition dance was given by
Miss Beatrice Lemear of st. Johns
bury and Mr.. Rabideau of Worcester,
Mass. Miss Lemear is an unusually
clever dancer. A male chorus added
greatly to the enjoyment of It's num-
ber.
During intermission luncheon was
served at the Armory by the Concord
Candy Kitchen and scores of the
dancers went to the Ideal and the
Star restaurants where they enjoyed
the special Armistice night menus
