of inc 10 1,,~y L.
season. 1t was decidedly popular affair
with about 400 couples present. one OF
the largest gatherings at any dancing
party held in this city for a long time
Music for a program of "a dances and
several extras, continuing from nine
until two o'clock, was furnished by the
Royal orchestra of Montreal. This
musical organization. including ten
pieces, furnished a dance program which
has not been exceled at any dance in
this city in many months.
Burlington was well represented at the
ball and there were number Of people
from the Post. from Essex junction,
shelburne. Charlotte. Hinesburg and
other nearby towns. Altogether 1t was
very successful affair, and It In ex-
pected that it will become an annual
event In this city.

evening as a part of the regular pro-
gram At one Of the intcrmissons, Paul

delegates at the national convention of
the American Legion at Minneapolis,
stating that Vermont had received the
banner offered by the national head
quarters of the legion to the State hav-
Ing the largest number of paid-up men,
berships in proportion to the population.
This announcement was greeted with tre-
mendous applause.

was due to the attractive decoration,
which included American. French. British
and other flags and bunting, together with
seVera service flags, las lefulIy ARRANGED

of the hal because the dancers in all

better under this new arrangement. A
bower Of pahas made up tho background
OF the orchestra platform. These decora-
lions were in charge of Lieutenant f.. H.
