ElkS Dance a
Great Success
First of Series of Brilliant
Events.

The New Elks Home was the scene
Of one Of the most successful even
ings of pleasure ever staged in New
Iberia, when on Wednesday night

the surrounding towns of Jeanerette.

vile were on hand to pa' ticipate in
the pleasures of the occasion. while
scores of visiting young ladies' We'd
with the bevies of local beauties for
the evenings honors.
The large Lodge room, with its
beautiful waxed hardwood floor, made
an ideal dance floor, while the justly
popular Banner Orchestra dispersed
strains of syncopated music that
would put dance" IN the limbs OF a
wooden-legg I'd man.
The Grand March was led by Mr..
Simon of st. Martinville and Miss
Louise Heldt of Lafayette, who did
full honor to the occasion.
Between dances the hosts of visi-
tors took the opportunity of inspect
ing the New Elks Home. and every
one expressed agreeable surprise over
the "class" and general comfort of
the place.
The enjoyment of all the guests
was increased by the serving of tasty
consisting of fruit
punch. cakes and ice cream, the latter
being served in the cool and inviting
dining room on the first floor.
1t is understood that these dances
are to be made monthly affairs, and
as only members of the Elks Frater-
nifty among the men are permitted
to attend, it is certain to result in
rush of applications for membership
among the local devotees of dancing.
Taken all in all, the Committee of

ed on this highly successful evenings
and the Elks have
added another to their already long
list of feature events in this City.

On the following day they pitched

Director Of the Rayne Club, we decid-
ID that for the best interests of the

That the first half be thrown out.
and the first and second teams in the
