JDY FEAST WAITS AT !. TOFT'S COUNTRY CLUB

That wonderful and spacious dance hall at Toft's Country club was filled again last night with a crowd of de- lighted dancers who stayed until the wee sma' hours swinging happily to the strains of perfect harmony found ..only at Toft's Country club. Tofts has along since been accepted as the center -of all joy activity for Phoenix jewellers. 2 And tonight greater surprises are spromised than ever before Everyone who evor ripped the light fantastic fhas indicated the intention to be right there when the first strains of that wonderful harmony emanate from the Instruments of the most talked of band .that ever wended It's way to Phoenix.
 Dancing patrons at Tofts win never cease talking about tho peculiar har- tmony of Canfield's Russian horn and rnight after night requests come one after the other for another Butterfly on the Russian horn.
 tf you don't put your "Walkovers'' on Toft's floor tonight you will miss the biggest joy fest of the whole week. The large number of reservations al- ready made for tonight indicate rec
 ord breaker at the Country club.
