The public dance, given in Rowland
! hall last evening under the auspices Of
Barre post, No. 10, of the American
/ Legion for the benefit of the posts club
rooms, was according to the words of
one of its chief members, "A bowling
success" More than $50 couples oc-
cupied the floor during the greater part
/ o. the evening, and nearly everyone,
/ who attended the dance stayed until
the last figure had been cut with
/ "Home Sweet Home" by CAROLS jazz
i band During the entire evening sew
eral of Barre's prettiest girls served
punch at one end of the hall. Tickets
were in the hands of members of the

cleared by the affair. To George Q.

committee, is due almost all the credit
for this success as to him fell the work

member of the committee being out Of
