ANNUAL FROLIC
AT EAGLE HALL
Kenosha Retailers Asso-
citation Gives Annual
Event Monday.


For one memorable night retail en-
ployers and employees forgot the har-
assing cares of the workday world
and were merry as wedding bell' in
the annual frolic staged at Eagle hall
Tuesday evening. The festivities start
ed at eight-thirty o'clock when tables
were arranged for cards. At nine
o'clock the staid pastime was abandon
ed for the gayer whirls of the dance.
Johnson's orchestra played for the
dancing. There was happy discrim-
ination in dance melodies so that the
older folks, too, might join in the
gaiety. Dreamy waltzes were inter
spered with one-step and fox-tfot in
tantalizing succession. Each called
forth round = upon round of applause
until it scented that the affair must
continue until the "wee' sma' hours"
An unusual feature was a song-fest
of the most popular melodies. It was
interesting to note that favor centers
upon the melodies haunting and Tilt
ing in their appeal, which might be
termed semi-classic. They also featur-
ed the program of dance numbers.
Give Short Program.
At ten o'clock festivities were in
terrupted for the presentation of a
short program. Miss Coyla Marquissee
read "Compren-A-Voo," and "Bill
Thay"; Miss Olive Dilday, the whistler
who has proved so popular with Keno
sha gatherings, gave two selections;
Fred Beckman gave two vocal numbers.
The climactic feature of the evening
was the distribution of prizes. AS
each reveler entered the building he
had been presented with coupon
bearing a charmed perhaps
in exchange for his invitation. All
evening the suspense had mounted at
vague whisperings of the attractive
gifts which were to be presented to
the holders Of certain numbers. At
eleven O'Clock Secretary M d c
mounted the platform and announced
that the awards would be distributed.
A moment. later it seemed as if every
one of the four hundred jewellers were
attempting to gather in that corner.
Awards Are Distributed.
The numbers were shaken and the
first lucky number announced. Then,
in quick succession the other awards
were given, four to the women and
four to the men. Elmer Turkelson and
William Schmitt were called for
speech" when they drew two of the
| lucky numbers, but it remained for
Dave Korf to top the event. Just a
moment before he had traded and
when his number was called he hast
ened to the platform anxious to claim
his booty. 1t was the last award of
the evening and attention was cent
cred expectantly on him as he united
his package. Then, shrek which
was taken up and ended in an ensem-
bic of laughter and joyousness-
Korf held before the "eyes of the
world" a baby's rattle and nursing
bottle.
At eleven-thirty o'clock luncheon, a
la buffet, was served. Then the dane
ers returned to the dance hall and
Terpsichore held sway until one o'clock

company may force long delay in
the carrying out of elevation plans.

ingness to take the financial condi-
tions into consideration and it is de-
clared that work in Milwaukee will be
ordered started before the work is
started in the smaller cities of Racine
and Kenosha. The city of Milwaukee

a company wherein the stockholders

who acquired the leases is so large
as to make it Improbable for a pro-
