| lead" and to do without their ac-
| customeds escorts at a dance and now
| that women were becoming more and
l more Independent, mere man wasn't

business women of all ages and sizes,
some in party clothes, and others in
| street clothes danced, laughed and

half the guests been men.
The hall was especially decorated
for the occasion with quantities of
ferns, and huge urns filled with
autumn leaves and cannas. Punch was
served during the evening.
