ings We're attractive and between the
dances, whose intermisslons were but
few, the dancers strolled on the moonlit
beach and some who We're supplied with
bathing suits took dip in the surf The
supper was simple. with scrambled eggs
sausage, sandwiches and ginger ale for
beverage. The gay spirit of the party
was well carried out and some of the
dancers tarried to watch the sun rise.
The undertaking met with so much sue
cess that other like parties will be given
during the remaining weeks Of the sea-
son.

lights went out and lamps and candles
were hurriedly substituted. though by
supper time the electric current again
started. This, Of course, afforded much
amusement
