Y. M. H. A. ROSE DANCE
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR

1t has often been said and written
of the Y. NJ. II. A. auditorium after
some dance or entertainment given
in that popular hall that in decora-
tions the hall surpassed all previous
events taking place at the " but
it was never more truly written
than of the Rose Dance" given
there last night under the auspices
of the Y. w. II. A. Roses in all
shades of pink, exquisitely and dain-
tily arranged, changed the auditori-
UNI from a mere hall to a fairy
bower in which the lassies, in sum-
mer dresses of organizes and ging-
hams might trip the light fantastic
with their favorite lads.
To be more explicit about the
decorations there were pale pink
roses in a lattice work effect over
every window and from every ceiling
light roses strung in four ~garlands
extended down, catching and reach
ing below a pink hoop, the entire
arrangement swinging under h
rose shaded light. In each corner a
canopy of pink and green, complete
with roses, shaded a cozy corner OF
palms and comfortable chairs. Near
the entrance another canopy of this
sa m effect shaded a green booth
where ice cream was served through
out the evening by the committee,
and although the orchestra is not a
part of decoration, these would not
have been complete without the four
figures grouped under still another
canopy in the far n of the nail
amid a bower of palms. the general
effect of the rose light was dazzling
to the hundreds of couples who were
n part of the gala and informal time
and the outside of the building, to
those passing by on the street below,
was that of a ball of fire.
The music was just right INC the
orchestra played all of &he favorite
airs of those who " miss these
occasions at the Y. M. II. A. During
the evening there were novelty
dances. a sparkler dance and a
moonlight dance. and Miss Jeanette
Greenspan did an individual dance
with marked ability, throwing Amer
car beauties among the many spec
tators. In the intermission when the
evening. was half over all Joined n
community singing, a decidedly new
feature at a dance. but proving very
popular. Dancing lasted until l
O'Clock and even at that early hour
few were ready to depart for nome.
The girls cleared over 500 for the
building fund besides staging one OF
the most brilliant occasions ever
taking place at the organization.
Among the patrons and p~atronesses
were MI. and Mrs. Max Wurtzel, Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Alpern, Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac E,sberg, Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman
Wedeen, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Green
span, Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer Leicht-
man, Mr.. and Mrs. Fine and Mr.. and
Mrc NJ G Go1dbprppr.

a most efficient chairman and she
was ably assisted by the Misses

Singer. Ruth Altman, Rose Gavron-
sky, Harriet Epstein, Ada Gavron-
sky, Mrs. David Metzendorf, Rose

SEEK CHEST OF GOLD
Treasure Hunters Have Long Dioged
for Fortune on Farm.

Treasure Hunters Have Long Dioged
for Fortune on Farm.
The farm of John Ford, near King
man, Kan, is the site of buried
treasure mystery which is periodically
revived by persons who go there seek
ing chest containing $4,000 in gold.
The story is still fresh. In the minds
of the older settlers here, many Of
whom say they believe the chest occu-
pies the cache where 1t was secreted
90 years ago by an army paymaster
when he and his detail were attacked
by Comanche Indians and later killed.
The paymaster and his men were en-
route to an army post to pay the sol
dierS. 4
They are supposed to have been
camped near two big springs on the
Ford farm when the attack was made.
Both springs were well-known stop
ping places in the day Of the prairie
schooner and cattle trail, and it il to
them the present-day treasure seekers
go in their quest of fortune. The in
formation of all seems to agree on one
pOint-that the gold was buried near
the spring, but each person has a diff
ferent report as to the exact location.
Years ago many Indians went there
to search, inspired by the tale Of an
old Oklahoma Commando, who
claimed to have been in the band
that massacred the army men. But
with his death the Indians stopped
coming.
However, the lure continues to at
tract the white man, and scarcely
summer passes that some prospectOr
fails TO spend few days delving here
and polling there In the earth about
the old springs.
