Elks' Charity Ball
Unqualified Success

Gardiner Lodge of Elks, on Wed
nesday evening, added another sue
cess to their already large list, the
event being the Charity ball. The af-
fair was in every way a huge sue
cess, and from the time that Kelley's
orchestra sounded the first chord I'M
til the last notes had died away, it
was simply one grand good time.
The music was superb, the Coliseum
floor has never been in better condi-
ton and the attendance was con-
genial. The tables were literally
patronized, in fact, everything was
ing overdOne.
The hall itself was marvelously
beautiful, being decorated in pink
and purple crepe paper, with decora-
tions of birds and flowers along the
walls. The pillars at the side of the
building were done in black and
white, with checkered effect. At the
front, near the stage was a fence,
heavily draped with parti-colered
flowers, and a gateway giving en-
trance to a garden effect, produced
by flowers along the front of the
stage. 1t didn't seem one little bit
like tho old Coliseum, and showed
what an artistic mind and inventive
genius can work in the transforma-
ton line Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph r.
Littlefield had charge of the decora-
lions and much credit is due them
for such q result. The stage was
hung with black and the curtain
bore enormous gilt letters B. p. o. E.
AS in all successful affairs of this
kind, much credit is due the COM
mittee in charge. Arlo M. Adams
was the chairman of the general
committee and associated with him
were, Fred N. Boston, r. r. Little
field, William T. Pierce, Ernest l..

st. Matthews May Carnival
Scores Big Success-Dance
To Be Feature Tonight

Inc chorSterS of st. Matthews
church have much to be thankful
for in the opening night of the May
Carnival at City hall, last evening.
The various booths on the floor of
the auditorium were ablaze with life
and light. The Woolworth Five and
Ten Cent Store was a great place for
the Riddles to congregate, and they
did get together there. The coffee
garden where sandwiches, coffee and
hot dogs We're dispensed, was doing
a whale of business most all of the
time. Punch that was mighty good,
sold out at an early hour. The ice
cream went so well that not a bit
of that was left when the gang went
home. Charley Getchell with his
''f1gl wigi' dolls got the crowd agoing
after while, knocking 'em down,
and getting away with some sport
Homemade candy was on sale by
the ladies Of the parish, and all Of
the attractions We're we'll patron: zed.
The feature OF the evening was the
presence of Prof. Ernest Carter, the
magician from Portland. Carer was
right there with the goods. He made
things appear and disappear at will,
and did all manner of tricks which
greatly amused both young and old.
The wireless did not work very well
last night. The first of the 3vcnln:
the atmosphere was bad and tnunde!.
storms We're evidently encountered
At about 10 O'Clock, however, there
was some music that gave the people
chance to see what, and just how,
the radio works.
1t was a grand time alright, and
was credit to the organization.
Tonight there is to be a grand
souvenir dance, with music by the
Douglas Melody Men from Augusta.
The management has got together all
kinds of novelties, hats, caps, con-
fetti, and streamers. 1t is to be Just
one big time. The booths are 70 be
cleared away and the floor will he
in A No. l condition. Refreshments
will be served and everyone is sure
of getting his moneys worth. The
music by Douglass will be jazzy and
poppy and the hall is to be ventilated
so that there will be plenty of good
fresh air. The dance will start
promptly at SIS so be on hand early
and get a good start for the hours
are short and the time a big one.
