The Ocala evening star., 1922-12-29
CHRISTMAS DANCE AT
THE WOMAN'S CLUB

For the past ten days the dancing
set of Ocala had been anticipating the
night of the 18th, for which time the
members of the T. A. G. Club had is
sued invitations for their annual
Christmas dance. The club members
had made elaborate arrangements for
the entertainment of their guests.
The Woman's Club building, where
the dance was held, was decorated for
the occasion with evergreens and the
colors of the club, purple and white.
The forum, where the orchestra was
stationed during the evening, was eff
fectiyely outlined in the club colors,
which were woven in and out of
crystal candlesticks, and from the
ceiling at this end of the hall was sus-
pended the emblem of the club, which
was lighted with many little electric
bulbs The ceiling of the room over
head was covered with a lattice effect
or crepe paper in the club colors and
from the center. was suspended a big
ball. Potted ferns placed on tables at
the sides and ends of the room further
add to the elaborate decorations. The
music was furnished by the Ramblers
from the University of Florida and
was excellent, adding much to the en-
| jcyment of the dancers.
The dance was formally opened
with grand march led by the presi-
dent of the T. A. G.. Club, Miss Jess
Dehon and Mr.. Ralph Cullen, and
from then until after midnight dane
ing was thoroughly enjoyed. The in
vitation list included about two hun
dred and a large percentage of that
number was present. Besides the
home folks there were many out of
town people, and those who did not
dance enjoyed the evening watching
the dancers. Several special numbers
were introduced, one of which was the
elimination dance. Miss Nina Camp
and Mr.. Joe Borden received the box
Of candy awarded the last couple on
