AY-WAVELAND CLUB BARN
DANCE BIG EVENT.
Local Club Again Scores Big Sue
cess-Affair Saturday Night One
of Big Successes Yet Staged by
Club-First of Series of Winter
Entertainments.

Interesting and thoroughly enjoy
able was the barn dance gwen Satuf-
day evening by the Bay-W aVeland
Yacht and Athletic Club at its spaci-
Gus and handsome clubhouse on the
beach front and Washington street.
The house committee, of which E..
J. Lacoste is chairman, assisted by
officers and members, put over the
entertaiument in great fashion, and
it's success was so decided that it is
no wonder the club has been show
cred with SO many compliments. The
barn dance was the first of a series
of entertainments planned by the
club for the enjoyment of its mem
bers and their guests, and if the first
is to be the criterion by which all
subsequent events are to be judged,
it is safe to say each number of the
series will prove consecutive sue
cesses.
Every aspect of the interior of a
barn was carried out faithfully in
every detail to permissible extent
Two haystacks and profusion of su-
gar cane and pumpkins Uttered here
and there gave touches of realism
that lent the very atmosphere of
barn-like interior.
About o'clock the guests began
to arrive, and the advent of each
couple or group was signal for ap-
plause and laughter.
A couple attracting considerable ap-
pIause and admiration for their excel
lent get-up, so true to the portrayal
of the typical farm folks, were Mr. A.
S. Spiess and Mrs. E. J. Lacoste.
They drove to the dance in a farm
wagon. 1t was quite a contrast to
the line of sedans and other motor
cars lined in front of the clubhouse.
Their appearance and mannerisms
were fully in keeping with the role
esayed, and it was the popular ver-
dict they were prize winners.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Bernard Shields,
master of ceremonies, announced the
feature of the evening, Individual
country dances by couples. A min
ute was allotted to each.
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Lorch, Sr.,
whose makeup was excellent and
true to the part, representing pros
porous looking farmers of the Middle
West, as it were, were awarded the
first prize.
Mayor and Mrs. R. W. Webb were
awarded the second prize, with Mr..
Oscar Flick and Mr.. E. J. Leonhard
next. Cakes were the prizes. To
win was literally to ''take the cake"
The second cake was divided, so close
were the contestants in line for the
prize.
Other cakes were awarded to the
following named couples, official en-
tries:
Mr.. A. S. Spiess and Mrs E. j. La
coste.
Mr.. Louis H. Burns and Miss Viola
Sullivan.
Mr.. E. ]. Leonhard and Mrs J. J.
Ritayik
Mr.. Edw. Schwartz and Mrs. Oscar
Flick.
Nj. S. M. Fucich and Mrs. L. H.
Burns.
Mr.. Chas. G. Moreau and Mrs. A.
S. Spiess.
Music was supplied by the Happy
Five Jazz Band" of Bay st. LoCis,
rendering excellent and satisfactory
services, and the special numbers of
Turkey in the Straw" ETC., were re-
ceived with a unanimous acclaim of
approval.
At II o'clock the guests repaired
to the gymnasium, converted into
dining room for the occasion, where
substantial refreshments were served
by the club, after which dancing was
resumed until the midnight hour,
when the strains OF "Homc, Sweet
Home" brought to an end all too
quickly one of the most unique and
enjoyable affairs given by the Bay
Waveland Club.
The success of this affair is note
worthy, the Bay-Waveland Club as
host covering itself with all the social
glcr-- possible, and making possible
an affair not to be forgotten. The
club fills 4 void in Bay ST. Louis
which has heretofore existed, and it
is well that the 3. w. Y. and A. C.
has come to stay.
