phetic of the coming summer, augurs
well for delightful round of activi-
ties. The past winter has not been
very gay and society is a hungering
for gaiety. This, in a measure ex-
plains the large attendance at the
opening night, which taxed the ca
pacity of the club. The party was a
charming one, the dinner was excel
lent, and the music, which was fur
nished by Edward Brouin and his
Premier orchestra from Brunswick.
was all that could be desired. The
gowns Of the ladies were beautiful
and most of them colorful but with
just enough black ones to relieve the
brilliancy. The tendency toward
longer gowns was made evident by
the newest creations worn.
Dinner was served at 6.15, but it
was nearly 8 o'clock when the last of
the diners had finished. The dinner
was the first to be served by the
new seasons chef. Roscoe B. Buz-
zell. The menu was most satisfac-
tory. 1t consisted of lobster salad,
French fried potatoes, hot rolls,
olives, radishes. cucumbers, celery,
ice cream, cake and coffee.
After the dinner came the dancing,
while those who did not care to
dance were free to follow their own
desire in the way Of entertainment.
They could either smoke, chat or
play cards. as their fancy dictated.
Although a full dress affair, there
was an absence of Formally about
it. that made for an agreeable and
enjoyable evening.

bers of the club.
