ST.PATRICK'S
DANCE IS
BIG SUCCESS
125 Couples Enjoy Affair
Given By Auxiliary
of 3. of X. T.

The st. Patrick's dance last cv-
cning given by the Ladies AuXil-
iary of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmcn was a rouSing sue
cess from start to finish. The Ar
mory never looked pretticr than
with green and white decorations
used. The stage setting was no
vel and wonderfully effective. A
latticed canopy covered with
white and green under which were
grouped the orchestra, partially
screened by row of palms, and
fcstoons Of the two colors, sur
rounded the balconies. Shamrocks
were placed everywhere, dccorat-
ing curtains, and the punch table,
presided over by Mrs. Al kcnni-
son and Mrs. Fred Hall.
Fully one hundred and twenty
five couples were on the floor, and
the pretty paper caps which each
dancer wore and the hundreds Of
green and white streamcrS hung
throughout the hall made a brill
iant dash of color and liehtencd
the rather sombrc look of the
costumes. The dance was most
informal and the gowns though
many of them handsome were al
most without exception dark in
color.
An enjoyable variation from
the foxtrots and toddlcs were the
Portland fancy, waltz, galop,
quadrllcS and other old timers.
These were danced with good
deal of pep. "Unclc Dave"

if some faicld to swing their cor

swung partners and let it go at
that.

Young

The members of Chamberlin

Veterans added new laurels to their
long list of trlumphs as royal en-

and Mr. Hcyer, March II, 1843.
This brings this genial trio of
young-old vets into the 80-class,
but no one would have known it
at Thursdays celebration in their
honor, for they were ready to
crack a joke OF tell a war yarn
with any of them, and could de-
YOUR birthday cake with all the
satisfaction of kid in his teens.
The oldest guest present was J.
K. Symes of Ryegatc, in his 90s,
who looked upon the birthday trio
as boys, but who enjoyed the
days proceedings to the full. The
youngest person present was lit
tie Miss Beverly Wright of ST.
Johnsbury, five months old, who
also had a good time. And be-
tween these two limits in point of

hundred guests representing the
Grand Army, Relief Corps, Sons
and Daughters of Veterans, neigh
bors, relatives and friends, and

tions to the men in whose honor
the party was held. Nothing more
is to be said about age or about
anybody's growing old, for it was
not mentioned prominently and

together.
The dining room was appro-
priately decorated for the occasion
and the favors were reminders of
the carly approach of st. Pat
rick's Day, tiny green flags In
the center of each of the three big
tables was a great birthday cake.
One was made by Mrs. L. H. Wit
ty, another by Mrs Harry Waite
and the other by Mrs. Milo Han
sen. The mans birthday has not |
yet arrived that was celebrated by |
IA finer sample of expert culinary /
art, and their cutting and eating
was the croWning glory of sump-
tuous feast. The tables were set |
three times before all the guests
were served, and still there was an
abundance left to supply ample
fare for the supper to which many
remained. The dining arrange
mcnts were in the hands of com

Mrs. Beulah Brickett, Mrs. Ada
Battles, Mrs. Frances Smith, Mrs.

The credit for the arrest goes
to Joseph E. Lambert, night op-

drawn to the repeated purchase of

1t has happened at different times
since last summer that this same

tickets to New York. Mr.. Lam

no proof and kept the matter to

bought two tickets he at once
communicated with inspector
James Ford, who sent Dan Hur-
