branch Dancing Club were guests last

been managed by a committee of men
with Ralph H. Howes, chairman, and
they plan to continue the events during
the summer, going occasionally by auto
to the open pavilions and nearby resorts.
The Searsport committee, consisting of
Misses Florence M. Colcord and Violet
Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur R. Blodeett.
Mr.. land Mrs. Edison W. Fletcher, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles c. Havener and Donald
Russell, did everything possible for the
comfort and pleasure of their guests, and
admirably succeeded, especially in the
beautiful and original designs, in decora-

dows of the hall were similarly adorned.
The apple blossoms were not only beauti-
full to the eye, but their odor was delight
full also. From the corners of the hall
and center of the balcony and stage were
festoons of crepe paper cut into strips
about two feet in length and a little more
than half an inch in width, the colors
used being yellow and blue. They were
fastened on a cord, making a continuous
strip, and an unusually effective decora-
ton, all meeting in the center. The hang
ing electric lights were surrounded with
the same effect in pink and green, and on
the stage the lights were covered with
orange and purple. Delicious refresh
ments were served at a table in one cor
ner by Miss. Mabel Griffin and Mrs. Bert
Havener. Music was furnished by Nc
Keen's orchestra of Belfast, the guests
starting for their homes shortly after
midnight; all feeling very grateful to the
Searsport people for their entertainment.
