social affair of the winter season,
and it was only by using most severe
measures that the guests were per-
Suated to go home at four-thirty the
next morning.
The decorations were most un-
usual. blue and white bunting being
used exclusively. Tall square pillars
wee placed a few feet apart, draped
in the blue and white bunting. and
were topped with lights set in large
led crepe paper peoples. The bunt-
ing was draped from the center OF
the hall to the pillars at. h sides,
giving the effect of a tent. The
orchestra was placed on the stage in
a pretty setting of flags. bunting and
pictures of George Washington and a
bunting booth was made at n cor
ner for the punch bowl, which was
a huge piece OF ice.
The usual program was followed
out. having musical numbers inter-
spersed between the dances. the first
number was a baritone solo by Mr..
c. d. Williamson. Mrs. Arthur Hen
kell was next. nj sang the old fav-
ori'a "Forgotten". DR.. Smith rend-
cred two selections on his famous
cigar box. one stringed violin. Zoe
Maxson brought the musical program
to a close with a baritone solo.
The banquet was served at mid
night. and was a most delicious one,
credit being due to Mrs. Jeanne Mas
sey and Mrs. Rachel Smith and their
helpers. The long tables were
stretched out in the hall. and were
afterwards presented to the ladies'.
THere has never been a dance in
Hanna where the dancing was so
beautiful and the great number OF
fine dancers was noticeable and were
given a chance to exhibit their tai
ent and grace in the beautiful old
time dances, such as the waltz. three
s1en. y waltz, schottish and mar
cissis. A few of the modern dances
were on the program, but for the
moot part the old time dances proved
to be the favorites.
These Old Timers Annual Balls
are the only very formal affairs en-
ioyed in Hanna. but, to judge by the
increasing number of dress suits
Won every year it would seem that
they are steadily gaining in popular
ity. and. If the ladies opinions are
wcr'h anything. and men are sus-
ce?tible to flattery. there will be
even a larger number worn at the
ext formal dance.
Many new and beautiful dresses
made their appearance on the mem
bers Of the weaker sex. and If the
meI's opinions are worth anything,
and ladies are susceptible to flattery.
it will be perfectly alright for them
to hive a new gown for every affair
that takes place in town.
