KIWANIS ENJOYED
DINNER N DANCE
Annual Ladies Night Entertain
ment Held Tuesday Evening
at A. c. Country Club.
CONGRESSMAN A SPEAKER

The large dining room of the Allan
tic City Country Club, decorated with
huge pumpkins, corn shocks and other
articles symbolic of the Halloween
season, was the scene of a brilliant
dinner dance and ladies' night, given
by the Pleasantville Kiwanis Club last
Tuesday evening. The feed was Won
derfully prepared and delightfully."-
served to the crowd that taxed the
room to capacity. The orchestra, spe-
cially selected for the occasion, con-
/ sisted of such we'll known musicians
as Nick Nichols, Ike Nevelin and Clar-
ence Daugherty, Jr., all three we'll
known orchestra leaders of no mean
repute. During the feast, the orches-
ira rendered several beautiful selec-
tions, and about every conceivable
| noise-producing novelty OF the market
| was brought into play to make the oc-
| casion a memorable one. The Com
mittee in charge, headed by Doc"
| Greer, apparently overlooked nothing
in the way of amusement and enter
tainment for their guests.
The speaker of the evening, a we'll
known young Michigan Congressman,
kept the merry-makers in an uproar
with his mnay witticisms. His speech
1 would at times take on the serious
vein, and his recitations of several
poems, of a serious as well as witty
nature, won the plaudits of the gath
ering.
Among the entertaining numbers
was a magician, whose battling tricks
amazed and delighted the throng. His
clever manipulation Of the watch of
"Stan" Zippler. who was assisting
him at the time, was a fitting climax
| to an entertainment full of surprises.
A fortune telling booth attracted the
attention of many.
Wilbur and Norman Reed put on n
of their comic sketches, which won
much applause. AS a finale to their
program, Norman Reed rendered a
parody on Barney Google. in which
he made use of the names of several
prominent Kiwanians with telling eff
feet.
During the evening several prizes
were awarded, including three that
were won through a guessing contest.
A committee in charge of this latter
event, selected twelve of those pres
ent, through a drawing for names from
the entire gathering, and the twelve
selected were seated in the center of
the room. A Mason fruit jar, filed
with grains of corn, was the first test,
and this prize was won by Mrs. Ray
mond P. Thompson, a cut glass fruit
bowl. The second was as to the
weight of a pumpkin, a gold medal
being the prize. This was won by
Walter w. Whitman. The third was
for the closest guess to the correct
| age of Bob" Race. The prize was a
silver loving cup and was won by
Mrs. Alfred V. Wright. This event
created quite a little merriment.
In the masked costume contest, the
prize for the most attractive costume
was awarded Mrs. G. Fairchild Starr.
and that for the most comical costume
to DR.. L. C. Spalding.
DR.. w. j. Hudson won the attend
ancf prize.
Immediately following the dinner
and entertainment, the floor vas clear
ed and dancing was the order of the
evening until midnight. The music
was wonderful, and the dancers SEEM
ed little fatigued after a long evening
of dancing to the strains of the latest
numbers.
All in all, the affair was probably
the most enjoyable event the local
Club has yet given. The Committee
in charge deserve mu0 praise for
their splendid program, which receiv-
ed the highest commentator of all
present.
