FREDERICK

The dance given on Friday even
ing by the Frederica Volunteer Fire
Company was pronounced success
The hall was beautifully and artis-
! tically decorated by Mrs. John Darby
and Mrs. J. B. Hendricks. The high
ceiling was lowered in effect by
frllled festoOns of pale green and
white crepe paper which gave an
added touch of spring time in its
dainty and delicate tints. The stage
was banked in the rear with pine
and dOgwOOd trees, the starry white
blossoms standing out against the
dark green foliage. The foOtlights
were massed with the white blossoms
in front of the orchestra, while a
lovely accent of color was introduced
by baskets of wild azaleas of delicate
pink. Similar sprays of dogwood
blossoms adorned the walls around
the entire room, giving it sylvare
effect. The music by the Ambassa-
dor Orchestra of Wilmington was all
that could be desired The bright
cOlored costumes of the ladies add
ed a charming bit of color to the
scene that was appreciated by the
beholder. Patrons were present from
Greensboro, Chestertown, Salisbury,
Nd, Delaware City, Newark, N. j.,
Philadelphia, Dover, Georgetown,
Camden and other nearby towns. Os-
car p. Harrington, manager, wishes
to thank everyone who contributed
to the success of the evening, espe-
cially the ladies who donated sand
wiches, the decorating committee
and all the young men who assisted
to make the evening a delightful So
cial affair.
The lovely wisteria blossoms are
with us again and most noticeable
ones are the hedge in B. F. Burton's
driveway and the arbor on r. j.
Russell's lawn. Both places are COW
cred with the luxuriant blooms and
always attract the attention of low
ers of the beautiful in nature. The
tulip beds on w. w. Wilson's and
Dr.. J. B. Grier's lawns have also
been very lovely this spring in a
riot of gorgeous blooms.
