Approximately three hundred people attended the gala affair. It was a most romantic scene with girls in evening gowns, the interior draped in a bewildering manner with red and white crepe paper, fur boughs and dim colored lights to add a more gorgeous sight with its light effect. It was the most colorful event with several prizes being offered. The prize waltz was awarded to Henry Sijohn and Alice Alexander. Three beautifully dec orated cakes were given as door prizes to the following: Mr. F.J.Rickard, Edward Case, Anna Washbrekoff. A very delightful refreshment was served during the intermission.
