CotuniN and Decoration Combine to IVIube u I'lcture of Hare Ileautj and Exceptional Interest. If,r "" ,1 1 1 IE Tin Whistles Kustie dance held at The Caro lina, Tuesday evening, was the most brilliant as well as the most unique event, in the social his tory of the Village, with rustic simplicity and harmless merriment reigning su pivme, providing unalloyed pleasure for loth the participants and onlookers which crowded the spacious music hall to its extreme capacity. In addition to the interest which the lloor possessed with its strange company of fanner lads and lasses of high and low degree, and their varied costumes, were striking decorations in keeping with the occasion, the whole combining to make a picture of rare beauty and inter est which those who witnessed it will not soon forget. The special feature of the decoration was a rustic interior in the alcove at the head of the hall, backgrounded with straw matting and decorated with pine boughs and cones. Here were the re freshments, doughnuts, gingerbread, t i ackers, cheese, apples and cider, over which presided the sweetest of motherly matrons, (Mrs. H. W. Priest), in a quaint gown. Upon one side was a huge basket f apples, and on the other, a roll towel with tin wash basin, water pail and dip P''i'. In the alcoves at the right and left were pens, one containing three razor hack shoats, a pair of "Tin Whistle kids" and two puppies. In the other stood -rompey", the Poultry Farm donkey, groomed until he shone, and resplendent 'n a new bridle, gazing demurely out upon the strange scene and resenting all 'videnees of affection, even from friends. Pine boughs were used effectively about riie hall, and there were several novel decorative features including a monster Tin Whistle, and a superb bunch of veg etables and fruit which hung suspended 'ver the floor. Upon the walls in green letters of English Ivy, were the inscrip tions, "ask the man", and "March 7, 15)05". The merriment began at nine o'clock with the grand march, the line forming hi the hotel foyer and moving into the hall with President and Mrs. C. A. Lock wood, followed by the officers and mem hers of the Board of Governors. At the close the company was formed about the hall, and special souvenirs were distrib uted among the officers, each gift being accompanied with a sly hit in jingle verse, read by Mr. Beauchamp B. Fesseman. Here they are: "EPITAPHS" FOR THE OFFICERS. This is for Lockwood, our President, His coming is a great event. At the traps lie's a very line shot, Hut when he plays golf his collar gets hot. This is for Foot of eleventh hole fame, Munchausen really should be his name, For he tells the things lie's done here Without a blush and without fear. This is for Gordon whose great on form And about which lie argues and waxes warm He also likes to throw a lit When he does a long ball hit. The rest of these are for our guests, And right here the poet rests, For he doesn't wish to have Ids suit Spattered o'er with ancient hen fruit. A two-step and a quadrille followed, after which the dancers were marched in single file around the hall for inspection by the judges, Mrs. Leonard Tufts, chair man ; Mrs.lI.W.

If you wish to nd him quick Don't around the school house stick. Tliis is for Kenyon, known to fame As the man who gave the club its name. lie also knows a point or two About things which open with a corkscrew. This is for King; Happy Freddie; Some people think he looks like -Teddy". He plays some golf and also sings, And to the ladies says sweet things. This is for Byrnes so sad and grand He can play a brassie in the sand; Or a putter on a driving tee, And make a six hole in two or three.. E. N. Wright and W. S. North. THE PRIZE WINNERS. The prizes were awarded for the most representative and most ludicrous costumes, and Mrs. II. St. John Smith, Portland, Me., as a New England Farm er's wife, the winner of the prize offered for the best representation among the women, was without question the most amusing, at the same time the most ef fective character impersonation upon the floor, and the effect was increased by its extreme simplicity and realism. She wore a blue gingham dress and white apron, Concluded on page eight J BOYS HAVE FIELD DAY Students' Association Enjoys Program of Outdoor Sports. Team II ace Special Feature; .Hunter Abbott.
