LENOX, MASS. 



The Lenox Horticultural Society held 

 its annual ball February 2. This is an 

 event which is eagerly awaited by the 



whole community. Dancing was in- 

 dulged in until 1 a. m., with Escher, of 

 Pittsfield, to supply the music, and a 

 splendid program was gone through 

 In view of the fact that this is leap 

 year, the ladies had to be considered 

 and they made their choices in one or 

 more of the dances; the novelty of this 

 was much appreciated. Refreshments 

 were excellently served by Mr. Mc- 

 Dermott, of this town. About 150 

 people were present and all the ar- 

 rangements were well carried out by 

 the various committees. 



A regular meeting of the society 

 was held February 3. There was a full 

 attendance of the officers, and about 

 fifty members and friends were pres- 

 ent. Henry Heeremans and Murray 

 Scott were elected to active member- 

 ship.
