The entertainment committee of the Essex County 
ciub is arranging for two dinner dances at the club on 
Friday evenings, July 29th and August 19th. These par- 
ties proved so popular last season and were so largely at- 
tended, that it is safe to say the announcement of the. 
continuation of these funcions will be very popularly 
met. The entertainment committee of the club is com- 
_ posed of Mrs. Gordon Abbott, Miss Mabel T. Boardman, 
Mrs. Philip. Dexter, Mrs. Lester Leland and Mrs. Wash- 
ington B. Thomas. The dinner will be served promptly 
at 8 o’clock. Tables must be secured from the steward 
and will be reserved in the order of application, as the 
number of tables is limited. It is understood that if the 
demand is sufficient a third dance may be given early 
in September.
