undone by the young men in charge 
to make the event the star event of 
the season and that they succeeded in 
their efforts was evident by the large 
crowd of dancers on the floor last 
night even till the closing number 
was announced at 2 o’clock. 
Attractively decorated in ferns, 
palms, potted plants and cut flowers, 
the hall offered a beautiful setting for 
the party. Almost hidden from view 
by the decorations, Stiles 8th Reg’t 
orchestra rendered excellent music. 
Between 8.30 and 9.30 they rendered 
the following concert program :
