The Myopia Hunt club gave its company sat down to supper. The 
usual Christmas dinner and dance 
last Saturday evening at the elub- 
house in Hamilton, which was at- 
tended by about 50 guests, includ- 
ing members and associate members 
of the club, among whom were the 
North Shore summer residents who 
are staying at» their out-of-town 
homes over Christmas. The dinner 
was served at 7.30 o’clock and was 
followed by dancing, which lasted 
until nearly midnight,, when the 
affair was held in the large west 
room of the clubhouse, which was 
decorated with holly and evergreen 
appropriate to the season. It was 
eiven under the management of Na- 
thaniel S. Simpkins of Beverly 
Farms. The club omitted its dinner 
and dance last Christmas, as the 
members who remained over the 
holidays at their North Shore homes 
were not sufficient in number to 
make the affair a success.
