DANCE AT WILLETT ESTATE 
Employees and Their Friends Join 
in a Typical English Barn-Dance 
Many an American, returning 
from a sojourn in the rural counties 
of ‘‘merrie England’’ brings with 
him fond memories of some quaint 
old customs there. One of those 
most cherished is of festivities ou 
the landed estates—those several 
occasions of the year—May-Day, the 
Harvest Festival, Christmas or New 
Years—when the Lord and Lady 
come down from the Manor House 
to lead the dance and ‘‘keep the day 
in rejoicing’’ with man and maid. 
Such times are quite unknown in 
this country, at the present time, 
but as the years go by, they will be- 
come more common for America 
never hesitates to adopt as its own 
the good things of our English cou- 
sins. 
And, as proof of this, it was in 
much the same spirit of househotd 
unity and friendliness that a mid- 
summer’s ball was given last Tues- 
day evening at the George F. Wil- 
lett. estate, Magnolia. In a way the 
ball marked the passing of summer, 
with all that that means to the em- 
ployees of an estate, but the pre- 
dominating significance of the occa- 
sion was the fact that M. J. Mer- 
rick, the head-man of the estate, had 
reached another birthday anniver- 
sary. 
Through two whole days, man anil 
maid gave their leisure hours to gei- 
ting the big garage ready. Im the 
centre of the ceiling a great rosette 
of bunting in the national colors was 
made, and, from this, long streamers 
were run to the corners of the room 
and a score and more points along 
the walls. The walls were decorat- 
ed with flags and then, in the rc- 
sette, along the streamers, and con- 
Apollinaris, White Rock, Poland, etc.

cealed among the flags, strings ot 
vari-colored electric bulbs were 
strung. At one end a bower of hem- 
lock boughs, gaily decked and lght- 
ed, was built for the musicians and, 
with all this done, the floor was 
made smooth as glass for the dance- 
ing. 
At eight o’clock the guests began 
arriving—the first of 140 friends os 
the Willett employees who had been 
invited. In an hour they were vl 
there—for everyone invited came. 
A long table loaded with refresh- 
ments soon became a center of in- 
terest—for here, as a gift from the 
Lady of the Estate, twenty pounds 
of chocolates were standing realy 
for tasting. In the wmeantinie 
Chane’s orchestra had arrived and, 
from the bower of hemlock boughs, 
came strains of music that kept heel 
and toe a-going, and it wasn’t long 
before Mr. Merrick, who had been 
appointed Master-of-Ceremonies by 
acclamation, was calling partners for 
the grand march. 
Just at this moment there was 1 
glad surprise—Mr. and Mrs. Willett, 
arm-in-arm and smiling all over ia 
true old English fashion appeared 
at the door, accompanied by their 
son and daughter, Francis and Miss 
Martha, and the Master-of-Ceremon- 
ies ushered them in to lead the 
erand march. Away they started 
scores of other couples soon fell in 
and, in a twice, the whole company 
was swinging most heartily to the 
sound, old measures of ‘‘Sir Roger 
de Coverly.’’ 
After a time, host and hostess bade 
the company ‘‘Good-Night’’ and Mr. 
Willett made a neat little speech for 
remembrance. The music and the 
fun went on until midnight strucik. 
As a special feature, the orchestra 
had brought along a piano and, be- 
tween the dances, some delightful

Altogether the ‘‘Good-Nights’’ came

There will be a dance at the Men’s 
elub to-morrow evening. The high 
score cup for bowling was won by 
George Story last week. His score 
was 112. 
The vaudeville entertainment held 
at the Men’s club on Monday eve- 
ning drew a very large audience and 
was a very successful affair.
