The “Old Men’s Ball” Christmas night was a complete realization of the cherished hopes of the promoters. Many were present who have not tripped the light fantastic toe for a dozen years, and not a few white haired sires and matrons joined in the music inspired evolutions. Many of the olden time figures were resurrected, and the younger up-to-the-latest dancers had to acknowledge their inability to participate in some “fancy dancers” of their progenitors. Indeed the music was so grand that few could resist the temptation to repeatedly respond to the call, “get your partners,” etc. Refreshments were served at the restaurant at midnight, and the merry whirl resumed, to continue until a trifle past two o'clock. There may be some disappointed non - participants who have been industriously prophesying concerning the event, but it is pleasing to note that no just criticism can be made. About seventy couples

were present from among the most exclusive families of the town. Several guests from abroad graced the occasion with their presence. It is an established annual event that will be looked forward to with pleasurable anticipations.
