A strange
appearance
as of
a light fog
hovering over the distant lills and
on the
horizon has
been
noticed
for
some
days
now.
People
say it reminds
them of how
the skies looked
during
the
time
of the
voleanie eruption in Martiniqlie.
To look
at New Fort,
for instanc»,
it .ans
though
it is enveloped
in
must, —poasibly
that’s
what it is.
The

show
of

exceil>nt.
The

and

this serial

As

it
was
hard
to tell who
w
the prettiest
or best

of beauty,
cul-
ture and
refineme
Perhaps
thefi
-person
who
caugzht
the eye of admirer.,
was
Mrs. Alex,
Me
Intosh
who
wore
an evening
gown of
a
mild pink that
was
tasty and
made
her
look exceedingly
attractive.
Miss Lily Bryan
of
St.
Thomas,
one
of
our
professional
women
here,
also
wore
a pink
gow ,of
a rather
brighter
hue.
Miss
Bryan’s dinples
and
a face
that
is
always full of wicked
winning
smiles
helped
to add
to the great attraction
she
created.
One of the Misses Latimer
who attend-
ed
wore
a red
beaded
gown
that
sione
like a star through
the night.
Miss
Ena Mc Intosh
a daughter
of Mr,
Amos
Mc Intosh of St.
Croix, looked like
a
regular Bast
Indian
Princess
in
her
gown of red and dotted gold.
Miss
Perla
Mahoney
of
St.
Thomas
wore
a
combination
dress
of
red
and
black
with
gold
braiding,
also
a
very
artistically
made
Dat
to
match
which
with
her Oriental
expression
made
her
loock
like
one of
the
beauties
from
the
land of the rising
sun.
Little Miss Lou Moorehead
(debutante)
looked
exceedingly
charming
in
her
evening
gown of pink satin.
Dame
rumor has it that
her many
ad-
mirers
are begirning
to give the
right
of
way
to one of her
choice
and
society
is
anxiously awaiting
an announcement,
while her parents
Jolly Dan and
Bashtul
Gus refuse
to explain.
Among the flappers
were
thie Blue Belt
Club girls
who
appeared
on
the
scene
with their bobbed
hair,
and flapper suits
that
were stunning.
The
Misses Eliason,
Miss Ella Gordon
and
Miss Lizzie Richardson
who are
the
champion base-ball
and basket
ball play-
ers
ol their team,
exhibited
their
most
remarkable
physical
@svelopnent
which
they
have
acquired
by constant
practice
of physical
culture
They
are
also
trombone
and
cornet
soloists,
play the
piano
and usually
ap-
pear
in band
concerts
of Professor
Fin-
lay’s Military Band.
Miss
Carrie Bernard
one of the
beau-
ties
of St.
Thomas
and
her
two
sisters
were
there
also
Mrs.
Titley
her
ecousin
who was
a Miss Eutah
Cardoze.
Mrs.
Max
Danielsen,
Mrs.
Marie
Letang
(Martin), the
Misses
Leslie
and
Monsanto
of
S3t. I'nomas,
Miss Crystalia
La Beet,
the
Misses Phaire,
Fleming and
Foss
all locmed
up
worthy
of
mention
for the attractiou
they made.
While
the dancing
was at
its
best,
a
ery
was heard
at
the door
and
a
large
namber
of the
girls made
a
dash
in that
direction.
Max Danielsen
had
arrived,
and
as
is
known,
his
popularity
is
of
such
an
alarming nature
that it is needless
to say
how
happy
everyone
felt
when
he.
ap-
peared looking so well, despite
his
reeent
illness.
Max danced
most
of the time with
his '
most
devoted
wite,
and
disappointed
many
who had
hoped
for
a
dance
with
the
great professor
of the
terpsichorean
art.
His little daughter
Maud who has
won
several
prizes,
was
thz
best
dancer
in
the house.
While
this riot
of amusenent
wWas
go-
ing on, the most
humorous
end of it was
taking place
on
the floor above.
Sir Arthur Johnson
who
was appointed
master-at-arms
of
some
private
stock,
annonnced
that
things
were
looking
mighty democratic,
and
anless
strenuous
efforts
were made
to replenish
the supply
from
somewhere,
he
would
have td
de-
clare the campaign
closed.
A delegation
was immediately
sent
out
to
report as
soon
as
possible,
and
while
the boys
were
waiting,
some
one
started
the
late song
hit of Bert Williams
about
the preacher
who closed
his sermon
and
started
sniffing there—A familiar -smell
down the aisle told the
booze
was around
somewhere,
All joined in the chorus,
the words
of
which
are
as follows:
Oh brother if you need
more preaching
Save
a little dram for me—-
(Glory hallelujah}
Drinking booze
aint
against
my teaching
Treat
me with equality,
Prohibition
may
be good for the church
But please
don’t lea e
me
in the lurch
Oh brother if you need
more preaching
Just
save
a little dram
for
me
{send it up with the collection.)
The
band
took up
the
familiar air
in
the time of a fox trot,
and
from then
on
every
number
played
was
epcored
re-
peatedly ‘with the words
'‘SOME
MO.”
Among- those
who

can
remember
present
were
Mr.
&
Mrs.
Ferdinand
Ovesen,
Mr. & Mrs. Louis
Phaire
and fa-
mily, Mr. & Mrs. Henry Foss, Mr. & Mrs.
