HARD TINIE8 DANCE
GIVEN BY EAQLE8 j
The hard limes dance given
under the auspices of the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles last night
was a decided success, there b.?~
ing over ninety couples on the
floor at one time. The dress of
the ladies and gentlemen was
well in keeping with the nature
of the dance, while the few who
made lhcir appearance in hilcd
shirts and while chokers were
soon divested of these badges of
good times, and made to dance
collarlcss. All those who atten
ded voted having had a splendid
time, and expressed the hope that
the Kaglcs would continue to give
specially dances during the slim
