The toasting over, the merry group of youthful maidens ascended to the hall where all proceeded to trip the “light fantastic toe.” Some took the part of gentlemen and seemed quite capable. A prize was given and Mrs. Lester Burdock and MIss Lisle Houghton secured it. The judges were Mr. and Mrs. Grantham and Miss Avis Cook.
