Dancing * followed until 12 o'clock. ‘ Over 200: people were in attend- ance, including. Rotarians and their wives and guests from New Bhitain, Hartford, New, Haven, New London, Waterbury and Torrington. Bridge ‘and. whist tables had been set for the. ladies of ' visiting Rothr- fans so that:they might aspend their afternoon at. the club. Many of the women, however, played . golf on the course in a most proficlent manner. The ball room, which also served for a dining room for this occasion, was tastefully decorated with Ameri- can flags. 'Over the fireplace was the emblem of the Rotary club, decorated with small red electric lights. At each place on the table there were found all sorts of favors and each lady present was given a small carving-knife in remembrance of the Landers, Frary & Clark Manufactur- ing company. The guests marched to their seats at the table to the tune of “Hail, Hail, the Gang's.All Here,” which was played by the Alpha String.orchestra furnishing' musie for the affair.. The jollity soon began after the people were seated. Within a short time the room ap- peared to be filled with various col- ored balloons which had been inflat- ed and were floating in the air. The balloons were .chased about in the rooms by the diners at the table. Rotary songs were sung by the Ro- tarians, ably assisted by their wives. Dave Young entertained in a most amusing manner, telling manyiof his Scotch jokes. Following the dinner Miss Hulda Johnson, late star of the ‘‘Ginger- bread Man,” rendered a- vocal solo which was so well received that it was necessary for her to sing an encore. Miss Johnson was accompanied on the plano by John Crean. Andrew Basso, who has been heard in a number of T. A. B. productions, sang after Miss Johnson. Mr. Basso was called upon for two encores. He has a most pleasing voice and was showered with applause. Mr. Basso was also accompanied by Mr. Crean at'the piano. Dancing took up the remainder of the_evening, music for this also being furnished by the Alpha String boys. About 11:15 there was a call from most of the dancers for a Paul Jones dance. The orchestra yielded to the de- mand of the dancers and there seemed to be no end to the fun which was the result of the Paul Jones. All in all the affair was one of the most. enjoyable and the thoughts of many “Rotes” are-already turning to the next intercity gathéring. Teee On .Monday the students of the Camp street school enjoyed a very pleasing patriotic program composed of songs and recitations by the chil- dren, themselves, and a short ad- dress by Robert Vance, an alumnus of ‘the .achool.and ‘a veteran of the world war. . In the ‘place of honor on the stage of the auditorium where the exercises took place was the honor roll of the school, ‘with the names of its seven graduates who made the su- preme sacrifice in the world war.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922. “Delightful in every way,” is the general characterization of the past winter and spring socjal season's in New Britain. At present the numer- ous out-of-doors affairs are proving most attractive, while plans for the approaching activities of the younger set are furnishing interesting topics of discussion. Week-end parties, ex- tending beyond the orthodox four aays are frequent, and few of the glorious hours of sunshine of the last three weeks have been wasted. The winter season was marked by more than customary opportunity to enjoy the best of music and to hear the most interesting speakers. The field of art was thoroughly covered hy masters in their respective branches, invited to this city through the «fforts of individuals and organizations, church and secular. New Britain people feel especially indebted to Ar- thur G. Kimball and Theron Hart for the interest they have shown in seek- ing and obtaining the best of musi- cians, vocal and instrumental, to ap- pear before New Britain audiences. They, working through the organiza- tions with which they weré identified, have spared no efforts to make the rast season a distinctive one, and are contemplating further activities to the same end. Members of the musical organizations have co-operated faith- fully, and to them, as well as to other groups which have considered the benefits and pleasure to be derived from hearing the best in art, society feels itself indebted.
