ST. PATRICK’S DANCE IN ST. MARY’S HALL – Volunteer Club Hold Another of Their Popular Dances Last Night.

            A peep at the merry scene which took place at St. Mary’s hall on Wednesday evening would have been sufficient to have revived the spirits of the long departed St. Patrick.  It was the occasion of the dance by the Volunteer Club of the 107th regiment and the first one given by the soldier boys at this hall.  Special decorations for the occasion had been made with copious use of the Union Jack, patriotic bunting, shamrocks and green hearts.  The programmes were on red with a green background.

            There was a large crowd present and a very enjoyable time ensued, the Cranbrook orchestra dispensing the music which the dancers thoroughly appreciated as numerous encores were demanded. Lieut. Halsall capably filled the position of floor manager and assisted all in the enjoyment of the event.

            A very appetizing and satisfying supper was served by the St. John’s Ambulance Corp and the ladies were generously congratulated by the hungry terpsichorean devotees.
