Beyond any question the most generalij- attended and most social dance of the year occurred at Light Guard hall Friday evening under the auspices of the Eastern Star Chapter. The committees have been hustling the event ever since Lent commenceú and the arrangements they contracted for made it necessary that at least 75 couples should be present in order not to have a balance on the wrong side. Sixty couples is an unusually large dance for Ypsilanti and it was with some misgivings that the committee awaited the outcome. However, Ann Arbor responded cordially to the invitations sent and nearly 75 persons came down by the motor to particípate in the event and they assured their Ypsilanti friends Of their having had a most delightful time. Finney's orchestra of Detroit played dance music as only Finney's can and all arrangements were carried out to the great credit of the committees. Up to midnight the quadrille had an equal prominence with more modern dances as a favor to the "older crowd" but from that hour until 3 this morning the waltz and two-step reigned supreme. Altogether there were 104 couples present. It was impossible to obtain the full list of those present from Ann Arbor but the following were notieed as they entered the hall: W. G. Palmer and lady, Dr. H. G. Burke and lady, Fred Dansingburg and lady, L. C. Weinman and lady, O. P. Cole and lady, Howard Coffln and lady, L. L. Robinson, R. M. Dye and lady, G. F.
