!
the misfortnne to slip on the hill
by his cabin and hurt himself j
rather seriously. When he slip,
ped his entire weight was caught j

now able to be out.
While he is still unable to use;
his arm, it is rapidly growing j
stronger but will probably bcj
tender for some time to come.

the sidelines surreptitiously givn
confetti. The dancers were peltd
with the carnival paper and with
paper ribbons until the hall took
on the appearance of a Broadway
cabaret during New Years. The
| Climax was reached when the
streamers of blue and white at
the center of the dance lioor
were pulled and the profusion of
ceiling decorations fell, entangl
ing everyone.
