THE ARLINGTON BALL
The dance at the Arlington Friday night was the social event of the week.
Those who enjoy the mazes of the waltz have
learned to expect a very pleasant time at the balls given at the Arlington, and
this last one was of no disappointment to those who attended.
Manager Harrison is never more in his
element than an opportunity presents itself when entertaining friends.
Quite a number of out of town guests were present and participating in the dance
which lasted into morning hours, keeping time to the dulcet notes of the
Arlington Orchestra and when "Sweet Home" was reached on the program it was with
a feeling akin to regret that the hours had passed all too soon.
The following was the personal (sic) of
those whose presence graced the occasion: Misses Steadman, Palestine;
Macfarlan, El Paso; York, Rockdale; Webb and Rhode, Bryan; Wintz, Palestine;
Mixson, Eddy; Rimes, Camden, Ark., Wilson, Austin, Orgain, Tyler; Reynaud,
