V.R.C. CARNIVAL DANCE.
A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.
www.
The carnival dance held at the Victoria Recreation Club on Satur day night was thoroughly enjoyed by the many who attended. The ballroom presented gay and animated scene, decorated with Bags and Chintee lanterns, while the many pretty and original fancy- dress costumes worn by both ladies and men made the spectacle even more attractive. There was an in- terval of ten minutes during which refreshments were served and photograph of the dancers taken. Confetti and carnival gaiety were much in evidence, and the music supplied by the Lyric Orchestra, ag usual, was very good. Dancing was bent up until a late hour.

"We cannot close our minds to the fact that, with one exception, the United States is the only nation in the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Central and South America, which prohibits absolutely the eale of vinous, spirituous and mal liquors for beverage purposes. The one excep tion is the little State of Finland, and even there the tale of two per cent, beer is permitted.
"With this world-wide isolation in our experiment, we should, be for further amendment, consider some of the provisions of the pre- sent law."
