Society Section “The Friendly Sixteen Bridge Club” Mid-Winter Ball a Huge Success The Friendly Sixteen Club presentel their Mid- Winter Ball at the Dreamland Hall, Saturday March 6th, and it was a huge success. One incident stands out in this >vriters mind because it was so unique. Near the con clusion of the affair the dance floor was cleared of guests and the members, in abody, waltz ed with their wives. I particu larly thought it n fine gesture on the part of the members, for it not only complimented their wives, it also showed a difference of respect. The affair was well attend ed. The hall was beautifully lecorated and made an ideal back ground for theilovely lad ies in their beautiful formal at tire floating gracefully to the sweet music of Earl Graves and his band. This club was organized by a group of fellow’s with the express purpose of acquaint ing our people with the finer science o P playing ’bridge). This writer can attest to it’s finer merits after being a guest Sunday, at one of the members homes, and receiving a lesson. I thought I was pretty fair un til then..
