DIXIELAND.

With its gay decorations and atmosphere of revelry, the popular cabaret by the sea was a'most attractive place on Saturday evening. In the twilight dances the scene was entrancing. Chinese lights shone softly in the gloom, and a spotlight was turned on the revolving novelty ball in th& centre. On the tables in the cubicles were bowls of early 'spring flowers, and palms and greenery were placed here and there. The famous Dixieland Dance Band supplied spirited music, and many encores were given. Some delightful frocks were worn by the dancers.
