Dances, bridge parties, ping-pong tournaments, and -many other events have been held during the past week in the interests of queen candidates, and in this way many hundreds of votes have been gained for the various candidates.

It is an alluring prospect, and the gala spirit will be abroad both night and day, because the joy of make-believe will have claimed the hearts of all.
