The trio posed the above picture to give readers of Weekly Mayfair an idea of just how nice the big forthcoming 'Gay Nineties' Dance is going to be. The dance is scheduled for Saturday night, Feb. 20 at Horsemen's Clubhouse (why don't they call it Horsemen's Hall?), on Story Rd.

Door prizes will be offered for best-dressed couple, best-dressed lady, most comical costume and there will be a prize for winner of a waltz contest. The Horsemen want a big attendance and most likely they will hav eit. Dancing 9 to 1. Music by Maxine Joyce's All-Girl Orchestra. Donations are $1.50 per person."
