DANCE AT THE POST
The Garrison Amusement Associa
tion of Fort Liscunt has issued invi
tations to the friends of the soldiers
for a dance and luncheon to be given

charged 50 cents, ladies free. These
dances are given by the soldier boys

men stationed at the Post than for

bunch, and spare no pains to give
their guests a good time. An excellent
orchestra has been organized at the
