Modestly warding off the champion's
fulsome flattery, the writer sank to his
ease in a mohair chaise-longue and
languidly consumed the Orange Pekoe

servant brought in upon a carved (bye

Giving the fighting Irishman time to'

chiefly to directing the play from the

An Innovation
to Dancing
I
Situated in an entirely new and different
environment, Granger 's since the opening P
dance on Saturday night, April eighteenth,
has proved a popular rendezvous. to those
who find recreation in dancing. Established
in a fine new pavilion, attractively appointed,
large, and right on the shore of Whitmore
Lake, it offers a splendid place to spend an
enjoyable evening. The Lake House Pavil-
ion is the second pavilion on the highway
upon reaching the lake. There Bill Watkins
and his Granger Eight are furnishing their
same excellent brand of music. You'll enjoy
Granger's at Whitmore Lake.
