The only difference in the two sets was that New ,York s Four and the Barrie Four had their millions in the mak- ing. During the winter season several dances. were given. in the town hall and extended to the smart set in the neighboring towns of Or- illia. Bracebridge, Gruvenhurst, Tfoldwnter, Stayner, Collingwood, Newmarket, Brad- ford and smaller places. Figurixig on the major portion of outside invitations being accepted, the local McAllister was often obliged to pare down the home town invit~ artions; otherwise there would not be room on the floor for all the dancers, as bustles, hoopskirts and trains had to be taken into consideration. Had the modern dress-- lralf a lace curtain..and a shoulder strap- been in vogue, you can readily see how spaced could have been conserved.
