You could feel the excitement in the air at dinner time one night last week at St. Joseph's Home for the Aged. You could almost cut it with a knife. The residents were all agog because right after dinner that night there was to be the drawing for the royal court - for the big Carnival ball the Guild is giving for them Sunday at the home. Miss Alice Persica (left), Mrs. J. B. Geiger and Emile Greenleaf try on royal trappings.
