NOTES FROM THE CLUBS.
LAST WEEKS PARTIES:
Among the attractive points in Chicago society
are it's club-parties. These arc Of various kinds.
but are chiefly devoted to dancing. They are for
the most part restricted to tho different Divisions
Of the city, and each one has its numerous gath
erines of people who constitute "our set.''
Occasionally thore is slight overflow from one
Division into the other but for the most part the
barriers remain firm, and -four set" ia con-
fined to a special portion Of tho city, and to u
special church organization. The preacher,
therefore, who regards dancing ns being one OF
thosa sinful and intoxicating delusions that
attract young people to the broad aud flowory
road that leaJeth to destruction will,
perhaps, be shocked to know that,
IN answer to the question "a to .'vho are tho
people who compose your TEpsichorean Club?'
the reply in more than half the cases would be,
'oh, all the young people who so to our church"
