THE FAMILY CIRCLE DANCING GLASS.
THE FIRST OF THE BALLS OF THIS SOCIETY THIS
WIN lER-PREsRNCE ON THE FRENCH GUESTS.
The large ballroom at DemOnicO's was lighted
last evening for the first ball of the annual series
given by the Family Circle Dancing Class. The
organization is made up chiefly of members of the
Society of Patriarehs The tickets are subscribed
for instead of being distributed through members as
In the Patriarchs' Society. The full name of the
organization has proved too long for persons with
limited time to pronounce it, and 80 the initials
alone are used-"F C.. ID. c." The balls do not at
tract rs many people as the Patrlarchs', and are
perhaps little less formal. The society was or
ganized in 1878. The remaining balls for this sea-
son will be given January % aud February 20.
About go persons were present last night The
presence of a number of the French guests who at
tended the celebration at Yorktown gave unusual
interest to the occasion. These persons were the
guests of the evening. They arrived at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday and will sail to-day for
France. There we're unusual decorations In the
rooms. The yellow light in the ballroom and the
pink light IN the other were the same as used
at the Patriarehs' ball recently. Supper served
at midnight IN the room adjoining the ballroom.
