Society during the past week has been
unusually inactive, no social events Of
note occurring in that time. The dullHess
is more marked by the comparison Of the
gaisty ofths week previous, The features
oil the week were the musical soiree given
by the pupils Of Mrs. sheib, the pleasant
social at 81, Matthew'S Church and the
masquerade party at Mrs, John MendeVs
last evening. Next week the social to be
given by the ladies' OF the Fourth Street
NJ. E, Church and the reception 81 Miss
Taylor at the Wheeling Female College,
promise to be pleasant and entertaining
affairs.
The dances popular in polite circles this
winter are the waltz danced in quick
time), the polka and the "Heel.and-Toe
Polka" with now and then 3 lancers
thrown in as sop to many tast'dying
Cerheri, whose dancing days are supposed
to be over, but who hang on tenaciously
from year to year. Ths "German" is
simply a combination Of figures, which
allows each couple dancing tia turn every
time, and permits them to choose other
partners and give favors, but only the
three round dances alluded to above are
permitted. In certain sets two very pop
ular dances, last winter and this, have
been aud are the Racket" and Society"
waltzes, They need little description, Tor
there are few who have not seen with Q
shudder the wild Jumping, the frantic see'
savings and apparent mad frenzy oil those
who participate in them A society jour
nal in referring to their popularity says 1t
regrets 10 see the transformation Of the
beautiful waltz, with It's slow, gliding
movement, into dance worthy OF only q
low concert.room, and which certainly al
iords to those objeCting 10 round dances
sufficient and strong arguments against
them.
