will dance the quadrille of honor The quadrille
and its dancers have been Interesting topics since
the project of having an historical dance was an
nounced, and there have been numerous reports
of rvalries and iealouses caused by the selection
of the various participants. All of the ladies men,
toned IN the several lists were qualified by the
association of their al cestors with the events of
the period commemOrated by the Centennial Cele-
