JUNIORSLAST DANCE
THIS POPULAR CLUB GIVES ITS LAST
GERMAN OF THE SEASON.
A Brilliant Event st Beivsdere Hall with
Over Sixty Participants--visitors
from Two Universities.

As far as dancing is concerned, the
Junior German Club is irrepressiblo-that
is to say, they seem determined to keep in
motion "the light fantastic toe" as long
as the weather will possibly permit. Per-
haps this love of the terpsichorean art ac-
counts in some measure for the grace they
have all acquired. At any rate, though
young in years, all the Juniors" are
beautiful dancers and their germans seem
to be the delight of the older girls. OF
rather the girls who also dance at the more
mature germans.
It had been announced some time ago
that the Juniors had given their last
german of the season, but notwithstanding
this report they assembled again at Beivi-
dere Hall last night. and their dance was
one of the largest and most beautiful which
has occurred for months.
MANY WE'RE THs DANCERS.
Nearly sixty gentlemen were present,
which necessarily gave each girl bevy of
admirers. The fair sex, too, were in attend
snce by dozens, and pretty dresses were
innumerable. When the dancers were in
motion the scene was lovely and enohant-
ing and the ballroom presented brilliant
scene.
The music for the occasion was furnish
ed by the First Regiment Band. which con-
sists of nearly a dozen pieces. When the
dancers were all in line for that stately
figure of the german-the grand march
the musicians struck up Dixie" in lively
strains, and nearly every one present
clapped their hands in great enthusiasm.
Fourteen Of the students from the Uni:
yersity of Virginia and the University OF
North Carolina were present by invitation,
and added additional entertainment for
the ladies present, who, like all their sex,
like many and new admirers.
PRETTY FIGURES.

dances the Juniors" have. were both

The Juniors danced far into the opening
of the day, and whether this be "posi-
lively" their last german of not, 1t was
certainly brilliant success.

eral moonlight excursions, which will
probably include dances at Warwick Park
and other delightful recreations.
