The membership of Miss Lucy Ford's
ladies and gentlemens dancing class which
meets every Monday hight, has increased
so rapidly that she has been compelled to

certainly speaks well for Miss Ford's
ability as a teacher. The childrens' class
| gentlemens' class last night were well at
| tended.
Miss Bessie Dagner and Miss Maud May
| gave very pleasant dinner party last
Sunday evening. Although the
number of guests were not large,
yet the old maxim, "the more
a more enjoyable affair has not been given
| this winter Among those present were
| Messrs McAdams, Priddy, Mancourt,
Chapman, Campbell, Niederlander and

Wednesday afternoon the E. S. A met

number are being held this season, but
none haved surpassed in brilliancy and
genuine enjoyment the reception given on
Friday evening by Mr.. and Mrs o. NJ
Calhoun to their numerous friends at
their pleasant home, at Coz South EmpOria
avenue. A large number of invitations
were sent out, and it is evident that all
responded who could possible do so, and
that every one, knowing the happy faculty
of Mrs. Calhoun to entertain, and the
kind Of entertainment to be expected,
went there with the expectation of hayi
a genuine good time. And it Is safe to
say that no one came disappointed: for
there was as much enjoyment to the
square inch on that occasion as could posi-
bly, crowded into the same space of time !
Mrs. Calhoun was ably assisted by Mrs !
J. Horner and Mrs. David Smyth, which
added largely TO the success of the occa-
sion. While the company were gathering,
