On Saturday evening last at the home
of Mrs. Cash, on Estrella avenue,
occurred one of the most successful
social events of the season, the close of
Miss Cash's dancing class, which ter
minated in a butterfly and browney
ball." The fanciful carrying out of the
beautiful idea was indeed charming.
The costumes of the very young gentle
men, who personated Brownies, being
all of sombre brown, with long-tailed
coats and fantastic caps OF the same col
or. The little ladies were resplendent
as different colored butterflies in fluffy
skirts and gossamer wings. The pupils
OF larger stature were garbed in fancy
costumes. The rooms were a rose gar
den, and the moving figures were
kaleidoscope OF beauty. The fancy
dances of some OF the older
pupils were the poetry of motion.
The Tamborine dance, the Cachucha,
and Coming Through the Rye, by Bessie
Alexander, were most graceful. The old
Highiauu uInS mdue a new uellgnt ds
given by Ethel Mullens, and sailors
'hornpipe in costume, by Kittie Sandt,
,elicited most fattering comment. The
closing of the pretty ball was signaled
when the minuet set, with stately step,
passed down the stairs as from out the
frame of a picture of the long ago, carry
ing out in detail of courtesy and ador-
ing bow the corartly manners of their
grandsires. The ladies wore vatican bro
caded gowns with high, powdered hair.
and the gentlemen lace rutfles and quoit-
ribbon bound queues. The minuet was
danced by Orrie Cash with Ethel Null
lens, Fred Schumacher with Bessie AL
exander, Harold Butler with Mabel
Garnsey, Frank Muchmore with Kittie
Sandt.
