The First of the Series Brillian
success- The waltz the Favorite
stem with Our Society People.
The Social Clubs Christmas bop wa
q brilliant success. The attendance
was large and the dancing fi"or wa
crowded with handsome ladies whose
beauty was enhanced by their charming
,.nd becoming costumes. 1t was
pretty scene-the misses just entering
upon the pleasures Of the social %oflo
sharing with their elder sisters the ad'
miring attention of the gallant youths,
and fitting like the butterflies, lured 10y
Terpsichore to revel in the JOYS OF the
dance. -.f...a.
The music was bewitclfiGg and en-
trancing. and even the staid matroh
and the more than staid married man
ioined the suite of the God of Dancing
and cast aside for the nonce dull care.
The visitors pronounced it one of the
most enjoyable affairs ever given oy the
club and its members richly deserved
the compliment, as nothing had Deen
left nndone that could tend to the com
fort and pleasure of their quests.
The floor was ably managed by Mr..
r B. Watkins. of Odessa, and Mr.. ).
G. Kelly. who represented the Middle
town contingent.
There we're about 80 couples dancing
and large number present who did
not dance.
The waltz prevailed on The dance
card. and conclusively points to the
fact that the square dances are becom
ing less popular each season.
There we're so many handsome ladies
mesent that to name the belle of the
hall would be TO undertake a great
task. Yet there was one who impressed
the TRANSCRIPT man with her lovely
complexion, exquisite grace and mod
eat dpmeanor. She was fair OF face and
form. with wealth of chestnut ring
let's; brown eyes that snapped "i'ha
ropuish twinkle, and whose laughter
was like ray of sunshine in bach
elor's life. She was neither tall n"r
was she short in stature, yet. with ali
was of commanding mien. And he'
name was-well, well. let Won guess.
