the gay Beanies. Their destination
was in the near vicinity Of West Liber-
~, well known farmer being apprised
Of their caper, and supper was pre-
pared such as is seldom seen, while the
merry beanies had with them a kit
of McCluSkey's elegant, also violin
and harmonica. When the tables were
cleared they tripped TO the light fan
tastic just think OF it boys? the Bean
les are terpsichorean artists OF no mean
ability and the skirt dance was execut-
ed with eclat and al the wee small hours
they departed fer home when they had
enjoyed their strange lifittm al i1gtn-

The Thespiaus, the well-known dra-
matte organization, composed OF young
society people, who were shortly to pro
duce Down by the Sea" and BOX and
Cox" az the Opera House, under the
guidance Of Mr.. Z. B. Franzheim, have
deferred the presentation unit! later
date, owing 10 the frequent social ell
gagements Of the various members in
terfering with the rehearsals. This Is
TO be regretted, as there is considerable
talent stored away in this club and
many will be delighted to see it bloom
before the footlights.

The Kermoise-well, little has been
said Of late But now is the time, and
there is considerable TO say. To begin !
with, it is the Kermoise and not the
Kermiss, the distinction being that in
the latter it is more particularly dance
of nations, while the KermoiSe is con-
gomeration of terpsichorean move |
ments, rot at all confined 10 the repre- !
sentative steps OF nations. The date OF |
the Kermoise is February 25th, Goth and |
eth. This is Thursday, Friday and |
Saturday evenings. No matinee will be |
given, as it is thought by Prof. Speedy |
that it would detract from the night |
performances, besides somewhat IA
tiguing the participants. There will |
not be quite so many in the affair |
this year as last, about an !
even hundred dancers filling |
all the roles. Only three of the dances !
of last year in the kermisS will be re- |
tanned, tie Irish, American and Gypsy |
dances. Miss Martha Hare, the accom-
plished secretary, has personally adj /
dressed letters to all the participants OF |
last year, and has already received some |
fifty favorable replies, which is certain
ly very encouraging. Mrs j. L. Merri- |
man will chaperone the Gypsy dance, |
the two queens selected being Misses |
Minnie Loring and Maude Richards. |
Mrs. o. II. Rhodes will chaperone the |
Irish dance; Mrs. Joseph Speidel, the |
Indian Ghost dance; Mrs. i. Il. Sands, !
the minuet shirt dance, the participants !
being those two little fairy artists, Eliza
SDeidel and Fannie Wheat; Mrs. julius
Pollock. the Maiden's Moon Dance;
Mrs Robert Dalzell, the Gavotte go
boys and girls; Mrs. Joseph Metcalf,
KermiSS Queen; Miss Sue MetCalf,
the Cachuca, one lady and gentleman;
Mrs. John Moffatt, assisted by Mrs. w.
A. Wilson, the American dance. The
Court Dance will be executed by a num-
Der OF the pretty and accomplished
Jewish young ladies in charge OF Mrs.
Norris Horkheimer and Mrs Louis
Whirt. 1t is necessary that the Queen
of KermOiSe be fine singer, and the
committee has been negotiating with
Miss Mary Bankerd. Mrs. Charles
Hobbs will enact song and dance
scene with Prof. Speedy, and this will
likely be one of the most interesting
features. Prof. Speedy concludes his
Kermoise labors at Youngstown on the
10th Of February, and will arrive in
Wheeling on the following day, and re-
hearsals will then begin in earnest.
