notorlety by his unfair decisions and
his failures to notice fouls when they
would count against his College.
The game. with the exception OF one
or two dirty tricks on the part OF the
Delaware College players, was
well played. We heard ono or two of

Dancing Is so graceful, so charming, so
fascinating rs an accomplishment, that no
young man or woman can be considered to
have been properly educated if he or she
has not received proper training in this es
sential social art. To dance well is to be
sure of giving and receiving pleasure on
many occasions when the person ignorant
of dancing must of necessity find the time
extremely tedious.
A mother who is foresighted and careful
will often arrange danciNg class at heI
own house for her children and those of heI
neighbors, engaging the services Of com.
petent instructor and keeping her children
and their associates thus strictly under her
own supervision. .--
Dancing classes Of Grownup young PEG
pie are select and exclusive affairs under
the patronage OF some gentle woman OIL
women who are Of undoubted position, and
who chaperon the class not only on the
weekly occasions of their practice, but at
the other pleasant social affairs, receptions
theater parties, etc, which are the natural
outgrowth of the dancing class. Very
charming friendships, sometimes growing
into betrothals and happy marriages. are
the not iufrequent result Of the informal
acquaintance of the dancing class, where
young people are brought together in Il
happy and natural way, their elders look
ing on, and the whole pleasant affair being
one of the agreeable associations of HON,
life and good neighborhood -IIarper's Ba
