DANCEN THE CLEANING
ANOTHER ENJOYABLE HOP BY THE LINSLY
CADETS AT TIE ARMORY,
Ths Natural Gas Grows Weak aud Plays Havoc
With the Shades and Shadows-Fine Music
and an EzcslIsn! SuPpsr-Who Were
There and What They Wore

There was a dance in the cleaning
last night. 1t was at Linsly Armory,
the scene of many previous terpsi-
chorean triumph, and il was a triumph
again last night, in that youth and
beauty and merriment tTiumphed over
the dim, uncertain light.
10 was a novel dance In some respects,
one of which was that there was not
sufficient natural gas to picture all the
glitter and the glamour that was there.
In reality the party only half bloomed,
but to Judge frUn the unceasing merri-
ment that prevailed il was none the less
enjoyable. In some way the arteries
OF the main pipe became clogged, and
a very limited quantity Of the aeriform
fluid came 70 a focus in the gas jets.
Ii was particularly dim in the gentle
mans dressing room, reminding one OF
a scene off the coast about half-paSt
eight in March, while the general as
pect in the ball room proper was In
sense obnubilated. But lots OF jolly
dancers were there, splendid music was
furnished by tie Opera House orches-
ira, the decorations were well arranged,
the supper was out Of the usual run,
the toilets OF the fair ones were en-
trsncinR-with all this who could not
enjoy himself without the full eHul-
gence.
The carriages began to roll up to the
scene of feStiyity shortly after eight
o'clock, and by the curfew hour all
were in readiness on the waXen surface.
The music was furnished by the Opera
House Orchestra, and some OF their
most popular melodies were unravelled.
Seated about the armOry were many In
terested spectators, several OF tue state
ly matrons present gracefully filing the
role of ChsperOnes, ever and anon
glancinE with a certain admiration
upon the pretty evolutions Of their
offspring An order OF TWEEN
ty-twO dances was discussed, and
at intermission finely prepared
supper by burst was served
on the third floor, the participants
going TO the prandial pleas
ures by neatly executed march,
planned by Lieutenant Brannersreuther
and led by Mr.. Harry Zeverly and Miss
Lille Norton. IL Was regretted that
the light was not sufficiently strong TO
display TO good advantage the many
beautiful toilets, but IL was difficulty
that could not be easily remedied. Prof.
Birch seemed everywhere present and
Joined with the genial Lieutenant in
extending the c0urtesies Of the hour.
