DANCING GRANDMOTHERS.
good many members of the sisterhood,
who have passed into the stage of stately
matronhood, also owe their allegiance to a
dancing class, that is open only to elderly
women, some of them grandmothers.
Few enough of the sex, after reaching
the dignity of forty five years, care to dance
in public and share their daughters part
ners, though their toes may be as light and
their hearts respond as gaily as twenty
years ago.
The chaperons' dancing class has been the
outcome of this desire for youthful exercise,
and on stated mornings, at IL O'Clock, a
score of danes, with more or less frosted
heads, with q CLEAN of latent friskiness In
every eye, and their feet shod in cOrrectest
patent leather pumps, hustle into some
members long drawing-room and go
whirling down the waxed floor to be-

The only men of the party are a dane

musicians, stationed u nder the palms in the
hall, for the danes dance together, polk,
walk, glide, and gallop through all the
latest steps, pair off for the lancers,
sometimes spend the whole morning over
german with favors and invariably
wind up with a good old Virginia reel
or Highland schottish, showing as much
grace, in spite of their sometimes noble
girth, as the slimest debutante and as

cadets. At 1 O'Clock the dance is over

To Prevent Charming.

As cold weather approaches women try
to devise means for preventing hands and
lips from chapping. An excellent remedy
to prevent chapping is cold cream. The
