Society has enjoyed an exceedingly active
and enjoyable week. There have been recep-
lions, parties and weddings galore, and now
matters must necessarily calm down with the
approach of Lent. The last assembly of the Fri
Gay Night Club has taken place, and for years
this event has been regarded by the local
swell set as the formal close of the busy winter
season of festivity. The coming week from
indications win not be a particularly active
one, although there are quite number of
dinners and teas still remaining on the calen-
dar and to be disposed OF. The wedding OF
Miss Sheldon and Mr.. Paige at st. Luke's on
Thursday was really the event of the week and
attracted society from far and near. The
church never looked prettier and seldom in
deed are such handsome toilettes to be found
at a church event OF this character.
The new Gavottc quadrille, dance very
much in favor with Emperor William of Ger
many, is finding favor in smart circles in the
East. Already few of the foremost dancing
masters in exclusive circles are teaching the
new dance. II is so stately and impressive,
properly carried out. that fashionable circles
will surely take it up before long and popular
iZe it. In Berlin, where 1t has been danced for
several months, it is immensely popular, not
only in court circles, but in other and more
. plebeian bathrooms.
1t begins with deep bow to the audience,
after which the couples take their places in
quadrille form. Then, to salute partners, the
ladies dance TO the center, where they stand
opposite their cavaliers. The men do the same.
Then comes the first important figure-the bal
ance. Next there is half turn with q single
hand, after which, turning with both hands,
the four couples form the "star,' one of the
prettieSt figures OF modern dancing. After the
dancers resume their first positions in the
square, chain is followed by balance figure
called by the composer the "roSette." The
chain is interrupted, then resumed, and leads
into the next to the last figure, a grand prom
enade. Then comes fourfold 'moulinet," or
millwheel, by the ladies' Finally there is
turn with the left hand and farewell salute.
