last social season have reused the young
people to action. and they have decided
that this year there shall be dances. An
opening wedge of four subscription
dances has been arranged, and 1t is hoped
that some private dances will follow.
The first of these dances took place
Wednesday night in Foye Hall, ana was
an unqualified success. The
in charge were Messrs. George +. FER
kins, Jr. Charles w. Bumstead, George
+. Beach and William J. Field. invita-
tions were issued to a select few ana
the dances Immediately became popular.
Perhaps the announcement following
soon after that no one had been forgot
ten, and that any one not receiving an
invitation was not wanted, made those
fortunate enough to receive invitations
more eager to appear at the dance.
In their choice of -patronesses the COM
mittee proved their wisdom. The patron
esses are Mrs. E. F. c. Young, Mrs.
William Bumstead, Mrs. T-hrockmorton
and Mrs. Edward L. Dung. These
ladies were all present and ably full
filed the duties Of p~atronesses, namely,
to sit and look handsome.
There was very little decoration at
tempted. A few shaded lamps and an
occasional bowl of flowers made a cosy
corner of the small room near the ball
room. h committee thought. and wise
ly. that the pretty gowns of the ladies'
would be all the decorations needed for
the ball room. !.
DANCING VERSUS EATING.
Music was by Cranmer's orchestra,
and everything so conspired to make
dancing delightful that the dancers hard
~ wanted to stop ever for supper, which
was daintily served in the hall below by
Purcell. The dance was so extremely de-
lghtful that the members are already
eagerly awaiting the others hlch oc-
cur in january, February and April, the
last named not occurring on April Foofs
Day. The February dance. though, will
be st. Valentines Day.
