SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
The Weeks Doiags Among Well
Known People.

Last evening at Miss Gulliford's
schools, one of the prettiest sights ever
witnessed in Santa Fe, was given to the
fortunate parents of her pupils. Before
the closing of the last term, Miss GULL,
ford had promised the children fancy
dress dance, to emphasize her apprecia-
ton of the good, steady work done by
the whole school. This promise was re-
deemed last night with brilliant success,
brilliant in every way, the placita illu
minated with lanterns, and the children's
costumes being all of the gay colors
prevalent during the 18th century; the
kaleidoscope effect was enchanting As
the little folks arrived, they congregated
in the ample parlors of the CLANCY house,
while their parents were comfortably in
stalled in the spacious, we'll ventilated
school rooms. When all were assembled,
shortly after O'Clock, the whole school
was marshalled for reception by Miss
Gulliforo in the school rooms, their fancy
names being announced as they entered.
This reception was followed by the
stately polonaise march round, the music
for which was excellently played by Dovie
| Day, the march and countermarch being
arranged by the children themselves and
led by Myrtle Boyle in perfect style. A
rather startling interruption occurred at
the end of the march, which did not, how
ever, mar the children's pleasure; Topsy
suddenly bounded into the room ard
pirouetted among her young friends, who
welcomed her with screams of laughter.
The great feature of the evening was the
dancing of the graceful minuets, 80 much
in vogue more than hundred years ago,
and now being happily revived. 1t was
perfectly wonderful to see how even the
youngest children had 80 quickly caught
up the elegant manners and reposeful
grace of their great grandmother The
first minuet was danced by Myrtle and
We're Boyle, Miss Louise Schnepple aud
| Noyes Weltmer, Florence Spitz and Miss
Gulliford, Susan Weltmer and Henry Den
dahl. The second, later on in the even
ing, was performed by Ramona Baca and
We're Boyle, Ritchie Seligman and Miss
| Gulliford, Florence Spitz and Henry Den
dahl, Anita Baca and Moves Weltmer.
| Both sets elected unbounded applause
from the spectators.
The amusements were diversified by
the exilarating game of "musical CHAIRS"
for which the characteristic music was
iovially furnished by the versatile, in
imitable, irrepressibe Topsy. The or
binary, everyday dances, including the
"original lancers," succeeded, the pupils
attending the dancing classes evidenoing
the excellence of their training, especial
ly considering the short time the lessons
have been given. Both young and old
were equally delighted with Mignon Lee
Bruins exquisite "pas seul," which was
one of the surprises of the evening. After
dainty refreshments had been served IN
the pacita, the company separated, high
ly delighted with their unique entertain
ment, which will linger long in the mem
cries of those privileged to witness it.
