Much interest is being aroused in the
new building of the Excelsior Social
club, now rapidly nearing completion
on the site near the Bicycle club on
! Washington avenue. 1t is expected that
1t will be ready for occupancy by April
| l. One of the features will be the fine
dancing hall on the ground floor, which
has been secured by Mrs. Elizabeth
Lewis for her dancing classes, which,
owing to her pleasing personality and
excellence of her work, have grown to
large proportions. Last summer she
| conducted a series of duck" socials.

class has increased in membership to
such degree that the Lawrence or

reception Easter Monday evening and
