The Closing Luncheon
OF the Cooking Club

Among the charming luneheons of the
early autumn was that which closed the
series of weekly luncheons given by the
Cooking club. This club which has been
quite exclusive in membership was or
ganized in June by six bright school girls
who decided to pass the summer days in a
practical manner. They gave a series of
luncheons at which each girl prepared a
course, and such an enthusiastic club did
this cooking organization become that 1t
was only few days ago tia, the fare J ell
luncheon was given. There were six guests
and six young hostesses on this last oeca-
sion. The luncheon was given at Mss
Susie McLester's, and the other memoirs
of the club present were Mss Grace Har-
die, Miss Alice Graham, Miss Clarine Buell..
Miss Florence Ballard and Mis- Myrtle
Morris. The guests were Miss ICY
Dryer, Miss Ala King Miss Annie Earle,
Miss Louise Walker Miss Kirk Ware and
Miss Luetta Gregg.
The colors of the luncheon were green
and white. and in TIE center of the table
block of ice was followed out and filled
with grapes The bonbons and ices were
green and the place cards were water
colors, which were done by Miss Dora Nc
Lester. The cards for the hostesses repre-
sented little cooks in cap and aprons in
various attitudes. The luncheon was serv-
ed in eight courses and was prepared en-
tirely by the members of the Cooking
club who. through the summer days have
become authorities on culinary matters.

The New Dances for
The Coming Winter

An authority on dancing told me the past
week that several new dances notable for
their grace and beauty will be introduced
this season. This movement was decided
on at the convention of professors of dane
ing of the United States and Canada.
Among the new dances are the Cuban
waltz, Gavatte pompadour, the imperial,
the Netherland, the Verona minute, the
rosalie dances, the American minute, 1900
two. step, western normal Newport. Many
new figures for the german and cotilions
will be danced By society this winter In
speaking of the new waltz position he said
that the new position of the round dance
was experimental upon at all the fashion
able resorts during the summer and only
waited for the professors of dancing to
accept 1t at their convention, which
done in New York. The outcome of this
new fashion as to popularity is yet to be
tested, although it is the general opinion
that it will be the thing this winter and
Birmingham will be one of the first cities
to adopt its method.
The Cuban waltz is thus described: The
pen cannot do justice to the spirit of the
Cuban dance in its home setting of weird
music, of marble halls and graceful bal

sudden whrling In one spot like a spinaing
top, in which the dancer swings his part
ner around until she IS dizzy. 1t IS a very
funny sight TO watch couple of dignifled
dancers suddenly drop Into this pirouette,
which lasts for several seconds. 1t Is con-
sidered the height of cleyerness to pirouette

ban dancers are Very accomplished in this
respect.
The Cuban dance. introduced into the
American ballroom. Is bound to meet with
tremendous favor for already it has found
a number of enthusiastic adherents who
are ardent in their praises of It.
The Americans in Cuba, especially In
Santiago, Matanzas and Havana, where
much entertaining Is constantly to be met
with, have adopted the dance with great
gee and prefer 1t infinitely to any north
ern dance. It may be that 1t has become
popular because the Cuban girls dance 1t
so we'll and are not very traetaIble so far
as the American waltz and two-step are
concerned. and Americans themselves have
learned its simple, languid movements
quite readily. =,

''danza' is a picture. The dance itself is
very simple The waltz position is taken.
The movement is kind of two-step danced
to waltz music. The accompanying music
Is played very slowly and 1t is difficult for
northerners who are accustomed to rather
quick dancing to fall into the regular quiet
rhythm and to catch the real spirit of most
graceful dance.
But when the inspiration of the move
ment comes 1t dawns at once like queer
awakening and the beauty of its steps is
at once appreciated Being very slow
waltz it never tires and may be danced in
terminably without fatigue. This of course
is the result of the place of its birth, where
all things are done languidly American
society will undoubtedly dance the Cuban
waltz in simplified fashion-that is 1t VIII

will not change position. In Havana 1t Is

tain Vecplanck made a wager that he would steal the sentinel at West Point When off West Point he ordered his gig to be lowered and a barrel of flour placed in her. He sculled for the shore and was promptly challenged by the sentinel. The captain told him that he had a barrel of four for one Of the off cers of the garrison, and wanted to land it. The soldier consented, and the ca ptain proceeded to make fruitless at tempts to get it out of the bout, and at last succeeded in inducing the sen- tinel to help him. The soldier laid down his musket and jumped into the boat.
 The captain, who was a powerful man, at once showed off his boat and rowed for the sloCp. He had succeeded in capturing his sentinel, and the fel- low was taken aboard the sloop. Fear ing to return to West Point, he became ore of the crew.

DREDGING FOR GOLD.

During the past few years gold min ing by means of dredges has become very popular. Perhaps in all there are not more than fifty dredges in opera tion during the past year. The most successful operations have been car ried on here in Montana, that at Ban mack on Grasshopper creek, where from three to five millions of dollars have been taken out during the past two years. On the Snake river in Idaho and Oregon several of these plants are at work, but so far the re- suits have net fully demonstrated their value. Several are at work on the Yuba river in California, as also on the Chestatee in Georgia The mos. extensive and successful of this kind of mining for gold has been carried on for years in New Zealand. There are many localities in Montana that could be proftably worked by modern machin- cry and no doubt the great success at tained at Bannack will soon attract the attention of men interested in this class of mining to take hold of them.- Western Mining World.
