Fully Twenty-Five Couples in Fancy
Dress.


past seven winters has conducted q
dancing school in our city, gave his
farewell dance to his class last Friday
night at the armOry.
Mr.. NOrthcutt's classes are always
large and successful and his closing
dance is always looked forward to
with great eagerness. This dance out
did ali of his former efforts in beauty
as well as in financial way.
The armory was very beautifully
decorated. The stage on which the
fancy dances took place looked espe-
cially pretty and attractive.
the hall was literally packed with
spectators; indeed, the crowd was so
large that there was little Ispace left
for dancing.
The Ocala House Orchestra fur
nished the music.
At $50 o'clock the march was be-
gun, led 10y Phil Robinson and Edna
CulverhOuse. There were twenty-five
couples OF little folks, and some older
ones, dressed in all sorts and descrip-
tons of fancy costumes. Each and
every one looked we'll and deserves
special notice, but space forbids.
The first on the program after the
march was song and character
dance, "Just Because She Made Them
Goo Goo Eyes" by Edna Culver
house, who is one of the prettiest lit
tie fancy dancers in the city. She
also danced most gracefully the Span
ish castanet dance.
The reception and cake walk to all
the nations by Uncle Sam was unique
and well rendered. Little Willie Bull
lock, as Uncle Sam, the master of GER
emonies, couldn't be beat.
The "Oriental Tea Party" with ma
tiOnal song of Japan, by about fifteen
little girls, was excellent.
The prettiest dance of the evening
was the Parissian skirt dance by Hope
Robinson, Sara Davis and Edna Gull
verhOuse, dressed respectively in love
~ costumes of white, yellow and red
tissue paper. These three dainty little
misses are very clever and graceful
dancers and are always admired.
1.-The Midsummer Nights Dream"
or dance of the fairies, 10y seven little
girls in white gauze dresses with silver
spangles, was exceptionally pretty
and made one think they had been
transported to fairyland.
The most mirth-producing dance
was the one entitled Looking Back.
ward" by eight girls. They were
dressed as Irish servants, had false
faces on the back of their heads, tied
on with bandanna handkerchiefs.
Their hair was cOmbed down over
their faces, and in this way appeared
to be dancing backward. The dane
ers, 10y their queer antics, created lots
of fun and storm eff applause.
"Snap Shots from Buffalo Bili's
Wild West Show" was considered
one of the very best numbers. AT
the back of the stage were two Indian
wigwams, and in the background
camp fire was burning. The lights in
the hall were turned out for this
dance. Marion Galloway and Sara
Davis dressed as squaws, and Philip
and Ralph Robinson, Morris Smith,
John Pelot, Brantley Weathers and
Louis Chazal, in the dress of Indian
braves, danced an Indian war dance.
The fires burning in the background
gave a very weird aspect to this dance.
The first part of the program closed
with the Alabama cake walk, and af-
ter short intermissiOn twelve dances
were played in which the spectators
were allowed To participate.
1t was almost two O'Clock when
"Home, Sweet Home" was played
and the fancy dress ball was only a
! Ieasant memory.
Mr.. NOrthcutt left Monday after
noon for Gainesville where he will
teach a class for the next two months.
