A UNIQUE GERMAN.
An invitation german at The Carolina
Friday evening, proved to be one of the
most delightful of the informal social
events of the season, in spite of the fact
that the arrangements were completed in
the space of a few hours. Thirteen
couples took part, all guests of The Caro-
lima, and a series of amusing and pretty
figures was successfully carried out, un-
der the leadership of Mr.. and Mrs. Sydney
l.. Smith, of New York city. Dancing be-
gan at nine and ceased at eleven. Many
exquisite gowns were seen upon the floor
and a company which taxed the seating
capacity of the hall, witnessed the dane
! ing.
Two of the most amusing features were
the bottle and potato figures. In the first
six men were given empty ginger ale
bottles which they were expected to take
to the end of the hall and stand upright,
then making a rush for the limited num-
Der of women at the head of the hall.
The men failing to secure a partner were
obliged to dance together.
In the potato figure six men were given
tablespoons with which to pick potatoes
from the floor and to carry them to the
women who stood waiting with dinner
plates. In this figure also provision was
made so that several men were left dis
consulate in the center of the floor at the
end of the trial
A pretty figure was a tally-ho in which
trios of men and women were driven
about the hall by bright ribbons, and thon
brought together in the center of the
hall where they danced with those stand
ing opposite them.
The participants were: Mr. and Mrs.
Sydney l.. Smith, New York city.
Mr. J. G. Thorpe Boston, and Mrs. st.
John Smith, Portland, Maine.
