The church dinner in the church par

pers serve to keep our people in better

The following clipping from the Green.
field Recorder refers to Florence Horsford
who taught dancing class here last win
fer and who NAV be here again this win
ter. Miss Horsford's dancing classes are
becoming quite popular and deservedly
SO for no one of our young women is
better fitted, l think, to give such les
sons. While the classes themselves, |
understand, are well attended, many avail
themselves later in the evening of the
privilege of joining the dances, some 60
ing in couples, others in parties of four
and six. 1t always seems to me that it
must take courage to start a class of any
kind in ones own town and we may be
Justly proud of anyone who has such cour-
age and succeeds.
