ALEXANDRIA IERMAN CLUB.

ALEXANDRIA GERMAN CLUB.
Now that the Lsnten season Is on
hand and society supposed to desist from
dancing for the present, OF least, 1t may
not be Inappropriate to note what the
Alexsndris German Club has been do
Ing during the winter, This club bears
the same relationship to society in Alex
andria SIS does, for instance. the Bsche-
lors' German Club, Of Washington, and
the Bachelors CotilIion Club, of Bslti-
more, does to society Of those cities and
should be therefore iostered and en-
coursged by Alexsndrisns, as It's principal
social institution. Its dances are more
enjoyed By the young people OF both
sexes than any other series of entertain
menls that occur during the gay season.
Since Its organization, twenty-five or
thirty years sgo, 1t has had Its ups and
downs IS is the fate of sill similar organ
izaiIons -aOurishing at one time and
at smother apparently on the wsne. The
season just passed seems to have been
emineptly successfully while the mrm-
bership is not large consequently the
revenue ia comparatively small, still
by great good management on the part
OF the committee, many of whom, though
not dancing men themselves, give their
time and labor for the success of the
clab and the enjoyment Of others, aud
deserve the thanks of all concerned.
Four dances have been given so far, the
next one to come of on the 24ih of
April, snd Is usually called the Easter
German. A very large number Of stran-
gers have attended these dances this
winter coming from the large cities north
Of Alexsndlis as well as Ia Virginia.
Judge Louis o. Barley and Mr.. Harry
Beverly have led the germans for some
years, both gentlemen filling that diff
ficult and 1t might be said thsnkless
Office with ability and entire satisfaction
to all. Its duties are arduous, requiring
on the part of the leader 6rmness, tact
and experience which may be expressed
In what Lord Chesterfield would call
'Susviter In modo, fortiter In re-"
1t would be remiss not TO mention here
the lsdies' german given to the members
of tbs Alexandra Germsn Club on the
17th Of January, delightful affair, con-
Quoted 10 the best of good taste and
mari ed by the rOllicking fun that leap
year privileges allowed the young ladies.
Il is 10 be hoped that by the opening OF
the winter season the rsnks of the Alex
sndria German Club will be still further
augmented by additions to it's member
snip. whether they be disciples of 'Terp-
sichore" or not bu, for the pride of as
sisting in keeping the club in flourish
ing condition, If for no other reason.
