HE dancing season is reviving in
a remarkable way. say the social
prophets, who point to this fact
as verifying their prediction of an early
return of gayety in town, and they are
seeking to convince the skeptics who
are lettering in the country at this late
date.
The two dances on the calendar in
cluded that of last evening at the OFF,
GERS club at the Preside, which was a
special welcome to the officers Of the
Thirtieth infantry and their wives.
The other dance in prospect is to be
given next Friday evening at the La
gunitas club, when Mrs. James A. Cof-
fin will preside as hostess! The COM
plimented guests will be her daughters,
Miss Natalie and Miss Sara Coffin, and
while the guests will be mostly from
town there will be many others from
the contingent that has passed the sea-
son at Ross and has had such good
times this summer at informal dancing
parties.
While it is not certain that these
dances indicate an early season, they
are delightful events of the late sum-
mer and notable on that account alone.
The week in town will be made glad
in social way by the Bohemian club
concert next Thursday afternoon, and
there is more than ordinary anticipa-
ton over this event, as the music writ
ten by Wallace Sabin is considered ex-
ceptionally clever. and the members of
the club are confident that the concert
will be well worth the eager anticipa-
tion of society folk who will attend.
| The club affairs are always successful
so that there is an added interest in the
day.
There will be number of affairs out
of the city that will lure folk from
here. including the golf tournament al
