SEMINARY GIRLS
SHOCKBEAGHGROWD
Society Bellies Cause CommotiOn at
Chesapeake Beach by Dane
ing Turkey Trot."

A bevy Of vivacious young Washington
society seminary bellies, accompanied by
students from several Of the local unl-
versities and half a dozen cadets from
the Naval Academy, properly chaperoned,
attempted something out Of the conven-
tional yesterday at the opening Of the
season at Chesapeake Beach that for a
time created q little sensation.
The party OF young folks left Wash
ington yesterday morning on the early
train for the beach. They were the life
Of the train and made the weIlSin ring
with topical and college songs. Arriving
at the beach, the party headed for the
dancing pavilion, where the orchestra
was in action.
After dancing several sets In accord
ance with the conventionalities, as II by
prearranged scheme, while the chaperons
were OF guard, more than a dozen
couples Of the party left their seats and,
taking positions on the waxed floor, be-
gan attempts at the turkey trot."

forms Of tabooed dances.
Supt. ]. z Donald, of the amusement
department Of the Chesapeake Beach
Railway, which owns the pavilion, was
not far away when the fun started. The
ludicrous attempts Of the girls and their
partners to dance the newfangled steps
brought forth laughter and applause from
the large crowd at the pavilion. Supt
Donald heard the commOtion, and reach
ing the pavilion signaled the orchestra
to stop playing and asked the young
ladies' TO desist. explaining that the man
agement purposed to conduct the dancing
pavilion in accordance with the best
lsages Of society. The girls consented to
''be good and the music proceeded. and
the approved waltzes and twosteps were
observed the balance Of the day.
When the news that a party Of semi
nary girls were dancing the much
taIked-of freak steps reached the chowds
at the Casino, hotels, and along the
beach, there was a stampede OF the curl
Gus. men and women Of all ages rushing
to the dancing pavilion to see the sights.
But they were too late The incident
was the general topic Of conversation
the remainder OF the afternoon. and
much curiosity was shown as to the
identity of those who participated in
the dances.
