'DANSANT
Smart Set Delighted by Novel
Function: Partners PIenti-
full for Pretty Dancers

Something new in the social world
has dawned in San Francisco. and
promises to be one of the delights of
the smart set for the winter season.
The The Dansant." as introduced
at the St Francis hotel by Mr.. and
Mrs Douglas Crane yesterday after
noon. had every hallmark OF success.
To begin with it was the freest sort of
a prophecy that there would be no men
there-or at best merely enough to
prove an aggravation to the wouldbe
dancing women. Consequently every
one announced that it would be quite
the correct thing for the women to
dance together.
The men. however. came. Not ia
pitiful, lonely little twos and threes.
lost in horde of smartly gowned
womankind Most certainly not.
PLENTY OF PARTNERS
No one that knew any one had to
sit out her dances because Of a lack
of partners.
Nor could the affair be said to
lack the presence OF the smart set.
Burlingame. san Mateo. Menlo. and
Himsborough sent of their bravest
and best san Franciscv's most ex-
elusive debutantes. dowagers and
dancing men turned up. Piedmont
contributed the flower of it's hillside
aristocracy.
AS a final word of its success, it
may be said that people were turned
away from the affair by the score.
It was strictly invitational. There
were lists, and yet again lists.
The new dances are such marvels
in the way OF manifestation of tenn
perament At first there was faint
hesitation on the part of the tea
drinkers to plunge gayly into the
dance.
Mr.. and Mrs Crane did their charm
ing, graceful exhibition dancing,
castle walking. onestepping. tangoing
and all the rest. and finally induced
the shy spectators TO go "on with the
dance
There We're charming gowns in evi-

roster next season, Peoria, Ill. Daven-

directors on these three cities, and John
Holland, owner of the local franchise, is
out in revolt against President Norris L.

tanned.
The local club is one of the best
money-makers in the Western League,
and President Holland insists that three
stronger cities be taken into the league
circuit. He says he will rot stand for be-
ing hooked up with such poor towns. A
strong movement is under way to read
