HOLIDAY DANCES

During the holidays the principal
form of entertainment was dancing.
Quite the incest of all the dances was
the armory dance on the night of the
twenty third. Guttenberger's orches-
ira, from Macon, furnished the music.
The crowd danced at the armory Oh
Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Coun
try club Christmas afternoon and night
and at the armory again on Friday.
Wednesday night at the armory Gre
atore's band played. The musicians
were a little too artistic to keep the
perfect time required for tangoing.
Naturally, the Christmas Day dances
were a little more formal than the
pre-holiday dances.
The club, from one o'clyock on was
filed with interesting and interested
people, coming and going, mostly COM
ing. At four o'clocg the afternoon
dance began, with Lilly's orchestra
playing. Not only were the members
Of the younger set dancing, but also the
chaperones. Even those who had fore
sworn the light fantastic, tried it once
and succumbed to the charms of the
trot-not to mention the hesitation and
the fish-walk.
At six o'clock a Dutch supper Was
served, and at nine the evening dance
began and continued until one o'clock.
The chaperones included, Mr.. and
Mrs. Crawford Wheatley, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ike Kalmon, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Clegg,
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Dodson, Mr.. and
