Social Notes

The ack of social activity is notice
able In Fargo s~ociety-not alone be-
cause it is Lent, but partly because of
the fact that SO many of those socially
inclined are spending the months OF
early spring In the sunny south or en-
Joying the breezes of the Pacific coast.
Fargo has a large population who mi
CRATE early each year to warmer eli
mates for q few months and this year
the list OF stay-at-homes ts mailer
than ever Social events al the winter
resorts are interesting to the home
folk and just at present the turkey
t~rotters at Palm Beach are creating a
great deal of gossip. The status of the
turkey trot as it concerns society at
Palm Beach seems at last to ave been
fiXed Last winter it CURED largely
in talk, but this season the resort has
been agog with it for a month and now
at any hour of the day or night, peo-
pie are dancing it anywhere they hap
pen to be, provided hey want to, out
doors or indoors and with or without
music other than a whistling duet. 1t
Is the greatest promoter of sociability,
1t Is said, that ever struck the resort
The point to which the trot must go
was agreed upon one day before a large
crowd in front of the Casino when one
of the leading young men appeared
with his valet Juggling a monograph.
A crowd of young people gathered i'm

the turkey trot on the hard sand of
the waters edge. Just as the music
started and the dance was about to
commence, one matron stepped forward
and forbade her two charming daugh-
ters to take part in the dance. AS they
withdrew another well known lady
took the stand and announced in no
uncertain tones her idea tina turkey
carrying things too far, The young
people scattered, much to the d1sap-
potntment of a squad of camera men.

Would-be, trotters with an entertain
ment which was perfect in every detail.
She gave the party for her daughter,
a leader in the best set, and invited
forty guests. At sunset they boarded
| the family household and danced on
the top deck, where jubilee players
followed, The houseboat is one of the
most luxuriantly furnished on the
| beach and was decorated handsomely
/ with cut flowers. After a short time
spent a-trotting dinner was served on
deck for a couple of. hours. By this
/ time a point several miles from Palm
Beach was reached, where erected on
pilings in the lake Is a quaint and
roof dancing was resumed until mid
night, when supper was served and a
long starlight sail home made a per-
feet ending to a glorious evening.
