The Tango Tea.


Keokuk had its first taste OF
tango tea yesterday afternoon in the
ball room of the Elks club. Judging
from the energetic way in which
everybody entered into the spirit OF
the affair, Keokuk is a convert to
this popular form of amusement and
entertainment which is sweeping the
staid east. To the strains OF the
'raggy music" fifty or more couple
whirled, swayed, dipped and hesitated
across the big ball room Of the pala-
tial club A large gallery Of admir-
ing and applauding people watched
dancers from their places at the sides
of the big room.
AT one corner of the ball room the
tea table was placed. In its center
bloomed a miniature Christmas tree,
and the table was prettily decorated
/ in evergreens and holly and with thc
Christmas colors of red and green
| Presiding at the table during the aft
erncon were Mrs. John N. Hueston
and Mrs A. Weber The entire affair
was in charge Of committees of which
Mrs. Hueston was chairman. Thu
dance was under the direction of Miss
/ Maude Marshall.
