Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-01-10


London and Paris ii has been the
rage for months What more delight
full than TO knock off work a little
early, Off you are of the nOn-labOr-
ing sex-to don a pretty frock and
devote the late afternoon to dancing
stopping occasionally for a comfort
able cup of tea, a sandwich or a bit
OF cake. The the dansante" (pro-
nounced "tay dansante"), though still
an innovation n Honolulu, has be-
come the only thing to give in the
States. Gone is the headachy card
party, the InGigestible luncheon, the
formal reception-gone, or passe',
which is the same thing. Every one
Is mad about dancing. To be in style
one must know them all-the tango,
the New York one step, the hesita-
ton waltz the one step waltz, and
all the others with their dips and
turns and numerous fascinating va
riations. And the most delightful
way to learn all of these new dances
Is at the .dansante-it is fashions lat
est and most enchanting within. In
San Francisco they are held every
place, but the most popular ones are
those given at the St. Francis and
Palace hotels. These are pay Affairs
but for a. that, one must be invited
They are held under the auspices of
the most prominent society women
OF San Francisco and are personally
managed. the former by Mr.. and Mrs.
Douglas Crane and the latter by Miss
Marion White, who will. he fehiems
bered by many Honolulans from her
visit here last summer. They occur
once week from until Z, and after
one has been invited and has paid
one's fee for the season and received
card for presentation at the door,
one can enjoy the privilege OF
learning and practising the new
RANGES, which are creating such
furore all over the world. The af-
fairs are really as exclusive as any
society event, and ever so delightful. /
So much for explaining what they
are. The joyous tidings are these

San Francisco win besiintrodu ced In |
Honolulu. Mrs. Mary Gum has the
plan we'll under way. She has writ !
ten to Miss White for details, Hp0n
the receipt of which she will inaugu-
rate her own series OF dansantes.
They will be held at some local hotel
most probably the Young--from 4
10 $50. Mrs Gum is making up
her list Of patronesses nova list TO
include some OF cur most prominent
society leaders. All the new dances,
or rather the popular ones that are
feasible in the ball room and are not
too complicated, will be introduced.
Honolulu may then trip the light fan
fastic along with the rest of the mad,
merry world--or rather may dip and
Glide and onestep IL as the dansantes

already in the "thets dansanies"
gives promise of growing TO the same
Intense enlnusiasm evinced on the
mainland, only the spark Of an actu-
N experience or two being needed to
start the craze. II BODIES well for
their success that the girls are
charmed with the idea. 1t Is only
necessary to get the girls started,
