applauded, and she and her sister Charlotte,
aged seven years. dance in Dutch cos
tunes and wooden shoes which delighted every
one. They responded to an encore and
at its close each was presented with bou-

Odiorne did very graceful dance in Greek
costume and with Miss Virginia did a costume
Hungarian dance which was very effective.
Then came a surprise, the introduction Of
"Mr and Mrs. Leonard of Newport, R. l., an

some acrobatic stunts which shocked many of
the onlookers and when the "lady" finally lit a
cigarette on the floor It was viewed with
dismay, until she took off her wig and

joyable social affairs of the season and will
long be remembered. The affair was managed
by Mr.. Charles Bradbury and was success in
