music for the party will be furnished
by what Is known among the smart
people down east as a European or
chestra.' The society people, In g
search for something new In the nelo
of party giving, have found that tho
most pleasing music for the new
dances is that of the strings and pipes,
without the horns and drums, and the
idea. being perhaps an imported one,
has found acceptance in New York
and is considered ultra-smart as the
music for the popular steps OF the day.

the old ones, or they may be larger.

mated, the music is thought to be less
martial and more enticing for the new
steps of greater intricacy.
