Paisade Triangle Club
Blows OFF The Lid
At Successful Dance

The Triangle Club, of Palisade,
blew off the lid Friday evening, April
9th, as had been predicted. Fore
warned is forearmed, and as it had
been we'll advertised, a large number
of people were in attendance In fact,
the crowd was just about the right
size for the floor. 1t was a jovial
lot of young people and young old
people that gathered at the Palisade
school house to help make the clubs
first dance success.
That it was great success no one
will gainsay. In the first place, the
hall was most tastefully decorated
with American flags, red, white, and
blue bunting, and large blue banner
bearing the word 'Triangles" in white
letters, which held the place of honor
among the decorations. In the second
place, the greatest dancing treat that
Palisade has ever witnessed came in
the person of Miss Edna George, Miss
Crudup Vesey, and Mr.. Jocelyn Glib
bons. In the third place, the music
was all that could be desired and the
crowd entered right into the spirit
OF the occasion.
Miss George and Mr.. Gibbons gave
Palisade its first glimpse of the latest
dance, The Globe Trot." Miss Vesey,
who gave southern folksong recital
at the Union Church of Palisade two
years ago, wrote the music for this
dance, and it was through her that
the cub was able to secure the serv-
ices of Miss George and Mr.. Gibbons
The Globe Trot, originated by Mr..
thomas Allen Rector, OF New York,
consists primarily of the primitive
dance steps OF TOUR nations, namely,
the Hungarian Polka, the Spanish
Draw, the Chinese Waddle, and the
Japanese Toddle. 1t is one of the
introduced, and the audience was held
in GREATNESS silence as Miss George
and Mr.. Gibbons flew over the floor,
The dance was first given as an ex-
hibition dance and then as it is danced
in the ballroom. Later on in the even
ing, the couple favored the people
with beautiful exhibition waltz.
Altogether, the Triangle dance was
one which will be long remembered
in Palisades history. One of the
ladies of the town said that she had
been attending dances all around this
section of the country since she has
been living in Palisade, and that she
had never before seen SO many pretty
girls at one dance. This speaks pretty
well for the judgment of the Triangle
boys.
