The popularity of the weekly dinner
dances at the Army and Navy Club, by
the way. has increased to such an eX-
tent that tables have to be reserved
for five or six weeks ahead. Every
Thursday night finds the large dining
room crowded to its full capacity with
interesting folk, and often the smaller
one, usually reserved for the ladies, on
the floor above.
A prominent woman whose husband
was ordered here very recently. invited
a large number of guests to dine with
here at the club a short time ago. Not
knowing of the demand for tables there,
she strolled into the club at noon of the
day Of the party to find that they had
all been reserved for a month or more.
So she had to postpone her party to a
much later date.
The fortnightly Tuesday evening din
ner dances at the University Club have
also come to be a very delightful In
stitution. The floor is excellent, the
music wonderful. and an added charm
to one who Is willing to admit that she
has not a soul entirely above FOOD Is
that the dinner Is always good. Last
week there was jolly crowd OF merry
makers in spite of the fact that there
were numerous rival entertainments

meeting of the Tuesday Evening Dan
