weekly series OF INFORMAL evenings VI
dancing, the dance recital given by
Professor and Mrs. Montrose Ringler
Thursday night at the Moose hall, was
one of the most novel and delightful af-
fairs Of the early season. Before an
audience of about seyenty-five guests,
Professor and Mrs. Ringler demon
strated and gave instruction in the lat
est steps, most popular of which were:
National Fox Trot and The Ringler
Two Step. A universal aptitude in the
graceful requirement of the new glides,
trots and intricate steps, was manifest
ed in the brief instruction period given
on Thursday night. So generally pop
ular were these ultra-modern dances,
and so enjoyable the entire recital, fol
lowed by several hours of social dane
ing, that under pressure of scores of
urgent requests for further instruction,
Professor Ringler has decided to con-
duet weekly classes throughout the win
ter. Professor Ringler, who is mem
ber of the National Dancing Master s
association, 10 emineltly qualified to
intro luce the latest word in dance steps
into Salem society. And under his eff
ficient supervision it may easily be
prophesied that the present wave of en-
tnusiasm will carry the dance lovers
of the city into an easy grace and
facility, that will vie with the dancing
circles of any. city however large. 9th
err steps Professor Ringler will feature
are the 1915 One Step, the Canter
Walk, the Hesitation Canter, and the
