MO matter what the inspiration,
nv dancing continues more popular
than ever. In tho larger cities
they are dancing for charity, local poor
and the suffering Belgians profiting
thereby. Nothing Of this nature, how
ever, has been done SO far in Salem, but
there have been dances aplenty, more,
10 be exact, than during any previous
season, the younger set and many Of
the more staid element participating in
that particular diversion as often as
there is the slightest possible excuse for
SO doing
Tomorrow night large number OF
society folk win make merry at the
dancing party to be given by the Lad
les Dancing club in Moose hall. 1t
was planned originally as a mask party,
but owing to the large number Of out
of-town visitors who will attend, this
plan was changed and the dance will
conform to those which have already
been given.
Members Of the legislative boly and
many Of their wives who are visiting in
the city will be included in the invita-
tional list, and the affair, which is the
third to be given by this club this sea-
son, promises to be most delightful.
TO learn the modern steps a class Of
eight well-known society women arc
having frequent gatherings at their
homes under the tutorship of Miss Gren-
niger, of the Christensen academy of
Portland. One lesson a week has been
given thus far, and II is understood
shat Miss Greninger is organizing other
classes in the city.
February elghts is the date for tho
next dancing party to be given by the
Monday Night Informal club in Moose
hall. Thirty-five couples complete the
membership Of this club, the most re.
cent party occurring last week, being
attended by thirty-two couples. This
series has been particularly enjoyable
and will be completed with three more
dances.
The younger folk have several little
dancing clubs meeting regularly for
pleasant sessions properly chaperoned,
and now comes the pleasing intelligence
that there is to be new intruetion
class, composed of members Of the
younger set, in which the services of
a former popular instructor will be
had.
