drens' party given on Friday even
ing as the closing feature of Miss
nellie Harris dancing school. The
party was given in Woodman hall
and from the first correct stiff little
bow which the boys made to their
small partners, to the grand march
at the close, every number merited
the enthusiastic applause which it re-
ceived
At the close Of the grand march
Mrs. Frank M. Jones and Mrs. e.
Ross Baker gave the favors which
were green balloons. The men and
women along the sides Of the hall
threw long streamers of red and
green and pink and white which
caught on wires above the little folks
about them as they marched. making
a very gay and happy scene.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of Miss Harris method Of teaching
and Of the results she gets in fin
ished, graceful dancing and in the
correct department she teaches.
Every child who appeared on the
floor deserves mention, because there
were none who failed to dance with
grace and in correct time. The tiniest
girl in the class is little Doris Schou-
ten who danced CoQuette with ex-
quisite lightness and grace. She did
not miss one step Of that long and
intricate dance and the greatest
charm of all was her unconscious
baby manner.
The costumes worn by the pupils
in the various dances all added much
to the effect. The following is the
