MARRIED LADIES DANCE

On Tuesday evening the Married
Ladies Club, composed of wives OF
members of the local order of Elks,
gave their second formal dance at
the palatial Elks Home, on Washing
ton Avenue and Market Street, hav.
ing a large number of the dancing
young ladies and gentlemen to share
with them the pleasure of the even
ing.
The members of this club, who have
always been the recipients of great
social attention by the younger social
circles, in a desire to reciprocate the
favors so graciously showered upon
them, organized their club to give a
series of dances in return, their first
lovely affair occurring on Tuesday
evening of last week.
The chaperones at all of the club
dances given in our fair city have
been a source of keen pleasure; and
at the dances were the recipients of
so many f~avors, that is was difficult
for the visitor to differetiate them
from the younger guests. And
among their numbers are some
divine dancers, whose interpretations
of the improved terphiscorean art
are almost Incompatible. So our
married ladies have not only added
unmistakable pleasure to the dances,
but to them there will always remain
a partially unreciprocated social in
debtedness.
On Tuesday evening, their dance
vas pronounced as an %all-that's-
lovely affair. About thirty or forty
couples graced the floor, enjoying
the splendid music rendered by the
Majestic Orchestra; and these clever
musicians seemed to feel the reign
of delicious pleasure, their efforts
being appreciated to the extent that
in the future their services will almost
be invaluable at our local dances.
Dancing began promptly at nine
thirty o'clock, and continued until
one o'clock. The weather was most
propitious for enjoyable dancing;
and the ideal floor, splendid music,
and wonderful dancers formed a
masse conspiracy in making the even
ing n of the most pleasant of the
affairs given in this city for some
time. And they all danced well;
with emphasis, and also with good
sense-a thing in footing indispen-
sable. The dancing was notably
without theatrical pretence, not 'slike
the ballet master and pupil in the
van of we'll drilled nymphs', but like
ladies and gentlemen. Our dancing
circles number many lovely
dancers; especially among the fair
SEX, who, when their delicate feet, in
the dance twinkle around, their steps
seem light, and their home in the air,
and they seem to only par complai-
sance touch the ground; and when
they dance you wish them a wave
over the sea, that they might ever do
nothing but that.
