Mrs. Troth's dancing class will hold Its
initial meeting OF the season tonight In
the ballroom OF the Germantown Cricket
Club. Now every one knows what this
class In. Indeed, in the days OF the Mon
day Evening many n bud was heard to
say she had much rather subscribe to
Mrs. Troth's because II was such fun
So ~debutantes and second-year and even
flve.year girls will turn out in fun togs
for one of the best dancing classes of the
season tonight which is chaperoned by
Mrs. Edward Troth. Teddy Troth's
mother, you know.
The Junior bail, that annual affair OF
the year at the University, causes some
little stir of excitement In the younger
set. Members OF the class have beon gall
livantlng about the streets since Monday
with small red and blue feathers adorning
their hats. thereby reminding admirins
friends that they are juniors and have
only one year to wait, for the title Of
senior and graduate.
The decorations are to be n surprise,
so one grows slightly curious on the sub
ject: not that decorations make much
difference. so long as the floor is smooth
and the music fine. That's all the young
things ask, and you'll grant me it's not
much, is It?
The enterprislng juniors have annexed
about every name OF Importance In the
social register for patronesses, and 1t GER
tainly will not be their fault II the dance
is not its usual success.
One OF the most picturesque groups in
the Charity Ball opening feature will be
that in charge OF Mrs. John Kearsley
Mitchell, Sd, which is to represent the
University Hospital one of the five bene.
ficiaries OF the ball II seems probable
that the Court of Old King Cole will be
the most spectacular opening feature ever
devised in the long succession of thirty
six balls in past years. Only n week re.
mains before December for tho final
polishing of Of the dancers; but they have
been thoroughly trained in frequent re-
hearsals for weeks past by the grcat
local impresario, Charlie Morgan. and a
finished production is certain.
Many of the recognized best dancers In
the social set are included in the Uni.
versity group, which will represent Treas.
ure Island. The girls will be dressed as
paquitas and the men as Captain Kidds.
The costumes are gayly colored and this
should be one of the best scenes In the
pageant
