NEXT EVENT IS
 B|C DANCE OF
 PIONEER WOMEN


 thing of the past for this year, the amusement loving public of Fair banks and vicinity has already begun 10 look forward to the next big so- ciaI event of the season. It is the big dance of the local Igloo of Pio- neer Women, which will appropriate ly celebrate Washington's birthday. and which will therefore be held on the evening of February % at the Auditorium.
 All of the plans for tbe hig dance have not yet been formulated, but l arrangements for it are going for ward rapidly. and now that the chari- ty social is over with the members of the IgIoo. who contributed largely to the success scored by that af- air, will be able to turn all of their attention toward the coming event. The plans include, as nearly as can be learned, the establishing of precedent which will be without aqual to the dance loving public and one which will be consistently fol lowed in future years. For this is the first of what will be annual dances of the local Igloo of Pioneer Women. The idea is to commence rate the anniversary of the organi- zaJion of the Igloo, which was form ed on February 19 1916. and which is therefore one year old at the pres ent time. The date was advanced to the 22nd on this occasion to get as far away as possible from the charity social.
 Learning of the plans of the Pio- noer Women, the executive board of the Panama club gallantly changed the date of their dance. It had been set for February 16. but fear ing that the dates might conflict to a certain extent. it was decided to postpone the club dance until a date to be announced later.
 The coming dance of the Pioneer Women will be strictly sourdough affair in every respect. It was at first decided that white collars would not be allowed on the floor and that everyone had to dress in cloth ing such as was worn by the sour doughs of the country in early days, but, on account of the fact that ar aumcnt5 were presented showing that Fairbanks is up-to-date in every re spect in this day and age, it was decided to forego that one feature. l Consequently every body will be al lowed to attend the dance dressed as they please, although it will un- doubtedy be marked by an infor- maIity which will send it down in the history of Fairbanks social af- fairs as one of the most cosmopoli- tan social events of it's kind ever held here.
 Further plans for the dance will be announced in the very near flu ture. The committees already named are as follows;
 
 Walter Gould, Mrs. E. II. Stroecker, Mrs R. B. Carter, Mrs. Etheal Hayes, Mrs. Fred Martin, Miss Queenie Rus sell.
