helm Cricket Club

Mrs George Brooke's Mannheim Evening
Dancing Glass will hold its Christmas cotll-
lon this evening in the ballroom Of the
Mannheim Cricket Club. 4 number OF the
members who are home from boarding
school for the Christmas holidays will be
there, and several dinners will be given
before the dance. This is an unusually
lucky class, for, in spite of the fact that
many of the hoys have gone into training
camps or in other branches of the service
there are still enough to 10 around. and a
few "stags' left over to "cut in" Mrs.
Brooke always arranges for at least ten
more boys than girls to be present at her
dances, so it is never necessary for the girls
70 dance together or TO hold little pink teas
in the dressing room.
The Committee Dancing Glass has been
postponed until after the war, on account
Of so many men being away--most of them
having been members of Mrs Brool,c's
classes for twelve and thirteen year4
great many OF these members are hora
furloughs, however. and will attcaG
dance tonight.
