Under Auspices Of Annapolis
Outing Club.

About three hundred persons in
dulged in the light fantastic, and quite
as many looked on from seats in the
balcony or about the floor, at the
dance given in the State Armory last
night under the auspices of the Anna
polls Outing Club. The dance was ar
ranged as benefit for the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital. 1t was sue
cess in every way, and snug sum
was realized and will be turned over
to the Board of Managers of the insti-
tuition.
The dancing began at o'clock, and
continued until after midnight. Music
was furnished by an orchestra OF
eight pieces under the direction OF
Prof. Henning. Many of the soldiers
'who are here engaging in target prac-
tice over the Naval Academy ranges
attended the affair and all hands
seemed to have very pleasant time
and. of course, made many acquaint-
ances among the young ladies of the
city.
The armory was elaborately deco
rated with National flags, banners and
ensigns of the various nations A fea-
ture of the program was an imitation
OF the Hawaiian dance by a little five
year-old girl, Doris Weaver. daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Edward Weaver Dis
playing remarkable grace of move
ment, tripped about the floor to the
strains of that lively piece "Over
There"
The little girl was attired in imita-
tion of the costume worn by the
Hawaiian. She was given a tremend-
GUS ovation and was compelled to re-
spond to an encore.
During the evening supper and re-
freshments were served in the base
ment of the building. This was un-
der the direction of ladies of the Red
Cross Society, who also realized a neat
sum.
The committee that arranged for the
dance was composed of B. f. Graham,
chairman; r. H. Saffield, Charles
Cook. and George McNew. assistant
chairman, with James Z. Carr as mas
ter OF ceremonies
