Things are Done With a Diff
ference at the Dance Civ
en- by the Bnai Zedek
Congregation.
QUIET COLORS PREDOMINANT
Pastel Shades Give Gray Glory to
Annual Classic - Music, too, is
Distinctive - Supper Served in
Pompeian Room.

AS a rule one dance is very much
like every other dancea jazzy jum-
BILE Of light and shade, iris coloring,
mirth, merriment, and music-but the
Bnai Zedek Ball given at the Elks
Home on Tuesday evening insisted on
being different and accordingly became
one of the real whizz-bangs" of the
current social season.
The outstanding novelty Of The dance
was it's exotic coloring. The usual
''rainbow hues violet, indigo, blue,
green, yellow, orange, and red-were
conspicuous for their absence. They
were succeeded by orchid lavender, I'LL
tramarine, a pale emerald, canary,
coral, magenta, and, over all, the gray
glory of the Elks Home broken at in
tervals by hangings in lilac-lavender
and rose There was simmer great
deal of it-but it was a new simmer,
made quietly beautiful by the prevail
ence OF pastel shades.
The gowns were equally distinctive.
Theda-Baric fantasies were superseded
by longer, fuffier, creations in dainty,
delicate, colorings and quiet trimmings
of silver, jet, and pearl. Conspicuous
among them were a pale rose frock with
overdrape of black embroidered net, q
family green affair spangled with sill
yer, and more striking garb in blue
and gray with girdle of Liberty red.
The music for the dance was furnish
ed by Johnson's Jazz Orchestra, which
is rapidly becoming more and more
popular in Kenosha. Tt, too, was diff
ferent. Melodies, prevailingly dreamy
and classical, drifted at times-imper-
ceptibly, hauntingly-into erotic strains
vaguely suggestive of Cleopatra orgies
or even the streets of Cairo. Especial
ly popular among the offerings of the
orchestra were an adaptation of Cad
man 8 :" At Dawning,'' 90 Sole Mic, y
and johnson Jazz" new and
"tintinabulating" one-step composed
by Fred Johnson.
At midnight the jewellers left the
lodge-room via "the fligree stairway
for the Pompeian room on the first floor
where an ultra luncheon was served.
The difference here lay in small tables
richly appointed and tempting with
unusually large servings of dance
fare novelties.
Thereafter-despite the curfew ordi-
nanee-the "dawncing" went merrily
on until long after the usual "wee
small hours of the early morning"
The committees, appointed by the
Bnai Zedek Congregation, which were
entirely responsible for the success of
