The HiggS Junior dancing class
closed the series of lessons with
cotillion at the Maple City club rooms
last Friday evening. The parents and
friends fthe pupils were invited in
To enjoy the evening, and the ease and
grace with which the young Terpsich-
iefc fl,n ;n+,
steps of the various dances was a re-
velation to the guests. In addition to
the regular cotillion Stunts, the
interpretive dancing of the little Miss
es, Edith Thayer, Katherine Maxwell
and Jean Warner were special feat
ures. These dances were executed with
the grace and precision of profession
ais, and words cannot portray their
excellence and beauty. At the close
of the dancing, the little folks enjoyed
ice cream and cake. Mr.. and Mrs.
Higgs are excellent instructors, and
have reason to feel proud of their
winters work among the little folks.
The election last Monday demon
franchised voters can be depended
upon to take an active interest in their
new duties. The result of the election
also shows that great majority of
women believe in affilliating with some
party, rather than to be considered as
Independent Voters. An immense
vote was polled all over the county,
the political ratio on the state ticket
being approximately three republican
to one democrat, while the entire
state will be about two to one repub-
lican. The Wine and Beer amendment
was defeated in Van Buren, county by
over four thousand majority, and the
total Dry majority in the state will
probably reach nearly 100000. Heavy
majorities were rolled up for the
Good Roads amendment everywhere,
and the majority for this measure will
undoubtedly be around $50, 900. The
Salary measure is probably lost.
There were approximately 1150 votes
cast in Paw Paw township, precinct
