LEAP YEAR" DANCE
WAS MERRY CAPER

The leap year dance held at the
Colony Hotel on Saturday night was
one of the brightest dances of the sea-
son.
Leap year will soon be gone, and
the chance for the dear things" to
propose and ask the boys for a dance
will soon be over.
j Some Of the ladies were attired in
mems clothes, while most Of them had
shirts and collars on, and Fred Schoet-
tie was the only bachelor with nerve
enough to attire as a Iady-he was
the clown of the evening.
The ladies set the men fine exam
pie in the matter of asking for dances.
The men usually wait until the music
starts before seeking partners, but not
so with the ladies. As soon as the
dance was announced swarm of La
dies swept down upon the men and en-
gagged partners, and were ready for
the dance when the music began. The
ladies showed themselves to be fond
of dancing, for few Of them missed a
single dance.
1t was observed that those who it
was thought were not fond Of the
dancing really are just crazy about it,
This is tip to the men that they had
better dance every dance and keep the
ladies swinging.

NEW CLASS BEGINS
STUDY OF ESPERANTO

A new class has been formed to
study Esperanto, and will study Mon
days and Wednesdays from seven to
eight.
The old class will continue under
the direction Of H. L. Buck into an adj
vanced course. while the new class
will begin at the alphabet and con-
tinue on through under the capable di-
rection of M. L. DeVine.
The Esperantists have adopted a
aim and motto which are "The Colony
for Esperanto" and "The Future is
Ours" and have been allotted spe-
cial table at the hotel that they may
sit and converse in Esperanto.
The Esperanto language has made
wonderful strides in the last few years
of war, and the colonists are not go
ing to be left behind in the parade.
The aim to make the Colony com
munity of Esperatists will draw the at
tention of Esperantists the world over,
as it will probably be the first place
where the majority of the community
will converse and carry on business in
the International language.

SUNDAY ENTERTAINMENT
IS BEST THIS SEASON

The Sunday evening entertainments
are improving each week. and last
program is the best yet, ac-
cording to the opinion Of several Of
the colonists as they left the hall.
The program opened with sketch
which presented some very funny In
the center of which was a Jew
of unusually Jewy proclicities who
had key to give away be cause Of
a robbery in the hotel. Other lobby
lists, fearing search for the key, sIipp-
ed their keys into Moses pockets,
while engaging him in conversation.
Later a reward was offered for the
missing key in the robbery case, and
each lobbyist sought the key he had
slipped into the Jew5s pockets.
It ended in the Jew selling back the
key to various lobbyists for fabu-
lous sums, and finally getting the re-
ward also. Harry Heym made char
acteristic Jew, and his acting was ia
vorably commented upon.
The next number was quartet
consisting Of Mrs. Warren Buck. Miss
Myrtle Kemp, w. H. Burton. and G. 7,
Pickett, which rendered very nice
harvest home song which was much
applauded.
The final sketch was "nigger" whc
