yYNHE first meeting this season OF tn'
l. Junior Dances was held last night II
tbe Rose Gardens of the. Bellevue STRAIT
,o-d and was n decided success. The

The Rose Room. which was used for
the OCCASION, was artistically decorated
with Pink begonias and the Columbia
rose. The stage. which concealed the
orchestra, was banked with palms and
ferns. A lattice work gate Of pink
roses and natural smilax presented an
artistic background.
Supper was served at midnight at
small tables which were ornamented
with sprays of smilax and pink shaded
lights.
The Junior Dances, in a way, succeed
the former Monday Evening Dancing
Glass. though they are by no means as
exclusive as that class was. When Mrs.
Frederick Thurston Mason was in
charge of the Monday Evening she never
extended an invitation to subscribe to
any one who was not subscriber to the
Assemblies. She often invited non
~
hardly fair to exclude entirely persons
whose social position was quite the
equal of those who through accident Of
birth had happened to live al, their lives
in Philadelphia and had also always
subscribed to the Assemblies.
Thee Junior Dances are. of course,
limited, too, in sense, but they do not
keep to the Assembly list. They are
held on Wednesday nights and there are
three meetings as compared to six with
the old Monday Evening.
There were great many dinners be-
fore the meeting, including one for
Maisie Stewart and Jessie Da Costa,
which was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Hutchinson, Jr., and one given |
by the wilson Pritchetts. The Chattin |
Wetherills also gave dinner for Gladys |
Muller, and the Lewis Mayors enter
tanned at the theatre before the dance.

uickly replied, "Oh, yeth. That's
ousin Elthie getting dwest."
