Dances which some could do
and some couldn't, but enjoyed
thoroughly by all, were the or
der of the evening last night at
the Old Tyne ball given in the
ermory by the Salem Woman s
club as benefit for the club COM
munity building. The grand march
started promptly at O'Clock, led
by Mr.. and Mrs. G. P. Bishop. Her
Gown, fashionable twenty five
wears ago-the period the ball
was representing, was of flowered
taffeta, draped with rich silk
lace, and it almost swept the
floor. Her beautiful hair, caught
with a net, was done in pretty
curls at the back Of her neck. Mr..
Bishop wore an evening suit of
black.
Enough couples fell in for the
grand march to fill the floor COM
fortably and programs, done In
green and silver, were distributed
by girls in costume. The march
terminated in a waltz, followed
by two, step; these two old and
Young alike could do. For the
schottische the mode of dancing
varied greatly with the couple.
One lady, dressed in a flowered
costume of the period, and her
partner danced this number open
style, giving a very charming ef-
feet
The quadrille was the Waterloo
Of many and directions called
from the platform by R. E. Ander-
son could not always be heard
across the floor. They went some
thing like this: Balance on the
corner; swing to the back" Few
couples got through without sew
eral bitches.
In the intermission features
were a gavotte done by Miss Mar
garet White in costume and Lac
es and Graces" by Mrs. Ralph |
White, Miss Valerie Briggs, Miss
Lefty Steelhammer and Miss Fran
ces Reynolds. All were in cos
tune. Lemonade was served be-
tween dances. In addition to the
large number of couples on the
floor, the balcony was filled with
on lockers.
Some were in costume and 9TH
ers were not, as this was optional
with the couple. Edward Boaz in
a light colored suit of amusing cut
called off the dances. H. H. Row
ley was another beau of the eve
ming, as he was the only man pres
ent in colonial costume. His cos
tune was of bright contrasting
colors and he wore wig and CO.
lonial slippers, adding a pictur-
esque bit.
There were many pretty bellies
in costume last night, and it
would be difficult to name them
all. A few of them may be brief
ly recalled. Mrs. G. X. Spaulding
wore a gown of rich buff with
embroidery drapes, which was
very elite in its day. Her beauti-
full hair was arranged in puffs {
and with one long curl over the
shoulder. Miss Edith Hazard wore
a dress of gray grosgrain, made
with full skirt and tight fitting
waist. 1t was a beautiful piece of
workmanship, to make a present I
day dressmaker envious. Mrs. Earl J
Kugel was gowned in an old rose
costume of taffeta, full and long.
Her hair was done in curl and
some of the color of the dress was
caught in the coiffure.
Miss Kathryn Gurnell was
quaint in a dress of light pink,
made in the style of quarter
century ago, and she wore a hat
Of proper shade and dimensions,
with streamers of broad velvet
ribbon behind. Although Mr.. and
Mrs. William McGilchrist, Sr.,
were not in costume, they are
beau and belle not to be over
looked The ease and enjoyment
with which they did every one of
The dances was a delight to watch.
Mrs. William Brown headed the
in charge Of the dance
md a goodly sum was netted from
he entertainment.
