REVIVE OLD.TINE DANCES

The success of the ball given by the
Home Association of the Hermann
Sons last Sunday night was come
back" for the old-fashioned dance.
Those modernists who think that the
past is buried and that dance is
not a dance unless done in the con-
tortionistic mode of the day should
have taken a peep into the Hermann
Sons Hall on Garden street and
watched the crowd gathered with the
expressed purpose of doing nothing
but the old-time steps.
Over 300 members of Hermann Sons
lodges attended the ball, which lasted
into the wee small hours of morning,
and enjoyed every minute of it in
spite of the fact that the orchestra
contained no wild" trap drummer and
was lacking the discordant note of the
blatant saxaphone. Only the lively
march and two-step, or the stately
waltz were played. and it took but
n few trials for feet that had long
ben out of practice to again pick up
the easy rhythm and the smooth grace
of those almost forgotten dances OF
the past. Harking back still further,
real old-time quadrille was revived and
led by +. NJ. Gloeckner and II. f.
wosnig. All in all the ball was more
thoroughly enjoyed than any enter
tainment given by the Herman Sons
recently, and before the evening was
over it was fully decided that the per-
Torrance would be repeated often in
the future.

of the desks of the institution up to
the one he now holds, giving his entire
time and attention to perfecting the
system of all banks and particularly
of the Alamo National. That his ef-
forts have borne results is evidenced
by the fact that a system developed
by him is now in use in the leading
banks over the country. When the
first adding machines had been thor
oughly tested and established in the
banks and business houses Of the
country, and it was announced that
the Burroughs company planned max
ing twelve larger machines for the use
of the government, Mr.. Brown, then
employed in the statement department
of the bank. conceived the idea of max
ing out statements with an adding ma
chine. A representative of the Bur
roughs company came to San Antonio
at his request and according to his
specification designed the first state
ment machine. Two of the first ones
made were bought by the Alamo Ma
tional. and while newer and i'm
proved models are now being used, the
old machines are still in the statement
apartment and in working condition.
The machines with one operation enter
deposits and dates, dates. numbers and
amounts of checks. charges against the
account, and then bring forward a
balance. This machine makes it posi-
bic for statement clerks TO do, in

One of the few personalities still
left in Europe is Cecilia Hanson. She
is Finnish. as her name suggests, %,

us last week that Cecilia was his pet
feminine pupil. That was enough to
arouse interest in the young woman,
who began her career when she was in
short skirts.
Miss Hanson has been active profes

Scandinavian countries, and France
and Germany, have constituted her
field. Reports of her abilities lead one
to expect. of her large accomplish

Nearly every member is young, and

his undivided attention to the serving
of that one meal. Several dishes he
deemed not good enough for his Gus

and changed. Throughout the meal he
