Holiday Dances ToBe HeldAt
 Capital

There is no form of entertainment as popular as dancing and although all plans have not fully materialized yet plans are being made for a dance every night during the Christmas hol- idays, the first of the series to be given on the evening of December 23, by Montgomery's new Cotillion club. A wonderful jazz orchestra from New Orleans has been engaged to furnish music for the occasion which will start off the Christmas festivities.
 Friday evening the day after Christ mas a committee of Montgomery's so- ciety girls will entertain at a "bal Poudre" at the city auditorium, the event to be the biggest social event of the season. Dancing will begin at nine thirty and last until one o'clock and the leading young married people of the city will be patrons and pa tronesses for the occasion. One fea- ture which will make the affair very beautiful is that all dancers will have powdered hair and be in full evening dress. The auditorium will be beau tifully decorated to carry out the Christmas idea. A large number of guests have been invited to the affair which will be the most brilliant of the seasons festivities.
 On Saturday night, December 27,
