What a dance! It’s the talk of the school
among all classes. Girls in lace, taffeta, velvet,
uet, and ruffles all swaying to and fro with
young men in their tux and full dress. Did you
see those corsages? My heavens, you would
think the parlor was being used for a wedding
instead of a dance. The nonsense that was

talked before this gala affair was terrific.
We
all Wonder why in the world everyone gets in
such a stew about people not turning up when
everyone knows that a dance is a place for a
crowd. Especially at those given at Saint
Mary’s, perhaps it’s just those blonds, brunettes
and redheads, with their gracious manners and
easily moving feet, that cause the success ot the
dances here.
Also the chaperons were so verv cordial to
ffie outsiders that it placed all of them at their

Miss Davis, IMiss Lewis, Mrs. Partrick, and
Miss Sutton. Also to Mr. Guess and Mr. Moore
their efforts in making it an elegant dance.
Ted Rose and his orchestra were divine. The
®usic was varied, with sweet and slow notes
