noe t wliitli has been nip. on such teal
Ken yoiu lines (lining Its threo jears of
existence it would be a mighty poor thing
to let it become less, popular. However,
theio is not much danger of that with
an oig.inizer bucli as Mrs. Scott, who
alvva.s has some attraction for the mem
bers and their guests.
Peoplo seem lately as if they would
rather watch than dance, and last Satur
day at the club when the ballroom was
jammed with tables and 350 guests wero
theie onlj about 100 danced.' It teally
makes it nicer for the dancers, however,
for theie is so much moie room. The
