After the recital there was dancing for nearly an hour, a feature of this being the "Paul Jones," which is getting to be a favorite dance form with the Irvington Club. This Is a sort of "all-hands-around" Virginia reel and waltz combination, which, though strenuous, is productive of end less merriment. The recital was given for the benefit of the club, and Mrs. Scott was warmly thanked for her gen erosity. The first of the series of three subscription dances will 'be given at the clubhouse on January 39. .The ladles of the.
