' 05s 5y toss ONLY mffalrw of an Informal char acter hav marked the week's programme as the terrible ma rine disaster has cast a doom over so detjr In general. - Many affairs ' which had been planned during tna past week were cancelled and the usual activity which follows the Lenten season was paraltxed. Kehearsats for "The Campus Mouser" are engrossing the energies of many of the prominent society folk, and the large luncheon given at the Portland Hotel for Mrs. itobert M. La Follette, was of paramount Interest among the Portland suffragists. Kverjr rear women of the smart set take greater Interest In the art of dancing, realising probably that It la the surest way to acquire poise and a lithe and graceful figure. By dancing one does not mean the conventional waits or ev n the much reviled, Turkey Trot and Texas Tommy, which have cau.ted a sensation out of all proportion to their merits or even demerits. Ksihetlc dancing Is the latest craze of fashionable women and undoubtedly the most sensible which has visited the social world for some time. We would all welcome an aire of grace, after long years of the stilted walk Induced by tight lacing and high heels. Women of today look mora and mora to ancient Creek art for their Idea of beauty In figure, as well aa for graceful lines for their draperies. To the good work which athletics and physical culture have already begun In the woman of today daneing will add the required finish and grace. Looking bark over several genera tions of women with high narrow shoulders, and tiny cramped waists, who were practically deformed, we are eager to embrace anything which will free the race of this false Idea of beauty. We all smile when we remember the "feuberry Walk" which was the erase among our grandmothers: and the stilted carriage and "deportment" which were considered good form In the early eighties, but It Is only within the past four years that women's clothes have been even tolerably com fortable, and many of the present so ciety belles can remember "breathless" dresses and collars which chafed their ears. A remarkable exhibition of esthetle dancing was given on . uesday after noon at Linnea Hall by Miss Varney's pupils, who Include tots of six years, debutantes and society matrons. Lit tle Misses Jane Talbot and F.owena Walcott and Miss Cornelia Klpley of Tacoma executed Intricate solo dances. Among Mtss Varney's pupils are Mrs. Guy Webster Talbot, Mrs. Helen Lad 4 Corbett. Mrs. Holt C Wilson. Mrs. E. C Shevlln. Miss Isabella Gauld. Miss Lesley Smith, Miss Barbara Crocker. Mtss Mildred Josselyn, the Misses Cully and Cornelia Cook. Miss Marlon Howe. Miss Gladys Harrison.
