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.

Klpley of Taooms, and the little Misses

garet Blddle.
