The benefit dance for the Near East
Relief, given at the Elks cluA Tues-
day evening was decidedly the social
event of * the season. Not in months
has such an enjoyable dance been
given in Claremore and never before
have the Elks club rooms been decornt
ed so prettily. More than two hun-
dred people enjoyed the evening and
the florr was crowded to capacity
with dancers. The Elks orchestra
furnished its usual brand of jazz
music so familiar to the dance of to-
day. The spirit of the crowd was
light-hearted and if one did not have
a good time it was because he or she
is just naturally pessimistically in-
clined.
The occasion being Washington's
birthday, the dance programs were
red hatchets, while during the even-
ing, following the Minuet, danced by
Mrs. Lawrence Mehr and Mr. Ben
Mehr in the costumes of George and
Martha Washington, candied cherries
were served to the guests.
Another clever feature of the even-
ing waB a prize waltz. All of the
couples began fhe waltz but one by
one they were paused in the jflance by |
the judges until but the one prinnlnpr;
couple remained. It was Edgar i
Gourd and Miss Enza Alexander. To I
the rhythm of the beautiful wait* they,
moved gracefully up and down the j
floor. It was a popular selection by j
th>* judges and received hearty ap- j
plause. They were given the prize.
The guests were not only from
Claremore but all parts of the county j
were represented. Particul&ry did
Chelsea have a large representation I
present. The ladies in evening gowns j
of the latest design, looked charming.
It would be rather difficult to-picture
a prettier scene.
Untold credit for the/success of the
affair goes to Mrs. Lawrence Mehr.
who had ful^ management. Without ^
a hitch the evening's pleasures moved;
forward from tKf beginning to end.'
