Personal and Social...... t <A ?^umber of 'Pleasing Social Events "'During the Wast ' i Week ?Arrivals and 'Departures. Terpsichore, iho fair daughter of Zeus, was tlie special patroness of dancing?an art almost as old as his? tory. Religions processions went with Bong and dance to trie Egyptian tem? ples; Miriam ami her maidens danced ti? a sung <?f triumph; It was compul? sory upon the Spartans front the ago of lire: the Zulu war dance was mea? sured und stately, and so In its vari? ous forms we 11ml it used as a mode of outward expression for sorrow, joy, love, hate, battle and religions fervor. And oh down the corridors Of time wc find the blue-eyed German? the swar? thy Italian, the muscular Polo and Hie graceful American each in their own rytbmical way. Joining hands in the dances, and so the .Norfolk world of fashion weaves n link In the unbroken chain. In savage dancing the idea of ma? gic always occurs, and indeed wo al? most bear witness that they were not far wrong when wc glide in the dreamy mazes of the waltz, which the Bavari? ans have handed down to us. A word to the debutantes. Germans tire charm? ing things. I,ut If made a turenlelle, in one or two years there'll be a frantic coaxing of roses in the cheeks where lilies only bloom. t> ? ?
