PUBLIC DANCES
IN CITY HALL
MKB. K. HII'E,
SPOKANE, Dec. 29.—Dances
for the public in the city council
chambers!
Thats the new stunt put into
effect here by the city federation
of women's clubs. .lust the other
night the first municipal dance
waß held and "a good time was
liad by all." On the floor were
200 couples enjoying to the limit
the steps approved by the women's
clubs.
The city fathers were on hand
at the opening and beamed their
approval of the plan. Many of
them essayed a "fling or two"
around the brilliantly lighted hall.
Mrs. E. Hupe, one of the pro
gressive members of the federa
tion, is an enthusiastic backer of
the municipal hops.
"My idea," she said, "is to give
people who like to dance, but who
do not have access to private ball
rooms, a chance to amuse them
selves in a decent place. A charge
of 25 cents will be made upon the
men, to pay for music end lights.
Women will be admitted free."
The dances will be given fort
nightly.
