' Jv C. ( - - S Southern Suit and Skirt Company { “Atlanta’s Exclusive Women s Apparel Store” 43-45 Whitehall Street j Dancing Children Execute Novel Figures At the annual Christmas dance for children, given by Miss Lillian Viola Moseley at Segadlo's hall yesterday, from 5 to 7 o'clock, a number of beau tiful ami novel steps were witnessed by a delighted audience of grown-ups— friends and relatives of the young danc ers. The chfldu n were allowed to se lect their own program, and for two hours they gave solos, duos and dances In which a dozen or more took part. The performance of these children showed the many new ideas in dancing which have been advanced and taught by the leading dance masters of New York and Paris, Miss Moseley having spent the summer learning these in New York. Among the dances given were the Czardash, a Hungarian peasant dance, full of quick, graceful movements; the Krakoviak, a Polish pantomime group dance: “Little Boy Blue,” a beautiful interpretative dance; "Poppies,” the es sence of grace and charm; "Golden But terfly,” an airy, fairy dance with ex quisite arm movements, as well as dance steps; “Polka Minature,” and many others, besides the usual ball room dances and variations, like “The Scottlsche Enchantress,” "The Broad way Polka” and the “Minuet." The children, whose ages ranged from seven or eight to thirteen, taking part In these classical, interpretative and characteristic dances were Misses Ruth Benson, Martha Boynton. Florence Deale, Lydia Toepel, Helen Brown, Harriet Askam, Nell Suntmerall and Idelia Andrews, and Masters Bert Har less, Walter Wilkes, <>!in Stamps, Jr.. Edward Kemp. Charles Parantha, Joel Armistead and Charles E. Boynton, Jr. During an intermission in the dances, delicious refreshments were served to the children and the grown-up guests, and a cordial holiday cheer radiated throughout the afternoon. The exhibition of these mahy beau tiful dances by young children shows the scope of the present fail for danc ing, and its development in the high est forms. There was nothing of the bizarre or grotesque on the program, but, on the contrary, movements and steps which were not only full of grace ami beauty, but which embodied the exercise of arms ami limbs and the en tire body of the child, in action set to harmony, which is the latest and most praiseworthy idea to be inculcated In dancing by the leading masters ot the world. Mr. and Mrs. George Caldwell Spier will keep open house tomorrow at their horrje on Columbia avenue, when all their friends will be welcomed at an old-fashioned observance of New Year’s day "at home."
