Miss Lou Tretler’s dancing class gave their annual soiree at Carroll Institate Hall last night, the hall being crowded with the frierds and_-relatives of the little ones that participated in the evening’s enter- tainment. A long program of fancy dances was offered, the most of them being par- ticularly pleasing. The soiree was opened with the conventional march, with several prettily executed figures, and then the regular dances commenced. The features of the evening were the flower dance, par- ticipated In by Misses Louise Klotz, Ger- trude Ferguson, Emily Blazer, Irene Ernst and Laura Knapp. A notable feature was the dancing of Baby Ruth Walker and that of Dimple Shackelford. The last-named ex- ecuted several dances in groups and a solo, which reccived enthusiastic applause. The list embraced nearly all of the fancy dances generally seen and some new ones that were given in a charming manner. Louise Raun, Bessie Walter, Ella Schmidt, Re- becca Schaffirt, Josephine McCoy, Viola Barnett, Estelle Eaton, Florence Becker, May Blazer, Eisie Worth and Katie Schaf- fer danced a fairy caprice, while another pretty group dance, “La Madrillienne,” was given by Louise Klotz, Dimple Shackelford, Gertrude Ferguson, Master Earl Brooks, Laura Glancy, Irene Ernst, Louise McCoy and Master Willie Schaffer. Hortense Sond- heimer, Pauline Taylor, Mary Blazer and Florence Becker danced a Highland jette, and Laura Knapp, Irene Ernst and Louise Klotz gave ‘‘La Sylvaine.” Josephine Mc- Coy and Master Hennie Schafhirt danced “La Zingarella,"” and Kate Schaffer and Eugene Le Roy Walker gave ‘La Petite Coquette.” The “Manzanillo” was given by Gertrude Ferguson and Master Earl Brooxs. Those who danced solo dances were Bessie Tegeler, Bobby Klotz, Louise McCoy, Dim- ple Shackelford, Earl Brooks, Hazel Walker, Laura Knapp, Elsie Worth, Emily Blazer, Willie Schaffer, Louise Klotz, Irene Ernst, May Weser, Laura Glancy and Le Roy Walter. The program was finished by a cake walk in which the following couples took part: Gertrude Ferguson and Master Fred Cos- ton, May Weser and Master Hennie Schaf- hirt, Hortense Sondheimer and Master Ar- thur Klotz, Florence Becker and M Tom Billingsly, and Elsie Worth and Mas‘ Bobby Klotz. The little ones were blacked up for the occasion, and presented a very comical sight as each one strove to outdo the other in extravagant gestures and pos- ing. After a waltz and two-step by the sckool the audience participated in general dancing until a late hour. Some of the flowers presented to the little ones were ex- ceptionally beautiful, the front of the stage being lined with the numerous floral offer- ings. Mr. eCharles Shackelford acted airman of the floor committee, being, a sisted by Messrs. E. Keneim Robbins, f. F. Litue and Harry R.

Tomorrow will be St’ Valentine's day, and the celebration of this annual festival will bring joy to thousands of infantile hearts. To the older ones the day has long since lost its meaning, but to the children there is immeasurable happiness when It comes to opening those mysterious envelopes coming from no one knows where and containing—what? The origin of the celebration is rather hazy. Some say that it used to be St. Gallantin’s day, and was chosen for the use of lovers because of the appropriate- ness of the name, Several saints by the neme of Valentine were venerated on Feb- Tuary 14, but the observances with which we are familiar today seem to be connected rather with the spring time than with the saints whose name is thus taken in vain. This is the day on which, in England and Scctland in former times, each young bachelor and maid received by lot one of the opposite sex as “valentine” for the yeor, It was a kind of mock betrothal, and was marked by the giving of presents. The usage is supposed to have grown out of the old notion alluded to by Chaucer and Shakespeare, that on this day birds first chocse their mates. ‘The observance of the day finally degenerated into the usage of youths and maids sending each other prints of a sentimental kind. Changes in Taste. Within the past few years the observ- ances in connection with St. Valentine's day have changed materially. It used to be that everything was lace paper, with Cupid's darts and pierced hearts, or else it went to the other extreme and was all ccmic. The lace valentine was all senti- ment and weak poetry. Today one « scarcely a remnant of either style. The lece valentine as it was a few years ago has disappeared almost as completely as the dodo, while the vivid comics have been relegated to the suburbs. Some Novelties. There are plenty of novelties in the stores this year showing what a chanz there has been in the valentine ‘taste. the mest part the missives are of a moc sentimental character genuinely poetic sort. card has the words “There is no a one ch for For instance, you,” the ee enated by a genuine ch pasted on. ‘Thi! style, with seems to be pa ticularly popular.

A little mouse is seated cn a raft made of toothpicks, and on the card on which the shipwrecked rodent ts mounted are the words, “Adrift without a mate.” Many of the valentines contain puns, for the most part rather poor, as puns are apt to be.

No Redress for jured Parties in Two en. Two important decisions, relating to the lability of railroad companies, were ren- dered by the Court of Appeals late yester- day afternoon. In each case the judgment of the lower court, in favor ef the com- pany, was affirmed. The first case was that of Thomas Hur- die against the Washington and George- town Railroad Company. The man at- tempted to cross the tracks between two approaching cars, and was thrown down and injured by one of them. The appel- late court holds, as did the court below, that Hurdle should have waited until both tracks were clear, and that his injuries were the result of his own carelessness and negligence. In the se¢ond case, that of John Cnlien against the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Company, the twelve-year-old son of the plaintiff ran under the gates at a street crossing and was crushed to death by an approaching engine. It was claimed that the engineer was not on the lookout, and that the boy tripped and fell because of a badly constructed track. But the appellate court says that whatever may have been the alleged negligence of the company in failing to irclose its: tracks with a fence, as seemed to be required by law, or in leaving a dangerous hole in the track, or running its engine at unlawful rate of speed, ete., there was “evidence of con- tributory negligence on the part of the victim, which wholly precludes any recov- ery by the plaintiff in this action unless the deceased was in some way relieved of the legal consequences of his own negligence.” ———— Tempérnnce Meeting.

This morning about 8 o'clock Detectives Carter and Gallaher surprised a young man named E. Byron Elson as he was about leaving his room at 634 I street to go to breakfast by placing him under arrest. He Was arrested because of a request received from ‘Dayton, Ohio, stating that he was wanted there on a charge of false pre- tenses. A similar request had been receiv- €d by the Baltimore authorities, and Mar- shal Frey of the latter city, sent word here yesterday that the man was employed by a publishing firm. It turned out that he was not employed by the firm, but the de- tectives located him with the result stated. Elson, who is about thirty-four years old and well dressed, denies that he has done anything wrong in Dayton.
