Comm nication between Hy

C.M. Ridley, proprietor of the
popular Ocean View Hotel, is
making preparations to hold a
“Leap Year” dance on the
evening of January 22. The en
tertainment will be decidedly
novel in character, as it is In
tended that for the time being
the “lordly male” shall yield
a portion of his social prerog
atives to the gentler sex by
permitting the ladies to choose
their own dance partners thru
out the evening. It will be
strictly against the rules of the
occasion for a gentlemen to ask
a lady to dance. And it is not
improbable that some of them
may be given the added exper
ience of learning how it feels
to be a “wall flower” as a re
sult of the reversal of the con
ventionalities thus entailed. At
any rate the ladies must do
the chooseing and, being thus
granted the usual privileges of
the male, they will also have to
assume some of the masculine
obligations, for it is ordained
that the price of admission will
be $1 “for ladies,” while the
gentlemen will be admitted
free.
Mr. Ridley’s orchestra will
provide special music for the
occasion and all attending are
assured of an evening of good
entertainment and the best
of everything that Meinhost
Ridley can provide to make
the Oi l- ! •• n one to be long re
membered.
