SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

A Dance Recital. The. "'at home" which was given by Mise Campbell and her pupils in Oriental Bay Kiosk yesterday altornoon was distinguished by some of the prettiest and most graceful dancing that one could secj and when one romombers the various recitals that have been given from time to time in this city it can only bs. concluded that graceful dancing should be. one of the 'distinguishing characteristics of the 'Welling-, ten girl by-and-by, when she.makes her. debut in society. Couches and had been placed on tho floor at ' tho near end of tho hall for tho guests who' preferred tho floor to tho gallery, and a dark reH, curtain. stretched from to side'of the room at tho further end made an effective background for tlio white-frocked children as they performed their yariouD dniiaes. Miss Campbell, wearing a frock of green and goM-striped tissue, amd carrying a bouquet of white and golden .narcissi, received her guests at tho enj/ranco to tho room. Skipping exercises were first performed, and until ono'had seen them as they wero done- yesterday one could- not have realised how" graceful they really could be. The Dalcroze exercises (preliminary'classical work) gave an idea, of tho foundation upon which 60 many beautiful dances are built particularly as regards the movements of arms.''hands, and wrists. 'These were delightful to watch. More exercises (dancing and calisthenics) followed, and then was given an Irish hornpvpo, danced by Alison Grant, Olga Schacfer, Francis Muter, and Neeta Canvell Oook. 'Francis Muter dajiced a ''Romance" (Rubinstein), and then followed a Baby Polka, by. Judith Hunter, Gwendoline Hadlield, Joyce Gill, Thyra Gill, Marjory Anderson, and Muriel Anderson, among whom were some a of; tho very tiny pupils. A waltz (Chopin) was danced by .Nesta Carwell Cook/j Olga Schaefor performed a "Slumber Song"' (Toll Uarne): Alison Grant, a "Petite Vals'o" (llHk'Meyer Helmund); Pizzicato, a movemorjt from "Les Milliers D'Arlequiu" (Richard Drige), was dnuced by Francis Muter, and another Pizzicato, a movemont from "Sylvia La Nyinpho do Diane," was danced by Olga ■ Scbaefer, Francis Muter, Alison Grant, Jean Menteiith, Janet Anson, Nesta. Carwell Cook, and Judith Hun-> tor. liven tho tinios.among the danc-' ers seemed to to.seized vvitli tho poesy cud graco of dancing, . and amusing though it was to watch their strenuous efforts olio could not but bo struck with their sonso of time-, and rhythm.'.
