House in New York and they believe.
it is said that the quality and originality
of their dances speak more for
them than if they advertised It's that they
are from the famous house of new
dances of grace
It has been said by those who have
seen them, both in New York and else-
where, that they are society's most
sensational ballroom
dancers, and
that those hotels who have engaged
them for exhibitions have been caused
to pay high prices for their work
Their repertoire includes all the
favored dances in which New York and
Palm
Beach people have revelled
during the winter months Their stay

and many others of beauty and grace
The couple came into Texas last
year to fill a special engagement at
the Adolphus in Dallas coming all the
way from New York for the purpose
After they had given their first ex-
hibition the society people of Dallas
literally fell in love with them, and
almost demanded the management of
the hotel to keep them for at least two
months
Finally the demand became
so great for their services in the so-
ciety of the State Capitol, that they
went to Austin, where they literally
took the city by storm.
Society's
whirl in Austin was never so rapid as
during the last season when Francis
and Wayne were there All of the ex-
ecutive society of Austin paid them
During the past two months Francis
and Wayne have been dancing at the
Gunter in San Antonio, and have been
pleasing the Four Hundred of that
city to such a degree that society has
most reluctantly learned that the
couple will leave San Antonio for Cor-
pus Christi However, they have be-
come reconciled to the loss knowing
that Corpus Christi is but a step away
from San Antonio, and a much better
place to spend a vacation, anyway.
Their arrival at the Nueces hotel will
be Monday of next week, and on Tues-
day the night following they will give
their first exhibition Supper et Danse
This is said this fashion which has
met with popularity over the United
States, and as Corpus Christi and the
Nueces must keep up with every thing
progressive, the custom will be inau-
gurated here, for the benefit of Cor-
pus Christi people, as well as the sum-
mer visitors to the city, who will not
be able to say, after they leave, that
they were not entertained while here
The plan of this Supper et Danse,
which in English is "supper-dance" is
this Francis and Wayne, during each
course of the supper give exhibitions
of their dancing, and when that course
is over, those present follow the ex-
ample of the leaders and dance one
dance, after which they go back to the
next course in the supper. This con-
tinues until the meal is finished, when
a general dance is held in the ball
room.
