SOCIETY NOTES 
The first of the junior cotillions, 
which have been arranged for the 
young set in New York, was held 
Tuesday night at Sherry’s. Mrs. 
J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., who was 
Miss Grew of Manchester and Boston 
is a member of the committee in 
charge. In anticipation of the event 
the patronesses and committee held 
a meeting one night last week at the 
close of which it was announced that 
the objectionable holds are to be for- 
bidden at the cotillions. The state- 
ment was given out that “the genuine 
turkey trot is no longer in vogue, but 
the name of turkey trot, is however, 
applied as a generic term to all kinds 
of dances which do not resemble in 
the slightest degree any of these de- 
cadent movements. We have no ob- 
jection to rag-time music, to which 
the two step has been danced for many 
years, but we think that the whole 
difficulty with modern dancing lies in 
the position of the dancers.” After 
explaining the, difference between the 
“clutch” and the “strangle,” the state- 
ment says that what is considered to 
be the approved position “is where the 
girl’s left hand rests inside the man’s 
right arm which goes around her 
waist. If you place your hand inside 
your partner’s arm, then he cannot 
hold you too close, for you are in a 
position to push his arm away, but 
when you rest your hand on the out- 
side of his arm you cannot regulate 
his grip. We are recommending this 
position, which is pleasing, is perfect- 
ly sensible and comfortable and can be 
assumed by any young girl with per- 
fect propriety. Even the old-time 
waltz can be greatly altered and made 
extreme. Our dances will have only 
waltzes and one steps. The one step 
is not in the least like the original 
turkey trot, and it is approved by all 
our members if danced in the proper 
way.”

SOCIETY NOTES 
Among the several improvements 
planned at the Essex County club be- 
fore next season is the change-over of 
the avenue leading to the club-house 
from Summer street. The location of 
this is to be changed from a point op- 
posite the avenue leading up Stevens 
Hill, to a point more easterly, almost 
opposite the entrance to “Eagle Head,” 
the McMillan estate, and incidentally 
much nearer an approach for people 
driving from Magnolia. The road 
will wind in around the base of the 
hill, making a more picturesque ap- 
proach.
