'?? The Complimentary Dance. Dancing is said to be the handmaiden of of the art? by some, by others the oldest of the arts. But be this as it may, there is a con cord of opinion tbat no matter bow far back in the remoteness of time the the student may search, he will fiud the history of nations intermingled and intertwined with tberytbmic movements and graceful motions of the dance. At first a religious rite, then a form of cele brating a religious ceremony or comiuemora tir>g someps ful occasion, it ultimately be came mereiy a pastime of joyous, happy and light hearted people. In the youthful days of this now old world of ours, all people are said,to h?ve taken part in the dance, from the hoary-headed patriarch, wrapped in bis man tle of dignity, to the happy child, clothed in nothing more substantial than youthful beauty and innocence. Those were happy dajs; and the poet and dreamer, desires noth ing more beautiful than to contemplate, with his imaginative mind's eye, the groups of beautiful dancers collected beneath the olive proves of the lands whence sprungthe world's first and greatest poets, paiuters and singers. ^Beautiful as is this imagined scene to the day-dreaming poet, that group which 61 led the Masonic Temple hall, on. last Wednesday evening w*s, to the ejes of commonplace, every day people, a more pleasing and grate ful one. ?X was a scene tbat contained the bes? and brightest tinted elements that make up the pictures of the social life of the sister cities, Dar.ington and Sumter. It was grate ful, as being the second scene in the happy and friendly intermingling and intertwining, by means of the dance, of the social history of the two cities The first was Darlington's, tbe second Suroter's, and it is the earnest de sire of ail v. ho had a place in either scene, that -ver recuning periods, similar scenes may be witnessed iu one or the other place. j The ha!! was tastefully decorated with trailing stniiaX vine-, buttling and the national coiors. At the upper erid of the hall | was the legend. "Welcome to Darlington, ' | which was truly "like apples of gold in pictures of s??v r"?words fitly spoken, for! ever; Sum ter heart re-echoed the welcome. Dancing ? egan at ten o'clock and contin ued until tbestriking t-eil of the midnight hour had long died away in the still night air, and the shtil! voiced cock?the patron Saint (if i: has one) of this progressive city j ? was awakening the echoes ot early morn ing The Fourth Regiment Orchestra was at ! iis r-est and the music was so inspiring ad to ? lighten both hearts and feet to glide swiftly through ?h? parsing hours.
