Elkton Welcomes Cavalry Officers with Dance Mixup
A formal Elkton reception for United States cavalry ends in a humorous mix when noncommissioned officers remain for a dance after officers depart. Miss Winder leads the Young Ladies Club in inviting eight officers, only to find all invited men leave, leaving one forthright woman waiting as Sergeant Major Brainerd and the Senior Captain improvise a final dance.
