A LOUISVILLE clergyman suggests a

harmless and unobjectionable, Let
two sexes dance in separate apart
ments, he says, and there will be no
room for criticism. The idea seems
to be very simple one, but we do
not hear that it is making much head
way. A still more eilicacious remedy
would be to abolish the music, and
we wond er that the Kentucky clergy
man did not think of it..
