THE ARM o1UroH. The silly and indelicat,

THE ARM CLUTCH. The silly and indelicate
method Of grabbing ayoung lady's arm known
as the "arm-clutch." Is more Objectionable
than the round dance. and Is certainly more
ungraceful. The man squeezes the young la
dy's arm and clamps her figure to him in such
a way that any forward movement gives to
both figures mistimed pendulum-like mos
ton, rendering both parties decidedly ungrace
full. and giving to the lady's figure especially
an awkwardness very unjust to her. No lady
should allow man to grasp her in this way
1t is not nice. 1t is not the polite thing
Plainly speaking. it is undue familiarity
without even the reprehensible excuse of be-
ing effective as street parade measure-Rich.
