Although Il is not generally approved,
dance talk Is very much prscticed, and
man gets chance TO say many things
TO a woman while whirling in the waltz
that he could not say atany other time.
Ball room talk is science In Itself.
When men well over thirty are among
energetic walters, they endeavor TO
talk down TO the level of their partners,
and are apparently content with the re-
sponses their questions elicit, which
questions and answers generally take
the form of Have you been TO many
balls this season." Il have not been To
many balls yet" Or, 81 suppose you
are very fond Of dancing?" Yes. l am,

such as these will last out dance, I'M

imation TO prove TO her partner that she
is not quite 30 insipid as he had sup

from this mild form OF questioning aud
take rather higher fight--not too
high one, lest he should alarm her
and cause her to consider him ecceut-

Thus young lady, when asked II she
were fond of dancing, would perhaps
say: 81 like it very we'll, but there are

This would give her partner an opening
for inQuiring as to what amusements
pleased and interested her other than
that Of dancing, when similarity OF
tastes might be discovered and congo
NAL ideas developed. Alternatives and
negatives close the avenues OF talk,
leading to nothing and nowhere. When
this form of reply Is necessary, 1t shonld
at least be qualified by some additional
remark, which might possibly prove

l am" and mo, am not. ""Yes, 1t is"
or mo, it is not" or the eyes, L do"
or the ''No, do not" form OF replies
are as chilling as they are brief, and
offer little or no encouragement Tor
making further conversational efforts.
Any Of these replies, taken singly, and
qualified even in an interrogative form,
would be an Improvement upon sn I'M

All the world loves lover-who
shows his love as lover should. One
Of the FIRST essentials OF q lover Is that
he behave handsomely al Christmas.

chaste, the inexpensive she" the prettl-
est, newest, and most appropriate pres

discover. and his salary can purchase.
