AN ENCHANTING DANCE.
The romantic girls dance. Each couple
is its own orchestra. The girl VINO Is the
man" sings softly In the time appropri-
ate to the style of the dance. 1t makes
very pretty picture when there are fifteen
or twenty couples in motion, each moving
in perfect rhythm in a different dance or
in different figures Of the same dance.
There is wide variety in costume ana
in the appearance OF the dancers, and
there are a good many Businessmen
who would pay the admission charge at
a hrst-class theatre to get upon that roof
at midday 10 see the dance.
Some OF the girls who like to follow IN
the wake OF the doings Of fashionable folk
as described in the society columns Of the
papers thought that IL would be n fine
thing to introduce a modification or golf
as a midday game. But when they studied
I'D the question and found that some or
the golf courses measured three miles
around, they concluded that no matter
how M Ich modifying was done 1t would
hardly do as a roof amusement.
The girl who likes 10 read novels in
preference to dancing with another girl
or ringing the hoop can have a good
time on this roof. Shesits where she can
have a fine view Of the river and the
Jersey Palisades, and. with an magma
ton strong enough to shut out the in
teryenlng walls Of stone and the high
chimneys, can think that FOR the while
she is summering In some country nook
far away from toll and trouble.
