A Leap Year dance is always a good
deal Of a joke: the girls chip in so
cents or a dollar each and ask the
men and the men pay the cab or
| and buy the eats after the ball Is over.
| Then the girls sit back complacent1y
| and think they have paid their indebt-
edness to the men and the men ought
to be grateful and give at least two
parties a month for another year.
! The leap year subscription dance at
McRae's last night was supposed to
| be for the Helianthus. Tivoh and Var
| sity clubs but the Helianthus chaps
| may consider themselves stung for
| there was only one HeHanthus man
| present, who was not also a member
| of one of the other Clubs. It was in
| fact, the debutantes and the Mellins
| food set of girls who gave the party
and the Rah-Rah girls and boys from
| Washburn were largely in evidence.
| There was a hodge-podge of toilets
ranging from suit skirts and lingerie
blouses to ball gowns, but "a lovely
! time was had" That is the girls had
good time, for they made out the
programmes and it was the men who
had to sit against the wall or fly to
the friendly solitude of the dressing
room Two chaps who were
smoking her out in the dressing room
dance) talked it over and decided that
if they acted within their rights and
paid the girls tit-for-tat, they would
go out in the hall and do the wet
blanket stunt: sit around looking mad
der than wet hens, the way the girls
do when they have to sit out.
Some Of the gay young Lotharios who
had supposed themselves irresistible,
found out something to their disad-
vantage last night They had food for
reflection on the uncertainty of social

in . 'It was lucky for me-"
said one man, that the Elks' club was
convenient. 1 spent the long gaps on
my programme UP there, otherwise
would have had a new set of corns
to remember the party by-but not on
my feet" The company IN
