Social Distinction,

In some parts of the south the
darkies are still addicted to the old
style country dance in big hall, with
the fiddlers, banjoists and other mu-
sicians on the platform at one end.
At one such dance held not long
ago in an Alabama town, when the
f1ddlers had duly resined their bows
and taken their places on the plat
form the floor manager rose.
"Git yo' partners TO- de mex dance!"
he yelled. "Al you ladies an gennul-
