Mrs. Israels. Their influence is SC

Why Not the Pretty Dances?
THE thousands of girls on the
East Side who want to dance will
hardly draw the fine distinction be.

grizzly bear. With them the dance
like the turkey trot. is synonymous
for certain vulgar and immoral fea-

by knowing that at Sherry's a lot Of
