How to Give a Jolly Hurdy Gurdy
Dance,
The quaint hurdy gurdies which
have so long been the delight Of city
children and the despair of the faS-
tidiouS music lovers are in danger Of
Incoming fashionable. A hostess ut d
summer resort hit upon this novel
manner Of furnishing music for her
guests to dance by.
So successful did ii prove that other
hosteSSes quickly followed her exam
pie. ana he hurdy gurdy. with its soft
voiced Italian owner. was greatly in
demand. Young people danced until
neary dawn to the alluring strains of
"The Pink Lady" and the fashionable
rhythm Of "rhr Blue Danube"
It is uroverbial that youth never
tires of dancing. and apparently hurdy
%UrdiCs never tire of playing, The two
are equally matched. for the hurdy
gUrdY man stops only long enough to
change his tune, while youth stops only
long enough to catch its breath The
lurdy gurdy simplities things i'm
mvusrly for the hostess who dares not
WISH to entertain deliberately. 1t at
| Once &N0cks pretcuSion in the head
and do"~ away with the eXcruciating
torture inflicted by the sometimes in
competent musicians who play for
dancrrS
For the hurdy gurdy has the advap-
tH2e OF really keeping time, and that
is NOR" than can he said Of the aver
age musician.
One has ouly TO engage the hurdy

the furniture and give Az iaformal
dance.
