THE HOTEL LOBBIES

About the most hopeless and soul
trying thing in this world is to dance
with the girl who is just beginning"
said Bill Laimer, as he stuck a pen
behind his ear over at the Gardner
a day or W. ago. TT is a thousand
times worse when the dance is a pub
lie one. The new beginner is about
as awkward as the festive COW when
Size wants to gambol on the green in
h early spring. Her feet get in the
Y y and twisted and che hobs up and
down much to the discontinue of her
partner. '
Il was at a dance a few nights ago
when she was there, and honestly l
felt sorry for her. She was a pretty
little thing, but she bobbed up and
down just like a cork when a fish
is %nibbling at the hook and while cute
-oKing when she was still she became
a comedy when on the floor, at which
many smiled .audibly. If she could
only see herself as others saw her she
would seek the ~seclusion of her own
rooms or the room of a friend and try
it there. / like to dance. 1 like to
sort of float and float and float with
some beauty by my side or in front
of me as the cas- may be, but heaven
help the man who for charity's sake
or any other reason attempts to glide
and what not with an untutored young
woman who is making her first or Sec
ond attempt. In, vain may her friends
tell her tl1at she is doing nicely for
they are not telling the truth. Heaven
help her, is what 1 say" "@
