dock

Fancy steps, including the turkey trot
and the tango, will be seen for the first
time on the Braddock Heights dancing
floor this summer, unless the followers OF
the Terpsichorean art take advantage OF
the new rule and make it necessary tor

ern dances. Heretofore the authorities
have forbidden the turkey trot, tango and
