LEAVE DANCING
QUESTION OPEN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 5-'To
dance or not to dance. was the ques-
ton that vexed members OF the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion conference yesterday.
There seemed to be general
agreement, at their melting in West
minister Hall, that dancing as an at
traction to bring girls into the Y. W.
G. A. was to be vigorously condemn
ed, but whether occasional dances, to
which young men are invited, are
commendable or not. remains an open
question.
The delegates discussed the ques-
tion at some length. and left it where
they had found IT, in the hands of the
National Board, which recently de-
creed that the question of permitting
mixed dancing in Y. w. c. A. rooms
was problem to be solved by each
branch for itself.
Miss Sarah d. Lowrie. of the CITY
Committee, pointed out that in the
tlree States represented at the con-
srence--Pennsylvan Delaware and
isryland-the association has a mem-
bership of $4,000 Mrs. Charles n.
ddson presided at the conference
which ended yesterday.

association at the conference included
