Downfall of Working Girl Caused by
Society's Fancy Dances.

Philadelphia, May THAT the eff
fort of the working girl to follow the
example of her society sister, especial
ly in dancing the turkey trot and other
freik dances, does more to wreck the
lives of working girls than the low
wages paid them, was the assertion
made by Charles Vein at the National
Association of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers.
.'The turkey trot and bunny hug
have had far more, to do. in recent
years with the downfall of factory
girls than the scale of wages he said.
