agree with you that O good
dance does no one any harm.
Girls do not as a general
rule take their first stop on
the downward path through
the dance hall, but through
their employer. Why? De-
cause they are not paid
enough to live on decently.
have q sister who Is a
stenographer working some
times for three and four law
yers and receives So a week.
If she didn't have "a home to
go to, what would she do?
/ have applied for posi-
lions several times in our
own department stores, and
when i found out the wages
paid Ca dollar a day and
less) / would ask how 1 was
expected to live on that?
SWELL" the manager would
say, ''yOu are a nice looking
girl, it wouldn't be difficult
for you to earn your living,
haven't you a man friend or
two?" Nice insult, isn't it?
Or sometimes they would ask
If / lived at home, and of
course IL l didn't, 1 wouldn't
get the job.
Yet the same men will
hand out $25 or $50 every
once in awhile to help a
church along or send foreign
missionaries when they need
that money right here at
home. The heathens are SO
far advanced that they are
coming over to America to
teach the Americans now.
Then our Good Citizen will
wonder why we have so many
bad girls, when they are
helping as much as they can
to make them bad.
Our churches could linz
prove a whole lot too, in the
social line. I have seen
girls come in our own church
and just because they were
not dressed as nice as 9TH
ers or couldn't put as much
money in the contribution
box, they got the s'cold
shoulder" And this is an
other reason they go away
and go to the motion picture
shows and the bad instead of
the church.
So / think IL our employ
ers will open their eyes q
little, they will see where
they can help the working
girls from going astray. Hop
ing for better results, L am
JUST A WORKING GIRL.

Origin of the Dance.

Origin of the Dance.
Dear Miss Grey: 1 would
like to answer "Peggy's" let
ter in regard to dancing. She
speaks so disrespectfully in
regard to the Indians dane
ing that l would like her to
tell me IL she knows any
thing about how dancing
started.
She seems to think our
dancing started from the
Greeks, and that it was mere
ly an exercise. IL she but
knew it, the modern dancing
is not what it originally was,
while the Indian dance is,
and although they may have
ungraceful gestures, their
crouching does not i'm any
way resemble a Texas Tom
my, Turkey Trot, or Tango;
nor did she ever see in a
true Indian dance q chief
with his arms around q
squaw.
In case she does not know
and cares to find out, "mOd-
ern dancing" originated from
the same source that the In
dian dance has, and was nei-
ther an exercise nor pastime,
nor a means whereby to seek
grace; but a celebration in
commemoration of a time
when civilization was de-
strOyed by fire.
