Dancing Going QUIT Hardly.

Dancing Going Out? Hardly.
Some time ago there was good
bit Of space given to the fact that
dancing would soon be thing Of the
past. And here comes stern denial
OF the foolish idea. OF course II has
not exactly taken this aspect In Homo
lulu this summer, for there has been
at the rate of four dances a week
since the students returned for their
vacations. Here is what the San
Francisco Examiner has to say:
-Once in while we hear that the
long continued and yirulent dance cpl.
demic has run its course. That the
giides and slides and trots have had
their day; that their night IL at hand
and their stars setting.
For the sake of those who have
been alarmed by such announcements
we cheerfuily point to last weeks
/. dancing record. We recall the scene
at the Civic Auditorium Monday night.
That vast floor almost too crowded,
plenty Of dancing In the entrances and
Railways. There was nothing at that
party to suggest the decline Of dane
ing.
"What happened the following night
at the California building, where an
other ball was given In honor of the
visiting naval officers and midshipmen
from Annapolisl Why, twice as many
people came to the party as were ex-
pected. All Of the 5000 who received
invitations appeared and brought q
friend" And II was gay rollicking
party. with everybody keen for q
dance.
"The truth is. dancing has never
been more popular than 1t is right
now.
at once one observes that all the
talk about the intricacy of the so
called new dances. IL fiction, for the
dances that are danced rather than
discussed, continue to be the ever
popular waltz and hesitation waltz and
the simple one-step, the dancers ev0k-
ing beauty from the one-timed gro
tesqueness OF the once-reviled rag.
We are naturally 1.-THE graceful,
high-strung race, delighting In physi-
cal fitness, and in nothing Is this so
charmingly expressed as In the dance.
THE inherent good taste and we'll
balanced poise Of the vast majority OF
weIi-bred people makes the ballroom
q clearing house for good manners.
'WhateYer does not conform to this
ideal is taboo. Popularity never rests
permanently on the freakish. That Is
why the dance has become 90 prettily
simplified.
