n only tho gallant woocrs of their
,sdyloves would not wear their hearts
uuon their sleeves so evidently. it
would be a relief would 1t not? Several
NJ us were treated to lovely little
scene at n dansant in one of the fash
Ionable hotels quite recently and all
because one attractive lad asked
charming girl to trip the light fantastic
with him and she scnsibly accepted
And why not, for after all he danced
very well and the time for dancing
only with the man of your heart has
long since passed. only in the dance
halls where the girls go with their
"sentlemen friends" do we hear of
such rivalres and icalousics. Among
the elite one dances with every man
unless there Is some we'll known objec-
tion TO him. Indeed, if girl refuses.
unless she is not dancing at all, it is
almost regarded as an insult.
Well, the poor small girl in question
started to dance with Fred before tho
one who evidently regarded himself as
her beloved arrived and was having a
fine time, when beloved" appeared on
the tapis (metaphorcally speaking),
and to express it mildly, there were
words! Before we had time to learn
all about it, all three left the sacred
precincts and I only hope it ended
there, for the poor little girl looked
awfully upset and mortified. For my
part / would have said "a sad but
final farewell" wouldn't you?
We are all looking forward To the
Tourney of JOY" which will come off
tonight at the Bellevue -Stratford and
which promises to be a great success.
The girls and men who take part in
this annual little song and dance af-
fair for the benefit of the Northern
Home for Fricndless Children are ex-
ceptonally good for amateurs, l must /
say and there is usually a great deal I
Of go to their performances.
Tonight the plot is sort of Morality /.
Idea in which Grace and JOY and I
Beauty and various other characters !
will prance gaily about and the Moral |
ity will be largely interspersed with |
vaudeville, from all have heard about .
It. Leon Downing has done the coach I
Ing and most of the writing of the .
score and he deserves credit for it,
without doubt
