LANSING
 E;vvryboddy is glad they've got feet, but the peepi1 wich are aw1 the time dansing are g1addir than enybedy elts.- The feat is as usefi11 in dansing as the rnout his in. singing, aItho if most peepiI was asked which they wood rather lose, thare feet or thare mouth. they would proberly say thare feet, avn akkount of evryboddy has to eet.
 The peepil wich have the best time at danse are the wuns that pay to get in, beeing the dansers. The wuns that are paved to be thare, being the orxester. It must be fearse to set thare awl nite blowing a horn vile evvryboddy elts is jumping erround with sumboddy, unless you don't no how to danse, and then I gess it don't make eny diffrents.
 Thare woodent be eny sents to a danse if it wasent for the orkester If you see 2 peepil jumping up and down togethir without eny Inusick erround, you think thare krazy, wich they: proberIy are, but if you see 2 peepi1 jumping up and down to mu- sick, you no thare just 2 peepiI do- ing the fox trot.
 Evvryb oddly goz to danses mower days exsept the fol1oing:
 Peepi1 with roomatisz.
 Peeptl avn crutches.
 One-1egged peepi1- Peepi1 wich are II otinvited, Meny peepi1, ink1ooding my sister Gladdis, think the gratest inventors in the werId are the pepi1 that make up new steps to do in sum danse. They proberly think the next gratest inven- tor is Edison avn akkount of him in- venting the ferst fonograff for them l to danse by.
 The prinstpil kinds of danses are the one-step, the waltz and the foz trot.
 The one-step looks as if ? peepi l are running a race with eetch uthir l the rule beeing that the wun that get. l ahed has to run backwerds. l The waltz looks as if they was doing the saim thing after they get littl, 1 tired
 The fox trot looks like peepi1 try ing to Tern to fly togethir without no ing how. If foxes wetn erround 1ik thatthey wood be the funnyest animiI thare is.
