! Some OF Nauvoo's people ought to
| turn the fight of time backwards
! some Of these nights and hold an old
fashioned fddler's and dancers con-
| test and next Fourth of July would be
a fine time to pull of the event
! There are some here who could enter
| the contest as "the only double-shuf-
| f1ers who could wipe the soles of their
shoes on the calves OF their legs and
keep on dancing without missing
! single STEP" We submit that the
tango is a tame and colorless per-
| Torrance compared with this. There
must be supreme artistry in the abil-
| ity to tap the twin rhythm OF
double-shuffle and at the same time
massage the muscle Of the calf with
the sole, not the toe. mind. you-but
the sole Of ones foot. Certainly is
nothing like it In the make. the fur
lana or any other Of the modern gyra-
lions staged on the dancing floors. A
dance built around that famous
double-shuhle. sole and calf move
ment ought to be able to check the
rage for these insipid foreign impor-
| tations.
