DANCING.

Friends have asked me 20 give my
opinion on the subject of dancing, and,
while I may not have very decided opin-
ions on various things, | am willing TO
say what | think and allow other people
to decide for themselves.
am not in favor of dance halls,
where some of the modern hugging
dances are i'm full flavor, and where
young men and young women dance con-
tinuously from o'clock to daylight In
the morning.
The mingling of the sexes is all we'll
enough in public places, but I should, If
had a daughter, draw the line at hug
ging dances, nor do I think it necessary
to elaborate this statement further at
this time and place. One of the most
fashionable (and oftentimes criticised
society women I ever knew made the
following remark to me: IF l had
Young daughter who went with dancing
escorts to a big dance | should not per-
nit her to go home after midnight with
her escort alone in the carriage with
him, especially if he had been taking
drink occasionally"
I accepted her statement at its full
value, and I am writing these words
down for the sake of thoughtless young
women who may be saved from painful
grandmother's loving advice.
LIDO not see any harm per sc in the
reels and quadrilles of I'VE olden time,
and as never danced the waltz or
modern dances heretofore mentioned, L
grant you am not able to sit on judg-
ment from personal experience, but !
agree with the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs, as expressed al the
biennial in San Francisco four years ago,
that a revival of the old dances would
be a good idea. Perhaps it would be a
good way of reforming the modern
dance. .
Many of our purest-minded and best
people are ardently in favor of dancing,
and insist that it is simply a question
of natural joyousness and fondness for
music, etc The fact that the sexes do
mingle and that young men prefer to
dance with young women rather than
with young men, should give these dance
advocates pause and time to think
Why should not there be popular dance
halls where the sexes do not meet and
I guess this question, properly answered
would be fine argument on the dance
problem.
