A woman with a gift for rhyming
has been attending some of the dances
and making her observations. AS
result, she sends me the following
lines:
In Milwaukee, so I'm told.
The girls are taught the safety hold
In dancing-sO they say.
To keep too ardent man at bay.
But in this quiet town of ours
With leap year stuff and healthy dowers
1t doesn't seem so safe TO be
timid youth with whole heart free.
