taking the dance, as well as song.
into the war zone How Tar l. will
penetrate no one knows. but with
the impetus gained thus far it
should penetrate 10 the advance
hospital bases at least.
First night aboard. q young
American asked the CHIEF steward
where dances were held.
He frowned with his shaggy eye
brows and growled from beneath
his formidable upper lip decoration
"a great deal about the world be-
ing in the business OF war and
these not being dancing times. The
young American backed and asked
timidly:
Well where do they dance in
peace times aboard ship?"
Days passed, smooth days with
scarcely a vibration or a roll 70 the
ship.
Last night the steward stopped
his questioner.
BY God. old top" he said j
was all wrong about that; they are
dancing 10 beat hell"
They are.
Quartet for Music
As this is being written a soldiers
string quartet is playing in the din
ing room on the deck below. Os-
tensibly they are practicing TOR
concert sche duled for tomorrow
night. But certainly. somewhere
nearby. wherever space is availab bic.
a few couples are one-stepping their
way toward the war.
There have been four official"
dances in five days. There is a Sun
day i'm every week The official
dance Is in a space cleared in the
center Of the dining room, with a
captain orderly as master OF cere-
monies 10 blow his whistle for Paul
Jones and the like, and a band. II
starts about S:15 or $50 and lasts
until 10. A lot Of time was lost
in intermissions, so last night a rat
Ting good piano player was called
in.
Music Continuous.
After that II was continuous mu-
sic. When the band grabbed the
iead away from the piano. another
dance had started. Very efficient;
absolutely no lost time
The band. which has been pre-
scented with a purse for its patriotic
endeavor. also plays up forward at
certain times each day. And If
young America grows tired Of wait
ms for another dance, Capt.
Skippy has found a gramaphone
and a stack of records. which he
orders American majors and even
colonies help him transport from
one part Of the ship TO another.
S p. m.-The dance will go into
the war zone. but for the present
il is censored. An official order
now prevents the nurses dancing
Official orders contain a minimum
of explanatory matter - perhaps
We're nearing the danger zone.
The handholders' union has been
organized in the lounge above. One
must have some kind of amuse-
ment.
