Dancing Delrs
DeviliSh Delight

p. s. Note: And so, in the Ian
guage Of Byron, "On with the
present? Where can a boy or girl
meet and talk with as many Of OPP
posite sexes as at dance? I have
no respect for the pure innocent
girl who has been kept so by lock
and key or constant surveillance OF
parents. | had far rather one OF
my boys would choose for his wife
a girl who has made a mistake and
learned better, one who knows men
and accepts him because she loves
him, than to marry some pure in
nOcent" who has no mind that can't
be trusted A girl does not think
constantly of immoral things on the
dancing floor. Each one has much
to do; they have to hear the music,
keep time and step, be as graceful
as possible and keep off of the 9TH
ers corns and hear what they say.
Teach young people to dance, to
sing, to play musical instruments
and give them a chance to learn
sense and to act sense; teach them
to work and play. Let them go,
and go with them and enjoy your
self too. If you tell people not to
20 to places the Devil is there, they
are sure to go and they wont look
for anything but the Devil until
they find him. 1t is my opinion,
Mr.: Taylor, there is much good and
much bad in all things. Occas-
sionally the parson runs away with
the deacons wife, so l say again,
LET us do all the good we can, in
all the ways we can, to all the peo-
pie we can, as long as we can"

"Of course with the prosperity that
