Should Girls Dance?

Dear Cynthia-In reference to w. Nj.
MS letter about dancing I would say
the best girls are found in the homes.
For girls or boys to attend these So
called dance halls is. in my opinion
out of the question.
But attending a party where there is
dancing is perfectly permissible. and
also dances that are chaperoned are
all right. But. Miss w. M. NJ, stay
at home as your parents say and every
thing will turn out tip-toply.
