America Is Already
Tuning Against

mans attitude toward his partner
while dancing. Good taste demands
that gentleman stand reasonable
distance from his partner, and that
he show due consideration in lead
ing her through the different steps.
Thoughtlessness on the part of both
lady and gentleman in taking out
landish positions is responsible for
most of the criticism directed
against modern social dancing.
"All exaggerated movements, espe-
cially of the upper part of the body,
are in very bad taste in social dane
ing and are never found with true
refinement and culture. Couples
dancing with their faces together
show such extreme bad taste that
it should be unnecessary even to call
attention to it."
"All in ALL" says President Fenton
Bolts, "the campaign has done much
to cleanse modern dancing. but
jazz the root sff it all, has done
more to eliminate itself than all the
campaigns.
"The American jazz craze has
been like popular celebration-for
day or two all is enthusiasm, flags
and speeches. Soon it wanes and
dies its natural death"
Jazz, he believes, is now dying
that natural death, and European
nations which so quickly adopted the
American craze will see its Ameri-
can demise spread across the seas.
Jazz has had its day.

added. What would tens of thou

York if they were not permitted to
go somewhere, meet socially, and
dance? If the places where these
people meet are decent there can be
no finer, more healthful or enjoy
able recreation anywhere"
What do you consider good or
bad positions in dancing?" he was
asked.
at is difficult to illustrate posi-

see with glance over the dance
floor whether positions are good or
bad. When you take hold of a girl
to dance, common sense and decency
should prompt your position. If your
attitude toward her is proper, you
will not crush your body against
hers nor place your cheek against
hers.

r CLIMBED the ladder tt
the top shelf, pulled out
an ancient book, rubbed
its faded title gently with
his shabby sleeve and pressed the
volume affectionately to his bosom.
Then, with more black smudges on
his serious face, already streaked
with dust from his afternoons
proving among the dilapidated
shelves, he climbed down and stood,
heaving a sigh.
1t was secondhand bookstore in
a basement in Broadway, near Bowl
ing Green, one of the few Ravens of
old books which has elected to linger
IN lower Manhattan while its fell
lows have gone northward to the re-
gions around Ann Street, Vesey
Street and Fourth Avenue, near
Astor Place, on a march toward
East F'ifty-ninth Street, which
seems destined to become a new CEN
ter in the secondhand book trade.
From the World of Books
He was a thin old man, with
scant white locks and a countenance
enriched with deep lines which life
long study had put there. His eyes,
seen through the thick lenses of his
spectacles, were baby-blue and had
about them an expression of credu-
lous simplicity, as if throughout his
career he had never quite compre-
hended the ways Of the world.
Out of his ragged pocket pro-
truded large, crumpled handker-
chief which he extracted and ap-
piled for the removal of the dust
from his hands and face. The vol
ume which he had taken from the
top shelf he now placed with other
books stacked up in little pile at
the end of a table. Having doled
out to the salesman, with trembling,
hesitant fingers, the price asked for
the books-$2.75 for five books-he
removed his spectacles, meanwhile
gazing at his chosen volumes with a
look, affectionate yet worried. The
look of worry increased as if some
thing were gnawing at his heart.
"Can't get 'em in my pockets!" he
muttered. Then, putting them, one
by one, beneath his coat, until they
produced conspicuous bulge on each
side of him, he stopped as one help
less and bewildered. "No," he con-
tinued, despairingly, cant do that,
either! Can't take 'em home under
my coat"
On the other side of the table,
within easy earshot of the old man,
stood stranger, who out of idle
curiosity had strolled into the base
ment book store for the first time.
The stranger evinced some surprise
at the old mans bizarre desire to
stow the books under his coat.
Cant take 'em home under your
coat!" exclaimed the stranger. ''Do
you mind telling me why you should
wish toA take 'em home concealed
under your coat?"
A wan smile crept over the old
mans face. From his throat came a
pathetic laugh, kind of chortle, as,
still wiping his spectacles, he sat
down on a step Of the ladder.
The Temptation of Books
ut must be that you are different
from me-" he said. II thought all
of us who frequent secondhand book
stores were alike. l know a lot of
