carried her home and summoned

oh. In my opinion. the dance is
the dry-rot OF society. In the ball
room liberties are taken that you
der any other circumstances or con-
ditlons; IL you did they would be
sufficient grounds for divorce. The
swinging of the corners and the
square dances brink the position of
the bodies in such attitude that II

You've got to face some facts. We

the other day where sitting out a
