GREENHoRNs DANCE ALL NIGHT

GREENHORNS DANCE ALL NIGHT
Bowlus Advance {lD:-With the end
Of Lent comes the beginning of another
social season and one of the first events
is a dance. It has been suggested this
is good time to change the dancing
habits Of the community to agree with
the customs Of good society.
| For one thing it is agreed that any
person who isn't feeling we'll enough to
enjoy a dance without "bracing up on
moonshine ought to see doctor for
what ails him. An examination will
show that most cases of this kind are
feeble minded and should not be allow
ed to come and spoil good company.
Another class of characters that
ought to be eliminated arc those who
have to step outside once in a while
and yell like a locomotive on a grade
crossing. Such people only show that
they have more steam than their brains
can make use Of. In other words, they
have too much boiler capacity for their
engine power. They also prove that the
Indians aren't all in the north woods
And then, there are the ones who
never know when to quit and go home.
Usually they are the kind who are home
| raised. They have never been away
from where they were born more than
4S hours at a stretch and they don It
know any better. In the early days,
when the settlers had party, they
gathered at private house. They
came as soon after chores as they could.
They brought their babies with them
and while the parents danced, the bah
les slept in some corner. In order to let
the babies have their sleep out, the par
ents stayed till it was time for morn
ing chores. A lot Of the kids got the
habit of being out all night that way
and arena able to quit. They haven It
been out enough to learn that those
who have the best time at party are
those who quit" before they are played
out. In good society, it is customary
to dance till II o'clock, eat a lunch, put
on wraps, or maybe have Home, Sweet
Home waltz first, and then 90 home.
A green horn can be spotted every time
he begs the musicians for "just one
more.' With the opening Of new
social season, is good time to come out |
of the brush and show folks that we
know how to act.
We have nothing to say about how
long to sit On the porch or in the hall
with "sweetie, after taking her home.
That 8 strictly private affair.
