Just as the bunny hug" and the
turk ey- -trot" had their origin in the
dance halls of the Barbary Coast and
other sections which would hardly be
regarded as respectable. the "shimmy"

The name Of this dance. while bear

from the French .chemise." as applied
to a rather intimate article Of feminine
underwear. The Negro tongue, being
unable to master the true Gallo sound,
translated the word into its own dialect
as "shimmy," and the expression Shake
yo' shimmy, hon, shake yo' shimmyl :
has been common throughout the South
for many years. The recent popularity
of jazz music, coupled with the muffed
and almost barbaric tones of the
blues" has given added impetus 10 the
Negro dances. Little by little these
movements have made their way-tirst
into the dance halls of the whites. then

in the final analysis. shaking the

LETTERS OF TESSlE AND JOE

Dear Tessie;
! wouldn't by any means take II for
granted that the babys sudden emotion
when he sees red proves that he's got
socialist tendencies and Will grow up TO
he a parlor Bolshevk with about as
much liking for work as a plumbers 8
assistant Because on the contrary II
might merely be an indication that he's
going to be a stock broker and bull
on the market. (Joke)
But if you want 10 find out if he's
really a natural born socialist I'd ad-
wise you TO try a little experiment. Show
him a cracker and make him under
stand you want to divide il up with him.
If he grabs it all and sits on it there's
the making Of a first class socialist
in him.
Something's been bothering me late
ly. i've always had the reputation Of
being an open handed guy far removed
from the hard boiled egg family, but
now that I've got a little private stock
and not exactly what you might call
advertising for all my friends and well
wishers to come and help themselves.
I'm afraid maybe my rep as a glad
hand artist VIII sort Of lose it's lustre.
So I'll tell you what you can do Get
a small flask without any label on il
and fill il from my private stock. Then
when anybody drops in you can trot
out this flask without a label and offer
them some with a kind Of an apologize
look, at the same time admitting that
you cant consciendously recommend
the brand and making a few little off
hand remarks about the number of cases
Of wood alcohol poisoning that are stiIl
in the papers. If they take advantage
Of my hospitality after that they're just
plain fools and didn't deserve a good
drink IN the first place.
