A Twist of Figure Which a
Really Nice Young Girl
Should Not Attempt.

phenomenon, is directly caused and even
directly encouraged by her own mother.
And there's nobody but her mother to
blame.
MY committee, three months ago,
started out to explore the dark corners of
the bright spots of Hartford's public
dance halls with fear and trembling. Be-
cause these dances, you see, were those
crude dances to which you paid admis-
sion.
"Well, that was the mind we put on, my
committee and myself, when we started
out. Also we feared the managers of the
public dance halls. These ogres, we told
ourselves, would treat us very shortly.
'Then what did we really find? We
found, at the public places, sensible, dis
ciplined young business girls, dancing in
tweed suits and sport shoes. The very
clothes showed that they came for fun, to
enjoy themselves. But they came so we'll
covered that all impropriety was out of
the question.
But we didn't take one public dance
hall as criterion of them all. Instead,
night after night, we parked our feelings
with our automobile, and we sailed up
to those public dance places through a
period Of two months or more.
I'VE found your ordinary dance man.

every case, more solicitous for the morals

want in a girl drinking and smoking.
And they are right ready to give US what
we want. Then, they see their mothers
sitting by with blind eyes. So they are
sure everything's all right.
But, Mrs. Tuttle, when blaming the
seventeen-year-old girl don't forget the
twenty-two-year-old young college man.
He is as willing and as eager and as
expectant to get the last sensual thrill
out of the crazy Slash Dance as is his
little sister, the sub-deb. He wants to go
as far as he can. 1t was only three years
ago that he was nineteen and baShful and
modest. He's been to college since. And
he feels drunk with the new freedom he
has developed in the three years."
Now, when Mrs. Tuttle is on this dance
subject she saves a word or two for the
"unco' guild" as Robert Burns called
them. That is for the "unco' guild" among
the modern dance critics.
81 am tired and disgusted and thor
oughly out of sympathy with the ministers
who preach against the dance on Sunday,
then sit piously down, moisten their lips,
and consider that they have done all that
they can. The modern dance evil doesn't
need prayers; it doesn't need sermons.
What it needs is action.
"You know | made a resolution a while
ago that from now on I was going to try
to better the dance and let my sermons
go.
"These ministers, these folk of the
pious prayer meeting, take Zest in re-
counting the dangers of the dance, to en-
joy, vicariously, the same sensual thrill
our young people get when they whirl
through its mad tortuosities. These good
folk haven't the moral courage to get up
and try the postures and the attitudes of
our brave, abandoned, dancing young
folk. Therefore these good people get
communicated glow, a secondary appease-
ment of their eager senses, by telling,
The Washington times., 1922-07-30

young folk open to correction?'
That's one solution. The other is one
l am going to try here in Hartford. I'm
going, in a way | can't tell you, to put
it right up to the young people them
selves.
In the meantime Mrs. Tuttle has formu-
lated five Don't of the Dance for girls,
which, she thinks, applied, would rid the
select dance of most of it's evils. Here
they are:
|. Don't smoke at the dance, at any
rate till you are twenty-five; then you're
old enough to smoke if you really must
2. Don't accept liquor no matter how
many pocket TASKS are placed at your ser
vice; at any rate don't drink till you are
at least twenty-five.
8. Never dance the close dancing,
breast to breast and cheek to cheek and
thigh to thigh; it's vulgar and, besides,
it's very homely
4. Shun the slash dance as you would
the black death; each are equally deadly.
5. And-while dancing don't lie in each
others arms.
In the meantime, most earnestly, Mrs.
Tuttle explains her ultimate point.
"All the objections raised against mod
ern Dances" says she, "are absolutely and
religiously true. But they only apply to
ten per cent or less of the entire young
people dancing. Only apply to the less
than ten per cent who are the cream of
our best families dancing in the frat
houses of the secret societies of our col
leges and high schools under the eye of
the apathetic matron who wants her Mary
to be as smart as her neighbor's Jennie,
even if she's got to transgress all the finer
decencies to achieve this smartness. For,
as we Hartford clubwomen found out, the
rank and file of our young dancers, espe-
cially in practically all of our public dance
places, dance well, BEAUTIFULLY and joy
ously, in a way that must benefit them;
in way that is joy to look upon"
The Washington times., 1922-07-30

of the dancers than the mothers of our
best families.
"T keep three men circulating among
the dancers all the time said one man.
ager to US, to watch out for liquor
"But l never heard of nice matrons
making any stir at all to prevent the
liquor being brought in in those pocket
TASKS by our young college men for pass
ing about to our young debutantes at the
fraternity affairs. | remember just re-
Gently talking with a college man of
twenty-five.
Now tell me- begged, Just what do
you think of these secret society dances"
"He smiled at me. And he lowered his
voice. Mrs. Tuttle,' said he, they are
wild parties. l don't deny. And the
worst danger of them all is the liquor.
Take girls, seventeen or so, who come
over here to Hartford to a dance. Their
particular man gives them several drinks
out of his pocket flask-and by the time
they are ready for the automobile and
the drive back to New Haven they are
also ready for anything. They will go
the limit anywhere, with any man. They
crave the limit. They even demand the
limit. Because they don't know what
they're doing. Since they are really nice
girls at heart only the liquor, an unac-
customed stimulant, has taken all their
sense away. And at the same time
whipped up in them hidden emotions they
had never suspected they possessed
"Then l asked him who's to blame?
and with mixed gallantry he split the
censure. The seventeen-year-old girl,
just out of the restraint of the sub-deb.,
is one of the parties to blame,' said he.
These girls are mad for freedom, from
irking at the discipline of their early
youth. And they think it's smart to
now Prohibitions

they think the fellows will approve
if they do. That's what they think we

rapturously, what shocking things young
folk do at these dances.
"'Why, they check their corsetsr one
will say.
GAS for me, shall never consider that
my little daughter, when she reaches dance
age, need necessarily check her morals
with her corsets.
Now, deploring the spineless chaperon
on the one hand and the severe dance
critic on the other, l have come to the
point where l think that the dance may
be saved by the fathers.
"Let US, therefore, usher in the era of
the stout-hearted male chaperon. Let us
welcome the new day of the masculine
patroness, with his lorgenette and his
direct made ways. One thing l know,
positively. Two or three good, hearty,
American fathers let loose through the
polite dances of our polite places for a
few months would change the whole thing.
