nounced the old dances would prevail
and be featured ut the big nntional
American Legion convention. MIR.
Schleppey, who fitted out Spanish Fort
park as a second Nice for entertain
ment of the, Legion members, prepared
his programs with all the care and
caution any Beau Brummel Of 30 years
ago would exercise. Said he:
''The waltz and the minuet and the
Virginia reel breathe of the spirit OF
the old South. And they are the
dances of beauty, Of real sentiment,
of soothing strains. l have noticed
that the dancing masters Of the nation
seek to do away with the atrocious
jazz dancing Of the present. And l
have heard that the country is pre-
pared to welcome the waltz back as
IT'S principal terpsichorean pleasure.
So decided that the American Legion
dancers would receive my announce
ment enthusiastically. They did, They
approached the fact that 1t would be
Of typical Southern atmosphere to
dance the old dances that were so
popular with the bellies and beanx OF
the South"
Mr.. schleppey also devised a magni-
ficent nightly fireworks and battle
scene display for the, entertainment OF
convention guests.

These he catalogued as first, dis

and personnel; second, one type OF
American citizen found in each state,
and third. general enthusiasm toward
educational work and community serv-

In speaking Of the improvement In
delegations to the state conventions,
care was taken to explain that SUBJ
jects were more clearly defined than
In the past, the committees stepped
forward with their work in more con-
fdence, the machinery ran smoother
and altogether capable leadership was
asserting itself, more and more.
An illustration was given:
I'm two states faetlOnal fights haa
been waged," the national adjutant
said. "They threatened to split the
departments, but those fights never got
to the floor of the convention. The
trouble was ironed out In conferences.
Leaders made concessions, all for the
general welfare and progress OF the
legion.
"The spirit of the elections was not
the best fellow, but the best man.
and this keynote was struck In each
Of the five conventions"
"There Is no question but what the
Legion is more efficient today In Min
nesota, Washington. California, Col
orado and Kansas than 1t was a year
ago" he said,
Paying q tribute to the Kansas de-
partment, he told Of the American
Legion there taking keen interest In

acting as guardians and big brothers.

not only In the work being done, but

The determination of the Colorado
legion to see that the hospitals for
former service men in that country are
properly maintained was outstanding,
also the LegiOn's declaration that the
benefits of that department be confined

and to the disabled, always. Along
with this the point was made plain

LATE HOURS

The wee small hours ayant the twall.-
Burns.
WHY is it that the dances you
w dance-Or once danced-after
one o'clock always seem so much more
stimulating and joyous than the
dances that you dance while the night
is still young?
1t may be that it is only after we
have been dancing for some time that
we get really into the swing of it. or
perhaps we can find the explanation In
the old truism that stolen sweets are
best, and that it is only because we
have a feeling that we are robblng
ourselves of our sleep that we enjoy
these early morning dances.
The fact Is that while the war lasted
our dances were shorter. And some
people went so far as to predict that
we could never go back to the old-time
custom of dancing or allowing our
daughters and sons to dance until AL
hours" of the morning. But the
armistice had not been signed many
days before dances were lasting long
or and now all the old-time enthus-
iasm for dancing till dawn seems to
have been revived. AT least sucn seems
TO he the case in many parts of the
country and In Washington and New
York more than one hostess mas
served breakfast to her late dance
quests at about five in the morning
after a dance. And this breakfast, be
il known, consists Of nothing less
hearty than coffee, rolls and sausages.
During war days the dances began
earlier, but now the hour has been
SET ON to ten o'clock in Il good many
cases. This means supper at mid
night or somewhat la,er. OF course
many people feel that they have tar
ried long enough if they linger until
after supper, but the dance enthus-
iasts-the young folk-linger on in the
good old-fashioned way.
Whatever your own taste for lale
hours may be. however, you should al
ways make sure that you are not out
staying your welcome and just because
company of young persons become
more interested in their dancing as
the hours advance is no reason why
they should impose on the good nature
of n hostess who has not planned for
such n late breaking up of her party.
In general. 1t Is safe to assume that II

Geraldine is one such and her history
dates back to the days when Valkyries
drove their splendid chariots over the
fields of conflict in the land of the
midnight sun. 1t means spear
mower" thus making its fortunate
nossessor one of the company of battle
maids so honored by those of Scan

From Norway and Sweden, the fore
runner of Geraldine made It's appear
ance among the Anglo-SaXons as 81.
Gerhold. which was stralghtway
changed to Gerald and because OF the
sanity reputation of its first bearer
the masculine name became enormous
Iv popular in England, where 1t Is
still favorite in the aristocratic
class. "AIorte d'Arthnr" added to the
vogue of Gerald, since Gareth, or Gar
rat Knight of the Round Table, was
said to be the equivalent for Gerald.
