Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-01-10

1t is good to get back to normal
cy," after all the excitement of the
holidays and their consequent dis
turbance of ones habits. L know
just how glad you girls were to get
back to school, even though you said
you hated to do it. A routine, which
is another word for a regular pro-
gram, is the only healthy scheme TO
live by. Excitement is stimulating
and beneficial only occasionally. And
that is why we are all glad to get
back to work.
Today's mail brought me a
Betty" letter that l was glad to re-
ceive. Here it is:
Dear Mary G.:
Some of us high school girls who
go together a lot want to start a
club. We don't want it to be a lit
erary club, because most of us be-
long to one in connection with
school. We want to do something
that is fun, and meet on Saturdays,
and have it SO interesting that we
don't have to have boys.
Most of us are just crazy about
dancing, but that would be rather
funny, wouldn't it, to get up a girls
dancing club?
"If o could help US out with
some idea for our club, we should
just love it.
1--WE are all SO tickled about the
Five-Fifteen.
Sincerely yours,
BETTY MATAWAN."
Betty Matawan would you girls be
interested in having your club a
class in interpretive dancing? l
know some girls who do that very
thing on Saturday afternoons. They
have about a dozen girls, l believe,
and they have for their instructor
! a girl not much older than them
| selves, a mighty nice girl who is TAX
ing up interpretive dancing as her
| profession, and who goes into the
| city twice a week for dancing les
| sons from a teacher whose name is
| known everywhere. She pays an
enormous sum for her lessons, and is
| teaching classes nearby her home
town to help pay for her own les
sons. I have seen her with her
| classes, and she is a good little
teacher, and a mighty nice girl.
Talk it over with your crowd and
| with your mothers, and If you want
any information from me, write me
in care of THE EVENING NEWS
enclosing a stamped, self-addressed
| envelope, and I will gladly write you
personally.
I love to see girls doing these
beautiful interpretive dances. They
are so graceful, and the girls always
look so happy when they are dane
ing.
Another Betty wrote me this week
Here is her letter:
my dear Miss Mary G.:
my chum Glayds K. and | have
| been talking about Mary G.. and
wondering what you are like. We
have a bet about whether you are
young or whether you are old and
married. Won't you tell us which?
1--WE are both enjoying the Girls
! column very much, only we wish II
| came every day instead of just once
a week. Gladys is writing a story to
| send for next week. / think it is
! pretty good, as far as she has gone
| with it. She reads me what she has
written, every afternoon about i've
| fifteen. Some of the girls r get
ting awfully excited about our secret
that takes place every day at the
! same time. It's lots of fun to SCI
| them trying to guess what it is
writing notes in stuC. hour ano
everything.
Good bye for this time,
BETTY B."
Perth Amboy, N. j."
Betty , you wouldn't be half SO in
| ~terested in Mary G.. if you knew
| Just what she looked like or just
how old she was, or whether she
! was married.
I will tell you something about her
| however. If you would like her best
as young and pretty with fluffy
| blonde hair, why, then she is that
If you would like her better older
| with gray hair and a sweet, quiet
| kind manner, why, then she is that
| Or If you would like her athletic anc
hearty and jolly and not married
why, then she is that. In short
Mary G.. is just the kind of person
you would like to &c and have
good talk with over a cup of tea, a
Five-fifteen.
Today we shall make an exception
and admit a man to our tea tabli
circle, girls, let me introduce,
''The Snow Man"
We made a snow man yesterday.
He was Just as nice al he coult
be.
He was not long on silhouette,
His hands were thick and cold ant
wet,
His mouth is large, his eyes aren'
straight,
His waist line measures forty
eight
But he's so jolly, though not
svelte,
That we shall grieve when he doe

We like your now man, B. x. w
and will be on the lookout for him
