IL we haven't partner. All the girls
do. We hardly know what II is to &C
to a private dance. The dances we &c
to are the kind where everyone knows
everyone else. and anyway we have
our regular dancers that are in our
own crowd. Now, Miss Brooks. do you
think 1t improper to go to these dances
You must remember that our dances
are not like the city dances where one
does not know every one present viii

% Perhaps 1 have not stated as often
as l should in my answers regarding
the public dance, that there are excep-
tions to all rules, and in all cases.
Nevertheless it is very true, and applies

a public affair does not enter as a |

now in the very small town everyone
knows everyone else and the dance is
just nice, social gathering. But not
all towns are small enough for this
and while every town of whatever size
has its crowds who chum together,
there is always some who look upon
the public dance as free for ali"
place to mix, regardless of whether
they are all acquainted or not. To
these 1t means simply a place to 'have
4 good time" in their own way Many
girls do not seem to be quite sure that
they should not dance with everyone
who invites them to do SO, and this
1rst false step makes on opening for
careless and Indifferent treatment
