At least, that is the program
of the American conclave of

slogan the conclave adopted to-

the dance hall. The "wishbone"
hold will take the place of the
strangle. eve recommend
manner of holding a dancing
partner whereby the girls hand
rests lightly on the hand Of her
partner and her left elbow rests
on his left elbow" said Louis H.

clave. "Only his thumb and
forefinger are pressed against
her back"
The conclave will undertake

It seems that a dancing college
boy halts and leans backward,
extending one foot into the air

close to him, and that the torso
