II we haven't a partner. All the girls
do. We hardly know what 1t is to &c
to a private dance. The dances we go
| 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
you please give me your opinion on
this subject? (2) I read some place
that olive oil was good for the eye
lashes. to make them long and curly.
Is this treatment injurious to the eyes?
Thanking you in advance. l remain
your true admirer,
ALICE, Willard County, Ut.
You are indeed most welcome, Alice
% Perhaps 1 have not stated as often
as 1 should in my answers regarding
the public dance, that there are excep-
lions to all rules, and in all cases.
Nevertheless 1t Is very true, and applies
to every subject under discussion. l
very well know that some girls can go
to almost any place and seem instinc-
lively to know how to conduct them
selves In order to command the respect
of everyone present. You are doubt
less one of these girls, and to these the
undesirable element so often present at
public affair does not enter as a
factor. 1 can readily understand also.
how in the very small town everyone
knows everyone else and the dance Is
just a 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 a FREQ for all'
place to mix, regardless of whether
they are all acquainted or not. To
these 1t means simply place to have
a 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
first false step makes on opening for
careless and Indifferent treatment
thereafter by those inclined to do so.
My remedy for these conditions would
not be so much in condemning and do
ing away with the public dance by hav-
ing the girls remain away, as 1t would
be to refine and raise it's standard. This
could be accomplished to great ex-
tent by the parents and elder members
Of the family attending, indicating by
their presence their interest in seeing
to 1t that their girls (and boys) were
receiving courteous treatment, and
moro important still see to it that it
at a reasonable hour. / hope
The above will make 1t clear to you why
advise against the public dance. (2)
Olive oil as well as various other things
along this line do help some, but the
process is very slow and requires much
patience and systematic effort 1t Is
lot injurious to the eyes.
