New York, Aug. 14.-Men with
hard eyes, faltering footsteps, gray
ing hairs, and tendency to portli-
ness are the cause OF the six-by-ten
dance floors in the popular 'late-at-
night supper clubs.
They are consistent habitues of
the intimate clubs that cater to the
night-life throng. Young men can
not stand the financial strain of this
expensive entertainment. Only men
of age and years of struggling to
attain the pocket full Of big bills can
peer at the mornings check with it's
high convert charge and higher
charge for charged water with an air
of Eunconcern.
The nearest these youthless men
come to activity is keeping an alert
eye on the young, frivolous girls
WHO accompany them.
When the orchestra starts playing
a few ambitious couples arise for
the struggle. That's where the old
men hide bunions, gimpy legs, rheu-
matte muscles and corpulent bellies
They complain that there is not

| colorful companions agree. After all,
few of the older generations can

bruising an ankle or two.
The manager Of a supper club that
boasts of well-known orchestra re-
lates that when he opened his club
with a large dance floor, the guests
| were few and far between. Instead
, of taking out tables, he added many.
And he placed them on the dance
| floor. Business Immediately picked
up.
Within a week it was impossible
! to dance in comfort, but the club
| was packed. People, who swore on
