ETIQUETTE
AT DANCE
mrs. Cornelius Beeckman
nEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ We are a. club of young
girls and most of us are just be-
ginning to go to public dances
with boy friends Will you give
usFthe following advice?
When you go to a dance with
a young man and have given
him a dance. or two, should you
ask him if he cares if you dance
with another young man?
When you do not care to dance
with someone, what is the proper
way to refuse him?
A CLUB OF YOUR READERS.
MO. this would not be making
IN yourself an appreciative or
mannerly guest. If you go to the
dance with the young man. he is
your host and 1t is not polite
for you to suggest leaving him
in this blatant fashion. How
ever. l do not mean that you
need to dance every dance with
him just because you went to
the dance with him. But you
should wait until another friend
comes to you to ask for dance.
Then youl acknowledge the host
ship of your partner by saying
to him, as you rise to dance,
"Will you excuse me, pleaSe?"
just as you would excuse your
self when leaving any host. The
new partner also should &C.
knowledge the fact that the gen
tleman with whom you are is

mind?" or Thank you very
much for letting me have this
dance or some other phrase
that will be courteous.
This is a very difficult thing
to do. AS matter of fact,
it. is almost an impossible thing
to. do. If, a girl is at a dance,
she is there to dance. and there
fore If she refuses a dance she
is not refusing the dancing but
the man who is. inviting her.
Therefore, il she really insists
upon not accepting the dance,
all that she can do is to say that
she is tired and that she wishes
to rest. Then she must not
dance that dance, but should go
to the dressing room and swait
until the dance is over. For her
to dance with one man after she
has refused to dance with an.
other. Is most impolite thing for
her to do, and no girl should
allow herself to do 1t.
A Gift to a Mutual Friend
nEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
~ My friend and have been
going about together for almost
a year. A very dear friend of
ours is getting married. VIII it
be proper for us to give them a
present together? c. M"
TT WOULD be better form for
each one to give a separate
present.

Supports Students

PEKING, June, 9.-The yernacular
newspapers report that General Feng
Yu-Hsiang, Christian general has is
sued a circular dispatch supporting the
student agitation against foreigners and
also that he has wired Chang Tso-Lin,
Manchurian war lord, urging that the
military leaders cooperate with each
other and with the nation to obtain
"the rights Of the Chinese people"

dents to refrain from violence. Strik-
