The follotptna 8 q letter to the Editor:

Should the girl desire she may
attach q willing male to escort her
home after the dance or return
alone or in group as she came.
Bureau Dances Problem
When some Of the Government
departments give dances for their
employees the problem of an escort
again arises. Those girls without
escorts who can swallow their
pride, as it were, go in punches
or pairs to the danceS-hcping
that somebody will ask them to
dance or that they will meet some
one there who will ask them for
a date in the future.

European Plan Urged
This can be done. he thinks.
by following the truly cosmopoli-
tan, continental cities Of some of
the old countries.
For example in Germany,
France, Austria and other coun-
tires known for their SophiSti-
Gated coSmopolites and their
glamourous cities one may find
cafes of all descriptions to meet
the needs of their patrons. In
stead Of rushing in for a hurried
meal the attached and unat-
tached males or females may
Saunter leiSurely in and spend
an entire day or evening imbib-
ing wine or beer. On each table
is a telephone that can be easily
connected with any table in the
room. Thus If a man sees a
lady that meets the fancy of his
eye he may talk with her over
the phone or send waiter with
q note to make the acquaintance.
The lady may either accept or
refuse as she desire"
Should the lady accept the
strangers invitation to dine, dance
or chat, there is no superciIious
lifting of the eyebrows by the on
lockers. It is accepted as excel
lent taste. The woman is not
open to criticism, suggestions or
propositions because she chats
with a strange man. Neither does

salaried girls disdain the glorified
gigolo service for a method OF
their own.
Affluent ladies Of the town re

But the working girl goes where
she likes in quest of fun without
an escort when none Is available
BY checking through the tele'
phone directory and recalling past
experiences, one debonair man
about-town pointed out approx
mately 100 places in and near the
city where Q girl might go safely
unescorted to dance for nominal

Variety Of Places
These places range from the
exclusive cocktail lounges to the
KNOCK -down-and-drag-out" variety,

dances three nights weekly. With
q girl friend, who had the card
required for admittance, I Joined
the throngs Of other girls and
embarrassedly entered with no
male escort
Boys are required a card and rs
censt to enter the dance. A few
dancers come with partners. but
the majority come alone or in
groups Of their sexes.
Scanned Like Traders
Upon entering the ballroom ]
saw the boys congregated on one

on the other-each scrutinizine
each other as carefully as a gypsy

expects to buy.
Some girls go In evening attire

Like Washington's Community Chest,
the organization through its agencies
in these cities finance hospitals, youth
organizations and settlements spon-
sored by all faiths, a. well as business,

Because Of the universality and na.

radio hook-up tomorrow night to open
the mobilization, which will extend
to mid-November. Mrs. Roosevelt is a
vice chairman Of the National Citizens
Committee, headed by Charles p. Taft,

the mobilization.
The mobilization appeal will bs
both to mass and class. From 40
900 to 50.000,000 persons in the
1913 cities heretofore have taken q
personal interest in their Community
Chests. Three-fourths Of the givers
are working men and women whose
gifts average under SIS each. How
ever, So per cent Of the monies raised
comes in gifts of sl0o or more and
II per cent of 1t comes IN big gifts
Of $4,000 or more.
Some $500 local organizations are

as the Boy and Girl Scouts. the Red

fected by the strike. Many cargo ves-
sells, however, are due in these ports

C. w. Bartlett OF Jacksonville,
