dance, he appears on time. Be-
cause the dance is formal, he brings
an inexpensive corsage with him.
He knows that the corsage will 60
well with Betty's gown because he
checked up in advance.
Also a thoughtful person, Betty is
ready and waiting for her date
her party face smiling a welcome
when she greets him at the door.
While she pins the corsage into
place, Jack talks to her father and
mother.
Betty and Jack drive of together
to pick up Bill and Sue, and Bill is
waiting for them on the front porcn
when they arrive at his house. Sue
is ready when they call for her. So
that they won't have to wait for
her, Sue carries Bills corsage with
her. She'll fasten it to her gown at
the dance.
Arriving at the dance, Bill goes
inside with the two girls while Jack
parks his car. After wrestling with
the wheel, he goes inside and gets
Betty. If she's still in the dressing
room powdering the good old nose,
he doesn't dash off somewhere to
greet a bosom pal. but waits for
her in plain sight. Betty is his first
consideration.
And Betty, being an Al "date," :"
doesn't tarry in the lounge to de-
sign whole new face or to ex-
change blah-bla with Doris and
Jane. She emerges promptly, takes
Jacks arm, and together they greet
the club sponsors. At every dance
there are important people COR
chaperons) who should be greeted.
And What About
Filling Programs?
Because this is a program dance,
Jacks first duty as an expert escort
Is to make sure that all of Betty's
dances are taken. He himself takes
only the first, fourth, seventh and
last dance. The others are speedily
snapped up by other fellows. They
know a Smooth Number when they
see one.
Bill, however, is having more diff
ficulty in lining up partners for
Sue. Because she is a stranger,
knowing few of the men present,
Bill wisely plays politics. He goes
to other fellows who are expert
encing the same difficulty and
trades dances with them, helping
them out if they'll help him.
After each dance, the men take
the girls to their escorts or to the
headquarters of their crowd, or talk
with them until it's time for the
next dance. If they must leave their
partner alone, they find a place for
her to sit before excusing them
selves.
Jack and Betty and their friends
are all good dancers, but they don't
show off. Their dancing is smooth
They don't charge all over the floor
endangering life and limb.
They're good mixers, too. They
realize that dance is no place fol
exclusiveness. They enjoy talking
to other dancers on the floor wher
the music stops and they move from
group to group during intermissions
They remain until Home, Swee
Home is played. Then they say
goodnight to the important people
and dash off to Hamburger Harry!
