Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis- trict Supreme Court oday declined to interfere with the sale of the Shore- ham Hotel property at Fifteenth and H streets, to Harry Wardman and Thomas P.

CHICAGO, August 31.—Luxurlous public ballrooms, entertaining amuse- ! ment seekers who a decade ago would I have viewed a public dance with ele- | vated brows, have become in the last five years a notable part of Chicago's recreation facilities. The success of such ventures as are typified here in the Trianon and Ara- gon ballreoms and a dozen similar dance palaces is attributed by mana- gers to self-imposed restrictions which have removed the stigma from the public dance hall and have fore- stalled city regulation with its un- velcome element of police supervi- sion. Managers agree that the biggest factor in popularizing dancing has been the chaperon, system sponsored by them with the aid at first of the Juvenile Protectiva Association, a group of Chicago women. Voluntary Actlon Taken. An_ Italian fruit dealer complained fn 1921 that a neighborhood dance hall kept him awake, and Mrs. Elizabeth Crandall of the protective association suggested that the managers remedy conditions themselves before the city stepped in. Out of the meeting came the National Ballroom Association with Mrs. Crandall as secretary. “What can we do to make our dance halls more respectable?” the mana- gers asked, and a group of women studied the problem and made a re- port. “Speed up your music,” first suggestlon. Within 24 hours every orchestra in the ballroom group had doubled the was the motions were impossible at the brisk pace the music set and the managers found most of the bad dancing elimi- nated. The ‘chaperon system suggested itself as an outgrowth of the hostess devices employed during the war in Army camps. The chaperons agreed at outset that their methods must be tactful and not s The League of Chay . known as hostesses, have worked out plans of dance hall government by | which chronic offenders are made un- welcome at all the b people are urged to attend in group: and thousands do. But strangers may meet young men and women, intre duced by the hostess, to dance with them for the evening. Lately a youth entered a dance hall with a bulging hip. The chaperon did not call police nor the manager, but slipped up to the voung man and whispered, “Let me take that bottle.” He surrendered it sheepishly.
