Mrs, Charles H. Israels | \ word not found in| arranged a conference of this committee with other civic organizations | to plan laws for the regulation of dance halls, summer amusement places and dancing academies. They propose that all public dancing academies shall be licensed. Liquor is not to be sold on the same floor, Mon spiclers who have no visible means of livelihood are to be excluded. Mrs. Israels reported that out of twenty-four dance halls inspect: | ed fifteen were attended by immoral women, whose presence and asso- ciation tended to demoralize working girls, The cale of liquor in connection with dancing is also demoralizing. If the sale of liquor and indecent dancing were prohibited she thought the situation would be improved. tes kil PARTNERS MusT NOT HOLD THEIR FACES CLOSER THAN 6 INCHES NO one i ALLOWED TO cance | rans HOB NAILED) SHoes 71) It is unfortunate that there is no authoritative detinition of spiel- er and spicling. It seems somewhat unjust to class epieling with inde cent dancing and to assume that a male spieler is presumably an unde- sirable person for a working girl to associate with. The usual understanding of the word spiel ‘s to dance with a steady, rotary motion, the extended arms marking time more or less accurately with the music, The male spicler has also a tendency to hunch his back when dancing, bringing his face closer to the girl’s| than if he stood up straight. The advantage of spicling is that it enables a great many couples to dance at one time on a small floor. ‘lo dance with extended steps, to reverse frequently and to hold the arms rigid would require more ‘floor space. Tf liquor is not to be sold in connection with an east side dance, what §s to be done about the big balls at the Waldorf, the P’ Square Garden and elsewhere, for which a ticket costs as much as a orking girl’s week's wages. A lor the evil of immoral women at- tending a respectable ball, that is more flagrant at some uptown balls than at the east side dancing schools. The working girls of New “York are as moral and trious a class as there is in this community, Before the Legisla- ture should undertake to regulate their amusements they should be consulted and allowed to frame| their own laws. | aza, Madison | 8 indus- Another Big Word. a George in Washington.
