We were completely devoted to each other and although he lives a consider- able distance from my home we saw each other several times a week.

About the only thing you can do is to show them how to dance gracefully and let them put their own interpre- tation into their dancing “In illustrating the cc position for inches apart, much ect starting dancing T should advise the girl to give the young man her right hand and then hold It quite a distance from their bodies, A crowd- ed dance hall or ballroom would alter this position. The young man should place his left hand upon the girl's shoulder, while the girl should touch her partner's left shoulder lightly, folding thumb underneath the palm of her hand rather than spread- ing all her fingers out to their full extent. “There is no use announcing how many inches the couples should stand her apart because they naturally know this. However, it is quite possible to stand too far apart to be graceful. You might call this ‘too radical ancing.’ It is stiff and awkward for man and a to act as if they were afraid of each other, and no dance can be rhythmical or artistic under these conditions." Walz Miss absolutely refused to pose in a cheek-to-jowl dance but willing illustrated the much talked about “neck grasp’ in which the SS SS as =.

Be- sides being vulgar it {s inartistic and the moment a dance loses graceful- ness it is hopeless. “Another dance I object to 1s known as the ‘Back Bend,’ continued Miss Walz, “This is even more awkward than the neck grasp and is absolutely quite impossible. Both the young man and the woman try to hold them- selves as far back as they can from the waist up, Nothing could be more repulsive to the onlooker, and in my opinion this type of dance 1s even so-called ‘maw! than @& ‘worse dance.’ * “But why mawl at dance when s0 are afforded for in autos and opportunities both many petting upon park benches?" I asked. “That's tly it,’ agreed the dancing mistress. ‘Dancing can be made the most graceful and de- lightful sport for young people, there- fore it seems too bad to lose this op- portunity ih its best form. I know the young people would gain infinitely more pleasure from correct, rhythmi- dancing than from these terrible naw] and hawl dances, “But let me say,” quickly added Miss Walz, “that it is not the young people alone who violate correct cancing positions—oh, no, indeed, it's old Mr, Gotrocks who is trying to be young and some of the fat, fair and forties.

Yes, plenty of them, but scores upon scores of men and women ‘over forty-five.’ "" | THREE EMPHATIC “DON'TS” ——/ The “Back Bend” (left) Is the Most Popular But Most Awkward Position in Vogue. “Neck Grasp” (below) Makes a Man and a Girl Appear Ridiculous.

An Innocent Abroad Night Is Over in London Before New York Starts to Warm Up By Neal R. O’Hara Copyrtent 1992 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co, It’s Legal for Booze to Flow in England, but the Night Lifers Go to Bed. FT) pint RNG TOR LEP PARK ROAD Remo LONDON, Aug. 11. IGHT Iife in this gent’s town is nix. Although the sun never sets N on the British Empire, it certainly pulls {ts neck in on London with acrash, For after Old Solus has sunk under the rim, he is through ttl 4.30 A. M., when the milkmen start loping around, The theatres dump out their mobs at 11 o'clock, but they streak for the subway or nearest tram stop, and by 11.15 the last of the crowd !s headed for Shepherd’s Bush or Dalrymple's Heath or Chiswickton Gardens or some other phoney names that they have for London suburbs That's one thing you've got to give London credit for—the titles they have for the suburbs. The guy that wrote the lyrics for the map of Lon- don was sure an eccentric cuss. No short and ugly trade marks for the outlying districts Ike Harlem, East Boston or South Chicago. No, nothing like that. He said to himself, ‘Let's have something neat and pretty.” So he threw an ink spot on the map and labelled that one Finghley Scrubs. Another apartment-house zone was dubbed Heatherington Parkside, and a third grew a monicker like Rotherithe Lower Green. A neat and pretty idea, throughout. But the bets are even that the guy that named these suburbs was either writing on space or working by the hour. A mere cable address anywhere in London sounds like a Grand Central train crier announcing a local for the Pacific Coast. But Tushingtish Manor or St. Lambikin’s Park Road have nothing to do with night life in London. We were saying a minute ago that night Ife is nix. It is even more than that—it’s nixer. The livest roistering that can be done hereabouts this summer is to go down to one of Parliament's late night sessions and listen to the speeches on duty for fabric glov Or you can grab one of the late evening papers and try to find out from the cricket scores who won. A great game, cricket, if you're bullt that way. It only takes three days to finish one game, including time out for argu ments, thunder showers and tea. A single guy will often be at bat for two straight hours. Not much like sport in the U.S. A. Why, either Boston ball club could lose a doubleheader while a good London cricketer was just warming up. That's what we mean by cricket being a great| game if you're built for It. Methusaleh, for instance, would have been a cricket fan, Joe Cannon's umpty-ump sessions in Congress look lke hundred- yard dashes side of cricket games But cricket hasn't much to do with night life, either. The point we're trying to make 1s that London hasn't any. Night life, not cricket! It is bare, shorn, bereft of any night doings beyond grabbing a cinnamon bun in some all-night tea-house and munchng «t while you scoop up some oolong. If that’s the brand of excitement you crave, then night Ife in London {s your dish, Personally we like something with a little more spice to it than a couple of cinnamon buns EARLY ToseD EARLY To RICE [ Look Your Best By Doris Doscher w York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co.
