J M. M and you are welcome In our column at at any time The state of or affairs you you outline Is most certainly not proper and the husband who neglects his wife or orthe orthe orthe the man who neglects his partner in that fashion is Js very rude rud and selfish As long as the privilege privilege-of or asking for dances s remains in he hands of or the man it carries carr re responsibilities re- re with it some men rail fan fanto railto to recognize this and he has not the right to ask anyone else for a dance until he lie knows that the lady whom he brought to the dance is provided with a partner for each dance Jance If some accident occurs and her partner does not claim the dance and her own partner Is dancing and sees that she is alone he and the lad lady with whom he is dancing should go and sit with her or some similar arrangement should be made This very responsibility on the part of the man is one of the chief reasons for having a dance card and for the later latel deve development of the exchange of dances which is Js practically universal now This method calls calIs for an exchange of partners In two couples so that there is not the sf slightest chance of one girl irl being left alone Wallflowers Vall flowers are are becoming scarcer and scarcer thank goodness goodness goodness good good- ness even en though that epithet need not always mean that the one to whom it Was vas applied was not sufficiently sufficiently suf suf- popular to have her dance program filled but it usually happened happened happened hap hap- that the men could congregate congregate congregate congre congre- gate together in ill smoking room or outside or 01 wherever they wished whenever they didn't feel like dancIng dancing dancing ing and no such haven was possible possible pos pos- sible for the girl so she must re remain remain remain re- re main sitting slUing along the walls wails lookIng looking look look- ing lonesome and until some one of these thoughtless young oung men came to the rescue Now Kow there ISa is isa isa a little better balance If there is no lounging room in which the girls may go and sit out a dance dance- and they are quite as likely to wish to as are ale the men if they need not be made objects of pity or outrageously outrageously out out- conspicuous by toy so doing each each girl at the dance will have havea a young man to sit out the dance with her so that it becomes a matter matter matter mat mat- ter of choice rather than necessity To ro sum up the situation according to convention these days day The he man who Invites a lady to attend a dance ance with him whether it be husband sweetheart or or casu casual t friend friend ac ac accepts the responsibility for the girls girl's good time and this necessitates that she be provided with a partner for forach each ach dance listed on the program whether it be an exchange of dances between two men and their partners or the older way of each to his whim the ladys lady's program must be filled first and only those dances which he knows mows are filled on his partners partner's program may be filled by him with another ladys lady's name Dear Miss Blair you please print a recipe for making plum pudding Thank you I very much E.
