White Rore,. and I am sure it ij the on'i you have la. mind: WHILE THE DANC1 GOES ON Amid the glare and the iplpndor, Amid the gay and the "nrig'it. Joyous and happy the dancers. No thought of sorrow to-njght. Softly the strains of the music Play on all evening till dawn. Happy are they, ju oiri nd gay. While the dance goes in. Yet there Is one of the di icers. One with a beautiful face. Laughing and chatting s freely; Dancing with such cat "less grac. There is no firm hand to uide her No one to shield her fr m harm, She is alone, husband at lome, While the dance goes on. While the music was playing In the grand ball room; While all hearts beat siftly To the old sweet tune. While the hours were passing. Fleeting one by one. No thought of the morrow. While the dance goes on. "You will not go to the ball .ove, Stay with our baby to-night." Rang in the ears of that lady Who's sparkling eyes shone so bright. What cares she for home and baby While she is queen of the ball. Husband at home, baby alone, While the dance goes on. Only too soon is It over, Home she approaches at last. There at the door mets her husband ' Who's sad tcvrs fall thlr-k and fast Then not a word is there spoken. Gently he leads his wife in; There on the bed, baby lies dead. While the dance goes on. Dear Miss Brooks: We have read your interesting cc.ne for some time, and find it very helpful, so thought we would write and ask you a few questions, knowing that w would get good results. (1) Do you think it proper to take a young lady to-a to-a email town with a small crowd un-chaperoned? un-chaperoned? Why do you always prefer pre-fer a chaperon? (2) We have been stepping" with a couple of girls whom we like real well, but they "step" with ot:.er fellows, and we don't like to have them go with the others. They suem to treat all fellows alike, but we would like to have them for ourselves alone. We like them too well to quit them, so what would you advise us to do? (3) What do you think of girls who smoke? Some girls Insist, and say it is no worse for a girl to smoke than a boy. (4) Isn't it all right to put your arms around a girl when sleighrlding when its crowded and cold? Thanking you in advance we remain. DUTCH and DICK, Idaho. Welcome Dutch and Dick. I hope you will be re aj pleased with your answers ind advice as you have been with thers. fee answer to "Toots, of Utah" 'or question number one. (2) And pray vhy shouldn't these girls "step" with nheir other friends? I should say they were tv;;:ng very good judgment when -.hey treat you all alike, ior I take It ou are not old folks, and they no loubt wish to become acquainted with) -ieveral boys before they consider any me seriously. 1 advise ou to be broad minded and fair, and be just as gentlemanly gentle-manly and interesting as yo-.i :.now low to be if you have any desire to eventually be the onl, ones, for In no other way can you qualify. (3) It may not be any worse for a girl to smoke than a boy, but that Is not saying say-ing much after all, is it? Smoking is a filthy habit, to say the least, with not one redeeming feature. Even the ones who have smoked all their lives admit this, and how any girl or woman cam put forth an argpment in Its behalf, much less practice ihe habit is surely a mystery. (4) I do nut think so, bovs. I am of the opinion If the beys and girls go out together with the thought of having a joyous, wholesome, jolly good time, they will return to their homes happier and more satisfied with themselves and their associates, than wlih the thoughts which prompt them to wish to pursue the course you mention men-tion in your question. Dear Lladam: I am in receipt of the poems vou sent me. I appreciate your kindness, and wish to send my greetings with thanks for your trouble. May success come lo you in the gsod you are trying to do to others. The poem you sent was not Just the same. b'Jt it hears the thought, so am more than pleased with it.
