DANCING MAN'S APPEAL TOZMARRIED LADIES

Give Your Poor Husbands a Chance A gentleman with a critical eye and a compassionate heart, one with much experience in the local Temples of Terpsichore, addresses us with an appeal to married ladies concerning correct deportment when dancing with their husbands.

There is a chance, he writes, that my advice may cause something like a revolution in more than one household, and in the interests of "Safely First" it is perhaps advisable that I remain anonymous. Even so, I am taking a risk, but, being a brave man, am prepared to chance it. Let it be strictly understood that my advice, offered in sympathy and with great respect, concerns only dancing. Heaven forbid that I should venture to instruct the fair in any other wise.
