LOCAL COLOUR

Effect on Dancing

To the Editor of the joun-Cuiwa Dany News"

Sin—Last Saturday evening it ts reported that two Shanghai ladies With literary leanings acted as dance hostesses for an hour or so at local cabaret. The object of this was to secure a little local colour.

Maybe that was what was the matter with that girl with whom T danced Test Saturday. This girl could not dance and steadfastly refused to speak. to me so that 1 was led to presume that the paralysis which had already afflicted her lower limbs, had spread fo her brain, I also remember the sense of injustice as T gave her one Glance ticket, Really I deserved that 2 ticket, And maybe all unwittingly my partner was one of these literary.

cers for local colon Might I suggest that these ladies Jeave my favourite cabaret alone in future. They compare very unfavour-tably with the hostesses in any ease.
