"Don'ts" In Dancing

AGE

"Poppa, won't you dance with mo, becauso nobody elso will?" This noodn't be your problem if liston to the solid advice of Arthur Mur- ray, who is now colebrating a quarter of a contury as high priest of ballroom dancing.

I spoke to Mr. Murray the other day about the problems teen agers have in making their feet match the time of the music, without looking as if they had memorised one of those foot charts showing how to do the box step.

In seeing the misunderstood an- *wers to the letter

by "Two Hopeful Girls" we were surprised to rid how silly sume of Romeos modern

W would like to clarify the mena- ing of the letter by "Two Hope- ful Giris." Not that we are ex- perts at interpreting other peo- ple's thoughts but that we fee very indignant at seeing such simple letters misunderstood.

In the second paragraph they meant that boys who go to the Cincina should get the idea that Its inodern civilisation boys usually give their dates a corsage o the occasion of a formal party or dance. They surely, did not advertise for boy friends as the subsequent latters from

"Old Stuff and Sing" and "China Doll" impiled.

If the expenditure of th corange worries the boy

boy, 4 little common sense and ingenuity would solve the problem. And we're sure they would be able to produce a beautifully home- made corsage. We'll guarante terrific results

and would appreciate thel: gallantry. The girls only brought this up because they see some have no initiative, and got they themselves (the

girls) have no boy friends.

We bet the Two Hopeful Girl' have more admirers than girls usually do. There is no- thing wrong with pretty girls, la, there? If boys are afraid of pretty girls, we suggest they hide behind their mamma's skirt un- til they have overcome their cowardice.

Regarding the male shortage, let us assure you that there la no shortage in Hong Kong, but thero is certainly a lack of poll. teness and common sense in the so-called modern. Hong Kong males, A

Mr. Murray gave me a sound piece of advice for you girls, which seems a litle controversial, but perhaps It's true.

"if you want to lead a man to the altar....don't tend him on the dance floor!" he laughed. And I'm afraid I'll have to think that one over.
