"DANCING SUPERIOR TO

SECRET OF HOW TO BE YOUNG

THOUGH FIFTY.

Dancing is more health-giving than golf, insists a writer who as quoted in the It has the merit of Literary Digest. bring enjoyable which is an essential in exerce if it is to be beneficial, whereas, he is not so certain about golf. Speak ing from bu-awn expericace

I know the joy of a long, low drive, straight down the course, he writes, the thrill of a neatly lofted mashis shot that just gets over some brutal chasm ani, backward spinning, lands-safely-on-the green. I know the despair that fills a golfer's soul on bad days when he tops and slices and cannot keep bis eve on! the ball, when he misses short putts that lose the match, and otherwise disgraces himself have played in the eighties on occasions; usually in the nineties. On the whole, I can look Impartially at this question of the comparative merits of these two forms of exercise-golf" "had" dancing.

WASTE OF TIME

Good golfers are apt to regard dateing with contemptuous indifferen; ther much prefer bridge and the hilarity of a group of good fellows in the cafe to the Insipid waltzing and fox-trotting with the ladies. They consider dancing a waste of time. They hate the bother of dress- iug. They despise the chatter. Besides, they are usually heary-footed mortals, t lacking both the skill to danes and the willingness to learn. Whatever they may have known about this graceful art, they have long since forgotten. Dancing is for kids, not for serious men, they say.

But if it he conceded that men af ty need regular exercise then there is no question that dancing offers ore point of superiority. It may be practised through- out the whole year, whereas in most of our cities golf is not possible, during winter and early spring. Most golfers do their golfing between May and Novem ber, and lay aside their clubs for the other five months. Five months, without regular exercise is a long time.

I know that the golf I played (an average amount) was not sufficient to keep me in good condition, says the writer. 1 was conscious at the period referred to of bodily deterioration and the urgent need of some kind of physical building up.

Dancing charged all this; atrast dar- ing the period since 1918 when I yielded to ball-room and dance-hall allurements, I have been practically free from these have not distressing symptoms and suffered one of my old heart panies for several years
