POPE'S ENCYCLICAL.
DANCING CONDEMNED. '(Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, December 26. The Pope's Encyclical letter saysi 'Into the sweet sanctuary of the family the germ of dissolution has penetrated. Fostered by the war, it caused increased immorality, whence this germ propagates to all individuals." The Pope deplores the spread of morbid restlessness among people of all ages, and that modesty in women and girls has been trampled underfoot by looseness in dressing, talking, and dancing unseemly dances, with open insult to some and misery to others, often rendered more provoking by the all too frequent ostentation and impudence of those whom sudden gains have enriched but not improved.—(Beuter.)
