A DANCE PROBLEM ?
All the girls in America—with the exception of the lucky few—are agitating in secret for the abolition of the ‘‘cutting-in ” system at dances (states a correspondent). At any dance in America a man may gO up to a couple dancing, say “ Excuse _ me, please,” and relieve the man of his partner I The very pretty girls think it a fine idea, for they have tho fun of dancing with perhaps thirty different men in an hour. But the “not-quite-so-pretty ” . girls find they have less chance of getting partners than at the old' programme dances. They—and their mothers—want to end the system, but they dare not say so too openly, for it would be a confession of their unattraetiveness. And so ‘‘ cutting-in ” looks like continuing for ever for lack of somebody to admit they do not like it.
