A Southland social writer has these few sarcastic remarks in the “Times” : It is extremely gratifying to note that Southland, epitomised. I am given to understand, in a centre quite near at hand, is abreast (and even somewhat ahead) of the times, in ousting the cabaret idea from its midst. I have it that one social club has taken the important step of making up a list of rules to be posted up jn the dancehall, whereby no girl may dance more than four times during the evening with the same Alale Person. At least, it is thought advisable to put the Alale Person in consideration of the lonely wallflowers who may care to unite their unhappy lots. In these days of admirable enlightenment this is "most interesting, and hears watching for the development of further elements demanded by the Papal authorities. Whether gloves will he worn, and crinolines, perhaps, to avoid so anpallingly vulgar contact, should afford delightful subjects for controversy in peaceful circles.
