league Society Suggests Rules
For Summer Dance Etiquette

That

All -Rfight' Feeling

I

B JEANNE CRUMP
In came the handsome hero and
looked over the coeds at the League
weekend dances. He saw a very
young thing, but he was dubious
about how to ask her to dance and
anyway supposing she wasn't too good
at that pastime and he'd have to
be with her all evening.
Tough situation, for any man, and
* the Summer Session social office
doesn't want to leave anyone in such
a quandry, so from there has come
a set of very good "helpful hints"
on summer school etiquette. Let's
take it from beginning to end.
It's Easy To Meet People
First of all it's just as natural a
thing for men or women to come
alone to summer dances as to come
" with dates. Once inside the hostess-
es,hdistinguished by badges marked
"Official," will introduce you to any-
one you may wish to meet. If there
are no hostesses on hand the social
office decrees that you may intro-
duce yourself. Here's the procedure.
Say, "How do you do. I am Joe X.
May I have this dance." The girl
will then please remember to intro-
duce herself immediately, not wait
until the middle of the .piece.
It is accepted Summer Session eti-
quette to return at the end of a
dance to the hostesses who intro-
duced you so that she may have you
meet someone else, or the man may
seat his partner and leave her, say;
ing, "Would you please excuse me."
But please, gentlemen, no leaving the
young lady standing in the middle of
the floor as a few are prone to do.
Meet Many Different People
Asw for women dancers, they may
either excuse themselves at the end
of a dance or return to the hostess.
Since many come to the League to
get acquainted with many people, if
these rules are followed it will be
simple to dance with quite a few in
one evening.
Now here is a word For Men Only.
Since women are asked not to dance
together at the League, there will
be some sitting out for a piece or
two. Dance with them rather than
stand in the stag line all evening

with eyes glued to those on the floor.
Remember you need have only one
dance with her, and it is a courtesy
to the League to do this once an eve-
ning.
If the one with whom our hand-
some hero wishes to dance is sport-
ing an official tag, here is the ex-
planation of what to do. Hostesses
are there to help everyone get ac-
quainted, but when they're not busy,
they are eligible to dance.
The "only one dance" rule has to
be hard and fast, in this case for
they have duties to perform. Of
course you may return for another
dance, or later in the evening they
may usually dance as long as they
wish.
Apparel Is Important
Last but not least, what were you
planning to wear to the League this
weekend? The men may or may not
wear coats. Sport shirts may be worn
with coats, but not without. So if
you think the weather will keep you
without one on, wear a regular shirt
with a tie, sleeves not rolled up and
suspenders doing a disappearing act.
If you want to make a real impres-
sion on your comely partner, don't
wear sport shirt outside, jerseys or
crew neck shirts. More informal at-
tire is of course permitted for the
square dancing on Monday nights.
Women may wear any type of date
dress. The only desire of the social
office is not to have them look as if
they should be on a picnic, for slacks
will draw frowns. A few suggestions
for materials in which you'd feel cool
and lovely are soft silks, prints, ba-
tistes, your nicest cottons, pastel,
sharskins or a skirt with a frilly
white blouse.
