BALLS AND DANCES

In order to succeed in the modern ballroom, and especially in the
ballrooms of our exclusive country clubs, a young gentleman or lady of
fashion must today be possessed of the following two requisites: i.
A "Line." 2. A closed car. The latter of these "sine qua nons" is now
owned as a matter of course by most families and is no longer regarded
as a mark of distinction. The former requisite, however, is not so
common, but it is nevertheless true that any young person with ambition
and a good memory can eventually acquire a quite effective "Line." It
is a great aid in this direction if one happens to have spent a year or
more at one of our leading eastern universities or "finishing schools."
These vary, of course, in degree of excellence, but it does not pay
to be dogmatic on this subject, and to those who would insist that the
Princeton "Line" is more effective than the Harvard ditto, or that the
Westover "Line" flows more smoothly than that of Farmington or Spence,
one can only say "De gustibus non disputandum est." "Lines" vary also
in accordance with the different types of girls who happen to be using
them, and (to misquote a rather vulgar proverb) "What is one girl's food
may be another girl's poison." Thus it happens that the "Line" which is
most universally and interminably employed by the "beautiful" type of
girl (consisting, in its entirety, of the three words "How perfectly
priceless") would never in the world do for the young miss whose chief
asset is a kind heart or a love for really good books.
