It was a nice dance, and there were nice people there, and the tea was nice, and everyone was happy, which is a good thing, arid so are the dances. Rarely outside the activities of the young men's bible class can there ever have been such unaffected social functions as V.U.C.'s Saturday afternoon tea dances, and one is forced, by this popularity to the conclusion that people don't come to them only because they have nowhere better to go, between closing time arid the pictures; Many girls put a good dead of work into making the dances such a success, making it possible for everyone present to get a stomachful of quite pleasant food, and no romantic considerations of the joy of the dance or the gratification of mingling sexes can override the contentment engendered by a full stomach. Not for a moment detracting from the romantic delights, mind you.
