Thirdly, he "aparently is-1 not- cognisant of the fact that most of the large dances, both private and publicTto secure spe-cial artistical?and?aesthetic effects, tvill turn nnt. 1ight3 during the course of these special numbers.-- As regards his reference to boisterous laughter, by what instrument yet invertted can laughter be measured to ascertain whether or not it is merely an etfpresr :sion of youthful glee, light-heartedness, and happiness of bisterus? 7 .As contumelious a critieisni us his" must have a ileeperrfeson >for its as hjs article is not based on facts, hut drawn entirely imagination that displays art avidity to detract from the success of our^ dance. Since his criticism he knows, leep down in his heart, is unjust, we can only suppose that ?he was predisposed in this matter and therefore.balievo it would-bftve-beert?in bettorticket to our dance than to have attended as Or guest, with a knife up his-sleeve, as it were.. ~Atsm calling i ving no-reasons but ~self~ defense, we can vividly recall a certain dance, not many days past, which .U'HO off 'A-- ** * v"? wvreiiucu-ujf w-iitttjurjxy oi people :older-.?ml-- -more-cosmopolitan than those attending our dance, where th? beverage served was stronger, thp laughter louder ,ete, than at our dance. This par icular dance received the most favorable criticism at'the hands of our critic. We can only judge by this that the only word we can think of to describe his conduct would be toadyism to a certain set, and lunking to help ingratiate himself by using this method of disparagement of our dance to further his ingratiatlon.
