Nationalist, Jan. 1922.
Letter to the Editor:
Dear Sir,
Dancing at the moment seems to
be "all the go" right over the country.
Almost everyone, young, old, and
middle-aged, have gone literally speaking, dancing mad;
and to take an illuminating example, one need only scan
the weekly provincial papers to see announcement after
announcement of Balls, Dances, wax polished floors and
city Jazz Bands; and in many parts they Dance from dark
to dawn, every night of the week in a different centre,
and need never leave the parish to do so.
- Sincerely,
- Glana.
