Hard to Convince.

It took six visits to a presentation of the danse du ventre by Turkish girls a) Atlantic City, N. J., to convince the councllmen of that town that the dance was improper. Several residents ol the town protested to the council thal the ’ exhibition was immoral, and the Mayor and Council promptly went in a body to see it themselves. Half the city fathers were unable to decide on the first visit and they went to see il again on four succeeding evenings, and even then one councilman remained unconvinced and could not decide thal the exhibition should be suppressed until he had seen it once more. The show was closed.
