The dance has today in the greater part of all social gatherings become one of the chief forms of amusement. It has become truly a cannot-do-without accomplishment. The students of the K. S. U. have an excellent opportunity to look after this in these few weeks before commencement. Work having eased up, a few lessons with Prof. Pratt at Frazer hall will be all that is necessary.
