DOES "HOBBLEITIS" THREATEN DANCER?
NEW STYLE MAKES THE FEET GO FASTER.
Twice as Many Steps Required to Cover Ten Miles Usually Traversed at University Parties.
Hobble skirts cause faster dancing among girls of the University. With the growing popularity of the new Parisian creation among the social set of the school a danger threatens the old, established 'varsity dance'. With the pinched effect of the new skirts the girls are unable to do the long graceful glides of the K. U. dance.
For years the University has upheld a reputation of developing dancers who could glide over the polished floors with long graceful steps. In fact, it has been the height of the ambition of some of the creased trouser freshmen and sophomores to be able to do the "Devil's Glide," and the corner reverse, with as much fantastic beauty and spectacular effect as their junior or senior brothers. They have practiced on the furrowed floors of their rooms and have tried it even on cement walks by moonlight. Then they have gone to F. A. A. or Ecke's and given their exhibitions. The girl, always in years past being a secondary consideration as to style of dancing, has quickly learned the "style."
But, alas—now come the girls with their less-length, hoop-bound creations. (It is said that the above named hindrances allow a step of only seven and a half inches.)
Now it is the girl who regulates the "style." The result is that to keep up with the music the hobbled couples are compelled to dance in double time. It is estimated that the old style glide dance takes the couple over a distance of ten miles during the dance. Now the "hobbles" do twice the number of steps, making twice as much work out of it.
Question—Will the new style cause over-work,fatigue and some sort of epidemic to spring up—for instance, "hobbleitis?"

The evening closed with the singing of the nonsense verses from "Alice in Wonderland."
