Dots danctna between ths tables at Seattle cafes "go." or did some folks get a wrong hunch ? The lid Is?or was?off. It came off, according to re- liable information, following a meeting of the Tillkums. which Mayor GUI attended more than a week ago. A member just returned from Los Anqeles reported that dancing was permitted in tht respectable cafes there; that perfectly nice people par. ticlpated In the fun. and that nobody objected It was "reg ular New York stuff." It »eemed to be the consensus of opinion among the Tillkums that cafe dancing would add to the sum total of the joy of living. Mayor Gill didn't say much at the time, and apparently some of the Tillkums took It for granted that 'be! ween table' or "aisle" dancing got an official O K. Hut it didn't. "I don't believe It's a good thing to let the cheaper class of cafes have the dancing privilege," says the mator "It may be all right f*>r imiM'tiflileTafea. wherever tb«y are. or hotels, where they furnish meals. But In cafes wholly de- pended upon the amount of drink thats sold, it won't do." "Jim* .Morrison, proprietor of the llathskeller. waa the flr*t to give the lid a timid and tentative hoist On Tuesday night of last week the tables were cleared at the Rathskeller. and the patrons danced the tango, the maxlxe and the fox trot with grace and guato to excellent music.
