(They're natives somewhere ever and ever so far off, where there are palms
and coral reefs, and the people don't believe in wrapping themselves up much.) And so she's given the dance at a great many War Fund matinees. That little Mrs. Jimmy Sharpe, daring to criticise it, said there was too much Ollyoola and not enough dance; but everybody who _counts_ simply raves about it. And then, when some manager person offered Sybil big terms to do it at the "Incandescent," he was "officially informed" that, if the Ollyoola Love Dance went into the bill the "Incandescent" would be "placed out of bounds"! What do you, _do_ you think of that, _m'amie_? A piece of sheer _artistry_ like the Ollyoola Love Dance to be treated so! And it's wonderful not only artistically but scientifically. Each of dear Sybil's amazing wriggles and squirms and crouches and springs is _absolutely_ true--_exactly_ what an Ollyoola _does_ when it's in love. We're all glad to think we can _still_ see the Ollyoola Love Dance at War Fund matinées. Ever thine, BLANCHE. * * * * * THE SECRETS OF THE SALES.
