entering the ball room, found himself
in the midst of some of the best i
Parisian society earnestly devoting
itself to shimmying to the strains <>(
a Sue orchestra. Lloyd George said
that he did not think he could resist
the appeal of that music.
He was with a distinguished diplo
mat. The two made their way into
the room. A little later Lloyd George
"My dam i'. I hope." whispered lin
ear.

strains of a lively dance and the di>
tin1 gleaming parquet. To the aston
ishment of the gathering lie danced
from start to finish, the British Pre
mier enthusiastically clapping his
hands for an encore when the i! int
ended.
Britain's foremost statesmen con
tinned dancing throughout the even
ing. As he passed out. he said. '(I
don't see why they all denounce the
shimmy. It looks l.kc great sport to
me 1 wish I knew it. I must learn
it if ever I get the time."
