Orphie Marcellus American Squaredance July 1989 3 everal times we have raised the S question of square dance fashions, and printed comments from others. We have now been saving several articles to use a few excerpts this month. We also have garnered comments from all across the country from women who are asking for more comfortable and convenient at- tire for square dancing. Could our dress make a difference in attracting more and younger dancers? We'll never know until we decide to ac- cept several alternatives as "acceptable square dance attire." Many women who are dancing like the present styles, which have been with us for many years now. Men may like them, too, but let's discount their opinions—they wouldn't be caught dead in those funny- don't have to wear them.

Among the faces 1 of women in the old print, found at a flea market in Strasburg, Ohio, you find the most inscrutable woman of all, the Mona Lisa, and several other well-known figures from feminine history. Along with the "distaff' theme come thoughts on what Independence Day means to us from Jo Jan Nunley and L. Paul Bouchard. Mary Read Cooper has written several "Hem-Line" articles in the past; this month she gives us a light fiction feature. Then you may travel to Czechoslovakia with Carol David-Blackman or back into history with Heiner Fischle, two authors who hail from across the sea. Finally, in a lovely tribute to his and all callers' wives, Mike Alexander of Cincinnati joins the list of ASD authors.
