The Fore-ward to this little instruction book reads. The Quadrilles which Miss Dunlavy has described in this book were procured in southern Iowa,from callers long familiar with the old square dances.Nothing has been added to,nor taken from,each callers' contribution.Miss Dunlavy says:"The old square dance does not express the stateliness of its aristocratic cousin' the minuet,and yet it does possess its own spirit of decorum and propriety and is danced by the older generation with charm and grace.Unfortunately the younger dancers are all to apt to misunderstand and to force the sociability and friendliness inherent in the old dance.I am sure these words where not meant to offend. Contents are for Callers and Fiddlers and a Description of Positions and Fiqures.A fun book by Hull House Chicago.Nice clean condition.88 pages.
