  Re: Contr(a/y)/Square, etc.

  Ladies' chain 40 years ago was over and back.  If you only went over it was 
  half ladies' chain.  Nowadays the half chain is more common and if it is a 
  'round trip' the caller will say 'chain over and chain back'.  As far as 
  twirling during the turn, it is an individual choice.  I'm not interested in 
  twirling so I keep my left hand down and the man cannot raise it and twirl 
  me.  I put my right hand behind me so the man can hold it for a 'courtesy 
  turn'.  One gets much more eye contact with this turn than with the twirls.
