She signed up for dancing lessons, paid higher and higher fees to win the privilege of attending parties and other extra functions at the school. After six weeks, she was persuaded to sign up for an $11,800 lifetime membership. One of the school instructors thoughtfully accompanied her home and to the bank to round up the payment. But with half her life's savings...
