The uor. Josiah Quincy remembers when
the waltz or round dance was first introduced
in 1925 in Washington. He says that the
que stion OF Its decorum was distinctly raised
on Its frst appearance, and that socially
speaking It has proved an unmitigated
nuisance, having routed the intellectual
element once conspicuous even In fashion
able gatherings, and given society over to
the young aud inexperienced; and by per-

full objects inviting to pleasant thoughts
should always be present. No gift is SO
delicate, and the love for them is almost
universal.
Two men with two trained bears were on
our streets Monday and soon drew q crowd
wherever they halted to show Of tho &c
of their pets. The animals
were OF the cinnamon species, one Of them
very large, and one of their keepers said he
brought them from Switzerland. The largest
of the two went through . military drill,
climbed tree hand over hand like q school
boy, and backed down in the same manner.
Both danced and waltzed standing erect,
their front limbs hanging with . kangaroo
droop, and their rear ones reminding one of q
corpulent clown in very baggy pantsloons.
North Primary when they passed, and al
lowed the delighted children q recess to see
