Tho --latest Suggestions About
Waltzing.

If the observation of social waltzing
IN New York and Europe for more than
forty years proves anything whatever,
writes Allen DodSworth in "Dancing and
Its Relation to Social Life" it is that
the method of holding which is pre-
scribed below is to-day, as ut the Begin
ming, adopted by Ill who may be no
uceablc for refined manners and move
mcnt. The gentleman approaches tho
lady. offering his left hand d-onc who is
au tait will at the same time make a
slight inclination to bow. The ladv
places her right hand in that of the gen
tlcman, who then extends his riyht arm
in direct line to the side, the forearm
bent so as to form m acute anglo. In
this angle the lady will place herself,
with the center line OF the person opno
site the line OF the gcntleman's RIGHT
side, both persons on parallel lines, not
forming an angle. In this position
each will be looking over The others
right shoulder. and by the lads turning
her head slightly TO the left the effect of
the group will be greatly improved. and
prevent all possibility of taking each
others breath, which is rarely pleasant,
and in the case Of Il young man directly
from the use of 4 mccrSchaum is "posi-
lively horrid," rs many ladies have re-
marked The lady, if not too short,
places her left hand, hooked, upon the
gentleman's right shoulder, the fingers
appearing in front. The right hand of
the gentleman should rest very gently
on the lady's back, rs near the waist as
possible, so as not to remove the up-
ward pressure of the elbow directly un-
der the lady's shoulder, as this is the
lady's support and must be held with
sure but gentle iirmncss. The hand on
the back should rest very lightly, and
on every possible occasion should be
slightly raised, SO that the air may pass
between, as in some eases the close con-
tact induces pcrspiration and NAV leave

Chopin as n Boy.

Chopin, alone of all the musicians,
has been immortalizcd through his
pianoforto music. If all the works that
have ever been written for the piano
were to be swept away, his compositions
would of themselves inspire one through
all the drudgery that is necessary to
master the Instrument
Frederic Chopin was born on March
!, 1909, at little village near Warsaw.
The child's genius was apparent in his
earliest years; when scarcely more than
baby, he was so sensitive that he wcpt
on hearing music; and he began to
compose before he was old enough to
write out the notes. lie was placed
under the tuition of Albert Zwyny, who
was delighted with his little pupils pro-
grcss, and in his ninth year nc gave his
first concert. Frederic was generally
full of high spirits, and often amused
himself by playing little practical Jokes.
sometimes being joined by his sister
Emily. This sister gave as rare promise
of being great in literature as Frederic
in music, but, unfortunately, she died
when only young girl.
Chopin had a talent for seizing the
ludicrous and placing it on paper; and
his power of caricatGring on the piano
was much like Schumanns It's said
that once, when his fathers pupils were
becoming very boisterous, Chopin en-
tened the room and seated himself at
the piano. He initiated q band of rob-
bers breaking into house, their escape,
and retreat to the woods; as the music
grew fainter the pupils became brewster
until they were all fast asleep. st.
