NY
The dancing masters Of New York
have had a congress and one of the things
agreed up is that there shall be no tolera-
ton OF fancy steps in the waltz this win
ter. This decision will be accepted by
New York swelldom, but of course the
dancers Of other cities may do as they
please about following the example.
THE Berlin is the name of a new
dance adopted by this same congress.
Naturally it will have a prominent place
in the German.

The pernicious activity of widows which
excited such dire forebodings in the
bosom Of the elder Weller, seems to have
taken on a fresh and alarming aspect. A
grass widow from New jersey has actually
and in broad daylight eloped with a one
legged patient in the New York hospital.
When 1t comes to having a widow come
and get a o~ne-legged man out of a hospi-
tai where he is receiving every attention,
and elope so thoroughly with him that his
friends and relations can't even get on the
track Of his game leg, matters appear to
be getting serious. In a hospital, if any

safe from such intrusion.

Among young women athletes is more
than ever noticeable what is now known
as the tennis skin" 1t is as smooth
and polished as satin, is a clear and deli
cate biscuit in color, with the rich red
showing through. 1t gives the impression
also Of exquisite cleanliness. 1t is the
result of sunlight aud fresh air, and the
healthtul process of cleansing the skin
daily with perspiratiOn. This is the
reason it is called tennis skin" because
the girls who play tennis wash out their
skin with perspiration every day. There
is another sort, and a beautiful one it is,
known among the girls as the Turkish
bath skin. That comes from a thorough
sweating too, but the flesh and muscles
are not made as firm beneath it as by out
door exercise. 1t doesn't wear as well
either. 1t is given to freckling and chap
ping, while the tennis skin is war
