only general point that [ can give

mistake made by all dancers who are

tional dance Just when it arose it is
difficult, of course, to say, but it was
some time in the latter part of the
eighteenth century. It was discovered
by the French and English early in
this century and made instant progress
into popularity all over the civilized
world. We begin with that, in teach
ing our students, for two reasons:
First, perhaps, because it is the one
thing the student is most ambitious to
learn, and as rule, you know, society
people are not men inclined to go
through long season Of dry and rou-
tine exercises, as piano students have
to, before they reach the practice Of the
thing they ultimately wish to master.
The second reason which is the better
one from the point OF Wow of the terp-
sichorean artist. is that Il good waltz
step cultivates that grace of movement
and command of the limbs which is
essential to good dancing Of any vari-
ETY.. I can imagine that one may begin
with the contra dances, such as the
Virginia reel and the simpler quadrilles,
and go through the evolutions required
by them in perfect form. Yet, if this
were the case, when he came to take
up the waltz he would be just as
badly Off as ii he were nov
ice, with the single exception that
he would have learned to pose we'll
when not i'll motion. The fact
is, however, that few people who begin
with the square dances learn to do
them we'll. If you were ever at q
country ball you have only to remeu-
Der the styles in vogue there to see the

ing about the room more violently,
would cut rather sorry figure in the
society waltz, even granting that he
knew somewhat about the movements.
So, as say, it is the best thing to be-
gin with the waltz, because there we
cultivate that grace which is necessary
to all society behavior. The man who
has learned to waltz we'll will find all,
other dances and all other behavior
easy matters to acquire"
"What is the first thing taught to the
beginner?'
1--WE begin with gentlemanly or;
lady-like pose and show the pupil how
to stand correctly while waiting for,
that bar of the music to sound which,
will be his cue for beginning to dance.
The initial pose is, Of course, very
natural and easy to learn, though it is.
frequently somewhat difficult matter
to impress upon the pupil that he OF,

the hands above that point where they
naturally lie when clasped. Your awk-

happens with good walters is the col
l:sion Of the knees. By the necessi-
ties of the dance your knees are al
most touching those of your partner,
yet if you understand how to take
steps, she will never be conscious that
either you or herself has anything like
knee. This excellent feature of a
perfect waltz can never be acquired if
the dancer persists in bending his knee
during either the initial pose or any
portion of the dance. So many men
seem to think that it adds certain
springiness to Their motions if they
bend the legs more or less during the
dance. The fact is the spring OF the
waltz should come entirely from the
muscles Of the lower limbs and the
bend of the knees only adds awkward
ness and not grace to the movements. {"
care good dancers able to avoid the
actual collisions with other couples
during ball?"
"Not always. 1t depends very largely
upon the number Of couples dancing,
and somewhat upon the watchfulness
of the gentleman. But in crowded
ballroom, be the parties never SO care
full, it is almost impossible to avoid
some collisions. No serious results
may follow, however, such as complete
upsetting of one OF other of the parties
unless one OF both are exceedingly
careless and awkward"
"Are there any new forms of the
waltz in vogue this season."
None that can be described. As new
pieces of music are composed each
academy or professor may invent some
little variation to suit himself, but as a
rule it may be said that the waltz
proper remains the same from one sea.
son to another. 1t is not like the
square dances, where there are Ger.

No healthier people than Farmer Styer
and his good wife can be found in all
Eastern Pennsylvania. They own a
magnificent farm and are prosperous,

parents have arrived at a good old age

Annie Styer was beautiful girl of 20
years of age. She was we'll formed,
and appeared i'll the pink of health, but
she suddenly became i'll, and in a short
time was corpse, having died of pull
monary exhaustion. This was two
years ago. A year later Sallie and
Fannie, Is and 10 years of age, died in
the same manner after being suddenly
stricken. Now Adam, II years of age,
is dead. A l2-year-old daughter is not
expected to live, and the remaining
two sons are looking forward to an
early death of the same dreaded dis.
ease. The doctors are puzzled, as
none of the Styers' relations ever died
OF consumption.
