SOME FEATURES.
"After the first partners have been secured,
however, it does not mean that these two shall
dance together throughout the whole evening,
because the figures are such that the partners
are constantly changing The leader has
usually little musical whistle which ne blows
as signal for the movements and, as rule,
four people take part in the movements at
time, although there are some which will ex-
plain that call for more than that number. We
Will suppose that the entertainment has begun
by general waltz in which all the parties
present take part with their first partners.
Then at the sound of the whistle they take
their seats around the room. Then the first
figure may be what is called "The Candle"
very amusing device, which is performed after
this fashion: The leader places a chair in the
middle of the room and calling young lady
from the first four gives her lighted candle.
She stands upon the chair and the two gentle
men of the first four come forward. She holds
the candle at any height she may choose and
the gentlemen jump up in turn and try to blow
1t out The one who succeeds in blowing it out
becomes her partner for the next waltz In
this figure, of course, the lady has every op-
portunity to favor the gentleman she likes. A
very tall man may be presented to her, for
instance, and if she does not choose him. she
may hold the candle so high that even he may
not be able to reach it to blow out the blaze.
On the other hand, if he is short man
whom she favors, she may hold it down SO low
that he may be able to do so. All discrimina-
tions of this kind are accepted in the utmost
good nature, and from this alone you may see
how advisable it is to limit the participants to
those who are personally friendly. When this
figure has been performed by the first four. a

What is that sweet artifcer
That even in old Ireland's savage West
Builds into rugged walls such tender nest:
leaves
That brings the throb of summer to the
eaves?-
All, it is Love, but Love.
What is that subtle alchemist
That in the humblest or most savage breast
Brings but muniicence of joy and rest;
That deftly changes all alloy 10 gold
and gives immortal youth to young or old?-
All, 1t is Love, but Love.
What is that living miracle
That wrests a thrillful joy from every pain;
That builds from direst loss supremest gain:
That lifts triumphant over harm and hate
To earthly heaven, and Heavens shining
gate p
All, it is Love- but Love.
There is not more thoroughly and char
acteristically Irish town in ireland than an
cient Galway. Because Of this, you will
find extraordinary interest, and that most
enhancing of all experiences to the traveller,
the sense of personal discovery, in the
strange and unexpected here, which are not
Irish at all. This particularly com prehends
that subtle yet almost intangible feeling
that you are not in ireland, but have in
your wanderings been suddenly whisked
away to one of those delicious hives of hu-
mans, an olden city of Spain. You cannot
well describe how and where it is. Like
