A young man in Wichita is writing a
! romance. He goes on to tell of man
whose animation was suspended for one
hundred years and the wonderful changes
he views in Wichita after his resuscita-
with handsomer ediflces, all the names of
the streets are obliterated and locations
once familiar, have been lost in a century
Finally in the despair of his loneliness he
steps into the opera house and is at once
transported with joy to discover the
orchestra playing the same familiar strains
as of yore.

1t is said that a number of North Side
girls practice the skirt dance every night
before bouncing into bed: The skirtdance
is the ''fad" just now. 1t seems to be some
sort IF ballet without any kicking. The
dancer gets inside long plain black or
dark colored skirt, something like a
mother hubbard probably. Then the
music begins and the feet and arms and
body keep time and the loose skirt with its
continual folding aud gathering and catch
ing shows just enough of the outline of the
human form to set the imagination affre
1t is great deal ''rOckier" than the high
cut ballet because the ballet leaves moth
ing to be imagined and the skirt dance
decidedly does. The skirt dance is the
Quick of the Dead''-the ballet, the en-
cycopedia or the dictionary.
