thing that the girl is usually quite as un
scrnpulous as he.
The Latest remedial craze, says the
New York Times, appears to be the bare
foot cure. There are several distinct de-
partments Of this general school OF health &.
One ad vocates the racing barefooted, and.
lRdeed. barelegged to the knees, through
the sunny sands OF the sea shore. A sleeve
less shirt or blouse low at the throat is
worn, too, and no nat that as much of the
skin surface as possible may be exposed TO
the lifs-giving sun and air
The Kneipp cure, as 10 Is called, after the
bene VIOLENT old German priest, Father
Kueipp, Who conducts the cnrs at Worish-
ofen, Germany, Is different. According to
nm exchange the special features OF the
Kneipp cure are short baths and doachss
Of very cold water and putting on the
clothes OF coarse homespun linen without
drying, walking In the early morning bare
footed iu the deWy grass, and walking bare.
footed in cold water The Kneipp shirt, O
coarse linen garment, is worn nexr to the
skin during tho process OF cure, and the
simplest and most frugal OF die,s is observed f,
the idea being to harden the system, and by
a return TO almost aboriginal habits OF life
restore its tone, and thus remove disease u
Many cures are reported, and advocates Of
both systems cite abundant success.
There is comfort TO the society man past
the in1enu age, says the New York Sun
when life seems to contain something worth
while besides learning the jerks aud wrigs
giles and genuhections OF a new dance a
week, that the languorous and graceful
waltz still monopolizes the dance programme
and ia stepped TO a measure more dignifed
and stately than tkat which characterized
the mad gallopade Of the last few seasons.
But for those 90 whom il may concern who
have not yet assembled the high plane Of go
cial superiority where they consider it
great favor TO drink hosts
wines and eat his collation., II in re-
turn they block up for a few mo-
ments the doorway OF his ball room
without dancing, there are thIs season six
new round dances and two now square Ones
which it will be advisable TO prepare for
the coming social campaign. The simplest,
and perhaps the most popular In point OF
popularity is tue two-step polka, a step
much like the old-fAshioned qalop, which
has been danced so industrtously all summer
at the hotels. Two polka steps aud turn,
two steps back, that is all but there is Just
enough decorous romp in 1t TO please the
dancers. The royal gavotte is another which
promises TO be general, and is not unlike the
merry dancing In the barnn measure
Three steps for ward and kick In the same
way and salute, then 10 the round>dance
position, four glides TO the side, turn, two
two-step glides, and repeat until the four
measures are filled out.
OF course the girls need devote but little
time to the study of the dances, for girls
dance by instinct, as birds fly. Given a man
to dance with and music to dance by aud
every girl glides into the step az gracefully
as the swallow flies, because tor this she was
created. Indeed, Ruskin names dancing as
one OF the cardinal virtues Of gtrlhood, and
claims that the peculiar lightness OF poise
aud graceful attitudes Of the famous Fra
Angelica Is due TO the Florencine dancing
girls which the great master chose as models
for the groups OF maidens which surround
and guard his Virgin and child.
