The practical uses Of Delsarte are not
/ apparent to the average mind, and the
gentle art seems to be acquired as an
| accomplishment, to accentuate a grace
| full presence in the drawing room,
rather than that it may be put to actual
/ test of its merits, but there is rarely
any gift, attained by lovely woman, but
/ it sooner or later can serve some pur-
pose. Witness the experience OF a
young lady, who is a faithful student
| OF Delsarte. The scene is laid in bril-
| liant ball room, and the house is full Of
| dancers. A Quadrille is formed upon
/ the floor, and the guests are tripping
! the easy measures. This young woman
/ Is one OF the gay thrOng, and the leader
/ has Just called "chaSseZ all" when
/ suddenly the dancer turns her foot and
/ slips upon the polished floor. She can
| not save herself, end she summons to
/ her aid vast presence OF mind. Re-
/ calling the principle to ''devitalize,"
/ she relaXes every muscle OF her body,
and without an effort or sound she is
/ down. 1t is only for q second, for ere
the leader can cry 'salute partners"
she has regained her feet, and when
I her escort turns 20 salute she greets
/ him with a smiling face. The dance is
/ over, and as they promenade the length
Of the hail, an acquaintance pauses to
/ question: Ibid you hurt yourself when
YOU fell?' This was the first intima-
ton her partner had Of the incident,
and his surprise was only eQualed by his
| interest In chow she did IL.
