Gone Dance Mad.
GRACEFUL STAGE DANCING.

NIN holshi ONtt " AoNA
II is rather funny TO see the most
solemn OF New York papers take up the
question OF stage dancing and discuss
IFS grace, It's beauty and the knowledge
OF dressing possessed by the dancers
thereof. Gotham seems suddenly gone
dance mad And the woman who can
kick the highest, or who can throw
certain abandon into her style, Is the
unc given the greatest appreciation.
We won't through asiege Of Carmenclta
that was painful In the beginning,
when She danced in spectacular show,
she took some trouble, and really did n
graceful Spanish dance that was ontic-
ing as II was artistic; but later, whom
painters rushed after her, and fashion,
able women admired her, she became
reckless, and did dance that was
partly contortion, lacking In grace, and
altogether indecent.
DANCING THAT HAS MERIT.
There are four dancers In a spectacle
here now who really do marvellous
work, and they do IL so earnestly and
enthusiastically that the idea Of Its not
being Just right never seems 10 enter
your head. They rush on, two from
each side, and suddenly four feet are
caught together, and the four young
women are whirling around on one
foot, az II nature had intended them all
for storl1s. Suddenly they fly away;
each one upholds tho upliftod leg rs II
It were a banjo, aud plays II tune on 1t
with dainty begemmed fingers. Then
three OF them come down on the two

Speaking Of the last suggest the per-
son who claims 10 be the oripinntor Of
tho wrn-ra-ra,n and who yulpnrly
enough calls herself ''Miss L.ottie col
llns.T Miss LOTTO Collins would az
first glance be entered on tho stud

has no backbone: possibly that /,
achieved when one passes 10. Unlike
