EASTERN STAR

On Tuesday evening the Stars OF
Miriam Chapter No. l, will convene and
take into their already large cluster
some bright and much-welcomed star
ties, and from indications the whole
constellation Of our city will be present
to give them a hearty welcome. Many
OF our active members wonder why the
families of the brethren do not assist In
the noble works Of relief and charity
which they are ~endeavoring to do In
our city, for there is no city OF the
population in our eastern States or our
western country, but what has a chap
ter equal to the Masons' lodge.
Our Temple Association has almost
gotten our lot ready to begin to lay the
foundation, which they expect will
be complete by the 18th of June, and it
IS a certainty that the corner stone will
be laid on the cath Of June, when a pub
lie demonstration OF our brethren, as
sisted by those from surrounding States
will make the day a gay one, and one
long to be remembered. The commit
tee will be all selected by Monday and
they will then get TO work to lHvite the
brethren from the surrounding county.

New YORK, MAY 13.-No newness in
theatricals has taken place this week,
but the many good things presented
have drawn large audiences al nearly
all the play houses. II the world Is In
deed a stage the good people OF Gotham
have been playing a tank drama during
the last three weeks, and the beautiful
weather that began with the present
week has been Of great benefit to the
metropolitan managers. The end OF
the present week carries the season into
the middle Of May, and many Of the
plays that have had long runs will
come to an end. Notable among them
are Harrigan's Reilly and the 400"

"SalVinl" remains for one week longer.

Inconsistencies with which the party
who writ Shikspur has enriched the

claimed from the house tops that Mr..
Wilson Barrett is not only a good
Hamlet" but is one OF the greatest re-
corded in the history Of the stage, and
let in be humbly whispered In caves

slight variation Of features. Ever since
that time there have been a great num-
Der Of public and semipublic exhibit
tions of this kind, the chief feature OF
which has been the artistic and
graceful dancing of children between
z and IA years OF age. Numer-
Gus schools have sprung up In the
city. and most OF them have a very ex.
cellent corps OF teachers and a crowd OF
enthu siastic pupils. 'DO not imagine"
said one OF the teachers, that the de-
sire to learn fancy dances is confined to
children alone" A few questions
brought out the fact that since the adj
rem OF the skirt dance, with its multi
form e%xtravagances, the girls have been
seized with a perfect craze to become
proficient In its intoxicating delight.
The smartly gowned and dashing fair
Sirls TO whom McAllister's young men
bow with Difference and alteration, as
well as their equally chic though not
so rich sisters, all are intent on rivaling
Loie Fuller, Carmencita and other stars
Of lesser magnitude.
LONG TRAINING REQUIRED.
The universal opinion among teach
ers OF fancy or ballet dancing is that II
parents intend to have their children
adopt dancing as a profession they must
place them under a teacher as early as
possible. Even so tender an age as six
years is by no means considered too
early by the old school OF teachers.
There is, perhaps, no art which exacts
so much downright drudgery and hard
work on the part Of the pupil as does
dancing. There are many doting
parents who fondly imagine that be-
cause their little girl has made a hit
in a butterfly ball she, with a few
weeks instruction, can become a full
ledged ~coryphee. These hopes are
rudely shattered when they are inform
ed by any conscientious i%nstructress
that to acquire even a fair amount Of
proficiency II takes from five to ten
years OF work OF the hardest kind.
Though there has been q tremendous
increase In the demand for ballet and
fancy dancers, there has been a corre-
spending inclination to lessen the task
