cHAHUT AS DANCED IN PARIS
A Terpsichorean Effort In Which
the Skirts Play n Leading Part.

A TerpsichOrean Effort In Which
Skirts Play n Leading Part.
AS danced in the Jardin de Paris the
chahut is primarily nothing more than
the old quadrille with this difference
instead Of the usual dccorous waikiki
bout the utmost liveliness is essential
And with respect to this great liveliness,
the management of the skirts is all in
all. Apart from this it's humorous ex-
aggerations, in Which the fancy Of the
performer mingles with certain stereo-
typed gags, and it's real grace would
commend it us Il pretty dance to seri-
GUS minded people. But, according to
the Philadelphia Press, it would have
nothing to warrant its continued popu-
larity as Il spectacle and draw English
and American tourists to it's well known
haunts. In the cEahut the skirt per-
forms for the lady's limbs even a great
er Office than that of a frame for a
picture. All the wilfullness, all the CO.
quetry and half the grace and humor
Of the dance is bound up in the whirl-
ing petticoat. 1t gives a pretty occu-
patton for the hands, and it's nice adj
justment affords Il scope for the dane
er's personality within the pauses.
Dropped or raised or pulled to the side
or held rs when II makes courtesy,
as may be, it lerds, at the right mo
ment. just that artistic balance for the
eye and just that spur to the IDEAS
which ere necessary to check safety
and cut eff all risk or tameness. What
can he done with the skirts alone. with
out Il scintilla Of dancing ability, it
was left for Miss Loie Fuller to demon
strate. What can be done with skirts
vel! managed when they I used to
grace so good q darce as the quadrille
is something any l:dy may find out for
herself.
The music of tho chahut must be
spirited; each advance and each retreat
must be bold and vigorous, with some
thing of a business like air about it;
| there must be no sclf-cor seriousness. no
standing still and no. mere walking
round. The slight tagging kills this
species of crazy %quadrille. 1t is loud,
uproarious, interchangeable, AID any
steps that can be made to fit the music
are not only permissible but desirable.
High kicking is only incidental, and the
grand ecart, which is a sliding down
to the floor with one leg pointing north
and the other pointing south, is a re-
finement which may easily be dispensed
| with.

other Democratic repeal senator's have
been actively engaged in arranging the

The reason I did not at the time take
a similar policy in the Equitable was
because 1 had a Tontine policy mature

not to insure in that company again,

A series of illustrations showing the
death masks of famous individuals has
constituted one of the interesting fea-
lures of popular magazine during part
of the present year. The interest awak-
ened by these pictures suggests that
whenever famous individual dies the
impression of his dead face and head
should be taken in a plaster cast. AS a
means of comparison and delineation of
character such cast would be inval-
nable to students of anatomy and biolo-
gy, and to artists as we'll as the general
student. By all means death mask of
Jay Gould should have been taken.
While the record of the Nineteenth CEN
tury lasts the question concerning this
mightiest financier of modern times will
be, In what part of that brain resided
the power that made him what he was?
Other men have died possessed of as
great wealth. No man of Jay Gould's age
-ffty-six-ever amassed as great for
tune as he did by his unaided efforts.
Life masks of famous men are better
than death masks, as the reproduction
of Lincoln's head and face in the maga-
zine referred to shows. This mask is
pronounced without question the most
perfect representation of Lincolns face
in existence" But death masks of great
men are better than no casts at all Of
their heads and faces

Won,t Work.

1t is said that very wealthy married
couple are preparing summer paradise
in New Jersey for journalists and actors
whose income is not more than g., 900 a
year. 1t will have every luxury attain
able on the cooperative and buying at
wholesale basis, but it will be known
distinc.ively as the $4,000 year peoples
home. Persons of education and refined
tastes and no others will be permitted
to buy or rent cottages in this beautiful
home park. They will really have such
accommodations as they would get at
first class summer resorts without the
awful bills attached to first class sum-
mer resorts.
Furthermore, in this delightful re-
treat for actors and literary folk Mrs.
Grundy will be sat upon and silenced.
People can do as they please abso-
lutely, Sundays and other days, inside
the common accepted rules of morality
and good manners. They can ride,
walk or go fishing, and nobody will
mind. Now, outside the impossibility
of anybody doing exactly as he pleases
in the state of New Jersey, the plan, how
ever delightful, will not work. Noactor,
journalist or author would go there, be-
cause he would thereby acknowledge
that his income was $4,000 year and
might be less. a.s
If the philanthropists at the head Of
the scheme would simply give out that
they intend to make beautiful summer
home for colony of actors and literary
and journalistic people, then these would
throng there gladly. But they must
give it no favor of charity. Let them
do all the fine things on the economical
business basis they design, but say not
word about the price. The persons they
design to benefit would find out the econ
omy of the thing fast enough, and would
take advantage of it without having
their pride hurt.
