FAIRIES OF THE 1EyEMsS

The Beautiful Sidewalk Dancers who swInS
TO the Music OF Hand-organs.
On Frankfort street the other day where the
big bridge IL on one side OF the street and
tenements face 1t. tvo little children wore
dancing to the tunes that hand organ man
ground out. They danced so beautifully that
passers-by stopped to look on. people came out
OF the tenements and saloons and shops. and Q
crowd collected. What the little girls danced
was very like the caprice" that IL being
taught In the dancing academies this winter
They tripped forward and kicked out the right
leg. turned right about face. tripped the other
way and flung out the left leg Then they en-
braced and waltzed around and around. This
formula they repeated again and again. They
wore poor little girls and perhaps a dozen
years old. In shabby short dresses. with hair
that fioated-none too we'll combed-ln the air
as they danced The most Intelligent men APP
plauded them. and the most hardened bum
msrs from the saloons erinned with pleasure
30 ingenious and pretty was the step. SO light
and fairylike were the dancers. that the sight
OF them-in such a place-was to be remsm-
bered longer than men would remember
dance at splendid theatre.
One OF the spectators happened. later In the
afternoon. to be passing along Nassau street
when he heard hand organ and saw the same
stopped to watch and admire them. and this
time he noticed q queerer thing than he had
observed before. As was the case In Frankfort
street. the children were dancing to the merry
tune OF Daisy" but presently the organ
grinder clicked a stop or lever on the side OF
his organ and began to play Tho Marseil-
laise., which. as every one knows. is a rather
slSwi heroic martial tune-ths very Last one to
little girls Kept on with their pretty waltzing
and marching and counter marching. their
dainty kicking and their whirlabouts. The
spectator walked away wondering,
Later still, at supper time this same specta-
tor. now on broadway, saw an organ grinder
and two little. girls dancing to his music In
the same way In front Of old st. Paul,s Church.
The spectator now had com paniOn with him.
Come said he. want you to see these
It was wonderful how prettily they danced"
Come along. said the companion; here's
our car; hop aboard. Where have you been
all winter1 Those girls were pretty and In
terestinR when they began, but now it's get
ting tirosome. That organ grinder hires them
70 go around With him and dance in that way.
shame that some one does not see that those
little girls are kept at school or at home"
