its patriotic son, and whether he can
be in his native State, or must remain
at his post in Washington, j. Sterling
Morton observes the day in an appro-
pirate manner. In his drawing-room,
where he entertains with his sister,
there are pots Of palms and flowers,
and with his own hands the Secretary
cultivatss the plants, setting them out
and watering them, and making them
grow alter the fashion advised often
to his grandchildren in the holidays at
Arbor Lodge. From now on, until the
winter again, the Secretarys fire place
in Washington stands thick with grow
ing palms and ferns, and shade loving
plants.
The selection of State flower seems
to follow Arbor Day. Nearly every
s. ate now has its own flower, and the
selection ranges from the pine cone ana
tassel Of Main to the Golden Rod or
Oregon; from the Cypripodium OF Min
nesota TO Alabama, where the Golden
Red is popular again.
Arbor Day enthusiasts look forward
TO the time when the day shall be
national holiday, like certain great fete
days of Germany and England and
France. No. by any means day of OBJ
| legations, but one Of fesivity in all out

The programme prepared by Sen
ator who is in favor of a national and
universal holiday is as follows:
City chimes and bells playing such
hymns as:

A day like this is very attractive in
sound. Many would treat it as they
now treat legal holidays-as their own

way! Old Midsummer Day in July was
similar holiday in England; and it is
very likely that in a few years this
country, which is becoming more and
more leisurely, will give itself day like
this! HARVEY LINCOLN.

a beautiful and impressive one. It is
confined largely TO school children in
New York State, but is of nature that
all can enjoy, as all enjoy Memorial
Day. In most States it is celebrated
now by the elders.
In New York there is no legal ArbOr
Day holiday. and the selection is left
with the public school board, which Sc
lects a day and orders the school teach
ers to prepare for it. The way of pre-
pairing is to tell the children TO come
that day with as many flowers as they
can get together.
The children assemble in the school
rooms. with visitors present. Poems
are read. Bryant's Forest Hymn, 80
voted by the teachers of the schools the
most beautiful poem of outdoor life, is
read aloud. There are songs of trees
and flowers and forests and meadows.
More Rotations follow and the children
go home all wearing flowers.
This is in State where Arbor Day is

danced three times. 1t is used as the
first figure, the last figure and the mid
die one This brings it in often enough
to make it the principal movement of
the dance.
In the "Josephette," which starts out
strong enough to become a popular
summer dance, the couple START by TAX
ing hold of hands. The first movement
is a dignified walking step, with foot
we'll advanced to the front. Six steps
are taken. Then the couple face each
other, taking hold of hands. The foot
of the lady is advanced at the side, also
that Of her partner Both point" the
toe, making a pretty movement with
the foot. The other toe is then pointed
in the same way. Then they take waltz
position and waltz several times
around.
If this is danced to galop time, as is
the preotiest way, the waltz movement
is kept up throughout, the feet keeping
unconscious time to 1t in the steps and
side movements. II the polka time is
used the entire dance is polka instead
of a waltz.
After the six forward steps of the
"Josephette" are taken, and the toe is
being pointed first at one side and then
at the other, there comes the opportun-
ity for the gracefullness which every
dance must have to be popular.
AS summer dance this is danced
beth afternoons and evenings, as a
pretty new dance of the season, and
when introduced in a cotillon It is
graceful as can be. The cotillon is
then called the "Josephette cooillon,"
after its principal figure.
THE PORTIA.
The new summer dance that will be
popular with the young people who like
to take up novelties to satisfy their in
satiable craze for dancing is the "Por-
tia" In this dance, which is a round
dance, the pair face each other and join
both hands. The gentleman takes five
steps backward, keeping hold Of the
lady's hands. This order Is then re-
versed. The lady takes five steps back
ward, still keeping hold of her part
ner's hands. The music is to polka

the piano and who can put that popular
hymn to waltz time will have the music
of the summer girls "Loyanra."
The steps with this music BEGIN by q
waltz three times around Next waltz
step three times backward and three
times forward. Then a separation.
The summer girl waltzes around three
times ''by her Lonesome" as the first
girl who tried the music after it was
written suggested, and the man does
the same. AS they walt around sepa-
rately they keep the same spot upon
the floor and touch hands high in the
air as they happen to turn face to face
in the three revolutions. In shorter
words, he waltzes around three times
alone. and so does she. As they turn
they touch hands when they can.
They finally clasp again in waltz en-
brace and waltz three times around.
This is a very pleasing summer dance TO
those who are more fond of the waltz
than of any other round dance.
DANCING BY NOTE.
All three OF these dances are easily
learned from these simple instructions
written for them, and with her notes
in her hand the summer girl will care
fully step through the parts Of the "Jo-
sephette," the "Portia," and the "Lov-
anna" and be prepared to teach them
by moonlight on the veranda TO the
summer young man ere he steps into
the parlor to take proud place among
those who have already mastered the in
tricacies.
The dancing gown Of the summer girl
will be short enough TO show her slip
pers. and slippers will be a feature of
the summer on that very account. And
carrying the logic another step further
the dances will be accommodated to the
slippers, and will be designed to show
them of well.
In the "Josephette" the summer girl
will hold back her skirt al the sides and
point her toes prettily. If in costume
the man does the same with his buckled
shoes. In the plain drawing room
dance the man does not sleep lightly
as it is considered either cid style OF
effeminate to do so, but in the costume
cotillion he vies with the summer cir

in a pirouetting gracefully down the
room.
When the dances of next summer are
danced to quick time the summer girl
will rest her hand upon her side In
plantation style, with head slightly tip
ped to the side. This gives a jaunty
abandon very fetching to the onloo-
err In the slow dances the more grace
full cotilion trick OF holding out the
skirt will be adopted.
1t is a very cunning cOnceit OF the
summer girl to invent her own dance
and name it after herself. THE Leda,
La Louise" THE Marguerite" are
planned, danced and named by the
young originators thereof.
Many coming summer bellies visit the
dancing masters to ask OF them how 10
invent new summer round dance. inc
advice OF one of the most celebrated OF
these masters is as follows:
INVENT YOUR DANCE.
Select the measure in which you are
most at home, whether waltz, polka or
galop. Stand before mirror and try
by what revolutions, side steps and
easy movements of the arms you can
make graceful figures. Have music
playing all the while. When you nave
selected few graceful movements, you
can combine them and try them with
somebody else. Remember that Two
people dance a round dance; and never
forget the dignity that is the only ex-
cuse of the round dance 4 dance that
would be pretty for girl alone would
be ridiculous for two people.
Cotillons and costume dances VIII
be much in favor. There will be the
Shakespearian quadrilles, when Romeo
and Juliet meet more happily than they
did on earth and when Portia ana her
spouse enjoy undisturbed felicity ana
when Hamlet and Ophelia bury thelF
Ratchet in the strains Of the dance.
The wild dances that threatened 10
wreck the round dance have been
abandoned. The reckless side fiinss:
the kicking movement at the 'front.' and
the Indian rush down the room are sue
ceeded by all that is lovely In the
dance movement. .D

Logically, the busiest time OF the
dancing masters is in the fall, wnen
young limbs must be taught the mystic
Of the maZes.
AS an actuality, their busiest time
comes in the spring, when they are get
ting ready for the summer-resort no
tells and the dances of August.
In the autumn there are children S
dancing schools and dancing classes OF
the young people But the children are
always to be taught the same rudlments
year after year, which instructors
know by heart, and the young people
are consented with their cotillons and
germans. So the real work comes in
the summer time, when the bathrooms
of hotels are open and the summer girl
wants to dance a new dance.
Each summer must be provided with
something entirely new. II must vary
from last years dance not only in name
and step but in style and measure. One
year light and quick; next year slow
and dignified.
PRETTY JOSEPHETTE.
There have been several new dances
written this spring by GlfrerenC dancing
professors, and several more by well
known leaders of cotillons. A cotillon
leader is a born dancer whose taste
upon matters of dancing and costume
is unquestioned, and whose word upon
dance is sufficient to make or mar ii
forever.

Written for the Register.
There's a little brown house In quiet
street,
Where the jasmines are climbing over;
Where the merry patter of tiny feet
Rings soft as the song of lover.
The mother stands waiting for me at the
gate,
A smile on her patient face beaming.
And l laugh at the whitening winds of fate
When the love-light in her eyes is gleam-
mig.
Through the long, weary day In the great
noisy city
dream of the home-nest in that quiet
street,
And my heart is oft moved with compass
sion and pity
For those whom at eventide loved ones
ne'er greet.
What care for wealth or the trappings
of fame
If the mother and child are safe from all
harm?
My heart leaps with rapture at sound of
the name
That is hallowed by mother-love's mag
ical charm.
No king in his palace e'er knew half the
joy
That I feel as each evening I greet
The sweet, patient mother and rosy faced
boy,
In the little brown house at the end of
the street.
