The small glass windows and blinds

Among the decorators who will make
designs are several Well-knoWn

Objections q The lwallz.

objections to the waltz, and propose Il
modify it.

with the Boston Journal said:
1.-The waltz. as danced now, has be-
come only romp, in which lady Is
run the length of drawing room by
her partner, and then run back again
This is result of the two-step waltz,
which has come to be so universal that
there are many people now who dance
nothing but two-step to everything.
This will be done away with very
largely, although just what will take
it's place 1t viii not be possible for us
to say until later in the session. There.
is no doubt, though. but this is the
most important problem with which
the convention is to deal

new steps and figures are originated.

take some step. or go through some
motion, which is absolutely incorrec,
so far as that dance is concerned, but

OF course the working out is Il matter

might make the experiment of a few cans
at least. The fruit is peeled and sliced
and then placed in cans. These are filled
to Overlooking with cold water. and the
tops screwed on. only this. and nothing
more" The rhubarb keeps in perfect
condition. Nor it is to be despised, in the
coming cold months, when used in the
shape of an open tart. For this the pie
plant is stewed sweetened. and put into
a dish lined with puff paste when baked
and while still hot it should be eaten
