resist, and they glided over the floor
with the grace of a swan.

not dance, but he said that he used tc
dance as gracefully as any of the young
men His left leg is crippled, and now
| he contents himself by looking on.
Before he assembled the stairs, and
while standing on the pavement IN
front of the hall last night talking with
a party of friends, he told about MS
first experience with the popular cake
| walk. He was at party of friends al
home, and someone suggested that
cake walk be added to the programme
of entertainment.
and they danced the cake walk,
said he. And 1 danced, too. Maybe
it was a graceful attitude, or maybe ii
was not-any way, / thought the cake
was mine when the party assembled
all cheered as / pranced through the
antics. But 1 did not win the cake
After the contest my boy came up tc
| me and asked why | didn't stop riSh1
| in the middle of the most exciting par
| of the contest and tie my partners
| shoe lace. Why, it wasn't united, was
| ito and then the folks laughed some
| more / have learned since then that |,
is the proper thing in cake walks tt
pretend to tie your partners shot
| string"
