the very spirit of the dance itself.
When she ceased the beholder drew
in his breath again, like one awakened
from dream, and screamed for more.
This is the woman who to-day hangs
out the modest shingle of the teacher.
The dazzling encourage that once sur
rounded her has resolved itself into a
plain, high ceiled, smoothly fioored
room, where, without affectatlon and
only an occasional reference to the glo-
rious past, she pursues her new calling
The Classical school.
The unique distinction of Madame
Bonfanti's teaching lies in the fact
that she compels the old ballet exer-
cises as the first steps toward grace.
These exercises are the same she her
self learned in Milan, when as chill
of ten her parents gave her over to
the instruction of Carlo Blasts, the
most expert ballet master of the day
Under this gentleman's gifted tutelage
the little girl, who had danced in
stinctively since her first step, quickly
acquired the art which was to make
her famous.

of the big theaters, and If you are
lucky enough to witness her give a
lesson it is something you will never
forget.
The visitor goes up a tall stoop and
presses a button, above which are the
simple words, Marie Bonfanti." The
door opens, and down the hall, at a
bigger one, stands a sprightly little
figure in a short, black satin dress,
a woman so young and graceful still,
you refuse to believe in the forty
eight years she presently lays claim
to.
A stream of pretty broken English
follows:
''You hat come to see my school?
Yes! Sect down."
And on the highest of heels, with
, exquisite accompaniment of hands,
arms and head, you are shown some
of the ballet exercises society girls
are coming here to practice.
The room is the typical one of the
dancing academy, with the exception
of a ballet bar along the side walls.
This holds at one point a strap for the
shaping of the instep, and below it on
the CLASSY floor there is a paper of
powdered rosin for timid, slipping feet.
Presently as three handsomely
dressed young ladies take their de-

Dwight Hills is a genuine American,
self-made, democratic the friend of the
common people, simple in manner and
language, refined in all his instincts,
sympathetic, kind and gentle, natural
peacemaker, dreading to Offend like his
Master indignant in the presence of Of
Tense, but merciful, kind and full Of
pity in the presence of the offender. He
is an idealist pre-eminently, with his
mind ever in the clouds and yet with
a delicate sense of humor that saves
him from becoming a mere visionary,
a dreamer, or a 'transcendalist. He is
not a theologian in the ordinary sense,
for he loves flowers more than botany.
He is not aggressive. He is a subtle in
terpreter of divine truth, the center of
whose planetary system is the same as
that of the Gospels. He is a close stu
dent of the unseen, because not drop
of blood in his veins is coarse, sensual
or vulgar The body is servant, not
his master. His sense of the beautiful
the artistic, the poetic is exquisite, as
his books reveal, and because the
streams that feed the intellectual are
spiritual. DR.. Hills will stimulate
thought; he compels men to think"
