Facts lbOut the CcisLa Girl

"The idea so general here in Ameri-
ca" said a woman who has just re-
turned from Japan, that the geisha
is a silly, giggling little girl, with
fan must really be corrected. The
geisha in reality is a little genius, bril-
liant as a talker and mistress of the art
of dancing. But she knows that the
Westerner does not understand her
classical dancing and singing, and she
is so refined and charming that she
will not allow YOU to feel you are ig-
norant. but will instantly begin to
amuse you in some way that she thinks
you will enjoy and understand.
She Will. perhaps, unfold paper and
draw rapid character sketches of birds
and Ssh. or dance a sort of spirited
dance that she feels will entertain you.
But If, by good fortune, you can over
persuade geisha to show you a CLASH
cal dance. as ! have done the sight is
one YOU will never forget-the slow,
ldignilied movements, the placing of the
foot and the hand. the equisite curves
and poses of the body forming a diff
ferent picture every second.
There is no rushing about no ac-
Gordon skirts and high kick. Some
times. if the geisha finds that you APP
preciate her fine work. she will give
you limitations of the dancing done
on our Western stage, although 1t is
funny and makes you smile, the con-
trast to the more classical Japanese
dancing strikes you forcibly.
