Our idea is this: The County Act
case should be taken up at once by
the Supreme Court. There is no
reason why it should not, save that
the Judges wish to retire to their
Summer homes for the wsrm-day
outings. II the Judges are really
running short OF sap and their brains
are weary from the arduous work of
the year, we would vote them a va
cation. But such is manifestly not
the case. Lst them stay by their
work, for which they are we'll paid,
until the County bill matter is out
OF the way, then their vacations may
be extended indefinitely into the
Autumn 80 far az we care.

Popular in European Cities.

set. It was an enchantment for the
eyes. But the cakewalk!"
"The cakewalk? Mon Dieu, it Is
nice, or rather 1t Is strange and I'M
expected" replied Rosita Mauri. "But
it has no connection with the dance.
When one sees it for the first time
one Is surprised and amused, but l
doubt very much that the taste for it
will keep 1t on the stage.
Notice" continued the ballerina,
notice how easy the cakewalk is to
learn. There is one explanation of
its success. The young maids and
matrons of society who revel in it
have never, | fancy, sought to become
classical dancers. The classical
dances require too much time, too
much effort, while the cakewalk is
an affair of a few lessons"
All this is taking a light thing seri-
ously. And the curious thing to
Americans in Paris is the seriousness
with which the cakewalk's innumer-
able French admirers defend it.
"But what al you see in it?" I
have been asking a couple of my
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1903-04-11

ooh, yes, everything is American
nowadays" said Mr.. Lopp c%ontented
ly. "For years now I have been tell.
ing the young Parisians what they
ought to dance, and they have taken
my word for it. 1t is amusing to hear
them pronounce the American names:
'Tree-step,' 'Boh-Stone' (for Boston,,
'Nev-Por' (for Newport) and 'Har-var'
(for Harvard). OF all these Ameri.
car dances the Boston has been the
most popular and it will last the
longest"
"And the cakewalk?"
"Six months and more ago l said
I would have them dancing it," re.
piled this American in Paris. You
know it has been made into some.
thing like a real dance, don't you?
Well, it is novel and amusing"
But does that account for the
cakewalk's immense and immediate
vogue?" I asked.
Mr.. Lopp was not sure about 1t.
"The time must be ripe for it," he
said after long reflection. eve must
be living in a cakewalk period"

Vienna. So Paris correspondents in
Vienna gravely discuss it. Will ii
conquer the Vienna waltz? They
actually ask this question. "The opin.
ion seems to be unanimous" writes
the correspondent, that the cake,
walk will never succeed in deposing
the waltz from its proud position in
Viennese society,"" Among other
celebrities, Signora Irene Sironi, the
"prima ballerina" Of the Vienna
Court opera. was interviewed on the
momentous subject.
"The cakewalk is no dance at all"
says Signora Sironi. All of which is
t~elegraphed to Paris.
Then they interview Rosita Mauri,
who for many years has been the
great high queen Of ballet at the
Paris opera.
"Of late years we have seen on the
stage certain dances which certainly
have not developed from the pure
classical tradition" began the inter-
viewer timidly. "Yet we applauded
them. The naturalist quadrille, the
can-can and chahuts Of the music
halls, involving as they did a not I'M
pleasing billowy effect Of lingerie,
were called Partisan. And the lumin-
Gus dances of La Loie Fuller! Her
peplum took harmonious folds dear
to the lovers of Greek statuary, and
her scarfs scintillated with a thou

by the Comtesse de Talleyrand-Peri-

Marquis de Massa, the Comte Stanis-

Jesse, marquise or duchesse, perform

says a Paris letter to the New York
Press.
Night after night, in the SWEETEST
social circles, in the wealthy middle
class sets. in the poor relation and
outsiders coteries, down to the little
b~ourgeoisie itself, the "cakewalk" tri-
umphs. There is not a dancing master
in the capital who does not have his
cakewalk classes. And now, in this
last week. those who wish to get it
perfect go to "Florodora" at the
Bouffes, to see the cakewalk danced
''by six beautiful American girls and
four negroes!"
1t is a craze that has come to Paris.
And from Paris it has gone on to

fathers were. We are changed. The
life Of open air sport, Of racing,
cycling, automobiling, ballooning and
the rest of it has made all robust. We
are becoming Americanized. And
So"
"And So"
sand SO we rise on our hind legs
and prance and shout!"
l heard much the same thing from
the American high priest Of society
dancing in Paris, the now famous
George Washington Lopp, in his
washington Palace" just behind the
Elysee Palace hotel. Some one has
been backing up Mr.. Lopp in a mil
lion-franc enterprise, and the result
is this really wonderful washington
Palace" No dancing master in Paris
or elsewhere, ever had such an estab-
lishment before. All the great build
ing is his own and built according to
his plans. For eight years past Mr..
Lopp has been teaching American
dances to the children of Partisan
high society. These children are now
y grown-ups.

sprig of society, the other a physi-
clan, a m~iddle-aged man, who ought
to know better and does not. what
can you see in it? You know nothing
Of the American darby, with his
rocco elegance of dress and move

lesque rejoicing in his lively graces."
NO." they reply, "but the attitudes
and movements of the cakewalk are
in themselves amusing, taking and
novel. And we are not so ignorant Of
the negro as you may imagine. We
can figure to ourselves the original
cakewalk."
