that can be taught. 1t is sprightly rather
grace.

More Fancy Dances.
1t Is impossible to describe even one of
these in small space. Let your little girl
learn them at a school or learn them your
self and pass them on to her. Give her the
different castanet dances to teach her all
the beautiful swaying motions that the
southern peoples know. La Cachuaa and
La Zigarilla are best for this. The rainbow
dance, with its many colored ribbons; the
wreath dance, the skipping rope dance, all
make HeT supple. Inc ulHerent 0OrnplpeS,
sailors, fishers and fireman'S, best
adapted to the boys. La Tyrolienne and La
Jote Andaloure are charming. The old-time
mnuet will give poise to all the little folks
and certain dignity of motion which has
it's place even among the merry young peo-
pie.
1t is all such fun that before you know
it the little lady has come to point her toes
outward, as the dances compel her to do;
she is erect, but not stiff; she walks well;
she is not inconvenience by too many
arms.
Best wishes for little Miss c. and all
those of her kind.
