So many conflicting accounts Of
General FunstOn's part in the Cuban
campaign prior to the Spanish-Amer-

their last stand against Spain, should
have the attention of everyone who
wishes to know the truth of that his

Good Natured Rivalry to Excel in the
Forthcoming May

II seems but a few weeks since the
bill boards and newspapers announced
a series of May balls Everybody went
10 see the little ones "trip the light fan
tastic," and help out the mothers and
sisters and aunts In applauding var
ious little dancers.
But the season is on again. and in
week or two the dancing classes VIII
have been permanently formed and the
schools hard at work getting ready for
next years s May ball, which Is always
the center of interest and the goal for
which pupils and teacher work the
whole year round
As year after year comes, local
dancing schools report an increase in
their membership and from the pros

season might be something Of a record
breaker Every child. boy and girl,
goes through the age of yearning 10

talking of the dancing schools and the

disciple of TerpsichOre has been found.
Part Of the Child's Education.
1t has come TO the point now when
almost half the children in Washington
are enrolled In one or the other of the
local schools. Parents look after this
branch of their education almost as
soon as the children are entered in
other schools. and il has come 10 be
almost as important that the young
sters shall learn grace OF body as to
have their intellect developed.
Teachers Of dancing schools have en-
tered into good natured rivalry and
each waits for The end of the season 10
observe Just what the other has ac-
COmplished. The consequence of this
rivalry is that instructors spend the
greater part OF their summer in learn
Ing new dances and IN working Up
novelties which each hopes the other
will NOS have. Many of the teachers
this year have spent considerable of
their time IN New. York and a few have
even gone abroad IN an effort 10 see

New York there are regular classes fOT

New and Novel Dances.
When they return and introduce
many new and fantastic steps into the
old routine il always seems as if the

had been exhausted. But there are al
ways more novelties and plenty of
them This year several teachers have
brought back solo and concert dances
