Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-08-06

Fels-Naptha soap Is the best and easi- est way of washing. If Fels-Naptha didn't do what we say it will, no woman would buy second cake. Yet more than mil lion women use Fels-Naptha every wash day. And the number is increasing as fast as its value becomes known.
 If you haven't used Fels-Naptha, try it, according to directions, and on the result we'll stake our chance of making you regular user. For your white things, soap, roll and soak for thirty minutes in cold or lukewarm water no boiling or hot water. Then rub lightly, rinse and hang out to dry. That's all.
 Full directions for all uses of Fels-Naptha on the red and green wrapper.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-08-06

If Fels-Naptha is kept out of the water whio doing the kitchen work it is less expensive to use than the ordinary kinds of soap.

ORIGIN OF DANCES.

The social dance among people of re-
finement is traced from the year 1865,
when assemblies were held in King
street st. James, London. A man
named Almack had three commodious
rooms which he kept in order for the
first club dances spoken of in history.
These dances were rather exclusive and
cost a sum of money equivalent to $50
for a series of twelve, one being given
each week.
The balls at Almack's made and ruled
the fashion in dances from 1865 until
about 1910, when they seemed to drop
out of history entirely. The lady pat
ronesses of this social institution were
absolute in their rule, and an admis-
sion to the sacred portals was an en-
trance to good society.
In 1914 Lady Jersey became the social
star of the London smart set, and so
rigid were her demands that fully
three-fourths OF the nobility of London
knocked in vain at the portals of AL
mack's. A stern rule also forbade the
admittance of anyone after midnight
and il is related that the Duke of Well
ington was once denied admittance be-
cause he came after the prescribed
hour.
The first dances were Scotch reels and

sew ventured to introduce the quadriIle
from France. Because the quadrille
was danced at Almack's it became pop
ular. The figures were intricate. and a
great number of steps We're essential to
the correct Interpretation of the new
dance. The giddy habit of romping
through the figures of a quadrille was
utterly unknown when the dance was
first introduced.
Queen Victoria in her youthful DAYS
was said TO be extremely graceful in
the ouadrille. and held her hands in the
exact position taught by the dancing
masters of the time. She dropped her
skirts and would chase across from side

danced with the same careful attention

was content TO meet at private houses.
Ball-giving hostesses increased in num-
Der so rapidly that subscription balls
were no longer patronized, and thus,
after an existence of ninety years, AL
macks died away.
When the waltz was first introduced
in London it was a graceful dance, and
was danced with absolute precision, en-
tirely different from the indistinct waltz
of the present day.
The polka came from Russia and b.
hemia, and was introduced in London
in 1874 At a fancy ball the original
dancers appeared in picturesque cos

presumably in imitation of the Bohe-
milan costume.
In 1850 Madame Sacre the fashion
able dancing mistress of London, intro
duced the lancers, which was adapted
from an army drill. She obtained four
young ladies to practice the intricate
figures, and they induced four young
men to join them. The lancers was
first danced at the Turkish embassy in
London during the winter of 1850. The
dance, was considered particularly pref
ty and graceful, but very different from
the lancers as we now see it. There
was a certain stately grace about it
which now seems entirely lost.
1t is a noteworthy fact that Strauss
the waltz king, composed waltzes and
polkas that were played at Almack's S,
and Strauss orchestra played at the
coronation of Queen Victoria in 1887.

| ~--N,~A = NSNAfA6s
In conversation recently with prom
inent dealer who has always been a
granite manufacturer, controlling mod
EN- cutting plant with all modern equip
ment, he stated that lie would no longer
manufacture; that this department he

This statement coming from such b
source is a conclusive one for US IN some
thing that we have long suspected from
Iaore illustrations than one; that it Is
not possible for the average man to sue
coed in the cutting of monumental work
that orders can Be placed where for less
price, with manufacturers who make
u their business TO manufacture alone;
that i is not possible to produce the
same results in a plant that is presided
oser by foreman hired by a firm with.
cut practical experience. In other
words, it ~ necessary III this business
in order to succeed to get down to rock
bottom from the standpoint of operat.
ing and living expenses. We are well
aware Of che fact that there are excep.
tons. We can recall three or -four
firms who are evidently prosperous, and
the heads Of which firms are not prac.

made a success where others have fail
cd Is not easy to determine BY those
who are looking at surface Indications,
but suffice to say, they have succeeded
and still continue to succeed but they
are only small number compared with
those who have tried and failed.
The retail dealer mentioned we met
at one Of the quarry centers placing or
ders for monumental work. The or
lers placed were for stock work alone.
