used Markets as Dancing Places
LONDON, Feb. is.-There is no longer
any danger Of the quaint old English
morris dances and games dying out
for they are now being taught TO children
and older persons under the auspices
of the London County Council
Some years ago Miss Margaret Hughes
started TO do philanthropio work among
the coster girls and factory workers Of the
East End Of London. She noticed that
nothing pleased them so much as the visit
OF a street organ to their district and that
they would dance in the middle OF the
street as long as the organ grinder played.
Miss Hughes had always been interested
in the dances Of bygone England. which
were fast dying out and she conceived
the idea Of teaching these East End dancers
the steps and games OF the old days.
She studied old books and prints at the
British Museum and she visited remote
country villages where the very oldest
inhabitants remembered the dancing
on the green; then she started in to give
the East End a new interest in life.
1t was not at all difficult TO organize
classes among the coster children. They
we're only too eager and the difficulty
was to find places for all who wanted to
join. Miss Hughes started with the
children. but the older boys and girls
and the young men and women begged
TO learn also and the teacher found hcr
work growing out Of all proportion to
its moderately planned beginning.
School boards saw the results Of Miss
Hughes's training OF the children and Miss
Hughes was appointed under the London
County Council to teach the Council
teachers in the public schools the old ma
tionai dances and games so that they in
turn can instruct their scholars.
More than hundred teachers attend the
lectures and dancing lessons. Some are
middle aged women. head school mis-
tresses who have never danced, but they
are among the most eager pupils.
After the course Of lessons is completed
these erstwhile scholars undertake the
instruction Of the school children under
their charge and the result has been most
gratifying. 1t has brought new life into
the elementary schools and the effect on
the boys and girls is most marked. They
are gayer. brighter and healthier.
Last May Day In many Of the squares In
the slum districts Of London May poles
were erected and the children tripped
around them with the quaint steps and
gestures Of the morris dancers Of old,
This proved so pretty spectacle and gave
so much pleasure to onlookers, friends
and performers that plans have been
made for more elaborate and numerous
dances this coming May Day.
The ancient English morris dance which

A LITTLE TRAGEDY. a
what Happened When . Bunch OF Violets
Was Put Out on a window Sill.

Was Put Out on a window sili.
/ To some this might seem a comedy.
but to those concerned it was nothing less
than a tragedy.
Agatha gave to Adelia bunch Of violets;
a great, noble bunch. which Adelia wore
proudly on her corsage by day and which,
to get right down to the details she set
out on the wihdowsill at night. where they
would keep cool and fresh. 80 that they
would he in good condition to wear tho
next day. But the next morning when
she went TO take them in there rang
through the house Tread fat here) wild
despairing cry:
Where are my violets''
And. sure enough. where we're they.
They'd been blown away
And then followed eager looking in
the area and on the sidewalk below; with
Adelia exclaiming; My violets- All
gone ! think that the person that would
walk of with bunch Of violets In a fend!'
And then mother ventured to say mildly
that when she puts a bunch Of yiolets
out on the window sill she ties string TO
1t and shuts the window down on the
string, but Adelia says it was so calm when
she put them out! There was no wind
at all, and she doesn't unde rstand how
they could have blown away, and now
she doesn't want to 60 anywhere or do
ANYTHING. Her violets!
But maybe they had lodged on some
windowsill lower down or had fallen into
the area and been by the janitor taken
in, and so they inquire; but there Is moth
ing doing: the "fiend' who had picked
them up had carried them away, and
lucky it was for him they hadn't fallen
on him. for they were in big square,
heavy purple box, and II that box had
hit him on the head it would have dented
his hat In anyway.
But now. alas! the violets we're gone,
never to return, and then Sister Agatha
disappeared for little while, and then
pretty soon there comes for Adelia an
other great bunch Of violets And then
says Adelia to Agatha.
hYol oughtnt to have done II! You
oughtn't TO have done it,
But truly the violets are beautiful, and
this bunch Adelia will never let blow
away. When she puts this bunch out on
the window sill she ties a string TO IL and
brings the string inside and shuts the
window down on IL and then ties the
string to a chair. IL this bunch goes 1t

there was the appealing personality of
Mary Garden to draw the public to the
Manhattan.
She was, moreover, to take advantage
Of every opportunity offered by the part
Of Sdiome, even to dancing at the request
Of Herod, just as all the European Sclomes
do at present. SO the success Of Mr..
Hammerstein's experiment is doubtless
due in a considerable degree to Miss
Gardens popularity.
When the opera was sung two years
ago at the Metropolitan it was wholly
Teutonic in spirit. Carl Burrian, the

under the composers direction and Alfred
Hertz had studied the score with Richard
Strauss. SO it was not alone the Use OF

Now "Salome" has come into its own

will never again be smirched by the
Biblical tragedy according to the pres
ent outlook.
The success OF the opera has this year
exceeded the expectations of the most
informed operate prophets. When the
work was prohibited after one public
rehearsal and one performance at the
Metropolitan Opera House there was
no great advance sale for seats. There
had been an encouraging demand for
places to hear the work. but nothing
more than that.
So it seemed uncertain that Oscar
Hammerstein could fill his opera house
for repeated productions Of the opera,

which is probably the best atmosphere

There are three reasons why the opera
OF 'Salome' should crowd the Manhattan
Opera House. lgnace Paderewski said
the other day. -One is the beautiful and
dramatic text Of Oscar Wilde. The
second is the wonderful score that Richard
Strauss has composed to illustrate and
adorn the story. The third and Mr..
Paderewski smiled with the irresistible
smile that has done so much toward con-
quering the world for him--the third
is the fact that it has been forbidden"
Perhaps this prohibition added the
touch necessary to whet the public ap-
petite to hear STRAUSS opera. Then
