Famous Chicken Dance.

The fertile genius of some so"
ciety woman has invented the
chicken dance" and in the Cir
cles where so much time is spent
in showing how viciously fool
ish people can be the dance prom
ises to be the rage until some
new folly takes its place.
In truth something was badly
needed to revive the jaded nerves
and tastes of the idle rich. Mon
key dinners and dog parties had
lost their novelty, the bear dance
was somewhat of back number,
and, for a wonder, there were no
family scandals being aired.
Society was at its wits end.
Life was losing its charm for its
danes and demoiselles, and shall
low-brained men. Of course
they could have engaged in be-
nevolent and other uplifting
work, but that is too plebian and
only fit for low-browed socio-
logists. And, anyway, what is
the uplift of humanity compared
to teaching an ape to sit at din
ner or the creation of new diver
sions? What society needed was
something intellectual and in
spring, and it has it in the
chicken dance"
We have never seen the dance
but we have seen chickens. We
admire their graceful movements
especially when they are being
chased out of a neighbours gar
den and when they so daintily
lift their feet out of the mud
Under such circumstances they
are in gracefulness of action and
in beauty a combination Of Di'
ana and Venus. And if the
dance is true to nature, which
doubtless it is, what fascin'
ating spectacle to gods and mer
its votaries must present. Yet
after all, one cannot but thinl
that such a triumph of terpsi
chorean art is somewhat of I
reflection upon the chicken.
