In London the debutantes are hard at

Of these steps are rather complicated,

The new dances are one of the first
things in which the influence OF the
young English queen is being felt.
Mary of England is an admirer OF any
thing that is beautiful and graceful.
She dislikes anything that is the
slightest approach to roughness. The
courtly manners and charming pos
turings and movements of former days
always have been highly regarded by
her. Thus the new dances have her
great appreciation. Meantime the
fashionable and gay Londoners are
mourning little. At any rate, they
are obedient, since the merest Sug-
gestion of "Englands first lady" is a
command. But the livelier dances OF
the last few years have been very
popular. The kitchen lancers," for
example, has proved unfailing fun.
