Daysey Mayme never stands in line.
Stepping ahead of all the women pres
ent, she said in the loud and lofty tones
of those to whom the high cost of liv-
ing means nothing:
Send me up two cheap little steaks.
Oh, about SO each, if you have them. l
guess that kind will do"
The butchers eyes glistened at such
an order. and the other women who
had been grumbling because soup bones
had advanced from nine cents to eleven
cents. stared in amaze.
Having made the desired impression,
Daysey Mayme followed the butcher to
the back of the store, presumably to
see what he was going to cut off
When they were out of earshot of the
others she said in whisper: "I have
changed my mind about the steak.
Please send up FIVE cents worth of
liver"

had to stand on tip-toe to powder it,

TNHERE is difference between the
dances of last year and those
which will be popular this COM
ing season.
Last year to dance well you had only
to initiate some one else.
This year, to be a successful dancer
in the drawing room as on ,the stage,
you must have Imagination and origi-
nality.
AS far as the stage goes, the turkey
trot and similar dances are a thing of
the past, and nothing is so completely
dead as a thing that is passed in the
theatrical world.
The dances which we do could be
transported to the drawing room with
out any difficulty at all. There is moth
ing suggestive about them. and, except
in few cases, the acrobatic features
could be eliminated without detracting
from the dance
My first dance, and | speak as the
elder sister. being fifteen minutes older
than Rose. is a dance of Irritation and
coquetry; almost any good dancer could
arrange it by simplifying ii a little and
make very pretty drawing room dance

a very pretty step is one called

taken with the right foot, both part

There is a momentary balance with
the left foot up. a slight mop with the
right up, and the two-step is resumed,
with the next glissade on the left foot.

amount, however, is subject to some
