Profit and Pleasure in

In the wake Of this new fad has come .
demand for dancing teachers-young

women In the various intricacies OF the
dancers art.
II girls talent lies in dancing. no
vocation specialist will be needed TO point
out the fact. II will be manifest from
her earliest years In marked grace and
itheness Of body In dancing class and In
gymnasium. But natural talent needs
more than natural development, and as
soon as possible systematic instruction
should be begun. At the same time tie
general education should not be neglected.
The moro education the dancer has the
greater will be her opportunities.
Some Of the best dancers in the coun-
try are college girls who have received
their special dancing training in the col
lege gymnasium, where nowadays the
waltz and all sorts Of folk and fancy
dances are considered as essential In a
girls physical education as parallel bar
work or Indian club drill.
But for the girl who does not attend
a college or high school where dancing
is included IN the symnastic instruction
tire best way 70 learn dancing is In one
of the reputable professional dancing
training schools in one OF the large
cities where almost any sort OF course
can be arranged. A month or six weeks
instruction in such school would do
wonders for the girl naturally gifted In
dancing, but q much longer period than
that could be well spent, for there Is 9
