From the meadow the road began
to ascend. and about noon we started
to climb Greeley Hill a thirteen mile
road leading to its summit. As the
afternoon began to wane, and we had
zigzagged u way over what seemed
to US thirteen miles Of road, we met a
resident Of the region and ventured TO-
ask him how they measured miles in
that country.

how to dance the various new dances
gracefully
BY VERNON CASTLE
Copyright, 1913, by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.)
Ordinarily one of the hardest
things in the world to do is to explain
a dance on paper. But my Castle
Walk is simple and there is very
little about it to describe. You see,
it is nothing but walk! A walk,
though, done as, easily and with as
little effort as possible
The most essential thing in dane
ing it is to be happy-or at least to
dance happily. Do not stiffen the
body at all, but be perfectly natural
and listen to the music, which, if it
has any sort Of swing at all, will make
you feel like walking gracefully. in
time to it. Hold your partner snugly,
but not tightly, little above the
waist and walk on the toes, or ball
of the feet, with a slight swing.
Contrary to the usual custom, it
is the man who should walk forward,
for several reasons. The first is that
it is much easier to walk forward
gracefully, and men as rule do not
dance as gracefully as women.
Again, the'man is obliged to lead and
