At the Bridge

THE poor and old, the halt and
blind, / see them standing every
day where all the webs OF traf-
fic wind. They stin must work to
make life pay The barest thread il
seems TO me-thes hell Of living just
is left-of youth. Of sight, of strength.
Of power these human wrecks stand
all bereft Sometimes, the sky above
is sometimes. the winds and
flood tides meet and batter youth
whose primes stil due and whirl
strength from its struggling feet But
still they stand, these piteUus ones
whose heritage seems all forlon.
Meath driving rain and burning suns
see them there each passing morn.
] stand and wonder what life means
II all its beauty you have lost. II
still some zest mere living CLEANS, If
anything was worth this cost-this
debt the outworn cripples pay as still
they stand on weary feet throughout
the dragging working day, where all
the webs Of traffic meet. The sky
above Is blue-and far a hurried
stream of life flows by. I stand and
WONDER. whose star may sink or
rise in that great sky. Perhaps who
knows-these crippled men knew
riches lost on you and me, who Won

eyes refuse to see. For living i, no
outer shell you polish and you make
TO glow. II is the things YOU can do
well-it is the things you feel and
know; not what YOU have. but what
you crave-not what you lost, but
what you are. And from their wreck,
perhaps they save hopes higher than
our youth dreams are.
with sighlless eyes-with stum-
bling feet-with mangled limbs orl
twisted face, they stand where webs
of traffic meet and hold me awestruck

Put self in the background You
may long to talk: keep silent that
your friends may enjoy their voices.
You may have opinions that are not

and an argument where there is
friendship, becomes a dispute, and
disputes are fatal.
Go Back to the Books.
You. must learn to bear and for

little woes, and forget your own are
greater. You must make no demands
on the time of others, but be willing

Ruled by Fixed Laws.

France was at its zenith at that
time The kings armies were vic
torious everywhere in the field. il
was the golden age of art and liter
allure. Racine and Corneille were
writing their great tragedies. Moliere
presented his own immortal comedies
at the court theater at Versailles.
But these great men, and all other
artists and musicians, were governed
by a code of rigid forms by which
they must write. compose or paint.
From the architect who built the pal
aces to the man who made the king s
clothes every one was ruled by Ger
tain fixed laws of convention and etl-
quette from which they could not es-
cape.
Romantic chivalry of the Middle
Ages had disappeared and a formal
code Of etiquette had taken its place.
Men and women considered manners
Of the utmost importance; they Guilt
waited physical grace within certain
very circumscribed limits. and the
minuet gave them the chance 10 show
off these graces to the very best ad-
vantage.

Laid Down by Rule.

There is not a breath Of freedom or
natural movement. II is laid down
by custom and rule.
The. minuet flourished as long as
the kings did. and it was swept away
with them in the French revolution.
Since the great revival of dancing
the minuet has been performed con-
siderably, especially at great enter
tainments or for charity. 1t is not a
dance that inspires young people Of
to-day as the one-step does, and IL
will never be popular again in its old
and complicated forms.
II took three months Of hard study
TO learn the great minuet of the court
for ii was a very slow dance, and re-
quired great sense Of rhythm, per-
lection of balance and expert man
agement on the part Of the lady of a
long court train. A special turn with

in which it is invented. The minuat

at the end got the train into place.
The women wore full court cos
tune, powdered wig, very tight stays
and extremely high heels. Naturally,
il was difficult to maintain their bal
anCe, and as every movement was
watched and criticised, YOU may hr
sure the bellies of those days were
careful not to give their rival beau
ties any reason to condemn their

Expected To Be Witty.
In a book by the royal dancing
master of the time, 25 pages are de-
voted alone TO the first curtsy which
opens the dance. for every little
movement had indeed a meaning all
its own in the days of Louis Of
France.
The gallant courtier. while leading
the fair lady through the mazes Of
the dance was expected TO enchant
her with the wittiest and cleverest
talk. The dance, which is really q
stately walk, interspersed with pretty
groupings of the partners and deep
curtsies, was calculated never TO put
any one out OF breath as our rough
modern dances do. You can not think
OF the great king putting around. He
had TO be considered i'm every way.
and his dignity was the dignity Of
the nation, and had to be preserved.
