motion that seems to nave no begin
ming and no end? If SO YOU will have
a pretty fair idea Of what the right
kind Of dipping is like in q dance.
1t is not the sort Of dipping which is
to be seen in every ballroom.
A great many persons dip with the
knee bent and the shoulders thrown
forward. each dip is an individual,
separate movement. The result is
choppy and lacking in grace, and
such dipping soon becomes very tire
some to the dancer.
To dip properly the leg should be
showed forward easily. with the toe
Tightly skimming the floor. But on
no account should the knee be bent
until the toe has touched the floor.
Then. the body should be allowed to
sink slowly, with the right leg bent at
the knee Joint end the left leg cx-
tending, back almost at full length.
This for the forward movement with
merely a change of the bend from one
leg to the other on the backward dip.
To create a. sense Of continuous
w'aveiike dipping. begin by extending
the right toe forward slowly and cas-
lily, then as the right knee is being
bent let the left toe creep slowly
forward until it reaches a point di-
rectly back Of the right heel. Then

Fifty years ago today the Army Of the
Potomac, under Gen. George G. Meade,
advanced from warrenton, Va, where
it had been encamped since October 20,
anR carried by assault the Confederate
defensive works on the Rappahannock
River, capturing two entire brigades, four
cannon, and seven regimental standards.
The prisoners taken numbered about
1000
The loss of the works on the Rappahan-
mock was a severe blow to Gen. Robert
Z. Lee. His army was in no condition for
active operations, and had begun to build
huts for winter quarters behind the Rap
pahannock. Now 1t must fall back behind
the Rapidan River, and await further
movements of the Federals-
Gen. Lee had counted on the Federals
not advancing. He believed they could
not repair the railroad which brought
up their -supplies-which had been de-
stroyed by the .Confederates in the Bris-
toe campaign. so-called-before winter set
in and made military movements imprac-
ticable-
The Bristoe campaign, inaugurated by
Gen. Lee with the hope Of forcing Gen.
Meade to fight a battle in a disadvan-
tageous position, had failed, through the
facility with which the Federals fell back
to a strong position at Centerville. A
bloody check administered by the Federal
rear guard, a part Of the Second Corps,
under Gen. G. K Warren, upon Lees
advance, under Gen. a. P. Hill, on Octo-
Der II at Bristoe Station, four miles from
Manassas, had put an end to the cam
paign-
Failing back behind the Rappahannock,
Lee had placed his army in camp on the
available ground between that river and
Culpeper Courthouse, and seizing some
old Federal works at Rappahannock Sta
ton, on the north bank of the river he
had converted them, with much labor,
into a strong line of defense. about two
miles in length. pontoon bridge
spanned the river in their rear. near the
old railroad BRIDGES ruined abutments
Behind these works his army had felt
secure. as they built their huts for win
ter.
