The Congo Trof' is the latest It's
the king of the Fox Trots and as danced
by its inventor. Miss Joan Sawyer, it Is
q revelation.
This fall Miss Sawyer and Nigel Barrie,
cleverest Of all the partners she has ever
had. are doing this captivating new
dance. a Development Of the Congo
Tango.
Here are Miss sawyer's general direc-
tons on how to dance this latest step.
Have good music and get into tht rythm

Swing into movement from the hips with
the entire body relaxed. Keep the foot
on the floor except when hopping. Point
the toes gracefully.
The dance itself may be divided into
five steps, each Of which is illustrated
here.
The dance begins with the partners
facing, as shown in the first picture.

using the left foot to start and going for
ward or back in direct opposite to the
girls movements.
For figure l-Start on right foot. plac-
ing it back of the left, which holds the
weight. Dip to the right on the first
beat and run forward three steps, one TO
each remaining beat OF music of the first
bar. This swings the girl to the right
Of her partner. Now during the second
bar the directions are reversed. The girl
dips to the left on her right foot on
the first count and runs three steps back
ward. The dips must be in smooth, Gid
ing manner, while the runs are in or
dinary Congo trot manner, with a little
raise and lift to them
This simple first step may be continued
at pleasure and should be carefully stud
led and repeated again and again until
the rhythm Of the dance is mastered.
Between each set of steps a spin is
made. For this the girls left and the
mans right arms drop to their sides, and
with her lifted right hand in his left, she
spins to the left with her weight on her
left foot and that foot in advance to
catch the weight which shifts from the
right as she starts.
Figure II Is preceded by the polka

tiOns as in Figure /. The girl starts back
on her right foot during the first two
counts, going to the right OF her partner
and making half-turn' and starting for
ward TO the left of her partner for the
third and fourth counts Of the bar. Then
the girl goes back four steps Zone to each
two bars), and they pivot two bars with
the old-fashioned waltz step. From this

One afternoon a New York hotel bell
hop yawned and moved up space on the
bellhop's bench. He was restive, dis
couraged, full Of ennui and wanderlust.
Here am, Freddie Thomas, bellhop.
What's that? Nothing 1 guess it's time
for me to find an aim in life. This hop,
skip and jump stuff won't do forever" he
said TO himself
Now. Master Freddie was not a bellhop
Of the ordinary Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Saturday,
Sunday variety. Most Of his ideas were
not about icewater. guests bags and
tips.
And the humdrum of bellhopdom was
wearing his nerves like the wind-happed
edge of sky scraper flag. He wanted
new scenery.
So the first lap of this little journey is
going to be about how Freddie deserted

into London last July. when he became
the big light among light-weight boxers
Freddie liked athletics. gymnastics and,
most Of all. boxing. So one day he saw
Bernarr Macfadden in the hotel lobby and
had a new idea. A short time later he
was a boxing instructor at Macfadden's
Physical Culture School in New York.
There, he met a young woman by the
name Of Fannie Weston. Fannie was
taking a physical culture course. She
was not the fiuffy-rufy. ribbon sort. She
would have impressed you first as tom

The young boxer took a fancy to her

a word in reply-if she desires to hold
her position.
No Chance to De Negligent.
The rigid system Of supervision en-
forced by the telephone company gives
her no chance to be negligent, and in
the second place there are rules in the
company that make II to the girFs ad-
vantage to be most attentive TO her work
There are test operators constantly lis
tening to the various girls. Their boards
are so arranged that they can listen to
the conversation on any particular board
in the office. II an operator should hap
pen to make a one second answer, that is
while her board is on test, she Is al
lowed to so home for the rest Of the day.
Obviously this is an inducements for the
operator 20 be most diligent in the per-
Torrance OF her work And this Is only
one Of the many petty rewards which
come to the faithful. earnest employe of
the telephone company.
II a girl gets sick or nervous they
are allowed to go down to the retiring
room, where they are provided with -medi-
cine, tea, coffee and. other refreshmnts,
until they feel able to resume their place
in the harness
Another feature OF the telephone COM
pany's system, which induces the girls
to take an interest in their work; Is the
bonus sharing plan. by which a girl re-
ceives certain sum OF money each year
for remaining with the company.
It is only these courtesies on the mart
Of the company. however, that enables
the hello girl to stand the lack OF con-
sideration she must take from the pub
lie.
