a Practical Book on Modern Dancing

Practical Book on Modern Dancing
In preparing the section on modern
ballroom dancing in 1.-THE Dance, Its
Place in Art and Life" which has
just been issued by Stokes. the Kin
neys had the assistance of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Murray Anderson, who
have gained their reputation as
dancers through teaching members
of the -Four Hundred" rather than
by cabaret and theatrical exhibitions.
So many photographs and such full
instructions were necessary to make
this section clear and practical that
it has also been issued as separate
book under the title Society Dane
ing of Today" The fundamental
steps underlying all the varieties of
the new dances" are now standard
lied. The dances in this book COM
prise a complete list of the steps that
have established themselves In the
bathrooms of conservatively smart So
ciety, together with a few figures of
fancy dancing. such as the graceful
Waltz Minuet," TO tempt the more
ambitious. Mr.. Kinney has been con-
graduated on his floor plan diagram
scheme for explaining ballroom steps
as by far the most lucid and graphic
method for administration.

George E. Holt in Morocco the
Bizarre " recently published by Nc
Bride, Mast & Co, tells of an enter
tanning adventure which befeIl a
young Turkish prince who had been
sent TO Morocco for his health and
mad not learned the devious ways of
the bland hotel runners. He found
no one to meet him at the landing
stage at Tangier and so employed a
sagacious guide by the name of Ell
Larabi, TO take him to the Hotel Sc
villa. The way from the landing
stage to the hotel requires perhaps
ten minutes Of ordinary walking, but
this the prince knew not.
Therefore, FL Larabi, beloved of
Allah, induced him to engage two
mules, upon which they rode of.
Three hours later they reached the
hotel and the shafeel. probably more
weary than ever before in his indolent
and pampered life was glad to seek

"Under Handicap"

Among stories of a healthily popu-

more knowledge and gift of story

Emerson in France.

Regis Michaud says the Nation, is
bringing out in French two volumes
(Paris: Armand Colin of an Auto
Geographic dEmerson," boiled down
from the ten volumes of the Journal,
with notes to aid the French under
standing. An effort is made to fol-
low out the spiritual evolution of the
american philosopher" Emerson is
bound to be known in France, as

many ways, is known everywhere as

sixties, Victor Cousin, who thought
himself as onniscient as his reading
was omnivorous, said of Emerson

thanks largely to initiating theses of
a doctoressc. Marie Dugard. Transla-
tons have followed and commenta-

true that Young France, now crowd
ing forward. appears little likely to
pursue the acquaintance. STILL En-
erson mas at least dawned on French
literary consciousness more than
Walt Whitman, whom he appreci-
ated and who has been similarly
studied. but infinitely less, and sixty
years later than Poe. whom he de-
spised. He may catch up ultimately
with Carlyle, who has been pushed
of late years for his French Revolu-
ton. Emerson had a strong opinion
about France, where poet never
grew" but a judicious choice of his
own poetry, esoteric and pragmatic,
might yet win him a place among
foreign classics acknowledged by
the French. Poe's Tales, thanks to
Baudelaire, long since became Il
French classic. Fenimore Cooper has
been taken even more closely to the
heart of the nation as a universal
schoolhoys' writer-another reversal
of criticism by humanity.

The schools of the city Of Virginia are not to
be opened to discussion of the proposed charter
amendments. There is some reasonable grounds
for the attitude of those members of the board
of education who opposed resolution providing
that they be used for that purpose. Nevertheless,
provisions should be made in the near future for
the opening of the public schools for public dis
cussions of an educational nature. Wherever that
privilege has been extended, and it is today COM

Biwabik Times: Senator Clapp has
written a letter to one Of the down
state newspapers in which he takes
the position that wages generally
are too low, leaving too great profit
for the employers. He particularly
refers to the industrial centers, where
women are required to work long
hours for pitifully small pay. His
argument naturally leads to the pre-
sumption that in the end the govern
ment must enact minimum wage
scale. Minnesota would benefit little
at this time, but in the future would
reap it's reward. The sooner such a
law comes the sooner business can
