TITS rather startling to be told that
modern dancing, which has drawn
most of the civilized world in its
gay whirl, has invaded the realm Of
art. That dancing has been liberated
from its conventionality by the Rus
sian we know. One result on sister
art has been a deluge of pictures and
statues flooding the Salon this year, all
having to do with terpsichorean sub
iects. Such has been the discovery OF
Mrs. Helen S. Noble, dancing teacher,
who has Just returned from Europe,
where she studied the comparative
characteristics of the dance.
"The end of the dancing craze has
been predicted of various nations and
also its influence on art" said Mrs.
Noble, yet never have there been so
many works of art submitted with
dancing as their subject. And those
that we had in former years lacked

How to dispose of their products
is one OF the problems which these
young horticulturists will have to
face when they finish their two
years course and start out for them
selves. That they may be able to
cope with this problem also, Miss
Jessie T. Morgan, principal OF the
school, insists that the girls take
turns in going to market, so that
they may become thoroughly &C
quainted with the business end OF
their profession.
Learn How TO Market Products.
Commercial law is another sub
ject with which the girls must be-
come familiar, though this is drop
ped during the summer months in
favor of more seasonable branches.
Miss Morgan happens to be law
yer as we'll as a horticulturist and
she declares that a knowledge of
commercial law is essential to sue
cess in this new-old occupation for
women.
Girls Build Greenhouse.
A small, crudely fitted carpenter
shop is the delight of the students,
especially in rainy weather. Sew
eral hours a week are devoted to
mastering the rudiments of carpen-
try, and though it must be confessed
that thumbs have been pounded or
bruised sometimes the girls soon
demonstrate that they can do more
than drive a rail straight" One Of
the greenhouses was built by the
girls themselves last fall, and this
winter they are planning other feats

Spanish Are Truest Natural Dancers.
at is rather interesting to note the
national difference in the execution and
selection of the various forms. The
truest natural dancers are the Spanish.
They enter into the spirit of il; they
Undue it with a fire and untutoTed
abandon that are found in no other
race. The Russian has fire, il is true,
but there are restraint and conscious
art which are not found in the impa-
tient Spanish dances.
another dance which has recently
been brought over to this country and
of whose popularity l am not alto
gether assured is the Lula Fado. II Is
Portuguese dance, brought here by
way of Paris, and is of the two-step
order.
1t is a beautiful and graceful dance,
but there are one or two reasons for
my belief that our men here will not
take overkindly to it. In the first place,
there is a good deal Of the swapping Of
fingers that marks all Spanish dances,
and of the passionate and playful
stamping of feet, to which the self
conscious and rather self-contained
American man will not unbend. He
does not like to strike attitudes, and
the raising aloft Of the arm, with it's
semblance of theatricality, will seem
unnatural and be very difficult for him.
"The one-step, which is so prevalent
here, is not at all liked in Paris. To
them it typfes the caricature-like mo-
tions which we infuse into all our
dances. They do not know how 20
dance it properly. In an evenings
dancing there will be perhaps one hest
tation, and one one-step, with the re-
mainder of the program consisting OF
the tango, the s>2ular Make and the
Lula Fado.
Germans Dance Beautifully on Skates.
"The Germans do not favor the tango
particularly, but are fond Of the one
step, which they dance in heavy
fashion. What interested me most in
Germany's offerings of amusements was
the unique Ice Palace. There one saw
the most graceful dancing on skates
of the tango, the maxixe, the one-step
and hesitation that one could imagine.
The manipulation Of the skates on ice
seemed to be a matter OF no impor-
lance to the dancers, and large bal
lets were as easily managed as solo
parts.

present upheaval will have much e.
feet on dancing, whether it will mem

strong disposition to come to the fore,

two thousand years.
