Events of Interest
by MYRTLE MILES.

An intelligent defense of the modern
dance is presented by G. Hepburn Wilson
this week in Spur. He says the dance
spirit of today is Transforming dress
styles, that it is altering the social rou-
tine and changing the viewpoint of So
ciety
The spirit of the modern dance, he de-
clares Is a revolt against the crushing
bloom and self-denial of the old Puritan
morality. The modern dance emphasizes
estheties as against morals. Not that
the new dances are immoral or reject NOR
alty; they promote health and that which
promotes health develops right living; they
merely repudiate the implied idea of many
"moralists" that joy and esthetic self
expression are immoral per Sc. That
which is immoral is not esthetic and that
which is not esthetic is immoral
The old dances, cold and stereotyped
in their movements, constituted a formal,
mournful kind of enjoyment. Willie they
fit perfectly with the spirit of an official
function, they lack the freedom and grace
which our social life today demands.
The days of struggle and stress are past,
and with them the solemn view of life
dramas, dirges la Ben Bolt and caused
US to consider a gray, boresome existence
as necessarily rich in virtuous qualities.
More leisure has made us more pliable.
Stiffness is giving way to freedom, which
does not mean license; stern Puritanism
is yielding before a more graceful attitude,
which, considering the stuff we are made
of, need not degenerate into weakness.
That the new dances are immoral deny
In toto I admit that some individuals
vulgarize and desecrate these dances, but
this may be done with any dance. Certain
individuals contamnate the purest of
things. And the new is generally con-
demned. Critics of the new dances forget
that the old dances were condemned at
their inception. When first introduced
in England the polka was characterized
by the Sporting Magazine in 1872 as "the
disgrace of sense and taste q. will
corrupting dance, a compound of immodest
gesture and infectious poison"
The esthetic defects in the new dances
are being rapidly destroyed and as this
development proceeds esthetic opposition
is less valid.
The social routine is being altered and
adapted TO the new requirements of the
dance. Bridge has been superseded by
thes dansants and tango teas and accord
ing TO all reports the ladies are not only
enjoying themselves hugely-much more
than formerly at bridge parties-but the
new diversion is proving TO be more whole
some and inspirational.
The modern dance spirit is transforming
women's dress modes. The old style high
heeled shoes are being superseded by low
heeled slippers, for you cannot dance the
new dances in the high-heeled instruments
of torture. The spirit of freedom and in
dividuality is markedly manifest In the
new dress modes.
/ might add detail onto detail, but l
think my case is proven--the modern
dances are as broad and deep as life itself

ROBBED OF PockETBooK
 WHICH CONTAINED sig. Mrs. Emma ;. Browning Was Board- ing a Trolley Car at New London.

Mrs. Emma J. Browning of 134 Prospect street, Norwich, was robbed of her pocketbook containing SIP and cards, while she was attempting to board a Norwich car at 3:45 Satur day afternoon. Mrs. Browning said that when she was stepping up to the car she felt someone touch her on the right shoulder. Her bag hung on her left wrist.
 It was not until Mrs. Browning had seated herself in the car that she mo- ticed that her bag was open and her pocketbook was gone. A young man and a young woman who sat across the aisle, were asked by Mrs. Brown Ing II they had seen a pocketbook as they entered the car. The young man seemed over sensitive for he told Mrs. Browning if he had seen pocketbook he should have certainly asked if it was hers.
 Patrolnan Sullivan heard Mrs. Browning's complaint and went with her to an ice cream parlor, where she had purchased cream and where she knew she had the pocketbook. The waitress remembered Mrs. Browning. She also remembered a young woman, who sat at the table next to Mrs. Browning and who ordered ice cream soda when Mrs. Browning was eating | lie cream she had ordered. The waitress recalled that the woman at the table next to Mrs. Browning did not wait for her soda to be served but walked out soon after Mrs. Browning | left
 The waitress could not tell the po- | liceman what kind of a looking wo- man had ordered soda and had hur- i ried out without waiting to drink The girl did not remember even how the woman was dressed.--New London Day.
