The rapid advancement OF the modern
waltz, which have already mentioned
as having been generally classified as
the hesitation waltz, is due to the in
PRODUCTION OF many figures and steps
Developing in the past season, one might
say. there is enough evidence to indi-
cate that before the year is out the
waltz will be almost. il not quite, as
popular as the one-step.
That II will have a greater number OF
dancing adherents than the tango Is
plain because as a dance it is easier to
perform. Like the tango. however. the
waltz has numerous figures, though not
at present as many. There arc twelve
waltz figures, though, which can be
mastered by the average dancer, and
shall now present the second six Of
these. the first half dozen having al
ready been explained and illustrated with
photographs
I wish again to call attention to the
important element in the use OF various
figures, steps or positions-which is the
skill or discretion shown by the man in
introducing any one of them at the mo-
ment when that particular one he has

COLORED SPATS ARE
MUCH IN. FAVOR

The most novel vogue of the year is the
colored spat style. Tan and fawn coIored
spats have been worn the entire season
and have been SO well thought Of that
boot tops of the same colors have sprung
into fashion in consequence
Ecru and white lace spats are among
the extreme styles noted. but the newest
thing is a brocaded spat made to match
the gown.
A pair noted recently were made OF
pale blue brocade worn with a blue tat
feta tango frock.
Care must be observed. however. when
ordering spats of delicate color to wear
hosiery to match.
In these days of slitted skirts and dra-
peries. one must be very careful in the
dressing of the feet-to see that no in
congruities are INDUCED in.
No other one thing Is more distressing
to observe than hosiery OF one color. slip

and spats OF an inconsidered shade to-
tally at variance with every other shade

The Waltz: Lesson S
Slow Steps in Open Position
To the Man Falls the Re-
sponsibility of Deciding
Upon the Change Of Steps.

So long as care is taken to attempt no
changes until the position OF, the feet
and bodies are such as to permit such
change to be accomplished with rhythmic
ease and comfort there need be no
trouble. And when this rule il observed
changes may be made as frequently as
is desired.
] emphasize these points because they
are essential and in the continuing OF
further waltz positions every dancer will
progress faster by bearing them con-
tinuaIly in mind.
Figure No. in the hesitation waltz
really has no name, but Is . continual
ton of slow steps forward. taking one
step for each three beats Of the music
and Leading into a quick waltz move
ment in closed position. As is apparent,
this figure Is one affording variety to
the eyes of spectators and may be &C.
companied by a flourish of the lady's
right arm, as shown in the accompany

MODISH SCARFS
FOR THE WIDOW
Made Of Mousseline or Maine and
Bordered with Two-ineh
Band in Crepe.

! Evening scarfs worn by the widow
of six or eight months standing a
period when she may quite properly ap-
pear at minor social affairs-cieariy in
dicate that she is in mourning. With her
deeollete gown of lusteriess silk, dull
messaline, marauisette or chiffon, she
wears a full width three to five yards
long scarf in mousseline or malines
bordered with a two-inch band in crepe.
After a years time has elapsed since
her bereavement, the crepe band is dis
carded and an a-jour hemmed iimy scarf
accompanies the all-blsck costume Dur
ing the last six months Of the first year
OF mourning, some widows elect to wear
all white OF evenings-since black is
depressing to the spirits and often to
the health-and with their dull corded
silk. messaline, msrquisette, wolfe or
yelling gowns. wear malines or chiffon
scarfs bordered with white crepe.
Not until after the twelfth month does
the widow who knows what is correct
in dress put on a maybe combination III
sCarfs. and then she uses only a piping
or very narrow edging Of black or
white crepe on a strip of contrasting
gauze.
Valuable Adjunct.
A scarf entirely of black or white
crepe is a very valuable adjunct to a
widows wardrobe during the first few
months after her bereavement. for il
she is wearing an untrimmed costume.
OIL the street or in the house, 1t clearly
declares her mourning and mere ac-
Guaintances are not likely to refer to
her husband as though he were living.
Moreover, the long strip of crepe may
later be cut up into small trimmings or
be worked into the entire hat that i'm
mediately succeeds the long veil-draped
chapeau which is practically q bonnet
The widow who prefers gradually to
take of mourning instead of going from
the maybe combinations directly into
colors, may have her evening scarfs OF
black or white chiffon, a-jour-hemmed.
and hand-embroidered or painted with
flowers in mauve or Lavender tones.
These scarfs are one-half yard wide by
two yards long and are so drsped across
the right shoulder that one end stops
Just above the waist line in front while
the end crossing the right shoulder falls
to or below the knees.

food. was followed by death. Ordinarily
We received just enough fod to keep US
! hungry, which may seem a doubtful ex-
preston to the general reader
This prisoner describes the death OF
a German soldier which was watched
by a number of his fellow prisoners. one
of whom suggesting that the man would
feel better with his boots OF, pulled
off, coolly walked away with them, and
sold them. He confessed that this was
rather rough" but excused himself by
saying that he was hungry, and thought
it not so bad to steal from dying man
as from one likely to live.
II a prisoner had aught to sell, he
could find a purchaser among the guards
or he could barter his property for food
at the prison commissary.
Sell shirts for Food.
The commissary sold things the pris-
oners craved-moIasses, pies and sugar;
molasses at 81 a pint, sugar at $l-5o. a
pound and everything else proportion
ately high. Onions sold at 3 cents apiece.
The common rations of the prisoners
consisted of a half loaf of bread or a
piece of corn bread a day and thin,
dirty saline broth called by courtesy bean
soup. Sometimes there were bacon bones
in the soup, though more often maggots
fioated on its surface.
The bread was brought into the camp
in blankets and distributed in the camp
streets. The soup was in great kettles,
and each man had his tinful.
One of the evils of the place was the
their
shoes, and even their shirts, for food,
leaving themselves almost naked. On
such the cold of winter fell heavily. Over
coats were unknown and blankets few.
To keep out the piercing cold of winter
nights the inmates Of the tents lowered
the canvas from the poles until il formed
a covering near their hunks. Thus the
prisoners slept through the frosty nights;
or, when the cold cut too sharply, they
went out into the open and ran back
and forth to keep warm.
Such were conditions on Belle Isle in
the winter of 1891 The prisoners were
hungry, while tons of corn and meat were
stored within a few miles of them. The
blame for their hunger lay not SO much
with the men who had charge of them
as with the Confederate commissary gen.
eral. When the keeper at Belle Isle asked
permission to buy meat for the prisoners
it was denied him. Red tape and official
inefficiency did not permit such purchases.
The same state of affairs was true in the
case of Lees army.
Thus the Federal prisoner in Belle Isle
by the James, and the Confederate soldier
pacing his sentry's beat beside the
Rapidan, had a bond in common-both
were hungry, and incompetent officials at
Richmond were responsible for it.
