Let There Be Liqht.

In our columns last week we men.
toned the necessity of good roads
and deplored their scarcity in Casco
Bay. This week We should like to
take up a very essential requisite of
good roads and one that is even
scarcer in this vicinity. That is
good street lights. At only very
few of the islands in the bay are
there street lights of any description
at all. At important islands like Che
beague and Bailey's it is almost like
taking ones life in ones hands to
venture on a walk, as the only source
of illumination comes from the moon
Unquestionably there is nothing
more beautiful than the moonlight
and we are very fond of little strolls
In its S1lvery radiance ourselves But
when Mr.. Moon goes on his vacation
1t is decidedly uncomfortable stumb-
ling along the country roads such as
are only too prevalent in our bay.
Full of unexpected ruts and stones,
with roots growing across and the
uneven places springing up at all
sorts of times when least expected. a
walk on an ordinary night is far from
our idea Of what a walk should be.
Two things should be done viz:
hrst, to get better roads; second. to
put up street lights such as are in
use at Long Island, Bustins and a
few others which will light the road
we'll enough. to see ones way. Both
OF these N our opinion are tasks that
should be done Immediately and
which would not be particularly diff
cult to bring to something like COM
pletion. If the residents of the is
lands would only organize and act
with some sort of teamwork we are
fully persuaded that not only these
but many other reforms could he ac-

Steps Are Childishly Simple, but Require
a Considerable Amount of Grace to
Be Executed Effectively, Say
Famous Dancers

We will suppose. now. that you are
doing a two step, which must be done
quietly, and turning as much as pos
sible.
The next thing to do is a single step,
which is a kind OF slide sideways done
on the heel OF one foot and the fiat
Of the other. The man goes sideways,
or nearly sideways. advancing his left
heel and bringing his right foot up TO
the heel of the left. In this way the
left foot is always ahead of the right,
and the weight of the body is on the
right foot, and the step is single step.
The lady is facing the gentleman, and
does the same step but with the oppo-
site foot.
During this step you must change the
position of the hands. which Is done
IN this way: The gentleman let's go of
the lady's right hand. which has been
held out, and she slowly puts 1t be-
hind her back. Just above the waist
line. When 1t has arrived there the
gentleman takes it in his right, which
IS already at the lady's waist: and with
his left takes her left and holds II above
her head.
The single may be done In either d.
rection, This effect is shown in the
photographs which illustrate this dance
When the hands are changed. before
going into the third figure, the partners
go back first TO the two step. which is
the basis of the whole dance
This step is called skating. 1t seems
70 he very good name for 1t, as the
position you take is exactly the same
as that taken by skaters when they are
skating side by side You get into the
step in this way
When We left off We were doing the
TWO step. Now. if the gentleman will
do single step and still keep his part
ner doing a two step he will find that
she turns around so that she is side
by side with him, As soon as she is in
this position, and he finds that he is
on the same foot as she is-that is. IN
step with her--he Resumes the two stem
down the room (but he is naturally at
the side of her instead of in 'front.'
He must always remember = mass
his right leg in front OF the lady when
going forward just as her left passes in
front OF him. The correct position for
the feet and body can be seen BY the
photographs
There is Clip to this step which YOU
can put in or not as you please. II is
a slow dip made after YOU have taken
the step with the right foot and is
finished as YOU are taking the step with
the left foot,
The back two step Is the same as IN
ordinary two step except the position
Of the lady is reversed and she has her
back To the gentleman instead Of facing
him, You go right into It from the
skating this way
The man, instead Of p.clng his right
foot IN front OF the lady, keeps IL be-
hind and AT the same time folds his
hands over hers ana leads her into a
two step. Care must be taken to hold

Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier, under

Der to talk on the Dunning system of

numbering twenty, which is making
rapid progress under this method of

Miss Hasemeier, who studied under
Miss Armstrong, the latter giving the
normal courses under the Dunning
system east of Chicago, states that
the system has met with the most en-
couraging results in this city.
Basis Of System.
This method is founded on some
of the principles of the famous Monte

the history and basic principles of the
musical art to children to meet their
immature comprehension and to lay
the foundation of thorough under
standing of music whether, later, the
students become expert performers or
not.
