T ? Mess I am mistaken, the Polka
MazoUrka win shortly divide the
honors with the Tango as a pop
ular semi fancy dance in which skill
of a pronounced order may be dis
played. The contrast between the
dances-the former being executed
very rapidly, while the latter belongs
to the more deliberate types sure
TO make each fill a distinct place in
the affections of those who actually
dance the Tango and Polka azourka
and the people who look on.
The first four poses and steps, al
ready described and illustrated in two
previous articles on the POlka-MazOur-
Aa, show it to be a vigorous dance, in
which the spirit of iOyOusneSs of air
mess, should prevail Unless one has
agility and a deETee of animation sat
isfaCtOry results are not likely to be
secured in this most popular society
dance In Russia But with lightness
of foot and alert mind the POlka-AIa-
zOurka can be made indesCribably
beautiful to behold.
We finished in the preceding article,
with the two steps placing the dancers
through the outer swing and in the
back O-back pose. Now we approach
another figure. which is a salute in
half open position. 1t is reached from
the back-tO-ba pose. the lady turn
ing to her right, her partner turning
to his left The former straightens
up from the slightly bent attitude
half pivOts on her left foot and com
pleting her turn, stands firmly on
both feet with both arms Outstretched,
as shown in the figure A The man
moves to his left using the left foot
as a pivot and extending his left leg,
as illustrated. While he extends both
arms. the right alone is free, for the
left should steady his partner through
the assistance of the left hand, which
is placed at her waist line.
From this step the dancers may
then progress to an effective pose, as
disclosed by the photograph in figure
B. The lady moves back from the sa-
lutte in a simple manner by swinging
partly to her left and carrying her
left foot behind her the toe of her
slipper pointed, the right foot kept
flat on the floor. She completes the
pose by folding her arms. Her com
paniOn merely moves forward on his
left foot turns completely about and
with his weight supported by the right
leg fulfils his part of the salute by
folding his arms. The next article,
also covering the conclusion of the
Polka azourka, will bring this en-
tire series on the modern society
dances to a close.-COpyright 1913, by

First. Such Movement OF Cotton From
United States Since War Began.

New York Oct. For the first time
since war started in Europe a direct
shipment of cotton from this country

The total exports Of cotton yesterday
were 2S.S12 bales. This included 3,405
bales to France, 5,478 bales to Great
Britain and 7,456 bales to other points
on the continent. More than 1900
bales went to Japan and approximately
1.250 bales to Mexico. This represents
gain compared with recent weeks.
Exports for the season to date have to-
tailed 161.7z1 bales.
