Described By Vernon Castle.

In presenting the first Of our three
modern dances, l am obliged to re-
vert to the very old and true say
ing that There Is no new thing
under the sun However. In the
present dance you will find a pleas
ing change, and as it Is very like
the one-step, ! think 1t should be-
come popular. On and off for the
the last three months we have been
introducing this dance at various
parties. and 1t has always been re-
ceived with a great deal Of enthu-
siasm. So far as the music for this
dance is concerned. If you will play
an ordinary rag half as fast as
you would play 1t for the one-step
you will have a pretty good idea Of
the music and tempo.
And now for the dance itself. Be-
fore teaching you the steps ] should
like you to listen to the music. You
will find absolutely no difficulty in
dancing to it. but the natural incli-
nation is either to dance very fast
very slow steps with it. The latter
Is what most people do. and what is
more they seem to enjoy 1t. But II
seems to me that, as to keep up the
dance one way Is too fast and the
other to slow. tho only real solu
tiOn Is to combine the two. BY doing
this YOU not only make the dance
comfortable, but you also make It
possible to do a great variety Of
easy and amusing steps.
The position GO" th's dance Is the
ordinary one, and I start on my left
foot going forward. and you on your
right foot going back. Gst photo.)
We take two slow steps with the mu-
sic and then four fasv steps douple
time to the music. This completes
the step and one bar We repeat
the thing--two slow and four fast

that Is to dissolve 1t, then yor destroy 1t

ounces of plain. common liquid arron
from any drug store uhis is all you will

more applications will completely dis

You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred

Comparative Power.

How do these four clubs compare :?
There isn't much to choose among
the catchers. Boston ana Pittsburg
have the better infields. There isn't
ranking outfe1d in the bunch.
In the way Of pitching power
Brooklyn carries a greater aggregate
Of class. with Boston next Pittsburg
snd Philadelphia are forced to bank
in the main upon two star slabmen-
NamaUx and Alexander.
This portion of the dope stands
proven in the. records. While Ma
nauX has won Is games and lost but
i. Adams, Harmon and McQuillen to-
Eether have only won something like
rs out Of Sc gares-maintainin
nothing better than an even break.
Alexander has drawn more help from
Mayer, but this athlete in the last six
weeks has rot been able to win half
his games, While Dcmaree, Rixey and
Chalmers have all fallen below the
500 mark in combined conquests.
On the other hand, with Sherrod
Smith, Dell, Rucker, Coombs and
Pfeffer, Brooklyn hasn't been forced
tc depend upon any one lone star, as
Pittsburg and Philadelphia have.
Brooklyn at bat carries more Of
punch than any Of the other three,
with Pittsburg next, Boston third and
Philadelphia fourth. But none Of the
four clubs is hitting tn bail as a flag
winner should-all four being below
$50.
On the bases Pitt3burg has more
speed but Boston is the best run
maker of the four by tidy margin.
SO in the way of comparative dope
Brooklyn has the edge IN all-around
stuff. Pittsburg has the best of the
schedule. Boston has the lead in
''st-etch experience And the Phil
les have Alexander and Cravath.
