Dancing. ssHnVing Fits to Music"
she Says. and Comments
Thereon.
ny DOROTHY DIX


n ANCING is the funny way people
act when they have fits to music.
- If you would go out on the
street where there wasn't any music
and jump up and down, and kick out
sideways, and move round and round
in circles. every one would say, Poor
creaturei Bughouse for sure! And
the police would come and call an am
bulance and take you off to hos
pitaL
But when you dip and duck, and
kick. and go round and round where
there is music every one says, How
graceful and what beautiful dancer"

Ny teacher says that in the Orient
rich people do not dance, and that they
hire poor girls to do their dancing
for them Just as we hire q scrub wom-
an to come in and mop our floors. But
Americans are very Industrious. and
they do their own dancing without ever
whining or complaining about the Sc
we're labor it entails upon them.
There are a great many curious
things about dancing. One of them
is that a frail. delicate little woman
who cannot walk the baby when il has
the collie for five minutes without hav-
ing nervous pTOStrauOn. and who
would scream if anyone should be cruel
enough to her to ask her to wash the
dishes, can dance 80 miles Of an even
ing without feeling the slightest
fatigue.
Another curious thing about dancing
is that when a man is dancing with a
woman it is perfectly proper for him
to put his arms around her and hold
her hand, although she would be
shocked to death if he were to do so
when they were not dancing
I do not know why this is so, but
it is so.

People used to like to go to the circus

WHAT TO DO IF
YOUR CAPITAL HRINKS

A new department in the American
Magazine called "The Family's Mon
ey" begins in its August issue. This
department deals with the saving,
spending and investing propositions
which confront every family. Fol-
lowing is an account of what one MAJ
did when he discovered his capital was
shrinking:
"a friend of mine let me into a Sc
cret of his financial economy which
strikes me as valuable. He is of mid
die age, with a small family, and has
ar income of thirty-five hundred dol
lars a year. He has put by a few
thousand dollars. His investments
are are in gilt-edged securities.
Eat the end of every six months he
figures out exactly the value of his
property. Each share of stock, each
bond il reconed at its present market
price, and the sale value of his house
is placed at the lowest figure. To the
current value of his estate he adds
his life insurance. The result is the
capital which would be available for
the support of his wife and children
should he suddenly die.
"At the last three reckonings my
friend found that his capital was
shrinking. There had been declines in
certain stocks and bonds and a falling
off in the value of his real estate.
What did he do? Commiserate him

self? Not at all. He went to a life
insurance company and took out a poll
icy large enough to more than cover
the shrinkage in his capital. Compar-
atively speaking, it cost him very lit
tie; but it added a neat sum to the
value, and guaranteed an nuimpaired
income to his wife"
