sociETY'S 1915 DANCES
Ore step
. ... ..--' Waltz eanter p"
hesItation :.
Fox Trot. %

Dance programs in Richmond this
winter will contain only four dances,
all the wilder steps and freaks having
been eliminated by tacit agreement
OF the dancing masters and society.
Accompanying the menu de dance is
e recipe for gaining popularity com
pounded by Bert Kolp. well-known
dancing teacher.
Mr.. Kolp says:
II you wish to be popular on the ball
room floor, dance few neat figures
of the one step.
With your hesitation, mix plenty of
canter and Boston
Use the syncopated walk.
Don't run or hop when you Fox
Trot ..
And above all don't neglect your
waltz.
,Tirid May Learn.
The ,timid who refused to venture on
the dance floor last year because their
repertoire. consisting Of the waltz and
two step, was useless, may now learn
the new steps without fear that an
other.~year will again bring radical
changes and ,relegate all their efforts
to the scrap heap of former accom-
plishments. 1885,. -....... .......- ..
The one step, hesitation, waltz can
ter and fox trot have come to stay.
simultaneously with the entrance Of
these dances into society's favor came
the exit of the two-step, which is
dead never to be revived again. The
waltz will always be good but has lost
much Of it's identity by being COM
pounded with variations from other
steps. =. . '.- -
The reason for the survival Of the
later dances and the death of the two
step is simple. They are restful, beau
tiful, void of vulgarity which arises
from excessive body motion and are
not freaks, created in some public
dance hall.
Steps Are Not New.
While the steps which will be used
this season are not new, they are sub
ject to variations in different locali-
ties. They have their different forms
just as language has its dialects and
colloqualisms. Each variation is a
subtle expression Of the life Of the
community which gives birth to it and
of the Individual dancers characteris-
tics.
So dancers in each community will
concentrate their efforts this year to-
ward more standard form in each OF
the four dances.
There were no mourners when the
freak dances writhed in, their death
anguish. Names that will soon be for
gottn are the ephemeral tombstones
which mark graves of the dead dances:
Grizzly Bear. Luncheon Lurch, Futur-
list Twirl, Turtle Dove. Seasick, Dou-
bic Boston, Kitchen Sink, Debutante
Dip, Bunny Hug. Frisco Rag, Grape
Vine. Texas Tommy, Horse Trot, Fish
Walk, Maxixe, Hitchy-Koo. Diapha-
nous Dip.
All Of these dances, so Objectionable

The grave OF man who gave his
entire fortune to be used for the edu-
cation Of the future generations is
marked perhaps by the most interest
ing monument in this part Of the coun-
ty.
DR.. Ithamer Warner, the first prac-
ticing physician in Richmond, is the
man whom residents Of the city, over
eighty years ago, honored with a mon
ument which has withstood the decay
Of time. 1t is located on the crest Of
the hill to the right Of the front en-
trance to Earlham cemetery. It is not
only one of the most interesting mon
uments in the cemetery. but it is also
one of the oldest.
In the modern conception Of monu-
ments, one would not believe that it
was q monument at all. 1t looks more
like q table. The inscription Is written
across the top and in many places. the
weathering has made 1t impossible to
distinguish clearly the characters. 1t
is made of sandstone and stands about
three feet high. The tablet is placed on
six sandstone columns. which have al

ert Morrison. He was the princfnal
physician in this city until his death
and as far as can be learned he was
the first physician.
One DR.. Cushman is said to have
come to Richmond about 1915, but his
practice was not extensive.
Not much can be learned Of the
character Of old DR.. Warner except
that In many ways he was considered
eccentric by his townspeople He was q
hard working man. and by industry
and economy. acquired large fortune.
Since he had no heirs. he beQueathed
all OF his property to educational and
charitable agencies.
One OF his adventures In this city
proved a failure. says an early report
He bought q distillery In tho south
part OF the city on the side Of the hill
on the street then called Front street.
The early account reads:
"A large portion of the Inhabitants.
at that time being Friends Common
" called Quakers) this enterprise did
not succeed
The establishment formerly was
owned by DR.. Cushman, who later re-
turned to Fl. Wayne.

At the death OF DR.. Warner. when
all his property was turned over to
the school commissioners. ii was not
thought advisable at that time to build
a school building on the site Of the
present city building. The bequest.
however. prevented the school COM
missioners from disposing OF the prop
erty entirely SO they decided TO lease
the property. The annual revenue of
$3.50 Is turned over to the school
board for educational purposes and 10

The body of DR.. Warner was origi-
nally buried in the cemetery on South
Seventh street. When this cemetery
was taken owe. by the city In 1890. his
body was removed to Earlham Gene
terry and the same monument placed
over his grave.

to dancing teachers, because of their
suggestive body motion, we're created
by some eccentric dancer, whose vagu-
cry became a fad and then craze So
ciety took up the mania started in
vulgarity among obscene surroundings
and dragged it into fashionable ball
rooms where it was tolerated for a
time until its true character was learn
ed. Immediately after the revelation
the dance ceased to be welcome
guest.
Many of the good dances, such as
those which have survived, have been
injured. Bert Kolp said, by publicity
which attributed to them the same
vulgarity that went with the freak
dances. He deplored this lack Of dis
elimination and declared that above
everything else the self-respecting

THE line was hollow mockery az

teachers and their patrons, as safety

vailed along with the Innovations and

set toward the artistic and graceful as
against the frealSish and the bizarre.
Attacks by, Ignorant. ;.
THE attacks on the new dances, by
those who never took the time to learn
or the trouble to investigate. is not
unlike the turmoil caused century
ago when the public was engaged in a
debate upon the waltz as successor
to the minuet. The introduction Of the
waltz brought forth general criticism
and a storm Of protest. In the minuet
the dancers are at arms length; In the
waltz in closer proximity. That was
the chief objection.
Then as today, It became evident
that the foundation for objection was
not with th dance as properly per
formed but with those dancers who
made it a basis for vulgarity. Gradual.
ly the frowning upon the waltz grew
less until its opponents were only
those who protested against any kind
Of dancing. -...-
To-day the new form Of dancing Is
combatted, not alone by narrow view
but by those who have not discovered
what enjoyment the new method OF
dancing gives. You hear the cry. The
waltz and the two step are coming
the few who have not kept abreast OF
the times.
Waltz Always Good.
"The waltz will always be danced,
never has been or never will be out OF
date, and every legitimate dancing
teacher would fail to do his duty II
he neglected to give the waltz proper
recognition.

Talks With
Lovers

Some girls are in love with love.
They long to be engaged. to wear the
coveted diamond to be admired by
friends, and to become Mrs. So and So.
These young women who thus enter
matrimony without serious considera-
ton are storing up trouble for them
selves. They do not know whether the
young man Is suited to them or not.
In fact this makes little difference SO
long as they are merely sweethearts.
Some persons make excellent lovers
but poor husbands and wives.
Keep Z firm grip on your affection
and do not allow yourself to be carried
away : by dreams until you are con-
WINGED thet the young man is compat-
ible In every way and cares for you.
Love That's One-Sided.
Dear Miss Carothers-I come to you
with broken heart, wishing your ad
vice. Last juno l met a man l grew
to love. He said he loved me; he
could never love another. l think he
did until lately when some one has
written to him Of me who did not sign
any name to the letters. We were en-.
gagged. He wrote me a letter stating
he did not want the ring; wished me to
remove 1t to my other finger. He
lives In a distant town. Called on me
every two weeks. Do you think he
really loved me? wrote him / loved
him. He replied l never cared for
him. asked to see the letters about
me-: Please advise me If did right.
B. L.
II one or more letters from persons
unkindly disposed. and who are too
afraid to sign their names, influence
your lover. better find it out before
1t Is too late.
An honorable man, knowing you
have heard Of this. would show you
the letters, or assure you of his not
believing such underhand trouble
brewing. The ring will not be of less
importance on another finger. II he
does not ask It back. he may renew
an engagement. Happy marriage bells
may chime for you this year.
