ROGRESSOFTHEWAR

Renewed aerial activity by both
the Germans and the allies has pro-
vided a spectacular feature of the OPP
erations in the west.
Chief interest in the war, so far as
this country is concerned, centers at
present in what action Great Britain
may take in reference to the cotton
ship Dacia, sailing for Germany from
Galveston, and the food.laden Will
nelmina, now on her way to that coun-
try.
The most important of the martial
developments in Europe, if the report
is based on facts, is the announcement
from Petrograd printed in Paris that
Germany has informed Rumania that
the latter country's military measures
and its encouragement of a ~revolutary
movement in Pennsylvania constitutes
hostile acts.

Baker and Miss Elvira Rhind-both

among the society amateurs.
Perhaps these illustrations will help
the reader to make up his or her
mind about when barefoot dancing is
all right and proper, and when It
isn't. In all these Illustrations it
will be noticed that the dancing IS
in character" Il As not a case Of

Is an Illusion about It. A story is

trail character in the story that is
doing the barefoot dancing-Bac-
chus, Bacehante, a Faun, a Water
Nymph. and so on
Would you expect Bacchus. BAG
chante, a Faun or a Water Nymph
to dance in shoes and stockings?
That is the theory which is held
to justify public dancing in bare feet
and flowing draperies. The women
and girls who do it-even as society
amateurs-have attempted TO Oblit-
crate themselves as real women and
girls of these times, and TO re-
suscitate women and girls Of ancient
Greece, or certain minor deities in
Greek mythology.
Do persons holding the convictions
OF the Mayor Of Boston consider that
It Is impossible for a barefOoted
dancing woman to 'obliterate her own
personality and become a myth

Bacchante or Water Nymph should
apply to Mayor Curley for permits
sion to dance before the BOstOnians
would she get it? o. would she
have to put OF shoes and stockings
and become a Mrs. Jones or a Mrs.
Robinson?
Probably Mayor Curley would rule
cut these considerations as subtleties
beyond comprehension Of the general
Boston public. and not comprehended
IN the law enacted for the prOtec-
dCn OF Boston morals. He is en-
forcing the law as It stands.
Irrespective OF the law, are bare

VERY worldly-minded person
will agree that those Boston
IL suffragettes would have made
more money out Of their Suffrage
Carnival If they had danced in their
bare feet, according to their inten-
ton as originally announced. How.
ever Puritan Boston remains in its
official capacity, the multitude Of It's
private citizens are as eager for
stage sensations as those Of any
other city.
Boston's private citizens didn't put
tin corsets on Boston's publicly ex-
hibited Venuses, nor do they bury
nude marble neurological ladies in
the cellar Of their Public Library.
Undoubtedly they would have spent
their dollars joyfully to see those
pretty "Suffs" dance at the COrt
Theatre in their bare feet.

pretty suffragettes we're quite willing

the passenger will imagine that a

and then on the other. then it will

OF the Russian dancers.
The Mayor forbade both OF these
famous dancers appearing in Boston
publicly in their bare feet.
Elsewhere, as the BostOnians well
know. the art OF barefoot dancing in
flowing classical draperies is cul-
tivated publicly in the most fash
ionable circles. There are fashion
able schools where such dancing Is
taught to girls belonging to the best
families in the land.
Mrs. Florence Fleming Noyes
maintains such a school. and is her
self a Society favorite with her
graceful dances in bare feet. At
Newport Mrs. Moves was enthu-
siastically received in her Water
Nymph Dance" in bare feet and
otherwise costumed as in the illus

danced in water. emerging from a
