During my forthcoming tour of the
United States and Canada, in the
1914-1915 season, 1 shall endeavor to
the best of my ability to show some of
the proper ways of doing things in so
cia1 dancing. But for the moment 1t
were we'll to consider what not to do,
for very often that is quite as impor-
tant as considering what one should
do.
1 well remember, last year, visiting
many dancing affairs where repre-
sentative men and women of affairs
appeared. They danced the popular
dances, sometimes with grace and dis
erection, but for the most part must
confess with altogether too much Wig
or and boisterousness.
Now there should be no confounding
of enthusiasm and: excess vigor. The
first is controlled buoyancy, the other
uncontrolled excitableness. The light,
spright1iness which is shown in the

any harm to good dancing. In fact.

thing of this sort. What people must

Many persons have asked me why
this is SO. and with such frequency
that 1t seems pertinent to explain
some OF the causes, and to illustrate
a few of them will specially posed

Perhaps the most glazing faults
seen in the average dancer of either

altogether because the one who vio-

Perhaps no other profession is as
old as that of the undertaken. In
prehistoric times, he probably flour
ished, although the method of en-
halming in those days was far differ

of history, in the days of Egypt, AS
syria and China, he was plying his
trade.

The undertaken reigned supreme in
Egypt. The Egyptian embalmer was
genius at his work. He planted"
the famous kings of the African coun-
try and their bodies, now termed
mummies, are still in existence in the
tombs, by pyramids and the mu-
SeumS.
We're said to be among the happiest
mortalS of the earth. The best his
torians agree on that. Then later,
from generation to generation, they
began to instinctively dislike their
work and their .cheerfulness wore
gradually off : AT the beginning of
the last century, they were indeed a
sombre outlay of men.
Then there was a great awakening
among the undertakers- They began
to see that the one or two happy
looking embalmers in each city were
doing the bulk of the business. Then
they began to adopt a constrained,
yet contented, look 1t helped bust
ness.
Then quite naturally. as it is much
easier to look happy than it is to look
sad, the next generation or SO of I'M
dertakers lost all the old disconnected
appearance. And today the embalmer
