Mr.. Brcitung said she could take her
choice-she could let him send Max down

six months to see whether he was any
good. or she could go to Max at once. III
she did that, Mr. Breitung said he would
have Max arrested for nonsupport.
Miss Gaffner admitted that she some

The fourth figure Of the Pavlowana Is
one of the prettiest in the entire dance
1t follows the walS-around, in which
there are two salutations And In its
execution the dancers have need for
nice judgment of distance and Well
controlled poIse of their bodies
on the first count of the music the lady
places her upraised right hand i'm that
of her cavalier who takes 1t as he slight
" stamps the heel of his right foot and
places his left hand upon that OF his
lady, which 1t resting upon her left hip.
The cavalier is somewhat beyond his
partner, the weight OF his body resting
on his right leg, his left being extended
behind him; the balance being thus con-
trolled by the right feet. The evolution
of this figure consumes four counts, with
a supplemental portion of four more in
which the cavalier and his lady progress
into position preparing them for the NTH
figure.
In detail. figure four, which we are
now considering, starts with the lady
moving forward and to her left for the
purpose of describing an under-arm circle
on count one she permits her right hand
TO be taken by her partner and as he
stamps his heel she starts the turn under
her own upraised right arm and that OF
her cavalier.
The lady takes her first step on her
right foot, a short step which, for the
woman of average height should not be
much longer than six inches. The step
with the left foot which comes on count
two is probably not more than two
inches, and consists of shifting of the
foot in an arc to the left to permit the
further turning of the body. AS the lady
more nearly completes the circle In her
movements. she must manipulate her ele-
waited right arm and hand in manner
that will enable her TO progress with
freedom This, she will find. can be ac-
complshed by slightly lowering the arm
and carrying IL trife backward on the
