It was Goethe who said that none

and the rest of society had been used
to the square dance such as the Scotch
reel, the minuet, the old-fashioned
cotillon and a host of rather simple
steps known as country dances. What

he seen the dances of nowadays or a
year or so ago? Would he, like the
author of a quaint little book called
Etiquette for Ladies, With Hints on
the Preservation, Improvement and
Display of Female Beauty, published
some so years ago, have said that he
summed up his advice in regard to
the choice of dances, by warning them
against the introduction of the new
tangled fashions of this sort"
In this quaint little book on decorum

Will Build Russian Canal.

The project for the construction and
equipment of a Yolga-Don canal, as
designed by the Russian minister of
ways and communications, has been
approved by the government. The pro
jected canal will play an important
part in the economic development OF
southeastern Russia and of the VOlgia
and Don basins. Grain from Tsarit~
sin and timber and ore from the Urals
will thereby obtain a direct outlet to
the ports of the Sea of Azof and
thence to the Black sea. Moreover,
the canal will make it possible to sup
ply coal to all the chief cities and in
dustrial centers of the Volga and sur
rounding country from the rich coal
district of the Donetz basin.
