Dancing can be saved by recogni- ton of it's aesthetic possibilities. Everywhere one finds a callous pub lie, unmindful of the racket which has supplanted music, and dull to the vision of unlovely pastures which it pr0vokes. The public dance hall knows the intimate relation of music and action and is on it's guard. The private and semi-private dance should know this. too. Until com munities become alive to the situa- tion we shall have increasingly bad social conditions arising from our dancing. People will dance - what opportunities are being offered?
 In our present social upheaval with large numbers of men herded together, cut off from normal social intercourse with women, and with a feeling of an uncertain future hang ing over them, we cannot look too quickly to our dancing, that it may be for them what we so earnestly de- sire, a direct and beautiful self-ex- orsssion of the spirit of youth and joy.

FEW SHOES IN MUNICH.

Munich, Feb. 10-Munich's scarcity of shoes, which was getting serious when the war stopped, has improved sufficiently so that during the next, six months there will be available a supply large enough to fit out 75 per cent. of the population with one pair for each person. Shoe dealers have demanded the suspension of the card system for shoes, whereby a person was entitled to one pair a year. The dealers find themselves well loaded up with military shoes, for which there is little demand now, and will attempt to unload them at the gov- ernment fixed price of sS pair.

lECCH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Those Familiar With Small Creatures
Habits Can ForeteI Changes
That Are at Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can be
made by placing a leech in glass jar
of water.
If the weather Is to continue fine
the leech lies motionless at the bot
tom of the Jar, and rolled together in
q spiral form. If 1t Is TO rain, either
before or after noon, 1t will be found
to have crept up to the top Of Its lodg-
ing. where it will remain till the
weather is settled.
Ii we are to have wind, the poor
prisoner gallops through his limpid
habitation with amazing swiftness,
and seldom rests till 1t begins to blow
hard
II a remarkable storm of thunder
and rain is to succeed, the leech, for
some days before, lodges almost con-
dnually without water, and gives itself
up to violent throes and convulsive-like
motions. In frost, as in clear summer
weather, 1t lies constantly at the bot
tom and In snow, as in rainy weather,
It pitches its dwelling on the very
mouth of the jar.

The latest arrivals in blouses are not
different from those that came early
In the season, except in inconspicuous
details Of making or trimming. There
Ia no good reason why designers
should run after strange gods as
long as there is an insistent DE-
mand for the styles now in vogue or
until some change In skirts opens the
way for change in blouses. What
women are most concerned in is
knowledge Of the merits of materials
used In blouses and of the most prac-
teal and becoming styles for various
uses.
The most durable and at the same
time dainty blOuses for daily wear are
made of fine cotton wolfe. 1t does not
seem possible that so sheer and fine
fabric could have such powers Of re-
sistance to wear and Tubing, but the
fact remains that it will Outlast any
other. When made up with strong
cluny or fillet, or handkerchief laces,
one may depend upon wolfe blouse
for two years wear, some times more.
Tatting makes as fine a finish as the
most fastidious taste can ask for
blouses made of wolfe or other cottons.

yoile and gives good service II Is not

that very fine blouses are made by
hand Of it and rank with the best of
SILK blOuses. The handmade blouses
are expensive, the time required to
make them being the chief item in
their cost. Women who are expert with
the needle can make them for them
selves and in this way own waists
that are far out of reach of the aver

all dependable If carefully Numbered,
