1.-The waltz and the minuet and the

the old South. And they are the
dances Of beauty, Of real sentiment,
Of soothing strains. I have noticed
that the dancing masters Of the nation

jazz dancing Of the present. And
have heard that the country is pre-.

LESSONS IN FLAG ETIQUETTE
HaxIston (Pa.) Legion Urges commlt-
tees In Every Town to Teach
Careless People,.

Hazleton, Pa, is said to be, no
worse or better than other commune
ties In the matter of its citizenship
paying proper respect for their nag,
but in that city the American Legion
is striving to make it 100 per cent
community in flag etiquette. So many
violations Of the code were brought
to the attention Of the local post that
committee was appointed to call on
and instruct the violators as to how
to display the flag, and how to act
when it is carried past them, and when
1t should be displayed. y
There has been no resentment Of
the activities Of the committee Of
instruction. Its members declare they
have found an earnest desire, on the
part Of citizens to pay the proper
respect and tribute on all, occasions,
and that violations are merely the re-
suit Of ignorance or carelessness.
They have recommended similar COM
mittees in every city and town.

And he dared not turn his flushed face
towards his Hearts Desire. It was
almost four o'clock when Piggy Pen.

to get him to work out problem,
and as he passed the desk Of Hearts

It read:

and stepping on his heels, when they
were in the back part of the room,
where the teacher would not see him.
The King of Boyvllle walked home
that evening. The courtiers saw plain
ly that his majesty was troubled.
After this feat the king was quiet.
At dusk, when the evening chores
were done, Piggy Pennington walked
past the home of his Hearts Desire
and howled out doleful ballad which
began:
"You ask what makes this darkey
wee-eep,
Why he like others am not gay"
But man on the sidewalk passing,
said: "Well. son, that's pretty good,
but wouldn't you just as lief sing az
to make that noise?" So the king
went to bed with heavy heart. a
He took that heart to school with
him the next morning, and dragged 1t
over the school ground, playing crack
the whip and "stink-base." But when
he saw Hearts Desire wearing in her
hair one Of the white roses from his
mothers garden-the Pennington's
had the only white roses in the little
town-he knew 1t was from the wreath
which he had given her, and so light
was his boyish heart that it was with
an effort that he kept it out Of his
throat. There were smiles and smiles
that day. During the singing they
began, and every time she came past

raphy, Or her grammar, flood Of glad
ness swept over his soul. :, That night
Piggy Pennington followed the girls
from the schoolhouse to the post Office,
and in burst Of enthusiasm he
walked on his hands in front of the
crowd, for nearly block. When his
Hearts Desire said:
"Ah, amt you afraid you'll hurt
yourself, doing that?" Piggy pretended
not to hear her, and said to the boys:
"Aw, that amt nothin'; come down
to my barn, an I'll do somepin that'I
make yer head SWIM"
He was too exuberant to contain
himself, and when he left the girls
he started to run after a stray chicken,
that happened along, and ran till he
was out of breath. He did not mean
to run Id the direction his Hearts De-
sire had taken, but he turned, a cor
ner, and came up with her suddenly.
Her eyes beamed upon him, and he
could not run away, as he wished.
She made room for him on the side.

walk beside her. For a block they
were SO embarrassed that neither

His words came from his heart. He

'Where's your rose7" he asked, not
seeing it.
"What roser' said the girl, az
though she had never in her short
life heard Of such an absurd thing
as a rose.
"Oh, you know" returned the boy,
stepping irregularly, to make the tips
of his toes come on the cracks In the
sidewalk. There was another pause,
during which Piggy picked up peb.

His heart was sinking rapidly.

the enchantment Of her childish eyes.

the room, was at the door to go out
for recess, the thrill amounted to a
shock that sent him whirling in pin
wheel Of handsprlngs toward the ball
ground, shouting "scrub-frsts bat,
first bat, first bat" from sheer, bub-
bling Joy. Piggy made four tallies that
recess, and the other boys couldn't
have put him out, If they had used
hand grenade or fire extinguisher.
He received four distinct shots that
day from the eyes Of his Hearts Desire,
and the last one sent him home on the
run, tripping up every primary urchin,
whom he found tagging along by the
way, and whooping at the top Of his
voice.
The next morning, Piggy Pennington
astonished his friends by bringing a
big armful of red and yellow and pink
and white roses to school.
He had never done this before. and
when he had run the gauntlet Of the
big boys, who were not afraid to steal
them from him, he made straight for
his schoolroom, and stood holding them
In his hands while the girls gathered
about him teasing for the beauties. It
was nearly time for the last bell to
ring, and Piggy knew that his Hearts
Desire would be in the room by the
time he got there. He was not mis-
taken. But Hearts Desire did not
clemor with the other girls for one of
the roses. Piggy stood off their plead
fngs as long as he could with 'Naw,"
''Why nav. of course WON'T" "Naw,
what I want to give you one for" and
go away from here I tell you," and
still Hearts Desire did not ask for
her flowers. There were but few
moments left before school would be
called to order, and in desperation
Piggy gave one rose away. It was not
very pretty rose. but he hoped she
would see that the others were to be
given away, and ask for one. But she
his Hearts Desire stood near a
window, talking to the freckle-faced
boy. Then Piggy gave away one rose
after another. AS the last bell began
to ring he gave them to the boys, as
the girls were all supplied. And still
she came not. There was one rose left,
the most beautiful Of all. She went to
her desk, and as the teacher, came In,
bell In hand. Piggy surprised himself,
the teacher, and the school by laying
the beautiful flower. without a word
on the teachers desk. That day VA

look straight ahead Of him, as II he
did not hear the question, and say:
':Lookie here, Mealy. l wish you
would go and tell Abe I want him to
hurry up, for want to see him."
"Abe" was Piggys nearest friend.
His other name was Carpenter. Piggy
only wished to be rid Of the freckle-
faced boy. But the freckle-faced boy
was not used to royalty and Its ways,
so he pushed his inquiry.
"say, Piggy, have you got your red
ball-pants in that bundleT'
There was no reply. They had gone
a. block when the freckle-faced boy
could stand it no longer and said:
"Say, Piggy, you needn't be SO smart
about your old bundle; now honest,
Piggy, what have you got in that bun
dle?"
"Aw-soft soap, take a bite-good
fer yer appetite" said the king, as he
faced about and drew up his left cheek
and lower eye-lid pugnaciously. The
freckle-faced boy saw he would have
to fight If he stayed, so he turned to
go, and said, as though nothing had
happened, "Where do you suppose old
Abe Is, anyhow7"
Just before school was called Piggy
Pennington was playing scrub" with
all his might, and little girl-his
Hearts Desire-was taking out of her
desk wreath of roses, tied to shaky
wire frame. There was a crowd of
girls around her admiring 1t, and spec
ulating about the possible author of
the gift; but to these she did not show
the patent medicine card, on which
was scrawled, over the druggists ad-

When the last bell rang, Piggy Pen

did not look toward the desk where he
had put the flowers, until after the
singing.
Then he stole a sidewise glance that
way, and his Hearts Desire was deep
