the peoples of the East and the peoples
OF the West was revealed to me the other
day by dancing school teacher in Wash.
ington, who said that her classes were
thronged BY members Of the Chinese and
Japanese delegations to the Armament Con.
ference who were anxious to learn the art
OF the terpsichorean from the American
standpoint: To teach the Chinese and the
Japanese how to dance as do the Ameri.
cans is. however. q task of infinite difficulty
There is nothing In the Oriental music
which has in it any Of the rhythm Of ouu.
japanese dancing Is a one man stunt and
Japanese music pounds away monotonousy.
The introduction of the dancing partner
and the swayine rhythm is thing quite
unnatural to the Oriental conception d
tempo.

normal before he became a school teacher,
And here they were again after endless
wanderings and both quite some pumpkins.

Then there steps forth Captain B. DINO:
vile, wearing the uniform OF the navy Of
Great Britain. and says that abolition Of
