by Fenton Bott, of Dayton, O., director
of Dance Reform of the American
National Association, Masters of
Dancing.
The Fox Trot' is the dance that
receives the most abuse by the
dancer said the statement, "and il
is the Fox Trot' music as written
and played in Jazz fashion, that
causes the dancer to abuse this popu-

with the Fox Trot' or the steps in
the Fox Trot' but it is n conceded
fact among all ttchers of dancing
that the Oriental suggestiveness and

the downward trend Of the dance.

WILLIAM MAC LEOD RAINE was born in

parents. At the age of eleven he came to the
United States where his father had a sawmill
and cattle ranch. After graduating from Ober-
lin college in 1894 he took up newspaper work
in Denver and Seattle.
Raine believes in firSt-hand knowledge of
the setting for what he writes As youth he
rode to the all-night ranch dances where he
picked up local color for his future stories.
He went to New Mexico and browsed among
the old-timers to get material for his Gun

Raine has actually lived part of his ro-
mances. He received permission from the gov
