YOU ARE AT REST AND STILL
 YOU DANCE
Come and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe

On the light fantastic toe
 Or. to fit our case. stay where you are, under your covers, and dream of dancing. There are many ways in which this vision may may come to you-and the best, if you are a maiden, is to dance with young girl, alone in a room. For she will be your bridesmaid within the year. Alone in the room, I said, for should others be present while you and a girl are dancing then the other will be the bride and you the brides maid inside of a twelve-month.
 To dance with man is dream the meaning of which depends en- tire1y upon surrounding circum- stances. Let me recite some of the combinations which have come to my notice of late: To dance with the man you love, is sign you will quarrel with him; if you feel ex- hausted and weak, then he will turn from you. To dance with man you dislike shows you are Tickle and will have trouble on account of your flirtatious inclinaticns. To be whirled about by a stranger is messenger of temptation, while try
 
 brace of your partner forbodes an unpleasant experience with a man. If there are many people in the room who are watching you but who are not dancing, you will be the sub ject of gossip, if you are sur rounded by other dancers you may be sure of sincere friends and a well come wherever you go; add music to this dream and your wedding or, if you are married woman, that of favorite relative, is not far off. .. A thousand hearts beat happily; and Musnc arose with it's voluptuous

 Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which

 And all went merry as marriage

 But to see others dance while you are resting, is not so pleasant an omen; 1t means that, before long you will have to rest for quite time on account of your health, and will have to bid farewell to the pleasures and sports which now delight you.
 To dance amidst lights and laugh ter and suddenly find yourself in darkness is a sign of extreme dan ger to your good name.
 Strange in it's meaning is the vision in which you see yourself dancing alone, tripping either in solitude or before others. .. Her feet beneath her petticoat, Like little mice stole in and out, As if they feared the light; But, oh! she dances such wayl No sun upon an Easter-day
 Is half so- fine a sight.
 If, then, you dream thus about yourself, and there is no one about, the mad idea will cross your mind to elope-whether you be single or married; the impulse will seize you and fate alone can decide whether you will follow it or fight off the temptation. And, if, as you trip by yourself, others are present, there will be scandal in the wake of some act of yours. and unhappiness to boot. Let such dream be a solemn, an almost sacred warning, There is a not infrequent dream of dancing in which the sleeper be- lieves herself on stage, garbed in fantastic costume, performing before great audience. Such a vision means fame in some art, the sudden discovery, perhaps. that you have great aDlllty Which, for lack of op- portunity, has hitherto lain hidden and dormant in the recesses of your mind.
 Bad is dream in which, in reck- less manner, you give yourself over to the ecstacy of an abandoned dance.
 let joy be unconfined. No rest till morn, when youth and
 pleasure meet,
 To chase the glowing hours with
 flying feet.
 This means that. despite entreaties, despite warnings, despite your own better Judgment, you will change the quiet mode of your life for needless adventure and thoughtless enioy- ment.
 One of the rarer dreams is to dance with child. It spells mother hood
