which they develop the coordination

would do these dances well.

girl to dance so that her feet will

dance with ease and without pulling
away from him. The 50 ret OF know
ing how to live through a dance and
come out OF the struggle with shoes
untouched is to know how to walk.
Walking Backward
For the lady there are two ways
of dancing backward tbs ordinary
way is simply to walk backward,
but the good dancer does more than
that; when she places her foot in
back. she does 1t In snch a way that
it looks pretty and it will not be
stepped upon.
Place the feet in what is called
the first position in dancing; the
heels together and toes turned out.
Move the right foot as far back
ward as II Will go and at the same
time stretch the toes well back so
that only the front tip of the foot
touches he floor There should be
straight line from the hip TO the big
toe. Now. bring the foot back to
the first position. Repeat the same
exercise with the other foot.

knew what my partner would do
next. How can l know" I have
been asked this question almost a
million times and always I think of
the time l asked a doctor to cure
my cold. He replied that If he
knew how he would surely cure his
own. So it is with a mans dancing;
he himself often does not know
what step he will do next, and. of
course, the long-suffering partner
must follow. The poor girl who has
no choice in the matter can do but
one thing; she must train her feet
always to be ready for whatever
steps the man takes a notion to do.

Help Figure, Too

In my experience with teaching
social dancing by giving a series of
exercises. I have found that many
of these e--ercises, in addition to
teaching the person 10 dance. also
serve as aids in developing the fig
ure to the ideal form. That these
exercises also make one graceful
goes without saying.
Let us now consider some Of these

Candy, shaving needs for men,

these and hundreds more gift arti-
cles may be found at the Hook

dependable-the saving made on
Christmas purchases at these
stores will be considerable, so take
advantage OF it.

of these Christmas Savings Clubs
that the various banks have? No?
Well. neither has Peggy Ann. but
that doesn't mean that she doesn't
intend to do it this year, for she
certainly does-you know. it gets
to be an old story-this not having
any money with which to buy
gifts for those we love.
The National City Bank has a
plan whereby you can have from
S. to $500 plus interest next Christ
mas-all you have to decide is
how much you need and then act
accordingly-if you want S. at the
end of the year deposit ten cents
a week-if you want $500, deposit
$40 a week and then in addition
to the amount put in you will also
receive the interest on the
amounts.
Make the amount to be paid
every week as high as you can
and If you have more than you
want to spend for gifts-start to
buy a house or something like
that, in order to use up the differ
ence. Peggy Ann is a great adj
wiser on how to spend the differ
ence.

The object Of the exercises is to

in dancing.
After the pupil has brought the
required muscles under control. it is
a simple matter to learn the details

pupil is capable of following her
