Of suitors came to her fathers court

rich and powerful, but he loved his
daughter so much that he let her have
her own way in everything. ~
Jem was an orphan lad who cleaned
the pots and pans in the kitchen. His
post was an humble one, but Jem was
strong, brave and determined to make
himself something in the world.
That evening the palace was full Of
music, light and gaily dressed lords
and ladies. All the princes who came
counting wore gorgeous suits, and so
many were there that their horses
stood four deep in the stables.
Behind big palm Jem hid himself
and looked in wonder at the scene Of
magnificence. AS midnight sounded

Nothing but that. sa.r.
fspJo EVENT ever produced SO
81 &great sensation" wrote Thorn
as-sR aikes in his personal RecOllec-
tions,;" "as the introduction of the Ger
man waltz. Old and young returned to
school, and the mornings were now
absorbed at home in whirling chair
around the room to learn the step and
measure Of the German waltz. The
anti-waltzing party took alarm, cried
it down; mothers forbade it, and every
ballroom became scene Of feud and
contention"
Such was the attitude toward the
new dance when it was new some
hundred and twenty-five years ago.
True the waltz is not so much of
favorite at popular dance as is the
one-step or fox trot, but you will find
that those who are able to dance it
well really prefer it to the other
dances.
OF course we do regard it as a
rather tame affair dlC0T all ln0 OtllcE
modern dances, but the time was
once, as Thomas Raikes suggests,
when it was regarded as quite as
shocking as we regarded any of the
new-fangled trots when they came
out. In fact, Goethe makes Werner
say that If he were married his wife
should waltz with no one but him
self. And there were rather old
fashioned folk generation ago who,
though they would two-step and polka
with others after they were engaged,
would waltz only with the one to
whom they were betrothed. Now we
have no such sentimental notions.
We prefer usually to dance with the
persons with whom we are best able
to 60 through the steps. Lads dance
with their own grandmothers and are
glad enough to do so If those grand
mothers dance WELL
