BY p. G. WodehouSe

DANCING, says the encyclopedia, corresponds
to a universal primitive instinct in man.
and is practiced by the South Sea Islanders.
the Forest Indians of Brazil, the zulus, the
Negroes of Central Africa and the native Aus
tralians, exactly as it was in the earlier stages
of every civilized modern race. 1t dates back
to the early Egyptians, who ascribed the inven-
ton of it to the god Thoth. The Phrygian
Corybantes danced in honor of Cybele, and
every time the festival of Rhea Sylvia came
around the ancient Roman hooters were there
with their hair in a braid. In other words,
there never was a time when some well mean
ing man like myself with ambition at one end
Of him and two left feet at the other was not
getting it in the neck. In this very article I
am probably plagiarizing the exact WORDS OF
some early Egyptian. I can see him in my
minds eye taking his chisel and chipping out
in well chosen phrases on the rock in the back
garden exactly what he thought of the fellows
who told him he would have to learn the
Rameses Wriggle just after he had spent a
year and half learning the Thoth Lame Duck.
1T one could escape dancing altogether ii
would be all right. In the old days when was
slim and active dancing came into ones life
in only two ways. Either you received a card
of invitation to some formal balm which
case it was the work of moment for our hero
to reply that he was sorry, but unfortunate
previous engagement prevented him accepting
or else after dinner at some week end v sit
somebody began to shove back the furniture
and somebody else sat down at the piano and
dancing suddenly broke out. In the latter
event it was always possible to sneak out and
smoke pipe in the garden or at the worst I'd
go to bed But now that dancing during meals
has for the last Is years so established itself
as custom Of society it is almost impossible to
sidestep. One is faced with the necessity Of
dancing somehow, and when your partner wants
to step while you want to throw a rubber bali
from one hand to the other, perfect harmony is
impossible.
The Puritan ancestors, to quote from the
encyclopedia once more, saw deadly sin in
promiscuous dancing" Father Mariana tells
us that "the famous saraband worked moro
mischief than the plague" Across the aEts Z
exchange silent handshake with Father
Mariana knew just how he felt. I'll bet that
Father Mariana had worked like a dog at IS
pesasas the complete course of IL lessons guar
anteed to teach the fandango, and just when
his instructor had finally told him that he was
ut to do it at the next hop, along came the
Amalgamated Brothers with their new-fangled
saraband. where you hoped twice instead OF
sliding once, and slid TO the left instead OF
hopping to the right. We cannot blame the
reverend father for his roast The only wunS1er
is that he did not express himself even NOS
forcibly. -

Later in life I learned to waltz. That Is
putting it little loosely, perhaps. What I
mean to say is that, after weeks of labor,

use the rifles as clubs. The head hunters were
immensely surprised for up to- now, knowing
that we were far outnumbeFed, we had had to
content ourselves with defense tactics only. Our
sudden change of tactic alarmed them and they
began to fall back.
All at once they saw the canoes full Of war
riors approaching around the bend of the river.
The sight Of these totally unexpected rein
forcementS must have stunned them, for the
next of Sembulus warriors was desper-
ately frightened group making fast time toward
the thick, protecting jungle. BY the time the
relief party had grounded their canoes there
was not sign of Sembulu's army of wild men
We could see the warriors of Pelandet and
Lambang coming ashore now and making
preparation for their own battle. The two.
chiefs made their ceremonious way up the hill
to call on me.
"Tabek Tuan," said Peandet. holding out his
hand. How many heads have got? Maybe
plenty?"
AS he spoke Lambang came up on the other
side and he, too, extended his hand and greet
ed me: "Tabek, Tuan."
I explained to them that it was not the GUS
tom of white men to collect heads as proof of
the number of enemy killed, but assured them
that our gunsticks had accounted for good
many of the fighting warriors. told them that
our battle was over, but that would stay
to help them win theirs, and then we would all
go down the river together That evening we
were freed from the necessity of constant
watching which had been our chief care for
many weary hours. We all turned in, weary,
sleepy and happy.
WITH the coming of dawn the chiefs came
again for a consultation. We were
grouped around our fire, eating the first regular
breakfast we had had for several mornings.
The chiefs were very solemn in anticipation of
the battle they were arranging Pelandet and
old Lambang, seeing our formidable array of
rifles, together with the evidence Of sue
cess against Sembulu, for their warriors had
long since hacked off the heads of the dead,
soon were stirred into certainty of victory.
With hideous yells they picked up bolos and
SPEARS and made off, long dark line of moving
men, into the shadows Of the jungle trees.
For some time the shouting continued, ever
diminishing in strength, and finally died away.
It was quiet in the jungle for nearly hour.
Then a warrior emerged from the trees and
shouted message for Pelandet He indicated
that were to follow him. Led by the scout,
we made our way in single file into the forest
and moved UP to where the chiefs were watt
ing 1t appeared that the enemy had been To-
Gated. The two chiefs agreed to split into two
parties Pelandet planned to move off into
the jungle on a detour to attack Ssmbulu'S
cripples from the rear as old Lambang
began his frontal attack We white men were
to follow Lambangs party and support the
main charge.

y ELL, the Society of Amalgamated
Professors of the Dance or
I'M whatever they call themselves
have met again and taken the
joy out of my life. These are
the people, may not have got their name
rght-who come together periodically and de-
eide which is to be the fashionable dance for
the next few months or years or whatever it
may be- How they exercise their influence I
do not know, but am given to understand that
they are primarily responsible for the changes
in public taste. The blighters little know how
they have soured my existence, and something
seems to tell me that if they did know they
wouldn't care. I cannot see why these persons
are permitted to go about the place making
trouble.
No other sports except foot ball and dancing
are afflicted by a gang perpetually altering the
rules of the game. When you learn to golf
the professional tells you in a perfectly frank
and straightforward way that all you have to
remember is to use the interlocking grip and
the open stance-or if you prefer 1t, the old
fashioned grip and the square stance-and
bring the club up slowly and keep the head
steady and roll the forearms and bend the left
knee and raise the left heel and be careful not
to let the heel move outward and keep your
eye on the ball and let the club-head lead and
follow through and not sway back and not look
up after hitting the ball until you have counted
two and few more things like that, and when
you have SO developed yourself as to be able to
remember all these things simultaneously you
are all right; your troubles are over, and there
is nothing more to worry about.
PUT how would you feel if your mentor after
instilling the above knowledge into you,
were to add: "Of course, you understand that
this is merely intended to see you through till
about the same time next year. After that
the Supreme Grand Council of Consolidated
Divot-Shifters viii scrap these methods as old
fashioned and invent entirely new SET"

No sooner had We halted and taken position
than, with series of hideous yells the at

prey. We jumped to our feet and in moment
were rushing to the scene of action. We found
Sembulu's warriors in a panic. Pelandet had
come from the rear and the veteran datu's

We never fired a shot Our late enemies

nor even Pelandet. Flushed with victory they

But as we travelled down the river our escort

Ulrich in a press interview. that
Chopin was inspired to write the
waltz by the sight Of a little dog
running round and round after his
tail.
The lifting melody often repeated
was supposed TO be like the con-
tinuous revolutions OF the dog.
George Sand said Chopin had
told her that when he composed it
he wished to write song Of the
spring, Ulrich said. He could not
manage the words himself, but he
hoped that some one would do it,
and that the last line would be,
and thus on high sings the lark
In 1889, with the help Of Jules
Merry, I fitted the words TO the
music, but the manuscript was
forgotten until a few weeks ago
when Madame Ritter Ciampi found
it among a pile Of my old folios.
She Immediately seized upon it and
declared that it would suit her per-
fectly."

Chopin always hoped that some

John Ulrich, the 82-year- old COM
