Her Views.

New York.-That there are not
more nervous wrecks in these par
lous times is due-partly. anyway.
to the fact that the whole world
has taken up dancing in a big
way to loosen its emotional tension.
That is the opinion Of Maud Allan
world-famous American dancer,
who when she made her debut at
Is in Vienna. had TO face the fact
that the profession she had chosen
was considered not quite respect
able"
Miss Allan, who now lives IN Lon
don, has returned here after a 10
year absence, TO dance in several Of
the larger cities and to talk TO
women about peace, the subject
that, next to dancing, is closest to
her heart.
And the two are curiously re-
lated" the blue-eyed. soft voiced
woman declares, thoughtfully. "A
dancers life is so bound up with
the human emotions, from frivolity
to tragedy, that she feels more
keenly perhaps than other persons
the menace of prejudice and mill
fancy"
Dancing as Font of Youth
For years Miss Allan has made
study of the youthifying qualities
Of the dance and unheSitatingly
says that practice in the art lops
from 10 to 20 years off the calendar
age. That, she thinks, is the result
of emotions freed and strain re-
leased.
Miss Allan. while classicist, likes
all kinds of dancing. In fact, the
tap variety fascinates her and she
has put it into the curriculum of
her London school. This school is
conducted in her Regency house,
more than 10 years old, surrounded
by beautiful gardens and ancient
trees.
Painting to Dancing
1.-THE idea of giving this training
came to me when I saw tenement
children dancing to hurdy- gurdies
or doing little plays on their front
stoops," she explains. II would
love to open a similar school here,
but, of course, it is an expensive
business"
Miss Allan has danced in all the
world capitols and won the APP
plause of kings as well as critics.
She became a dancer, though, by
what looked at first like an I'M
lucky accident.
She has gone to Germany to
study music, had passed a compete
tive examination and been en-
tered, the youngest student, at the
Royal Academy.
Then she took a cold and became
SO i'll that she had to leave her
studies and go to Italy to recuper-
ate. 1t was there, in the long weary
days when piano practice was for
hidden, that she visited an art gall
lery and saw the lovely Primavera
of Botticelli. 1t made her want to
learn to dance.
Later she studied both classic and
ballet dancing, took what she
wanted from each, and with her
knowledge of music was able to
compile the unique dancing style
that was to make her internation-
ally known.

young lady because his feminine
traits make up for her lack of
them. Present this point of view
to your friend.
Explain to her that love of the
opposite sex is accompanied by
the development of emotional at
titudes of responsibility. In de-
voting herself to another woman
she does not incur any RESPONSE
bility. A deep-seated fear of
childbirth is sometimes back of
the complete rejection of the role
of woman. When your friend
learns to hold her own sex in
greater esteem, she will be more
satisfied with herself as a woman
and less interested in trying to be-
come a poor imitation of a man.

NTH q je1Celed butterfly,
aCorn by Anita Louise.
BY GERTRUDE BAILEY
HAVE you noticed how many
l. L. young looking dresses Of
velvet there are this fall? How
many romantic or impudent lit
tie velvet caps are shown with
them? How many half-hats, Re-
boux' invention, appear in velvet
for the dating age?
They are not all black. With
the beautiful rich colors of the
Renaissance and the very latest
color-shot velvet, the designers
have worked out debutante
clothes that are appropriate and
much more glamorous than this
age is generally allowed.
THE debs are delighted. For
IL once in their lives they can
pass up the bouffant taffeta if
they want to without making it
family issue.
This is almost as true of
afternoon clothes as it is of eve
ming costumes. There is the
short jacket suit Of velvet, very
fitted, that is more apt to be
found in junior miss departments
than in the matron's shop. There
is the street-length bar dress Of
velvet, done in such colors as
sapphire blue, lark green, or wine
with gold iewelry Sometimes the
fabric itself is shot with gold to
make it that much more brilliant.
VELVET has been puckered,
v gathered, snirred and plated
in elaborate ways for accessories.
You will see barrel-shaped muffs,
petaled shoulder capes, gloves,
scarfs and hats of velvet. The
scarfs and vestees may be in sew
eral colors, blended tones of the
same color, or contrasted, such as
grey-blue, with brown and green;
or sulphur yellow with black.
The hats look very young and
pretty. Most of them are off the
face, with velvet bows or a single
jeWeled ornament for trimming.
An exception is the Glengarry
bonnet done in black velvet with
a twist of red, blue, black and yell
low for color.

Most bridge enthusiasts are
familiar with the famcas Duke OF
Cumberland hand. in which one
player holds practically all the
high cards, but has grand slam
made against him. The hand may
have come up in actual play, but
more likely it was product of the
dukes imagination.
Here, however, is the modern
counterpart Of this hand, and this
one really was played in a small
duplicate game in Cleveland.
South had a double dose of mis-
fortune here. Not only did the OPP
ponents make six hearts doubled,
but South unwittingly helped them
to reach that contract. His dia-
mond and club calls permitted cue

mad scramble for possessions. They didn't have to worry over the price of canned goods, for they consumed what they grew. They had no fertilizers, no new-fangled implements or scientific ways to guide them, but these builders of civilization possessed progressive spirits, and plenty of initiative. They had no motor cars, tiled bathrooms, radios, telephones and such, but they enjoyed them- selves nevertheless. They didn't sell their labor for wages, but earned their living by 1t. They were lords of their own manors, and had faith in the Creator of SO wonderful a continent.
 The foundation of this prosper- ous city was actually laid in 1674s Yet, Mattatuck, as Waterbury was originally called by the white set- tiers, remained nothing more than plantation until 1925 when a borough was organized. It was the ninth borough in the state. The electors were a warden, burgesses and freemen. It stayed under this form of government for the next 28 years, or until 1853, when the City of Waterbury was 1ncorpo-
 rated. From that time on the place began to really grow. The keyword or keynote was improve
 ment, slow, steady improvement.
 The first real experimental vil-
 lage, here in Waterbury, was sit-
 uated where the Green is to-day. on homestead tracts with all
 houses of the same size and in general appearance. They were
 built in conformity with the so- called Proprietor's Agreement.
 Each settler had to build within
 six months or forfeit the parcel of land allotted him. These pioneers lived in the Garden of Contempla- tion, but they didn't let the fruit full hours drift through their fin-
 gers. They were wise enough to
 grasp and use every gifted oppor- tunity. They possessed abundant optimism and also the quality of originality. They were captains or
 their fate, so to speak, masters of circumstance. They were capable
 of faith, of hope, of pride, of sor-
 row and of joy. And also capable
 of courage, heroism and of hon.
 or. Their power and their glory
 depended on these things. But it
 was through work and effort, ob-
 servation and reflection that they
 acquired adequate material for the production of their splendid ideas. Different Then
 Conditions were little different in those days. Character, intelli-
 gence, and the joy of life were not measured in terms of money.

necticut's tercentenary, was ap- pointed that young DnchesneaWs question was asked. It solved big problem for the committee. They didn't have to rack their brain for an idea. Here was suggestion, a real suggestion. And they adopted it. -ft
 Members of the committee set to work to perfect plans. "Why not have an international side as well as a Colonial side?" asked one of the committee. "A very good idea," remarked another. And then 1t was decided to invite each major nationality in the city to participate. All responded spien- didly. The next move was to form the Settlers Village Corporation of Waterbury, Inc.
 OGicers Elected
 Papers of incorporation were drawn up, signed by the secretary of state, and the following officers duly nominated and elected: Hon. President, T. Frank Hayes; pres ident, Thomas F. Kelly; vice. president, Charles P. Sciullo; sec retary. John Bendler; treasurer, Thomas F. Moore. William M. Harris, we'll known relief admin istrator, was named manager. Other members of the, corporation besides those already mentioned are: Francis P. Guilfoile, James Phelan, Patrick Flaherty, Rawson w. Haddon, Mrs. T. L. Driggs. Frank J. Green. Mrs. Rowley W. Phillips. Irving w. Harrison. Ar mand w. Blanchard, Charles Dre- her, Herman J. Weisman. Rev. Peter Dzubay, Louis A. Walsh, John A. Johnson, John T. ,Sterl- ing, William MacLean and Mrs. Leila T.

The pioneers weren't obliged to struggle to keep step with pros- porous connections. They pos- sessed developed personalities of their own and cultivated both mind and manners. And they were not weighed down with the uppurtenances of nice living. &
 The houses on the Green in those days. and in other sections or this territory. represented the taste and needs of the people who lived in them.
 In the due course of time these folks found time to play. They held dances and other social affairs. There was a hypnotic effect about the free swinging rhythm and the persistent repetition of the old mu- sical themes. It made the dancers excited and enthusiastic. The sriz- zled old men and the sedate mat rofs whooped 1t up to high pitch along with the others. All the folks (Continued on Page 10 A).

The great works of the world al- ways began with one person. Every institution that has contributed to American progress has been built upon the initiative and enthusiasm of an individual. The origin of Settlers Village, Waterbury's Wonderland and chief feature of Connecticut's tercentenary ob- servance, can also be traced to the enthuiasm of one individual-the late Henry Duchesneau, art school student and son of MT. and Mrs. Edmond Duchesneau of 2S Ayres street.
 Young Duchesneau Che was only 19,,When he died last February or burns sustained when he accident ally turned scalding water into his bath) was so enthused over visit to a Settlers Village in Salem Mass, that he began to wonder wHy Waterbury didn't have one. Being frequent visitor to the Mattatuck Historical museum he ran across his friend, Rawson w. Haddon, a director of the society, one day and asked: "Why can't wO have a settlers village here like they have up in Salem!"
 Idea Adopted
 The answer to that question IS Settlers Village in Chase park. How proud young Duchesneau would be if he could see this Par adise on the Hill!
 It was just about the time that th2 executive, committee of the Waterbury observation of Con-

hats being removed and heads bowed as prayers were mumbled in thanks to the Almighty. The cler- gy has played an important part in the success of this modern Utopia.
 Settlers Village has done much to wake Waterbury up. People have actually started to sing, to dance, to parade and make merry in general. The old songs and dances have brought back pleasant memories. old friendships have been renewed. And Waterbury has; become one big family with many outings to be enjoyed. An tagonisms have been forgotten. Economic competition and social and political considerations have proved of little importance. New fife has been instilled in the resi- dents of this fair city. People have become active once again and show an interest in what is going on about them. All of which makes a better community spirit.
 The Democrat has played an im- portant part in creating this har- mony. It has devoted many col umns of news to the local tercen- tenary project. It has issued spe- cial cachets. It has stood the ex- pense of photographing and pub fishing pictures of the various fea- lures of the village and of the principal characters who have CO., operated in making Settlers Vil- lage the landmark of the entire state.
 Universal Appeal
 It has often been said that New England was a United States in miniature. Writers have pointed out that the counterpart of the Rockies is found in the White and Green Mountains; the rugged coastline of Washington and Or egon in the rock bound coast of M,.:ne and Massachusetts; the prairies and warm lands of the Middle West in Connecticut and (Continued on Page 10 Al.

derstand the remarkable progress made since that time. It will be my endeavor to paint a word pie ture of the transformation of vir- gin territory into a country village, and then into a modern city-the Waterbury of to-day.
 Let us allow our imagination to carry us back to the 17th century. It should be refreshing, as well as interesting, to stroll down through the years-from the dense wilder ness, on into the fields and or chards, and then onto the we'll paved and well-lighted streets, with their buildings of architectur- al beauty, to view other marvellous creations of the goth century.
 We all know that Waterbury was called "Matetacoke" by the Indians away back in 1857 when John Stanley and John Andrews of Pennington signed 8 deed for the purchase of a track of land. It was not until 1874, however, that a group of settlers arrived here from Pennington. They numbered about 30. They erected shelters HI LllC WiiuCI LCoo "hob 10 AO" the Town Plot section.
 They were cultivators of the earth, vigorous, independent and virtuous. They encountered terri tory of only indifferent fertility, covered with impenetrable woods and considerable rock. These men were the feeblest denizens of this wilderness, yet, even then, man was the measure of all things.
 From trackless wilderness. with its miles of unbroken forests, these settlers carried on through violent winds, rain storms, small blizzards, bitter cold and stifiing heat to create a private Utopia. a happy valley, their paradise. It was the dawn of Waterbury and they laid a foundation that has never been shaken.
 These settlers, and their descend ants, united with immigrants from Ireland, England, Scotland, Ger many, Canada, France. Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, and other foreign countries, to convert this vast region into village, a town, and finally into the fourth city in size, and third city in the value Of its products in the state. I also wish to include in the aforemen- toned group the colored folks who also played a conspicuous part in Waterbury's progress. As far back as 1894 the foreign population, with their children of the first generation, considerably outnum- bered the representatives of the earlier American stock. Pre-Machine Village
 The early settlers, the pioneers, yes, the dreamers, began to form pre-machine village. They gnawed their way into the vast uncultivated regions, on guard from dawn to dawn against things they seldom saw, for the ground and trees were full of living crea- lures. The yell of wild beasts, and the war-like cry of the Indians. disturbed their peace of mind and rest quite often. The old-timers found happiness in the creative power of vheH spir- 1t, or, at least, of their own hands. Work was admirable then. It was | a joy to create and there was no

 Flags of all nations represented at the village lend their colors to the attractive scene. Old Glory. of course, flies from the highest staff.
 The spell of Settlers Village has engulfed folks of every land. Wis., itors have come from practically every state in the union and from over fifteen foreign countries. By next year, when the exposition re- opens, Settlers Village will be known all over the world. Hardly a newspaper in this country has failed to carry 8 mention of Wa terbury's Wonderland.
