fully waltzing on their toes they
twirl the scarf above their heads as
they pirouette around the room.
Lack of space In her own home
made it necessary for Ruth to in
quire about renting room or small
hall. However, she was spared this
expense when friends of the fam
lily offered their home for her use
Their small daughter was having
pains in her legs and the doctor
thought dancing lessons would
strengthen them So, for the use
of the living room, Ruth gives the
child free lessons.
Recently Ruth, who is student
of a dancing school, was advanced
to class of teachers. A talented
pupil, she is to be presented to the
public in the fall. This is consid-
cred special honor, as most pupils
are 20, or even older. before they are
presented. However, she intends to
keep on with her lessons.
The money she earns from teach
ing not only helps her pay for these
lessons, but provides extra spending
money.
Dancing Is Spontaneous.
Interpretive dancing gives you a
better understanding of good mu-
sic, besides making you more agile
and graceful" Ruth said. Inter
preting a record she has never heard
before is not hard for the accom-
pliShed dancer. AS the cymbalS
crash she automatically knows what
to do. The dance is spontaneous.
There is no hesitating A person
watching should not be able to tell
that the dance has not been prac-
ticed.
ITO me, this type of dancing is
the most beautiful in the world.
Certainly, it is real art to be able
to interpret your feelings about mu-
sic by dancing"

street NE. and attends Mckinley

Before the class begins, the pupils
shake hands with Ruth, and she
comments on their dancing. In
order to be more Timber the chill
dren dance barefooted. Forming a
circle, they first begin to skip to
the music of a photography; next,
they do various stunts, such as
somersaulting, the cradle, cart
wheels and bridges.
Interpreting Music.
Ruth weaveS in and out among
them, praising some and reproving
others. After while, they lie per-
fectly still on the floor and listen
to records being played. AS they
listen, she asks them questions
whether the music is marching OF
dancing, whether it is high, low
or medium; what 1t suggests to
them. This is important, of course
because the whole idea Of interpre-
tive dancing is to be able to inter
pret a piece Of music and to ex-
press 1t by a dance.

On the following Monday. Button
missed the school bus, and having
no other way to go to school, he
again started his work. When we
arrived at home that evening, he
had finished the sides and was fix

used boards covered with scraps Of

he secured an old rug mother had

Alpacas born in recent years at

The telephone is funny thing.
You turn a dial and make it ring,
You take the receiver OF the rack,
You speak to some one, they speak
back.
You don't see who you are speaking
to,
Nor how the message is going
through.
When you put the receiver to your
ear,
You can hear peoples voices far and
