Noth- ing Jooks worse than to sce a person shaking himself as though he had the ague. Letall your pressurd rest on your knees. A gen- tleman shou'dalways remember to lead his lady through s square dance, and not to drag her. Inaround dance he should rest his hand but lightly on the lady's waist lest he leave a disagrecable impression not only on her dress, but also on her mumd, Dance quietly; do not attempt fancy stevs unless you have mastered the simple ones, but above all dance gracefully, for if you are not graceful you are not dancing, you are simply walking around or jumping ina manner that you think is dancing, I con- sider the following the best definition of dancing: “Definite combinations of grace- ful movements performed for the sake of the pleasure which the exercise affords to the duncer.” “Always keep time with the music and see that the measure of your step cor- responds with the measure of the musi This is as important in dancing as it 18 singing, and the lack of harmony when a inger 18 out of time with the accompani- Jent is no more jarring on the nerves than in the case of a dancer similarly situated. In dancing always try to glide through what cver figure the dance is composed of, like the waves of the sea, 50 easily, o naturally, so gracefully that all must admive. When you ance properly it should be not only @ soures of pleasure to you, but ulso a hewithy wid beneticial exercise. “This is particulusly so in regard o children, Apotiier of the good re- ncing is self- home in x, and the young boys veurs off. It sults young people learn from ¢ confidence. ~ They learn to feel the company of ‘the opposite s shyness generally found in and girls gradually also prepares them for the drawing- room, and teaches the youth to show that deference to the opposite sex to which they are entitled, and makes manly iers of them. One of the best ways to dancer is to place him on a ci floor and sec how skillfully he can i lady around the hy For a gentlemin dancer must, so to speal, have his cyes in the direction of the thirty-two points of the compass, 50 he ean deftly steer clear of any who approach and avoid those too frequent occurrences, “collisions.”” You will find dancers so awkward that they can hardly take two steps before they must come to halt. Such w person should play the purt of the “wall-flower” or the *‘promenader” when there are more couples on the floor than _he is_capable of piloting his way through. 13ut above all_ca If natirally: don’t act s though > incased in plaster of paris or werd up ot sticks of wood. A lady, on the other hand, should always re meinber that it is the gentleman's duty to lead, and_should not, as_she often does, try to force the gentleman into her style of dancing. Two Cone 8.
