Here is the first dancing lesson for Georgian readers by* Miss Donna Bain, beautiful instructor of Atlanta society and brilliant expert in all the latest steps. By MISS DONNA BAIN The popularity which the hesitation waltz has recently achieved In Amer ican dancing circles is an indication that the old-time glide waltz, so pop ular in the days of our forefathers, is j coming back into.favor, for the hesi tation retains many of the beauties of the glide with distinctive varia tions that give it what might be termed individuality. And, incidentally, it is to be great ly hoped that the favor with which the return of the glide waltz, even in a modified form, is being greeted, will means the extermination of those dancing abominations called turkey trot and the bear and all the other freak dances that require exagger ated. unnecessary’ and foolish move ments of the shoulders and the body to give them a thrill and carry them to success. Full of Grace and Beauty. There was never a dance, perhaps, sc filled with natural grace and beauty as the glide waltz, and you will still find that the majority of the dancers, though they bow to the dic tates of fashion and dance the new’ dances, still have a tender spot in their hearts for the glide waltz and dance it at everv opportunity. And for those the hesitation is a suitable and satisfactory substitute. It is a combination of the Boston and the old glide waltz, combined in just the right proportion to suit devotees of both dances. The Heston steps give it vim and go. while there is retained enough of the glide waltz to pre vent tiie dance from being awkward, and to give it a sort of bewildering beauty that neither the Boston nor the glide waltz alone has. The hesitation is not hard to dance, and to learn it one does not have to have any special fund of natural grace, although the more graceful the beginner is the quicker will she learn. Grace is an inherent quality of the dance, ind any recognized dance, danced well, is graceful. The aver age person, even with no knowledge of dancing, should learn th»* hesita tion waltz in a few’ lessons and for a good waltzer the task should be even easier. Instructions for dancing tjie hesi tation waltz could be spun out in al most an endless thread, but I think the following will suffice to g;ve any one an idea of how to dance t. Here Are the Steps. In the hesitation waltz the girl should start on the right foot, and balance back on the left, taking four Boston walk steps forward; waltz I back on the left and hesitate on the right; starting on the left foot, take four Boston steps, reversing to left and Hesitating on the left; repeat, starting on the right foot. Another step n the hesitation waltz Is made by waltzing on the left foot, alternating forward and hack, and hesitating on the right foot between the waltz steps. There are numerous others that come with practice and that should not be attempted until the principles of the dance have been W’ell grounded. And in dancing, remember that the more you try to be graceful, the more graceful you probably will be. And above all do not shrug your shoulders or wiggle your body. There are some dances, notable interpretive and clas sical dances, that require certain movements of the arms, shoulders and the body to convey the full mean ing of the dance—but in the modern ballroom dance such movements are out of place and ungraceful.

Powell, ANDERSON & SHROPSHIRE, of Atlanta Now Prominently Connected With THE C0SA10P0LITAN It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Ander son A: Shropshire (Marcellus M. Anderson and A. J. Shropshire, Jr.), of Atlanta, as managers for THE COSMOPOLITAN for territory' em bracing about forty eounties north of Fulton, and some few south, with exclusive control, except counties of Fulton and DeKalb. Both of these gentlemen are highly respected citizens of Atlanta, and by their courteous and just treatment of agents they have built up a very strong agency force of an unusually fine type of men. The reasons which induced Messrs. Anderson & Shropshire to be come associated with THE COSMOPOLITAN are worthy of note. First, Air. Anderson and Mr. Shropshire are loyial Georgians, and feel that they are performing a duty to their State in assisting to build up a Great Home Institution, which is destined to accomplish an immense amount of good in developing the resources of our State as well as the South at large. In the second place, these gentlemen have made the connection after weeks of deliberation and the closest investigation of the financial condition of THE COSMOPOLITAN: the character of of ficers and directors of the Company, and the economical and conserv ative business policy to he pursued. Their investigation has disclosed the fact that not one penny has been paid for the sale of the Company’s stock, and no rebate or concession given to any subscriber, all buying their stock on the same basis. They have found that the members of the Finance and Executive Committees of the Company are enthusias tic and ready to co-operate in making THE COSMOPOLITAN a great Southern Life Insurance Company. Furthermore, they have carefully inspected the forms of policies issued by the Company, and found them sound actuarially, and at the same time very attractive to insurers. 1 beg to state that THE COSMOPOLITAN is the only company organized under the new and rigid insurance laws of Georgia, and the organization was perfected under the direct supervision of Hon. Wm. A. Wright, Insurance Commissioner, and Mr. John A. Copeland, Dep uty Insurance Comissioner. Thoy are familiar with every detail, and have given the Company their highest indorsement, as shown by the following statement of General Wright: OFFICE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER, STATE OF GEORGIA: Atlanta. March 1, 1913. Dr. M. M. Riley. Chairman, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir—I desire to say that your Committee is to he con gratulated upon having secured the consent of Air. J. O. Wynn to accept the Presidency of the reorganized Cosmopolitan Life In surance Company. I have known Air. Wynn officially and per sonally for nearly thirty years, and am familiar with his career as a Southern insurance manager. He is a man of unquestioned in tegrity, universally recognized as an insurance man of the very highest qualifications, and an eminently successful financier, as at tested by the success of all enterprises with which he has been con nected. I am satisfied from the conversation T have had with Air. Wynn in regard to this matter that he has bben finally induced to accept the Presidency of this Company entirely from patriotic motives. His official connection with the company will draw about him the co-operation of the leading business men of this and other pities of the State, and, in my judgment, when it becomes generally known that he is connected 'with the Company, the stock, old as well as new. will, within a very short while, material ly advance in value. I am satisfied that no more advantageous se lection of a man for the Presidency of the Company could have been made, and feel that this sole c'tion assures the future success of the Company. Yours verv trulv, (Signed) WM. A. WRIGHT, Insurance Commissioner. I desire to call attention to the fact that TIIE COSAIOPOLI- TAN’’LIFE INSURANCE COAIPANY, which was organized on April 5, 1913, has! no connection whatever with “Cosmopolitan” Life Insurance Company, which failed in December, 1912. The new com pany, by purchase from the Insurance Department, acquired the as- .sets of the old company, paid the claims authorized by the courts, put in new money and new officers, and intends al waysot pursue conserv ative and safe business methods. I confidently believe that the citizens of Georgia will appreciate our efforts to make a Great Home Company, and will give us a liberal share of their business. I he < ompany merits the fullest confidence, and mvites the <-! «e«t invertitration. JAMES 0. WYNN, President.
