sang. Moat of them prefer the “two-
step." especially the young, with whom
It la the fashion. The older people have
dances from home, etrange and compll
cated steps which they execute with
grave solemnity. Some do not danct
anything at all, but simply hold each
other's hands and allow tbe undis
ciplined Joy of motion to express Itself
with their feet. Among these are Jo-
kubas Szedvllaa and hla wife, LucIJa,
who together keep the delicatessen
store, and consume nearly aa much aa
they sell: they are too fat to dance,
but they stand In the middle of the
floor, holding each other fast In their
arms, rocking slowly from aids to side
and grinning eeraphlrally, a picture of
toothless and perspiring ecstasy.
Of these older people many wear
clothing reminiscent In some detail of
home—on embroidered waistcoat or
stomacher, or a gaily colored handker
chief, or a coat with large cufTs and
fancy buttons. All these things are
carefolly avoided by the young, moot
of whom have learned to speak Eng
lish and to affect the latest style of
clothing. The girls wear ready-made
dresses or shirt waists, and some of
them look quite pretty. Some of the
young men you would take to be
Americana of the type of clerks, but
for the fact that they wear their hats
In the room. Each of these younger
couples affects a style of Its own In
dancing. Some hold each other tight
ly, some at a cautious distance. Borne
bold their arms out stiffly, soma drop
them loosely at their rides. Some
dance aprlnglly, some glide softly,
some move with grave dignity. There
are boisterous couples, who tesr wild
ly shout ths room, knocking every one
but of their wsy. There are nervous
couples, whom these frighten, and who
.tv "N'uatok K.m rra?" at them aa
the evening—you will never see them
change about.
There le Alena Jasaltyte, for In
stance, who has danced unending hours
with Jousas Racslua, to whom she Is
engaged. Alena la the beauty of the
evening, and sha would be really beau
tlful If she were not so proud. She
wears a whit# shirt waist, which repre
ssnts, perhaps, half a week’s labor
painting cans. Sha holds her skirt with
her hand aa aha dances, with stately
precision, after the manner of the
grandee damee. Jousaa la driving one
of Durham's wagon*, and la making
big wages. He affects a “tough" as-
K t, wearing hie hat on one aide and
ping a cigarette In his mouth all
the evening. Then there Is Jadryga
Marclnkus, who hi alio beautiful, but
humble.
Jadvygs likewise paints cans, but
then ehe has an Invalid mother and
three little listers to support by It, and
so sha does not spend her wages for
shirt-walata. Jadvyga. Is small and
delicate, with Jet black eyes and hair,
the latter twisted Into a little knot and
tied on the top of her head. She wean
an old white dreaa which she has. made
herself and worn to parties for the past
five yean; It Is high-walsted—almost
under her arms, and not very becoming
—but that doe* not troubl* Jadryga,
who la dancing with her Mikolas. She
la small, whll* he la Mg and powerful;
she nestle* In hi* arm* aa If ah* would
hide herself from view, and leans her
head upon hla shoulder. He In turn
has clasped hie arms lightly around
her. as If he would carry her away;
and eo ehe dances, and will dance the
evening, and would dance forever. In
ecstasy of bli*>. You would smile, per
haps, to see them—but you would not
smile If you know all the story. Thla
la the fifth year, now, that Jadvyga
has been engaged to Mikolas, and her
heart la sick. They would have been
married In the beginning, only Mikolas
haa a father who la drunk all day, and
he le the only other man In a large
family. Even so, they might have
managed It (for Mikolas le a skilled
man) but for cruel accidents which
have almost taken the heart out of
them. He la a hssf-bonsr, and that Is
a dangerous trade, especially when you
are on piece work and trying to earn
a bride. Your hands are slippery, and
your knife Is slippery, and you are
tolling tike mad, when somebody hap-
bone. Then your hand slips up on the
blade, and there la a fearful gash.
And that would not be ao bad, only
for the deadly contagion. Tha cut may
heal, but you never can tell. Twice
las has been lying at home
poisoning—once for three months and
once for nearly seven. The last time,
too, he lost his Job, and that meant
six weeks more of standing at the
doors of the packing bouses, at' (
o'clock on bitter winter mornings, with
a foot of snow on the ground and more
In the air. There are learned people
who can tell you out of statistics that
beer-bonera make forty cents an hour,
but, perhaps, these people have never
looked Into a beef-boner's bands.
When Tamosslus and his compan
ions slop for a rest, a* perforce they
must, now and then, tbe dancers halt
where they are and wait patiently.

there Is
no place for them to elt down If they
did. It la only for a minute, anyway,
for the leader starts up again, In spite
of all the protest/ of the other two.
This time It Is another sort of a dance,
a Lithuanian dance. Those who.prefer
to, go on with the two-step, but ths
majority go through an Intricate series
of motions, resembling more fancy
akatlng than a dance. The climax of
It is a furious prestissimo, at wblch
the couples seise hands and begin a
mad whirling. Thla Is quits Irresisti
ble, and every one In ths room Joins
In, until the place becomes a mass of
flying skirts and bodies, quite dazallng
to look upon. But the sight of sights
at this moment la Tamosslus Kuos-
letka. The old fiddle squeaks and
shrieks In protest, but Tamoexlus has
no mercy. The sweat starts out on
his forehead, and he bends over like a
cyclist on the last lap of a race. His
body shakes and throbs like a runaway
steam engine, and the ear cannot fol
low the flying showers of notea—there
la a pale blue mist where you look to
■ee hla bowing arm. With a most
wonderful ruih he comes to the end of
the tune, and flings up Ms hands and
■taggers back exhausted; and with a
Anal shout of delight the dancer* fly
■prut, reeling here and there, bringing
up against the wall* of tbe room.
After this there le beer for every
one, the tniiri* Ian* Included, and the
revellers take a long breath and pre
pare for ths great avent of tha evening,
which Is- the acalavlmas. The arslm-
vlmaa la a ceremony which, once be
gun, will continue for three or four
Flours, and It Involves one uninter
rupted dance. The guests form a great
ring, locking hands, and, whan ths
music starts up. begin to move around
In a circle. In the center elands the
bride, and, one by one, tbs men step
Into the Inclosure and dance with her.
Each dances for ssveral minutes—as
long aa he pleases; It Is a vary merry
proceeding, with laughter and singing,
and when the guest ha*, flnlshedi he
And* himself face to face wllh Tots
Etableta, who holds the hat.- Into It he
drops a sum of money—a dollar, or
perhaps live dollars, according to hla
powar and hi* estlmat* of th* value of
the privilege. Th* gu**t* are expected
to pay for thla entertainment; If th*y
be proper guests, they will see that
thare la a heat sum left over for the
bride and bridegroom to atart lift
upon.
Moat fearful they are to contemplate,
the expenses of this entertainment.
They will certainly be over two hun
dred dollars, and may be three hun
dred, and three hundred dollars le more
than the Mar's Income of many a per
son In this room. Thar* are able-
bodied men here who work from early
morning until 1st* at night, In Ice-cold
cellars with a quarter of an Inch of
water on the floor—men who for elg
or seven month* In th* year never see
the sunlight from Sunday afternoon
till the next Sunday morning—and who
cannot earn three hundred dollars In n
year. There are little children here,
scarce In their teens, who can hardly
see Ih* top of th* work btnche*—who**
parent* hSV# lied to get them their
places—and who do not make the half
of three hundred dollar* a*y*ar, and
perhaps not sven ths third of It. And
then to spend such a sum, all In a
single day of your life, at a wedding
feast! (Por obviously It la the same
thing, whether yon spend It at once
for your own wedding or In a long
time at the weddings of all your
t rtendx.)
It Is very Imprudent, It Is tragic—
but, ah! It Is eo beautiful! Bit by bit
thea* poor people have given up every
thing else; but to thla they ding with
all the power of their souls—they can
not give up th* veeelljat To do that
would moan, not merely to be defeated,
but to acknowledge defeat—and th*
difference between thee* two things
Is what keep* th* world going. Th*
vesellja ha* com* down to them from
a far-off time; and th* mesnlng of It
was that on* might dwell within the
cave and gas* upon the shadow*, pro
dded only that once In hi* lifetime
uld break hi* chain- and feel
ng* and behold the *un, provided
that once In hie lifetime he might tes
tify to th* fact that life, with all Ita

thing after all, but merely a bubble
upon the surface of a river, a thing
aa • Juggler toes** his golden balls,
a thing that on* may quaff, like a gob

known himself for the master <>f
things, a man could go bark to hi*
toll and live upon tin nMMVF M fin

Endlessly the dancer* swung round
and round. When they were dlssy
they swung the other way. Hour after
