SERVICE.
Ve know not how we came to he
Cast for the work that we are doing;
Why one should sail the stormy sea
And one the farmer’s horse be shoe
ing:
Why one should paint and one should
write,
Why one seems dull another smart;
We only know 7 , both day and night
That each of us must play his part.
He serves this world who digs the
ditch
As much as he who writes the
novels;
Life leans no more upon the rich;
Than on the men who dwell in
hovels.
God only knows who meets the test;
On earth it’s but a part we play,
And with it each must do his best.
—Edgar A. Guest, Detroit Free

DANCING TO CONTINUE
ON HIGHER PLANE.
That the new dances are becoming
less and less popular, and that there
will be a return to the waltz and two
stepjs the idea set forth in the current
issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the follow
ing extract from which will be of in
terest :
“Eccentric dancing in which society
and its imitators have been indulging
for the past two years is on the wane
and the dear old German round dance,
the waltz, that was brought to the
courts of France and England by Na
poleon's officers, is coming to its own
again. The truth of the matter is we
American delight to play with crude
and bizarre for a while, but we soon
tire of the gauche. The turkey trot
and various other atrocities were not
difficult to master, and the "wisf
ones’’ ware quick to take advantage of
the fickle public’s desire for new sen
sations. Fantastic representations of
these dances were performed on the
stage. Then society tried them after
being “instructed’’ by so-called artists,
other “masters of the art” invented
dances, which they called the tango
and the maxixe, and established them
selves in luxurious quarters to simu
late smartness and to entice “society”
to part with its coin and pourboire for
extra attention. And real society is
still supposed to patronize these estab
lishments, though it does not appear
on the dancing floor. As the public
goes to these places only In the hope
of dancing with the elect, its wrath
tray be Imagined when the truth leaks
out, for the Inner circles have “folded
their tents like the Arabas“ and stolen
away to enjoy themselves elsewhere
under the Instruction of those of their
own class.
"Society has wearied of the public
ity, of the professional who knows
nothing of the code nor dancing as a
fine art. They have played with the
novelties and have discarded them as
primitive and groteeque. Society now
prefer* that which has dignity and
c rajft.
"Don’t misunderstand me. dancing
is a poyular as ever, but it will be
continued on a much higher plane. The
waltz has resumed Its time-honored
place as the most desirable of round
dances. It will be eubject to Innova
tions. but they will be waltz move
ments, shorter or longer glissades with
a return to the one-step Viennese
glide, the one-step In Its more moder
ate and gfliceful movements will sur
vive. but the "hesitation” will he for
gotten together with the exaggerated
•"ovements which come from the
slums of the Latin countries. This Is
the actual condition existing today
within the Inner circlee of society, not
withstanding the lurid advertisements
and reports in the dally papers.
"The difficult steps and figures as
developed by the professional and ex
emplified by pavlowa will be studied
under competent teachers for rythm,
poise and perfection of movement, as
as essential part of social dancing.'
