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.

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.'
