HACK TO TIIK WALTZ When yon daneo, I wish jou A wave o' the (tin. that ou might over do Nothing but that. . , -Shakespeare. EVENT ever produced so rent a sensation," wroto a nom as ItulUos In Ills "I'eisonnl Iturolloi tloii"," "us tho Introduction of the tier man waltz. Old and .toting returned to school, and the inoinliigH were now absorbed at homo In whit ling a ehnlr around the room to learn the step and measure of the (Jenniin wall. The nntl-wnltsing party look alarm, cried H down; mothers forbade It, and every ballroom became a scene of feud and contention." Such was the attitude toward the new dunce when It was new some hundred and twenty-five cars ago. True the waltz Is not so much of a favorite at a popular dance as Is the one-step or fox trot, but jou will llnd that those who are able to dance It well really prefer It to the other dances. Of course we do regard It as a rather tame affair after all the other modern dances, but the time was once, as Thomas Ralkes suggests, when It was regarded as quite bb shocking as wc regarded uny of the new-fangled trots when they camo out. In fact, Goethe makes Werner say that If ho were married his wife should waltz with no one hut him self. And there were lather old fashioned folk a generation ngo who, though they would two-step and polka with others after tlioy were engaged, would waltz only with the one to whom they wore betrothed. Now we have no such sentimental notions. We prefer usuully to dance with the Iiersons with whom we are best able to go through the stepi. Lads dance with their own grandmothers and are glad enough to do so If those grand mothers dance well. O ( by McClura Nwippr Syndicate.) Waiting Hr Turn.

"lie did, my dear, and the ory vest la In that drawer the bottom one. look at It, If you like." Hetty was looking at the big bed. "How over am I to get up there?" she asked. Her nose was on a level with the billowy height. Tor answer Aunt Polly drew a email, two-stepped ladder from under the frilly ruflles of the bed. "Good-night, dear," said Aunt Polly. 1Jo sure jou pull Hint silk quilt our you. I hope you sleep well." "How can I help sleeping In this wonderful roomful of old-fashioned tilings?" replied Betty. First, sho peekPd at the wonderful satin vest, then sho opened tho folded quilt and looked long at tho hits of silks. "Oh, you wonderful old-fashioned things!" hIio said aloud. "How beautiful you arel" ', "Old-fashioned. Indeed !" said u ' olcu near Betty's ear, and she felt a tug and heard a rustling sound, which turned her completely over, sho was so astonished. Tho silk quilt seemed to ha0 lifted from the bed, and all the bits of gayly llouotod silks and the plain ones as well were old-fashioned gowns the styles were In tin dnjs of hnopsklrts. One (lowered silk gown that seemed to ho more tiiNtucratlc than the oth ers was rustling with Indignation. "To think I am called old-fashioned when I was drought over from France for my lady to wear at the big ball I I am the latest stjle from abroad." "Was, my dear was," said a shim mering gown of slher and blue that ehnngetl as It mated and the candle light foil upon It.

The soft, silvery !!!!( dtess tried to smooth matters r.er, "Why should wo got angry because wo nte called old-fashioned?" It s.ild. "You weie ory beautiful that night of the big ball, and jour llowor aio as htlght as tho nliit jou danced the minuet." This seemed to calm tho llowered dress, and It sighed as It said: "Oh, that was a wonderful dance t I wonder what became of tho spinet that made such wondeiful music that night?" "Heio," was tho reply which spomod to come from tho fool of the hod. "I'm hero, friends, hut atlly changed. I am really new-fashioned not the beautiful spinet of the old days, but made Into a new anil shining desk. Ah, that I, too, might bo called old fashioned with the rest of you!" Betty saw all the gowns hurry to tho footboard nnd look over. "What Is the matter with you?" they asked. "You hao lost " "Yes," Interrupted the spinet desk, "I have lost mv soul tho things that made mo beautiful and no longer can I nuiko sweet music. I must bo for ever silent." Hetty laughed light out loud, It looked so funny, and then to her sur prise sho saw the sun peeking In through the shutters. Sho sat up and rubbed her ojes. Tho black border of the beautiful silk quilt was on the tloor at one side of the bed. Sho pulled It up and laughed at her dream and Just then a tap sounded on tho door and Aunt Polly's smiling faco jiippeared tpBettj's "Come In." Iffl'by McCluie Nrwipapcr Syndicate.) C. E.
