The muscles of the legs must bo supple and undeveloped to bear the strain of the teachIng otherwise I would take years to undo what nature had already fin- shed I In tIme way of growth. So a rebellion arose In the mind of one dover woman , bringing her to the decIsIon that she would begIn a chool ot her own. She learned from an ordinary dancing master coma grace- ful character steps , put on long skirts , for she was slendorly formed draped her hlouse up to her collar bone fashioned long angel sleeves that gave her hands something to do . and the theater was respectably fled when she was advertised. ' ' Before ho bad danced a week.

Another artist In the profession devised L the seductive play of colored lights on the L rapidly moving danseuse and then the "skirt : dance" was the accepted American produc- ( ton. "To what did studies , expense your put you ? " I asked Miss St. Tel. "Sixty dollars for twenty lessons Is the I usual price. I took two lessons a week for a I year before I went on the stage and that t amounted to $350. " "And about that practice . ? " I asked. "I m It very fatiguing ?

One explanation for the soreness Is that many women adopt skirt dancing lB a livelihood after their twenty-fifth birthday .
