Why old' people as well as young snould learn to dance is ehown by a iTrt.v-vear-old tanso 1 expert in the January Woman's Home Companion. He says: 1 "I am telling this story for the pur pose of proving two things, first, that ft is not very difficult for a man or a woman of sixty who never lias danced to learn all the new steps in a few weeks and to be able to present a passable appearance on the floor. Second, that dancing in moderation is not only not dangerous to. the well being of the average person of three score but is of real benefit. "When the new dances come in a few years ago, and 1 saw in city res taurants and other public places old men-doing the tango with young wom en, I had but one word of comment, and that was, 'Silly I' But mark my change of heart! A friend of mine named White, two years older than myself, came to tour house one even ing about six months ago to attend a little family party. White said he had taken up dancing and was renew ing his youth. I laughed at him for a senile old dolt who had lost all idea of the dignity that belonged to schools taught he same steps, but for tunately we happened to enter te 'danse' place only a few days after a convention of leading Instructors at which H wa agreed to standardise all the new dances.' So we got alonff fa mously, while we were there. Since then, however, those same dances have been standardised a dosen times, with the benevolent purpose, as it seems to us, of keeping dancers guessing, and gomg to the schools to learn more steps and more change i "White told us durmg our, mxuBK"i ''"Sama tv all of a sudden you mill fnvn-a Mmr tm) fb.d votorself cutting loose as if you had wings, ana tripping eoout ' S tnougn you-wero flying.',.. . , ' "It was quite a while before that day arrived-but it came.!' , , c -v -,,f.'3 u ' n' y" It Was Poor Christmas in Sedan.

No wonder the little hoys ano gins of Sedan are anxious for peace,, bo Cnnto rnmia can nrinir tnem once more all the little things he brings boys and gMs from toyland and suwrland at Christmas time. I talked to the mother of .two'. little boys, who is running the1 toy shop her husband owned before he went to waj'. She had toys and dolls in the window and on the shelves, but less than' one tenth of what she had jn peace time; The little doll dreBses were out of otvio. Th hats the ladv dolls wore, were of the Paris 1913. mode and not At nil what Paris ladies wear today. Thn tov automobiles were 1912 models. "Do you known when the war will end?" she asked. She might have cried, but days and nights of crying for months after the war started had used up all her tears. "I have nothing aeainst the Germans," she continued. "They have been good to me T ever since' they have been here. I can go to bed every night with my front door unlocked and know that nothing will happen to harm me. I don't care who wins this war. Of course, I love my country, but what is my conntry to me with my husband gone, my family broken up, my babies witn a unrist maa not knowing whether their father is dead or alive.' My family is my country," she said in the dramatic manner of Frenchwomen. ' Her next statement was most sur prising: "If you are an American I haven't the least regard for you. America is making this war longer and more hor rible. Every day America makes it harder for me to live. American shells Mon Dieul More shells! I'm sick and tired of it nil. Won't we ever have peace?" , I asked her if the American Relief Committee had not sent food to the people. "Have you seen our grocer ies?" she asked.
