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

A ' . .
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. "Butter is . four
mobile attacted our attention.'. It was
a red cross ambulance from .the front.
"More wounded." ' Mon Disu! When
"More wounded! 'i Mon - Dieut ' When
will this thing be over?"
Last night thre was a heavy snow
storm., .The roofs and - trees were
white, just the kind of a night that
Santa Clau travels in his sleigh with
his reindeers. . Today in America
there was plenty of food for all.
Here in Sedan is Christmas and a
Santa Claus who when he got to Se
dan at all, had to go up and down the
chimneys with two 'year old toy and
no candy or nuts,', i wonder if he left
Sedan without tears; in his old eyes?
