H. Skilled workman shin soon will be furnished oh ap plication by the emergency employ ment office of the Chicago Woman's club. This is the opinion of the club women who are working on the proD lems of the unemployed women who dailv besiege the bureau and whose inability to do any but unskilled work "The loving and pyramid steps in the maxlxe as posed for Thei Journal by Professor and; Mrs M. M. Rlngler. Although the maxixe has an almost unpronouncable name,. 'it is not a Dlt a formidable as it sounds. Really, to be quite frank, the maxixe Is based on the plain old two-step and "of course "everybody knows how to two-step. And so to come right back i with a neat bit of repartee, why shouldn't everybody know hw to maxixe? , " Honestly, it is quite simple., The maxixe is one of the' most graceful of modern dances and owes its popularity to the variety of move-1 niehts or figures which go to make it up. it is danced a little slower than the old twote'p, the. feet swinging: as in the parent dance, but the body and aims and hands being put to a mul titude of graceful and novel poaitionB. ' It is danced to music of Spanish or Kouth American character, airs full of : dramatic ' surprise which permit the dancers to go through the fasciaiating series of eight figures which make up the maxixe as properly danced. Says G. Hepburn Wilson, a recog nized authority on the modern dante, of the maxixe figures. "It is exceed ingly important that there be no pauses in changing from one figure to the other. "The . dance is akin to the fok dance, or program dance, and there is continual motion without any pauses until the end of the dance." Two outstanding characteristics of the n.axixe lay in the fact that tht woman partner frequently is to jc found in the several figures with he) back to the- man and that in all fiS ures in which the partners face each other the correct position forTthe handa is with the palms of the one lying flat against the palms of the other. These are only little things to be sure, but they serve to show how the element of variety has been injected into the old fashioned dance. To appreciate the maxixe one must know it. It is a pleasurable dance to watch; the music of the maxixe is de lightful to listen to; but the charm of ; it an is in tiie dancing. Inasmuch as 10 dancing lessons don't grow on1 every bush, a way has been evolved to learn the modern dances at a trifling expense through the medium of the graphophone. The plan is fully described in section four jf today's Journal. g ; , society notes; (Continued from Preceding Page.) gar A. Fry, Captain and Mrs. Lucius C. Bennett, Captain and Mrs. Charles T.
