But it is made far more difficult for the ordinary person, by the incessant changes in dance steps. Up to the time the tango spread over the country eight or ten years ago, dancing was fairly well standardized. Anyone who did it the year before, could do it the next year, and a great many of the middle aged people enjoyed it. Then came the de- velopment of modern dancing, with thousands of dancing classes teaching a bewildering variety of new steps. craze Just as soon as the crowd had learn- ed one new figure, then it went out of style and some new ones had to be acquired. This made business fine for the dancing teachers but it spoiled sport for all who could not afford time and money to follow these whims of the popular taste. Dancing of recent years has seen some absurd extremes. There was the snake-like and wriggling "shim- my", which could no more be called the poetry of motion than the con- tortions of the boneless man in the circus tent. On the opposite extreme, the fox trotting of the present day seems about like walking around the hall. But while those freaks and foibles come and go, the old standard waltz that our grandmothers loved still remains the favorite of those who dance for the sake of rhythm more than to exhibit their ability to copy the latest freak.

The same paper quotes Dr. Elinor Van Buskirk of New York as follows: "The woman who wears a cramped shoe is bound to have a cramped dis- position. She can't help being irritable, critical and quick tempered. She doesn't make a good pal, a good wife or a good business woman. "I would be willing to wager that half the so-called lovers' quarrelssare from the girl wearing tight shoes. And as to the nagging wife--well, it is usually the tight shoe which causes her quick, ugly remarks. And many a business girl thinks she has the mean- est boss on earth when it's her own stinging, burning feet she hates. "Besides the irritable disposition which tight shoes cause, there may be physical injury. A high heel throws the balance of the body forward and the strain comes on the lower part of the spinal column, a great center of the nerves. Backaches, 'headaches, even rheumatism and scatica, are of- ten caused by shoes. A woman can wear any kind of tight clothing and forget it," concluded Dr. Van Buskirk, "but she can't wear tight shoes and }] keep smiling. 9.02000000; No wonder that so many women find the friendly Cantilever Shoe a source of happiness.
