t popular are the Jig, a fast 2-4; and the Reel, a fast 6-8. The Scotch have their "Highland Fling," a fast 4-4, and there is the Hornpipe. [Music: Irish Jig] [Music: Irish Reel (Rory O'More)] [Music: Highland Fling.] [Music: Scotch Hornpipe] The Spanish dancers are particularly fond of the Waltz, played lively, and when still more increased in tempo it becomes the "Fandango," a wild and merry dance. The Tango is in 2-4, played in moderately slow tempo; its rhythm is also adapted for the Habanera. [Music: Valse Espana (Fandango) Waldteufel] [Music: Tango (Habanera)--Paul Dupont Copyright Sam Fox Cleveland O. ("Rosita" Tango Fox Trot)] The Italians have their "Tarantella." It is played very fast. It is supposed to cure the bite of the tarantula, hence the furious tempo. The Egyptian (Oriental) Dance is of a more sensuous type, either moderately fast in 2-4 or slow (in 6-8). The Soft Shoe Dance is played 4 in a bar in Schottisch tempo. [Music: TARANTELLA--BURCHENAL] [Music: Egyptian Ballet (fast movement) A.

[Music: Egyptian Ballet (slow movement)--A. LUIGINI] There are a number of very good dance albums published annually with popular dance melodies and piano arrangements. Among the best are those published by Leo Feist, Inc., Jerome H. Remick & Company, Shapiro, Bernstein & Company, Harms, Inc., and M. Witmark & Sons, all of New York. [Illustration] DIET AND DANCING [Illustration] There are three kinds of people who should use care in all that they put into their bodies in the way of food and drink: The thin, the just right, and the stouts. That seems to cover about everybody on earth, doesn't it? Well, that is just the idea. It is my way of saying that everyone, everywhere--you and I and the other folks, will be better looking and in better health and better spirits, more capable every way, if we pay attention to our diet. This treatise is intended for men as well as for women and is equally applicable to both. It is addressed to the ladies, for reasons that surely are obvious, but the rebuilding of the figure is accomplished by the same methods in both sexes. Remember this, and subs
