Lack of variety has dona as much as

Smoothness of action, without swaying

the precept to remember well In the for
ward and back first fleure of my stand
ardized one-step and the side-glide.
Smoothness of action can come only by
dancing on the ball ot the foot (not the
entire flat of tne foot. Including the heel).
I believe the one-step can be made a
dance of genuine beauty by slight
changes and the Introduction of some
semi-fancy figures. In this article I shall
explain the polka-varlatlon. Please look
carefully at the Illustration on this page.
It shows me and it. Clustine on the "one"

her right foot, which Is drawn up along
side her left and the cavalier finishes on

In "closed" position the dancers, though
having used their right and left feet,
respectively, for their trial steps, are
actually supporting their weights on thd
opposite feet. Therefore, moving to the

direction from which they have come,
the lady turning on the ball of her left
foot to her right, the cavalier turning on
the hall of his right fbot to his left.
As they make the turn, which Is one
quarter of a circle, the dancers bend
slightly forward from the Bhoulders, ex
tend their right ana left arms before
them a little below shoulder height and
extend the feet upon which they are to
take their first steps.
The complete polka variation figure in
tho one-step as I have standardized It Is
four counts forward and four backward,
the dancers keeping tho approximately
relative attitudes shown In the Illustra
tion, but the dancers Instead of sliding
the feet lift the knees and take the step
on the ball of each foot.
The lady takes her first forward step
on her right foot on the "one" count,
follows on count "two" with her left
nnd uses the right and left for the
"third" and "fourth" counts. On count
"Ave" she starts backward, taking a
short step on the right foot and holding
her attitude as nearly as possible like
that maintained moving forward. Counts
"six," "seven" and "eight," nre alter
nately on the left, right nnd left feet
and moving backward.
There Is no difference tn the steps or
comparative attitude of the cavalier
from that of his lady. Hb begins merely

$100,000 LOSS, SIX
FIREMEN INJURED
IN HARRISBURG FIRE
Thousands of Inauguration
Visitors Watch Spectacu
lar Blaze in Market Square
Department Store.
HAnntflnunO, Jan. H.-Ab tho result
of a spectacular fire that rnged from 11
o'clock last night until 3 '30 this morning.
Kaufman's department storo on Market
Square, Is In rdlns, with n loss of 100,000.
The 8. H. Pomoroy grocery store and the
Solomon Kuhn Carpet Company's shop,
adjoining, wero badly damaged by fire
nd wntor. Six Injured firemen are In the
hospital.
The flro started In the basement of the
department store and galnod hoadviay
because tho firo alarm system failed to
work. The firemen fought In a downpour
of rain and In streets thronged with
thousands of Inauguration visitors. The
Kaufman store, which Is n total loss,
wilt bo rebuilt nt onco.
Tho Injured flromcn are! William
Smith, Hnrry Corkle, Samuel DIoncr,
Ilnrry Cndors, Wayne Desllney nnd Joe
O'Lcary. Policeman Qeorgo Shoemaker
also was slightly Injured. All will re
cover. For a time tho flro threatened the en
tire business block on South Market
Square nnd residents hurriedly packed
omco furniture nnd household nrtlclos
to be carried to places of safety. Alex
ander Roberts, an nged member of one
of Harrlsburg's oldest families, who has
resided on Market square ror moro man
CO years, was roused from his bed by
firemen, but refused to leave his homo
until all of his family portratis naa ucen
removed
The defects In the fire-alarm system
developed nfter tho first alarm. An
"under control" slgnnl was sent In nnd
kept some of tho companies from re
sponding. The firemen were hindered In
their work by tho dense smoke and n
brisk wind, but wero aided by the heavy
rainfall.
Tho city was full of Inauguration visit
ors when the fire began, clubs were
parading tho streets, bands were playing
end the theatres were Just leaving out.
Market Square was Jammed to over
flowing nnd the throngs wero beyond the
control of tho police, who were unable
to throw out the usual lire lines.
Many Philadelphia clubmen donned
their rubber coats nnd assisted tho fire
men. The flames wero under control by 3.30
o'clock this morning, but broke out
afresh early today In the Pomeroy gro
cery, the basement of which was used
as a storage warehouse. Mr. Pomeroy
places his loss conservatively at $10,000,
fully covered by Insurance.
Tho Kuhn loss also Is covered by Insur
ance, but David Kaufman, proprietor of
11m ttonarlmAnt fnr. will lOflft henvllv.
This Is the second time this store has
been burned out. Mr. Kaufman said to
day he will rebuild at once.

N THE same period 17,812
women wrote to The Journal
about millinery and the arrange

Every one of these 66,679 let

Journal editor. For example, in
many cases a reader sends in a sam

new dress. The Home Dressmak

the department stores of New York
or Philadelphia, selects just the
right trimming for that dress, then
writes to tell the woman where she
can get it and how to put it on.
How to mak6 over last years
