Mrs. Harriet Johnston Wood, a prac- ticing lawyer of New York city, seeking appointment as judge in the children’s court. Mrs. Wood said: “There is a movement Inaugurated by the clubwomen of New York city to have a law passed ing the appointment of women manda tory in this court. “Me understanding of children is in stinctive with women, and such knowl edge as they are not born acquire through experience. What ma ©an compare his judgment af fecting the welfare of a child with that of a woman?" According to the court of spe year 1012, ed with juvenile raigned in the children’s courts Jority were boys. further that most of the girls were brought before the court during that period were from fourteen to six teen years of age. mak- in a case the ial annual report of for the 13422 children were charg deling and the special proceedings Of these The report sessions ar in the ma 1IeNCY shows who Horse Trot and Fish Walk Now, Vale the turkey trot and the tango Boclety is a-weary of these much dis cussed dances, and, having lost favor, the trot and the tango are on the road to the realm of the forgotten. The “horse trot” and the still newer “fish walk” are the prime favorites of the present moment, and earnest seek ers after the latest approved are putting themselves through Ix paces. Both dar originated Washington, h trot more t! a year ago and the fish the last few months The horse trot is a liveller dance t! elther the tango or the turkey trot a: is entirely il of the character tics which brought upon the two « time favorites the thunders of the « &y and the nondancing laity. In th newest trot the partners face other and the man hand n the center of his partons § back, ling her at arm's length at one side He looks over her rig shoulder and she directs her gaze over his right shoulder The dane with a running step of eight count the man going forward. The dancers then proceed to trot back eight steps the woman advancing, after which al ternately they trot eight steps to the right and eight to the left before the sidestep sixteen counts, turning to the right for eight counts and to the left for eight. A trot forward and back for eight counts each before coming to a balance step of sixteen counts completes the dance. The horse trot and fish walk are pri marily dances for young men and women. They are dashed at a lively tempo in two-four measure, and fat ty degeneration of the heart or an im paired breathing apparatus is entire ly out of place when the new dance tunes start The fish walk, the In tricacles of which are now engaging the energies of dancing at the nation al capital, starts with a skipping step the man going forward sixteen counts and retreating sixteen counts. The partners then take four sliding steps to the right and four to the left to com pete the dances, The fish walk is danced entirely on the toes, the body 1s moved only from the waist downward, the head 1s held high, and the tempo Is pitched at Mvely galt. The music runs along to a straight simple tune, gay and cheers with little of the syncopation whic! has distinguished the dance music of the last few years, novelty ith 1ICes8 the horse walk wit} devo places his rig) hold e start A Good Idea.

Argonaut A Foe to “Baby Talk» It is not enough that a word spoken. It makes a great deal of dif ference bow It Is spoken. The proper vocalization of words has an effect upon children which is often, one may say generally, overlooked. Almost ev erybody is fond of repeating the baby's efforts to talk, and baby talk lingers in many homes, an innocent but costly pleasure for the parents and the children allke There are many persons of mature age at this moment who will never pronounce certain words properly since they be eame accustomed to a false pronuncia tion in childhood because somebody thought it was cute. There are mans persons who will never get over cer tain false associations of Ideas be cause somebody thought it was very amusing and funny to see the child mixing up things in such a beautiful childlike way.—Dr. A.
