THE REVIVAL OF THE OLD DANCES.
BY MADLY WEAL
Harke, harke, I hear the dancing And a nimble Morris prancing; The bagpipe and the Morris bellv That they are not farre hence us tells; Come, let us go thither, And dance like friends together.
-Madrigal, 1680.
Soven years ago the bagpipe and the Morris bells were but an echo from the past; for very few people knew that no possessed a traditional dance of our own, and fewer still knew that it was still danced on certain days of festival in several villages and country towns.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8mm, 1913,
served not only ite merry prancing and its vigorous rhythm, but it has also a cor- tain naïveté and seriousness which aro not altogether accounted for by the fact that its exponents are for the most part peasants making a difficult living in the fast emptying villages of modern days.
THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT.
days of Queen Elizabeth it had lost most By the time the dance had reached the of its religious significance, and it is well to remember that even in its earliest days the religion which it embodied was not exactly that of respectable church-and chapel-going folk, but it had become the recognised expression of the holiday spirit of the simple-minded country folk, and as such it is with us to-day.
And it is in this spirit that I want to see it passed on. For seven years I have done little else but work for this object, but the very success which has rosulted
To-day, north, south, cast, and west, on village greens, in the recreation-rooms of cinbs and factories, in schools and play-brings its dangers. There will always be grounds, English lads and girls are danc ing the merry Morris once again,
And I do not despair that one of these days some busy journalist will hear in Fleet-streot a sound quite usual as lato as the seventeenth century.
In Plete-strete then I heard a shooto;

In 1886 Mr. D'Arev Ferrers made gallant attempt to revive the old revels near Stratford-on-Avon, but the revival was short-lived. So was another attempt made about 1894 by Mr. Percy Manning at Headington, once very famous for its dancers,
who performed down "the High
on Whit-Monday. Soven years ago I went to Headington and invited the son and nephew of one of the traditional "side" of dancers to come to London to teach the dances
a com-
pany of working girls who had already learnt the Scotch and Irish national dances. This turned out to be an historic occasion, for it was then, in the homo of the Esperance Club, that this joyous re- vival of our folk dance had its first begin. ning.
DESCENDANTS OF THE MORRIS MEN.
It is said that there is no third genera- tion of Londoners, and watching week by week these girls and lads--for the girls soon taught their mer friends and brought then to dance, too—it is not diff- cult
those who see in it more of academic in- terest than of living joy; those who, how- ever well they may know that the tradi- tional dance, as the traditional song, is an ever-evolving, ever-growing thing, yet seek to confine it in a set techriquo and deny it at the present day its former power of growth.
I think that But because in some quite unconscious way the folk-dance rhythm of England expressen the deepest race instincts of the English, und because its first revival was in the hands of the folk themselves, that any turning aside into academic and pedantic ways is only a temporary phase.
SYNTHETIC RUBBER.
THE COST OF PRODUCTION.
In the course of a paper read recently before the Royal Society of Arts Dr. F. Mollvo Perkin, whose researches into the question of synthetic rubber are well- known, discussed the question whether synthetic rubber would be able to compete commercially with natural rubber, and if it were placed on the market is large quantities what would be the effect on prices. In the present state of supply and demand he expressed the opiaion that the two might exist side by side without
y acute competition.

Dr. Perkin then explained the difficul ties which had to be overcome in dealing with the initial proposition of such a subject as the manufacture of synthetic rubber, and to illustrate this point drew attention to the process of the Synthetic Products Company.
Whether the chemist would be able to oust the rubber tree was still uncertain, but Dr. Perkin reminded the rubber planters of the fate which had befallen the growers of madder and of indigo. In each case they had been well warned by chemists of the coming of synthetic pro- ducts which would kill their industries, and in each case, when the blow fell, they complained of a bolt from the blue."
To-day our traditional dance is sane tioned by the Board of Education part of the physical education of the children, but until after that sunction these girls were the only teachers available for passing on the dances to others. Since that evening seven years ago I have had some twenty country dancers up to London from Headington, Abingdon, Bampton, Od. dington, Yorkshire, Lancashire, North- amptonhire, and other places, and all have made some addition to our know ledge of the folk dances. By learning them in this way directly from the tradi tional source, untouched by the profes sional teacher or the pedantic anti quarian, we have kept the true spirit of the ancient dance, and so when those boys

In this country, although the research chemists were not able to com- mand so huge a sum to work with, they would not be behindhand, and in the friendly competition of science they would go forward hand in hand.

A TRADITIONAL DANCER.
A little sketch of one of these tradi. liarul dancers will, I think, give a better idea than anything else of the character of these dancers. first heard of him at a village sing-song where I was asked if I had heard of a family who had danced the Morris for many a generation back.

How to SORE Avoid THROAT
This is one of the worst months in the year as regards the risk of catching Sore Throat.
This painful malady is caused by germs-invisible atoms
of plant life-which we inhale from the air.
The warmth and moisture of the mouth cavity, with its wrinkled surfaces containing residues of food, form' ideal con- ditions for the growth of these germs, which inflame, and irritate the lining of the throat.
A few Formamint Tablets, sucked like sweets, entirely rid the mouth cavity of germ growths, and thus cure Sore Throat in the shortest possible time.
Formamint
THE GERM-KILLING THROAT TABLET
Signor Caruso, the world-famous fenor, writes:-'I have found Walling's Formamint Tablets very beneficial to the throat, and pleasant to the taste."
over
Although Formamint Tablets are pleasantly flavoured and quite harmless, they contain a powerful antiseptic which goes thoronghig the lining of the mouth and throat, and is absolutely fatal to germ life. Therefore, they not only cure a and prevent Sore Throat, Tonsillitis, and mouth troubles, but offer safe protection against grave
infectious diseases like Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Measles, etc.
These claims are thoroughly en. dorsed by the Medical Profession; there are thousands of testimonials written in the same strain as the two quoted above; and amongst
A Physician writes in the "Practi- tioner," December, 1907- "I have never had Sore Throat myself since I began to use Walfing's Formamint, al- though I suffered periodically before."
the most prominent users of Forma mint are such celebrated people as Queen Alexandra's confidential sec. retary, the Hon. Charlotte Knolly the ex-Prime Minister of Great Iritain, the Rt. Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, M.P.; Lord Kingsale; Lord Justice Buckley; Sir Gilbert Parker, M.P.; the Archdeacon of Bristol, and the Dowager Countess of Wicklow, etc. Harmful and
and worthless tablets with with names very similar to Formu mint, are frequently offered for sale. Refuse these firmly, and insist on Walfing's Fomamint, which is sold at all Chemists in bottles of 50 tablets, -

CICELY RUBBER SCHEME NEGATIVED.
Presiding recently at an extra- crdinary general meeting of the Cicely Rubber Estates, Dr. S. Riden), in moving resolution to increase the noininal capital from £10,000 to £95,000, said that the directors had under consideration the purchase of additional land in order to

considerable objection was taken to the A long discussion followed, in which resolution. Mr. Kershaw questioned the wisdom of borrowing money on which they would have to pay 200 per cent, in dividends that being about the present rate of distribution when they could afford to take the necessary money from revenue without feeling it. He thought that an issue of debentures would be better. Eventually, an amendment to the effect that the capital should not be increased was carried.
