Search for Novelty to Mark Coronation

By PHYLLIS M. DAVIES

YANCING days are here

-again.

You

The coming of winter means busy. times in the dancing schools and in the Telting of West End ballrooms— and it marks the end of the "sinck season" for dance musicians.

This arson is going to be bigger than for years, for it leads up to the festivitles of Coronation year. And. as an eminent teacher of dancing re- marked to me, "When people rejoice, they dance!"

So the office of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, in New Oxford-street, is now il scene of great activity. Hundreds of let- ters are arriving every day, hun- dreds of dance teachers are calling

to inquire what are to be the big features of the dancing world for the

next seven or eight months.

And the answer? the waltz,

the quickstep, and the tango.

FATE OF THOSE WHO ESCAPE Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, Oct. 15. Abolition of Devil's Island and other notorious penal settlements in French Guiana, proposed by the Popular Front

of France, will mean the end of the unpopular but necessary open boat method of deporting e5- caped prisoners who land in Trinidad.

Towing the refugees to sea and setting them adrift in a small rowboat and expecting them to find their way to some

other haven never has been popular here.

be dancing some entirely new steps

and rhythms by the time Coronation year arrives:

"Somebody is bound to be work- ing out a new idea of some kind to mark the occasion. It absolute- ly cries out for a 'Coronation Dance," He said.

Ballroom dancing may not seem to have changed markedly in recent seasons—but the dance teachers that it has. Although the know waltz (a modernised version of the Viennese waltz) is to be the present season's big feature, many other in- fluences have crept in, mainly from the ilims.

"A lot of inspiration for ballroom dancing is to be found in the great musical flms," said Major Taylor.

"Dance leachers are great enthusi- asts over the work of Miss Ginger Rogers and Mr. Fred Astnire, and they went crazy about Miss Eleanor Powell in Broadway Melody of

BIRD REFUSES

RIGHT-OF-WAY

TO U. S. MAILS Oregon City, Oct. 20. After two years of disappoint- ment, a patient blusbird finally has succeeded in hatching a brood in a galvanized iron mailbox at the Ernest Brosig farm, Scotts Mills.

When the bird frat built her nest in the box, the owners removed it. This year the bird built another neat there. The farmer transferrat the nest to a decorative birdhouse set up adjacent to the mail container. Not to be discouraged, the bird constructed another nest in the deepest corner of the mailbox, sat down and filled it with, eggs,

The postman called every day, thrusting letters and papers into the box, but the bird stuck with the job and hatched out five tiny blucbirds.
