So , you see , to get the really beauti ful white loaf you must use PURITY hard - wheat WICIMA flour . CLUBBU FLOUR MILLS Canadian Cour Woman ' . Hou THE ART OF CLASSIC DANCING . \ HE art of Miss Isadora Duncan , who danced in Toronto last week , has been the subject of a great deal of discussion . Canadians are particu larly interested in stage and concert dancing , since one of the most famous of the world's danseuses is a Canadian - Miss Maud Allan who has been the rage of London for some time . Maud Allan has given her views about the historic , rhythmic art . She has high ideals and a few thcorics . She considers herself an apostle . So also does Miss Duncan . Both go back to the Greeks for their models . Bach considers herself the superior of the other . Which is entitled to the palm I don't know , for I have never seen Miss Allan dance . But I have seen Miss Duncan , of whom much had been said he fore she came to Canada . A New York musician assured me not long ago that Miss Duncan was queen of the art . " Oh ! In a class with Maud Allan , I suppose ? ” " Shoo ! Maud Allan is not to be mentioned in the same day - with Miss Duncan . Don't fail 10 sec her . She is to the art of the dance the whole idea of keats ' Ode to a Grecian Urn . ' ” So when Walter Damrosch brought his orciestra , with Miss Duncan as a soloist -- curious term ! -three thousand Torontonians went to see . Many said the audience would be a medley . It turned out to be very largely a musical audience . Some may have gone expecting to be scandalised . They were dis appointed . Miss Duncan did nothing that would shock the most modest Pris cilla . She danced to music ; divinely and poctically . She interpreted Gluck's Iphigenia after the manner of a master . She was the real baton of the orches tra . Attired in Grecian robes she did a variety of dances , none of which were sensitional , but all highly delightful . Indeed she was the soul and poetry of motion . The dance - well you were not so much conscious of her dancing , as of the fact that by rhythm of the 1 : oily she expressed first of all the joy of life such as may be seen in the paint ings of the Spaniard Sorolla ; second the spirit and meaning of the music , with which she was in perfect sympathy and which she must have known by heart . It was a revelation of visible music . Of course not all music can be danced to successfully - though I have vivid recollections of a man in Edmonton who on the floor of a warehouse did a tremendous jig to the playing of the Hallelujah chorus -- prestissimo ! He also was interpreting the feeling of the piece , and I don't know yet whether he was irreverent . I don't believe he was . Listen to the glorious sonorities of the Bach mass in B Minor and see if you don't feel that the marvelous interweavings and figurations of the melodic harmonies are a huge stately dance of the sounds . I believe Miss Duncan could dance Bach , and do it reverently . As to Chopin's Marche Funebre , done so wonderfully by Maud Allan , there may be some doubt . Certainly it would be a risque thing to do the Dead March in Saul ; yet the dance is at bottom almost anything you have a mind to make it . It may be sombre and solemn and religious - such as the dancing of Miriam at the Red Sea . It may be rollicking and Bacchanalian , as some of Miss Duncan's was : sprightly and clfish , as much of it was . It may be classic and stately as were the minuets of our ancestors done to Haydn and Mozart . It may be obscene and disgusting -- but then it ceases to be dance and becomes Salomic kontortions , which had their origin in the heathenries of such as " Little Egypt . " Dancing is a universal art . One thing is certain even on the basis of or dinary common sense : if women who saw Miss Duncan dance would begin to realise that a graceful carriage is so poetic and convincing , perhaps they would begin to cultivate natural grace niore than they do . Properly considered the walk is a dance ; that is it is rhythm . Most of us walk in mighty bad rhythm . We need to cultivate natural and poetic expression even in our gait . Less attention to clothes and more to the poetry of motion would make the poetry of life more obvious . There is room for vast improvement along this line . Many of our women who should embody the rhythm of life in walk and in carriage , move as though they were sawing wood or sparring in a prize ring . This of course may not be truly musical in subject . Yet at the root all the arts are one . The dance has been neglected . It has been relegated to foolish modern notions that to dance makes you frivolous . Certainly it is not neces sary in dancing to have sex considerations . Dancing is absolute . It is not sexual but natural . But of course almost anything may be done with it . Another practical point about Miss Duncan's art is that her feet are by no means petit . She has good , honestly large feet which she does not crims and coddle and high - heel , but uses in freedom in the most natural way and with marvelous artistic ease . CANADA Our Combin Purity .
