Passage on Red ( Cont ) C NY Times 7 Oct22 1899 23 : 1 selves , and do not seem to care what the children are doing or whether they have enougir dancers to make up the sets or not . The families of the Germanis and Jews are much more interested , apparently , in the amusements of their children , and come . and dance with them . in the house of a wealthy banker I have even seen the grand parents dancing with the children . The children are pleased and interested , though they notice that the dancing of their eiders is not quite modern , and one of them will say , quietly , to me : * They don't dance as we do , do they ?! + e tine . how roan any one odds a pret Weal upon And how they feel at the time try to par Thor try two or kameru plek up the Ideas wonder . pl1x ng ibaven for two or three lessons imore they will not do anything and I feel dincourrged that I am taking their monar lor nothing .
