Woman's Waltzing Ways.

A JJm-in-Bay correspondent of the Cm* cinnati • .gftftft furnisheay the' Jollowin;? lively description" of the style m which girte from different States and localities waltz, as shown by the bops at that plea» sant resort:—« People may say that a waltz is a wait?, but it is a mistake, as much as to say that a dog is a dog, for there are dogs ahd dogs, and there are waits* and waltzes. With one person it is the poetry.of motion; with another it is about as awkward a performance as putting yourself upon a level and going through the motion of running up»stair* would be. A Kentucky girl is a natural waltser, and she does it with a charming chic and abandon. An Ohio girl's waits i 3 easy, graceful, and «melodious.' If she happens to come from Cincinnati, and across the Rhine, she swings dreamily round and round in the endless «Dutch waltt'. If she comes from Chicago, she throws her hair back, jumps and cracks her heels together, and carried off her astonished partner as though a simoon had struck him, and knocks over all inttrven* ing obstacles in her mad career around the room. If she is from Indiana, Bhe creepß closely and timidly up to her partner, as though she would like to get into his vest pocket, and melts away with ecstasy, aa the witchihg strains of the ' Blue Danubo' sweep through the hall. If she is from Missouri, she crooks her body in the middie like a door-hinge, takes her partner by the shoulders, and makes him miserable in trying to hop around her without treading on her No. 9 shoes. If she oomea from Michigan, she astonishes her partnpr by now and then working i n a touch of the double slmffla or a bit of pigeon wing, with the waltz step; and if she comes from Arkansas, she throws both arms round his neck, rolls up her eves as she floats away, and is heard to mmmiir, 'Oh, hii* me.' John!"' ° '
