.The .Mormon Church lookswitk disfavor on the 'familiarities of certain stylos of modorn dancing, and tho bishops' have sought to regiilatb this matter among tho young and giddier saints. At'.'Ri'danco'in Salt Lake' recently',tho bishop expressedhimself as highly displeased with round dnnoing, • Ho said; it was condemned by the priesthood, and if tho saints could not get along without tuo round dances they bad, better go home.!, The young folks remonstrated with him, but;all!td no purpose, "If you must waltz, let me show you how to doit," said ho, and ho got oifthe floor with a 183•pound blonde;' The band strtick up tho "Blue Danube," ;and away thoy slid. Down tho hall glide tlio liishop and the blonde; the tips of their Angora touch, and cruol space is .botweon them. ; This .was the church irtetliod —the priestly improved/arnfy-length wait?; Soon there was a slight contraction of the arms and tho spaco botween them gradually decreased. 'Presontlyone arm encircled the-fair form. _ The blimdo wasi tho first to.gjve way, and her check looked like a sun-flower in a turnip field asit'rested on tho shoulder of the:man of God,,'' Round ! and round tliey wont,' and' the fascinating, weird-liko strain floated like heavenly music to' nis sPul. Forgotten was 'the rounil dance dogma of tho church, and by tlio! calm smile that stole across his face,; we know that thoology ivas defeated, and oneman: at least wjas utterly, iudifferent'to, punishment,Gibtie'Dckoc'rat;"' 1 ' '"'""
