clasp ends of wand with both hands and rotate forearms through remaining thirteen counts.

2. Wand reversed front of waist, sixteen counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first count carry wand horizontally with both hands from preceding position back of waist over head and down in front of waist; on second and third counts change hand positions, bringing them within twelve inches of each other on the wand; on fourth count reverse wand by placing right forearm along and over left forearm; on fifth count reverse wand by placing left forearm along and over right forearm. Repeat thus through remaining sixteen counts.

3. Wand horizontal overhead, with lateral lunge, twenty-four counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first count carry wand to horizontal overhead and toward right, at same time lunge to right twice length of foot; on second count return to position, wand resting in horizontal position back of neck. Repeat through eight counts; same to left, eight counts; same alternating right and left, eight counts.

4. Wand horizontal at shoulder blades, with arm-extension downward, sixteen counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first count carry wand, with right hand only, backward to and horizontal with shoulder blades; on second count grasp wand with left hand, back of hands facing front, thrust downward through remaining sixteen counts.

5. Wand horizontal front and to chest, sixteen counts. EXPLANATION.-On first count carry right hand from its preceding position at shoulder blades to end of wand, changing hand position so that palm faces front; on second count similarly change left hand position; on third count carry wand horizontally overhead, extending it at arm's length in front of chest; on fourth count, with hands as far apart as arms are at shoulders, bring wand

horizontally inward to chest, elbows down close to side. Repeat through remaining counts.

Wand down.

6. Wand overhead, with lateral trunk bending and rotation, thirty-two counts.

Repeat the exercise through eight counts, then do same reversely sixteen counts.

7. Wand with arm extension forward and balance movement, sixteen counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first count carry wand at arms' length to horizontal front, at same time place right foot twice its length forward, with line of gravity in right foot; on second count sway line of gravity into backward limb and bring wand horizontally to chest, sway forward and backward thus through eight counts with a motion of body and arms somewhat like that used in rowing; then place left foot forward and repeat exercise through eight counts. 8. Wand perpendicular with balance movement and head turn, sixteen counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first count with hands at ends of wand, place the latter horizontally at shoulder blades; on second count advance right foot twice its length toward oblique-right and bend trunk slightly in right hip, with head turned backward looking downward over right shoulder. Repeat through eight counts. Same reversely, eight counts.

Stride position, wand down.

9. Wand perpendicular with right and left pivot, eight

counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first two counts, pivot on balls of feet, facing toward right, at same time carry wand perpendicularly in front of and against right shoulder, right hand extended downward along barrel of wand, left hand grasping wand at right shoulder, palm facing front; on next two counts pivot to left with wand perpendicular at left shoulder. Repeat exercise through remaining four counts.

10. Wand perpendicular, with front and back pivot, eight counts.

EXPLANATION.-Place right foot about six inches back of left, and pivot back directly to rear, via right, with wand perpendicular, as in preceding exercise; then on next two counts pivot to front with wand to left shoulder, repeating through eight counts.

11. Wand perpendicular with trunk rotation, eight counts.

EXPLANATION.-On first two counts carry wand to perpendicular on outside of right shoulder, grasping wand as in Exercise 9, and rotating trunk to right, but head turned to left, looking over left shoulder; on next two counts do same reversely; alternate thus through eight

counts.

12. Wand perpendicular with forward and backward lunges, sixteen counts.

Fourth Order

Attitudes

In the following order each attitude may be held eight counts, corresponding to one strain of music. The left foot is stationary, except as it pivots on ball of foot or rises on toes to accommodate the action of the other foot.

Wand down.

I

Wand horizontal and at arms' length front, right foot fully twice its length forward and supporting body, left foot on toes, eyes looking front.

II

Wand horizontal and at arms' length over head, right foot carried four times its length backward from preceding position and supporting body, both feet on floor, knees firm, head back, eyes looking upward.

III

Wand perpendicular at right shoulder, left hand grasping wand at right shoulder, palm facing front, right grasping wand at arm's length, down and against thigh, basic position retained from preceding attitude, eyes looking over left elbow. (Illus. I.)

IV

Same as preceding, except wand perpendicular to left shoulder, and eyes looking

over right elbow.
