Guerrero, the successor of Carmencitnas best exemplar of the Spanish dancer, and Otero, a good dancer for all her too pronounced personal notoriety, are the leading exponents of t h c for m e r tendency; therefore, the Spanish dance is the source from which the many lesser lights draw their inspiration also. This preeminence of the Spanish dance is due. not merely to the talent of plainly strongly defined ideas and emotions; it is therefore a true dance, is deservedly popular, and will live. Thesamecan be said of the darky "cake-walk"--the only truf, that is natural and original, dance in America. It is a natural growth from the savage ancestry of the American negro, and in its pure form every step and every twist has a definite mimetic object, is the representation of a definite feeling. The serpentine dance, invented in its modern form by Loie Fuller, and the "though t dances" performed by Isadora Duncan, are an attempt to revive the II e 1 1 e n i c dances that were part of the dramatic represen tations.

Not to a princess would I pay such homage as to the woman who could wake the feeling with which these poor people regard you." She blushed with the deepest pleasure of her life, for she had been repressed and reprimanded so long that words of encouragement and praise were very sweet. But she only said with a laugh, "Oh, come; don't turn my poor bewildered head any more to-night. I'm desperately anxious to have uncle and aunt think I'm a very mature young woman, but I know better and so do you. Why, even Uncle Lusthah made me cry like a child." "Well, his words about you brought tears to my eyes, and so there's a pair of us." "Oh!" she cried delightedly, giving his arm a slight pressure, " I didn't know that you'd own up to that. When I saw them I felt like laughing and crying at the same moment. And so I do now--it's so delicious to be free and happy--to feel that some one is honestly pleased with you." He looked upon her upturned face, still dewy from emotion, and wondered if the moon that night shone on a fairer object the world around. It was indeed the face of a glad, happy child no longer depressed by woes a few hours old, nor fearful of what the next hour might bring. Her look into his eyes was also that of a child, full of unbounded trust, now that her full confidence was won. "You do indeed seem like a lovely child, Miss Baron, and old Uncle Lusthah told the whole truth about you. Those simple folk are like children themselves and find people out by intuition. If you were not good-hearted they would know it. Well, I'm glad I'm not old myself...".

This issue of Ideas in History marks our continuing attempt to internationalize the journal at the same time that we publish scholarship of pressing international interest from scholars based in Scandinavia. Ideas in History 6, no. 1 is an open issue—though its pieces lay emphasis on the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The articles in this issue emphasize intersections between culture, morality and politics. Mikkel Thorup investigates genealogies of radical terrorist philosophy and practice. Ben Dorfman looks into plays of historical thought in human rights, and the problem of alienation in both human rights and philosophy of history. Benjamin C. Sax regrounds Nietzschean concepts of the Will to Power and Will to Truth via new understandings of Nietzschean genealogy, and Elisabeth Stubb takes on problems of nation-building in Finland, and the role of intellectuals in the creation of world opinion. We hope our readers find Ideas in History 6, no. 1 enriching.
