NT AIRY, MaoDs OFj IERRSICHO A Royal Road to Health and Happiness There is a growing seal in the feminine world to cultivate grace and beauty of movement. There has always been the desire to be besu- tiful, but now there is added not only the wish for symmetry of form, poise, and other attributes that the dance will bring, but there is a wide-spread recognition of the health-giving value of dancing, Famous schools have sprung up all over the country, and there have been many and enthusiastic pupils of the art of Terpsichore, It seems to be the means ideally fitted to produce the sort of seful strength that is associated with feminine loveliness. A DANTING CLASES ATOP A SRY - SCRAPER, Phrobs Qopyrght by Undsvmood. YOU CAN DANCE YOUR WAY TO GRACE AND BEAUTY ST give some people a few yards of chiffon--yes, say some, & very few yards!--and what- ever the weather, in less than no time one may see all sorts of danc- ing and cavorting. Cavorting is right, for some people just naturally can not do classic dancing or suryth- mics or whatever the school may be. Pictured here are just a few class- ical dance poses by the pupils of Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. The critics do love to assail the more vigorous forms of sport for girls. Mme, Irene Popard, a teacher in the Paris Girls' Public School, is a warm advocate of her Parisian dancing girls, The interesting pic- ture shows some of Mme, Irene Popard's pupils during their exer- cise in the new art of continuous and complete movements of the limbs and the body which Mme. Popard declares is the only system for de- veloping the beauty of forms and modeling of the human body. All violent forms of sport, she declares, tend t6 develop muscles and de- stroy the gracefulness and curves of A woman, Such a lot of talk these days about the violent forms that one might almost paraphrase: "Dance and the world dances with you, play hockey and you play alone." : But then there are different grades of hockey as well as of dancing. The way some people play hockey would hardly affect a muscle, and some dancing would leave & hard- ened hockey player panting and gasping for breath and a quick dose of liniment. : Just as we hark back to the ancient Greeks in many things ath- letic, so we can in dancing. While primarily the dance of Greece was a form of worship and a branch of ed- ucation, it did not long remain sta- tionary, and made its way from re- liglon into every-day life, forming part of all merry-making, Dancing was reduced almost to a sclence by the Greeks, who classified their dances somewhat as follows: Kubistic, including leaping and scro- batic feats; speristic, rhythmical movements accompanying ball throwing; orchestra, or dancing proper, as we. understand it In Ancient Greece. To the Greek the dance stood for Candy for Your Sweet Tooth Maple Creams, Two cups of grated maple sugar, white of one egg; beat the white of ; i bs is Ssucepan, but only let it boil for very brief moment. Stir constantly, Flavor as desired with essence of i an idea, and he tried to make plain any idea at all, whether elevating or degrading, by the movements of the dance, Nobody in ancient Greece was too highly honored by the nation or per sonally too dignified to dance. Not even Socrates--though he had in Zantippe a jealous virago for a wife. "Am I to be blamed for reducing the corpulence of my body by a lit- tle dancing?" was the famous utter- ance of the greatest of Greek phil- osophers, who at the age of 60 had been taught the art of dancing by the famous scholar, courtesan and wit Aspasia. The Athenians were especially fond of dancing, and they were not only eloquent in speech, but also in gestures, mostly of the hands and arms. The poets taught cheirono- mia, the art of gesture, as part of the study of the classic dance. It was sald Telestes, a dancer in the: theater of Aeschylus, that he was so skilled in the chefronomia that he represented in the dance the "Seven Before Thebes." Sostratus is said to have refused to give the dance "Liberty" before the- conquerors of ment was complete without the 'ap- his native town because It was no longer free. - A Religious Rite. Dancing was inextricably inter- woven with the religion of the Greeks and no festival or entertain- propriate dancing. In the early ages it was kept up to a high standard, and Homer calls sleep, love, music and dancing the sweetest and the most perfect of all human enjoy- ments, but he dignifies the last only by the epithet "blameless."

Darned designs of wool up- on any filet mesh are different and interesting. The wool used for the embreidery should be different color, at least a paler or darker hue than the filet background to be inost effec- tive. However, wool of the same color as the background is charming, if less striking. The darning may be simply threaded one way, and either through the threads-of the mesh themselves or over and around them. Even crocheted lace can be treated in this way. * & Blanket stitching in a contrasting color may be used to outline the neck and sleeves of children's frocks. A dress of soft gray-blue cotton crepe, for instance, might have the neck and sleeves blanket stitched in bright green or orange. Why does the feminine clerk or stenographer, or for that matter any business girl, insist on carrying her fripperies and her furbelows into the Orfice? The supposition is that the increased allowance means increased temptation in the way of "pretty things;" but the desire for pretty things should not be allowed to over- shadow good taste, which is after all, the subtle secret of really good dressing.
