"It Is Indeed a desirable thing to be

GOODBY!
Gsodby.
What do«e the word mean? Well,
It can mean anythin* and often mean,
nothin*.
We are not goln* to attempt to elab
orate on the meaning—we could not—
but simply to relate what It really doea
mean, or, better, give aome of the
many meanings.
Goodby.
If there waa only <me word left to
any. mere mortal—a compound word at
that—before apeech would forever be
blasted (even If that mortal should be
a woman) we honestly hold as our
bumble opinion, that word would be—
Goodby.
Here's a wilderness; lose your
Imagination In It.
A vigorous, ambitious, successful be-
Ing suddenly comes face to face with
death. He has but time to gasp
Goodbyl
What does he mean? Goodby to the
• stranger In whose arms he fallH? Per-
I haps "God bless you" to the assassin
i who, without warning, nithlessly per
petrated him through Death a door.
•Maybe It was a parting word to be
I carried, along with the news of his de-
' parture, Into that erstwhile happy

! less dreams of conquest—man dreams
i of conquest; woman of bome—to the
exhilaration of competition, to the
world of sighs, smiles, songs successes,
. failures, hardships and h »PP
million meanings are crowded Into the
six little letters—
G-o-o-d-b-yl
But then again, not to be so serious,
when followed by a sigh It means that
• HE has left home. ■
When It is spoken with a tear It
means that they have left home—the
plural Is In the case of ‘ h .®'“Sweetheart
jt would be singular If the sweetheart
i said It—singular, Indeed, for In that
case the tear Is there, but the word

Then—but spare Is ■ car f*'
is sweet sorrow, so some claim, and In
the present case It means simply

WHY AUTUMN LEAVES
TURN RED—A FABLE.
The doe, egft brown eyes aglow with
love, tread lightly, daintily over the
soft brown leaves. Hesitating a mo
ment, she threw back her shapely head,
but acented no danger, scented only the
sylvan fragrance of the cooling vephyra
—she continued upon her love mission.
Tho winter threw across his shoulder
the cold steel barrel of his gun. "Now
for some real sport," hj said.
The doe sped on through the forests
on the wings of love. She had heard
the call of the hart, recognised it—how
beautiful was the.forest, how clear the
streams, hotv bright the sun, how blue
the skies—she recognised the call of the
hart and her blood pulsed with the
pure sweet ecstacy of first love.
The hunter,' with gun across his knee,
sat resting. Slowly he took from his
mouth the smoking pipe, placed It be
side him, leaned, forward and llatened.
He whistled a low whistle./'
The doe heard through the woodland
maze the aoft notes. She quickened
her pace to,match the quickened beats
of her pulse. Straight toward the
hunter she ared.
The hunter stood, gun at atm. Tho
crackling of twigs came closer. The
nearby bushes parted.
A beautiful pair of soft brown-eyes
reflected the glint of flame, then for
ever closed.
The hunter hurried toward the place
where lay the doe. He looked down
on her— .
"Fashioned so slenderly.
Young and so fair.”
She was too small, too young. He
turned away In quest of other ganje.
The hart far up In the mountains
whistled until nightfall, then went In
quest of the one he was to wed.
i Through-the moon-lit woodland he
made his way. Many hours he searrh.
ed until finally he came to the spot
who re lay the doe. --*■*
lie looked down upon her. "She has
jjnawei'fd <!>*• call ■>( another?) he said.
"Made no scrutiny
Into her mutiny,
but only said:
fRash and undutlful!"
lie saw not that she •Waa
"Fast dll dishonor,
Death had left on hsr
Only the-beautiful."
He cared not. She was no more. H»
went his way. .
And as he went the skies grayed. The
forest looked down upon him and for
the hart's heartlessness blushed. The
autumnal leaves turned the tint of
the rising suh. '
And so It Is. Once a yew the leaves
of the forest* blush for the sins and
wrongs of the anttniliiof the earth.
A human l*y tin* name of Hue.
Wns called swell by all those she
kuew:
Her foot prints you see
Were smith ns could lie
Her figure—well, h lu kangaroo.

DANCE SEEN IN PARIS
AS A PERSONIFICATION
OF AN ORIENTAL RELIGION
Ella Wheeler Wilcox Describes Beautiful
Dance-Poem, “The Rhoda,” Created
by an American Girl.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Dancing has always appeuled tn me
as one of the most beautiful methods
of expressing the poetry and Joy of
It ranks In my mind with painting,
sculpture, literature and music.
I can recall but one American woman
who has create# a new thing In any
of the arts distinctly and exquisitely
new, and that one—Lole Fuller, with
iier wonderful fire and calla Illy dances.
When "The Man" and I arrived In
Paris It waa our Intention to see all
that wns Interesting on the Jrcnch
stage In the way of danejng, and to be
amus-d, pleased, shocked or entertain
ed. aa the result might be.
One sultrv September night, nfter we
hAd unpacked our trunks, we set out
for a stroll down the boulevards, and.
seeing many jieople enter a music hall
ami purchase, tickets, we followed and
obtained excellent seats from which we
watched nn amusing farce and some
special features, with only Idle curlo*-
"Vhen suddenly we became alert. The
unusual stage setting attracted our at
tention, and we piocured a program
and found that we were to see the

beautiful dance poem, The Rhada, cre
ated. or rather evolved, by an American
girl. Mis* Ruth'Dennis.
Rer.lly Uplifting.
I had heard much of this dance, but
had never seen It, anti now, here In
Paris, where I had expected to wltnest.
only suggestive and risque dances, I
was treated to one of the most delight
ful enjoyments of my life In watching a
wholesome and charming American girl
float through her exquisite creation.
The "Rhada" 1* a dance nnd a hymn,
a prayer, a picture and an epic poem all
in °ne. .. ...
It affected "The Man" like a magic
spell, and rendered him oblivious to all
mundane thing*, even my .own pres
ence, while it wns being performed.
It filled him with a de»tre for a life
calm contemplation and spiritual
evolution.
•Tt l* better than a sermon and great
er than any sacred music ever sung or
rdaved.*’ he said when it wus over.
Which, is an unusual remark to hear,
coming mt of a Parisian music and
dance hall, surely.
So Interested were we In this color
ful and artistic creation that l asked
Ml** Dennis to come nnd talk to me
about Iter work. She came, and I found
her a sweet, brave American girl, w ith
marked intellectual development, born
and bred out in Somerville. N. J., and
devoted to the profession of her choice
since early girlhood.
Europe Thrilled.
8hc had dreamed of doing aoiuethlng
distinctive, something worth while,
ever since she could remember, and ho,
with this desire always In mind, the
"Rhada" nad been evolved after two
years’ concentration and study.
It all came about In a very simple,
yet very wonderful way, and beenuae of
her own deep earnestness and unswerv
ing devotion to her ideal, and because
she put tbe very best of herself Into
her w’ork. The public was electrified
by her finished creation when It was
produced tn America.
It was new’, It was poetlcnl, It war an
appeal to the soul as well as to the eye.
Now Kurope Is thrilled with it.
It has been tremendously successful
In Purls, nnd Berlin and Monte Carlo
are clamoring for It. Kinir Edward
has given his word of approval, and
laurels are falling on the fair brow'
of the slender American dancer, who
becomes In her work the personifica
tion of the spirit of the ancient religion
of India, the religion which has de
generated, as do nil religions eventual
ly, but which In Its purity held tho es
sence of all Truth, all Knowledge.
So here Is anotter woman who l' 3 *
created a new' think tn art. anti again
In the rcnltn of Terrjdchpro.
Let her name ipf Into the hall i
fame. ’ , . _
She has elevated her art anti
the world a beautiful work.
