2 B EAUTY must be a harmonious whole. In the figures of the dance one ungraceful step can mar the perfection of the rhythmical charm one is trying to produce. In the physical rhythm of the human body an ugly arm or hand can spoil the spell of loveliness. The question I always ask myself is: Why, in a world where we are all under the sway of physical lure, do >e so calmly accept our own imper fections and those of our children? We work intelligently for evolution and growth in health and strength and brain power; but beauty and grace we accept in the old supersti tious fairy-tale fashion as the gift of the good fairies—and we fold our hands in the supposedly philosophical decision that either we have it or we have it not. Not at all! Either we have beauty or we set about getting it—if we have brains enough to ac quire anything! It is a simple thing to train the human body in the right way—the way it should go—in the beginning, but it is hard to alter bodily faults pnce they have come. However, if you have come to maturity without time inclining the weight gradually to the entire foot. Practice this with gradually receding and increasing tempo, and finally do it as you walk forward on tiptoe, or as near as you can manage to this toe position. The second picture is a little danc ing step that can be practiced at a walking tempo until enough facility is gained to do it merrily and lightly as a dance. Advance on the ball of the feet with toes pointing outward. Incline the body forward, and keep the head a bit forward in the line of the slight curve of the back. The arms mving up in gentle curves until the elbow is about at waist height. As the weight is swaying to the r proper training in bodily grace, and the health and ease and beauty It brings, do not despair—instead, ded icate 30 minutes morning and even ing—(one hour out of your day) to the beautiful art of the dance, and coon your reward will be great not only in terms of the pleasure of pleasant, graceful movement, but in health, beauty and a gloriously sym metrical figure, too. Proper Training. And make sure that your little chil dren, and the dear young things all about you, have the proper begin nings to insure for them healthy and beautiful and graceful bodily growth. Since an ugly arm or hand can so easily spoil the perfection of beauty, suppose, to-day, I show you how- beautiful arms and hands may oe evolved through proper training. It seems a far cry from dancing to beautiful arms and hands, but I shall try to show r you how they may be gained in the rhythmical movement and exercise of the classical dance. As most of the movements of the Classical dance are executed with high-flexed arch and, the body’s weight falling on the ball of the foot, Nvhile the instep is held in a firm high curve, they give of themselves a slen der grace and power to the too-mucn- neglected foot. In both of the exer cises I give you to-day the body must be poised lightly and springily upon the ball of the foot, inclining forward toward the toes. Walking and dancing thus will banish the flat- foot that seems to be a foe of modern high-heeled civilization. The first 'picture shows one stage of a very wonderful arm exercise. Poise the weight on the balls of the feet, swaying slightly back and for ward from toes to heels as the armr are raised with drooping wrists to shoulder height. When tho arms are straight lines from shoulder sockets, raise the wrists and arm? simul taneously until the backs of the hands just touch above the head. A Dancing Step. Now drop the arms slowly, w r ith rhythmical muscular control, to the shoulder height again and turn the arms so the palms are alternately up and down parallel to the floor. Then, With palms down, sink the arms gradually to the sides, at the same HOW THIS WOMAN FOUNDJEALTH Would Not Give Lydia E.

Swing the arms in - _ jywt ** WUTS. inoDlOAT- The figure to the left shows the culmination of the exercise for developing beautiful arms through rhythmic motion. To the right is shown a classical dancing step in which the hands and arms are also exercised. and out thus from slide to side as the weight of the body springs from foot to foot. In all these arm exer cises hold the hand relaxed from the wrist, with light, pliant fingers, mid dle fingers fairly close together, small and index fingers gently curved and relaxed with the Index finger point ing up ever so slightly. The faithful practice of these two exercises will register for you a dis tinct step toward the acquisitipn ot poetically graceful arms and hands. Little Bobbie’s Pa By WILLIAM F.

A German band happened to play under the windows of a house in a fashionable neighborhood the other afternoon, when Mrs. B. was "at home." They were a fair specimen cf their kind—blaring and noisy, yet correct in their time and altogether in movement from long practice. The butler started out to drive them away, for they interrupted the music within, but Mrs. B. ordered him to Invite them in. A happy thought struck her. "Ladies and gentlemen,” she said, five minutes later, “a party of our friends have consented to give an im itation of a street band. I now have the pleasure of Introducing them.” Then the six members of the or ganization filed awkwardly into place and played a piece. The audience de lightedly declared that the mimicry was perfect, especially the make-up of the players, who were recalled half a dozen times. "Would you take them for anything but genuine street stragglers?” was asked of a belle "Indeed, yes,” she confidently re plied; “they’re clever in their mim icry, but one can always tell gentle men, no matter how disguised. I’m dying to find out who they are.” Every Man Needs One. Boob—For the love of Mike, what’s an industrial bureau? Simp—That’s one that your collar but- By MAX. A UGUST 10.—I have wondered ever since the accident why Sally did not come to me, and learned this morning. She had sailed for Europe the day before and was on the ocean the day Richards re ceived Mrs. Allen’s telegram to come at once. I am glad she is away. If she were here and did not come I would suf fer all the pangs of an abused and neglected boy, and if she came, good ness alone knows what I would say or do in my weakness. I am sure I would demand the rlghta of a sick man to her devotion, or fret myself into a fever if she refused. I had a note from her to-day, writ ten In Paris. "My dear big brother,” she wrote, "I can’t tell you how alarmed I was at reading in the cable news in a Paris paper of your accident. I hope that the charge of exaggeration al ways made against the press is true this time. I receive daily cables re garding your condition from the doc tor, and he assures me you are get ting along all right. You know, my dear big brother, I need you. You are more than all the world to me. "SALLY.” Isn’t that just like a woman? She puts in that word "brother” twice to make me realize that I am no more than a brother to her, and then adds "You are more than all the world to me” to keep me crazy about her. She has a husband, and can’t have me, but she likes to be loved, and intends to keep me loving her. Past Proofs. In looking backward I find every reason for believing that her oppo sition to the widow was not actuated entirely by sisterly feejings. The look of warnings she sent me, and many, many telegrams to beware of the woman who was pursuing me, are proof to me that Sally loved me then, and I did not know it. “You are so stupid,” she said to me once, "that if a woman were in love with you and tried her best to show it you would never see it. Now’, suppose, for instance, that I loved you and had been trying tfo tell you for more than a year.” "But you don’t,” I added, "you love Jack.” "Yes,” she repeated, dully, “I love Jack. He is my husband, and. of course, I love him. The law many centuries ago ordained that a wife should love her husband, and 1 wouldn’t presume to question the law.” She laughed a little bitterly. “But suppose.” ?he repeated, “that I loved you, and told you so.” Sally is a very handsome woman. I Yecall that on this occasion, she was lying in a hammock, and I sat in a chair near her. We were on her porch, waiting. I believe, for Jack to return from town. “If you loved me,” I said, ‘T think I would make you realize as you have never realized what it is to have a man’s love. But this is nonsense, for. of course, there is Jack.” "Yes,” she said, "there is Jack. Max go home! You are so good-looking to-night you are dangerous.” I laughed, for I thought it was only more of her nonsense. “Go home,” she repeated. I got up and started for the steps, rather milky to be treated ho, and she caught up with me when I had descended the second step and threw both arms around my neck. ‘'You are Just two steps taller than I,” she laughed. Then she pressed my face against hers and whispered that I was a dear, big stupid. And do you know, Diary. I wonder now’ what it was that made me so stupid. I had been so sure for years that she belonged to Jack, not be cause her marriage ties bound her, but because she loved him and had no room in her thoughts for any other man, that it never entered my head that she cared for me. I know’ she suffered and grew thin and haggard when Jack was gone with the w’idow, but if I had had any sense I believe I could have made those ten days the happiest of her life. And now-, instead of being grateful that I have been saved from wrong doing, I look at myself with disgust because I didn’t recognize my oppor tunities. She was humiliated because of the manner in which her husband slighted her; her heart was mine all the time, and she couldn’t tell me, and I was too big a dolt to see. When I get well, If I get well "You know, Max,” the doctor said to mo very frankly this morning, "some thing went wrong with your spine in that fall, and we have a fight ahead of us.” . So there Is an ‘‘if’ connected with my future that is the biggest “if” I have met in my troubled existence. It is all right. If I win I will fight for Sally. Right or wrong, that is my intention. If I lose, I hope I will have ample warning that the struggle is going against me, so that they may get Sally here and I can slide out into the nowhere from her arms. Takes Her Nap. August 12—I do not suffer any great pain, only the pain of weari ness, and the nurse Is so patient and tender I am ashamed to complain of that. I am bolstered up in bed a few hours every morning and write these lines at long Intervals apart. It Is a comfort to me to write that which I can not speak about and'It short ens the long days. Manette always takes her nap at this time of the day, the nurse Is gone for her morning walk, and Rich ards sits beside me—patient, faith ful Richards "If anything happens to me, Rich ards." 1 said this morning, turning i to her, "you must never leave Ma nette. Tou—’’ I had never told any one this before—"will find yourself a rich woman.” "I will never leave Manette under any circumstances.” she said some what brokenly, “and I don't want to be a rich woman. I only want you to get well so that we may all go back home, and be happy there again I am so thankful every day.

You are an observing man,” he re- markiJ to Peter, “and seem to have no ticed this gir! closely. Was this bag she carried a small, yellow one?” “It was not. thin,” that person em phatically replied, while the butler shook his head. “It was small, that It was, but not a mark of yellow’ about It at all. I see it manya the time. It’s black it was.* “And would you know it if you saw St again?” “I’ll hot say that, sur; but I could tell if it wur the same kind of one.” Mr. Gryce smiled and produced from his capacious pocket the bag which had been found by him in the doctor’s phaeton. “Was it like this one?” he asked, holding It up between the two men, with the initials toward Peter, and the blank side toward the butler. “No,” was the former's reply, and “Oui,” that of the latter. He whirled the bag about. ”1 never have seen ze filigree on him like zat!” now exclaimed the butler. “By the powers that’s it,” was, on the contrary, Peter's response. Mr Gryce laughed and put the bag back in his pocket. Another Clew. “You don’t agree,” he said. “We do that,” returned Peter. But Mr. Gryce would not be con vinced. He saw that If this was the bag that they had been in the habit of seeing on the arm of the girl who had visited Miss Gretorex, that it ha<I always been carried with the initial- side In, and this again seemed a great improbability. He was about con vinced that he was on a false trail. Disappointed and dissatisfied, he there fore cut the conversation short, and In a few minutes was about to leave this house for the second ttme in anything but a happy frame of mind. But this time he did not go out by the side door. He was in the kitchen, and he naturally sought the kitchen exit. In doing this, his eyes fell upon the gravel walk that ran about the house. “Humph!” was his mental ejaculation. But he saw sometnlng the next mo ment—having by this time stepped into the yard—which called from him some thing more than an exoalamtion. This was a small piazza, built one or two steps from the ground, for the use, as it appeared, *of the servants of th« house. It was squar# In shape and had a high balustrade about it, termi nating in pillars that supported the roof. It was the color of this balus trade which drew his attention. It was of a bright and peculiar brown and and seemed, to have been but lately painted. “Can it be that I have here found what I have so long been searching for?” he queried. And stepping upon the piazza he ran lira eye along the balustrade with the most careful scru tiny. Suddenly he paused, looked clos er, and gave utterance to a sound ex pressive of satisfaction and keen won der. From the supporting pillar near est the steps a portion of paint had been rubbed, of the size and shape of the smudge on Mildred Farley’s dress, and dried into the thin coating yet re maining was a woolly fuzz so evidently blue In color that ev^n this old and ex perienced worker among marvels was taken aback, and thought he had never seen anything finer nor more con clusive. It was with a very grave face he stepped back Into the kitchen. "Excuse me," said he, “but what a fine porch you have outside. I think I will come and visit you some even ing next summer. Fun out there, eh?" "Well, now, do you hear that?” laughed good-natured Peter. “And how prettily It is painted; looks fresher than the rest of the house.” “Yes, the master intended using it at the time o' the wedding—what for I don’t know—and it being well used up by that same fun ye wur axln about, the count there bought a pot o’ paint and wlnt over It on his own account. It didn’t dry good like, and the master thanked the count, so he did, but didn't use the porch. I’m thinkln’ he gave the count foive dollars for disappointin’ him do ye molnd?” And Peter, evidently thinking he had got the laugh on the butler this time, laughed himself, long and loud. But Mr. Gryce did not laugh. A prob lem dark with mysteries was before him, and he had no disposition to mirth, and but little patience with those who had. Tests and Surprises. I T was indeed a serious discovery he had made; how serious he could not yet determine. That the girl who had brought home Miss Gretorex’s dresses, anti who had been with her on the very evening she was married, was he same one who had been carried dead into Mrs. Olney’s parlor at or near mid- lght of that same day, there could be no doubt. But had she died here? It did not fol low, though the fact that Miss Gretorex, or as she was now called, Mrs. Cam eron, showed such a disposition to deny acquaintanceship with the girl, seemed to argue the existence of something strangely unpleasant between them. Yet it need not have been anything con nected with the tragic end of the girl Ladles of Mrs. Cameron’s stamp are invariably cowards when it comes to appearing in e police court, or before a magistrate as a witness. Even men sometimes shrink from this ordeal, and resort to every subterfuge to hide the fact that they know anything about a crime of the party suspected of it. And she had this excuse, that she was a bride and naturally hated any such un* pleasant publicity In connection with her marriage. A Puzzle. Yet the desire of Molesworth to com municate his position to the Camerons! .Vas it purely on account of the medi cal case he mentioned? Mr. Gryce felt himself at liberty to doubt it. And the scream which had arisen from this house during the marriage ceremony! ' A’hence did it come and what did it ■ mean? He had not realized its impor tance at the time, but now he felt that he must make every effort to discover both its source and occasion. Turning o the two men, he remarked in his off hand way: “By the way, I heard something curl ous about the wedding here. A friend of mine told me that there was a big ■scream In the house right in the middle of the ceremony. Was that so?” “Oui, monsieur,” quoth Jean, “zat Marguerite scream all ze time, and she scream zen.” Peter smiled Indulgently. “Is It Margaret, ye say? Whin will yez git over talkin’ about her screamin' like a fool. Sure she wasn’t In the house at all. Every one of us knows that, and it’s time ye did, too.” Jean shrugged his shoulders disdain fully. "It was ze voice of Marguerite, I know him very well. I hear him many times, and I hear him zat time of ze wedding and always ze same.” "How the devil could she scream if she wasn’t In the house? “Do Marguerite say she was not in zc house?” “No. but don’t we know she wasn’t?
