classes of the Misses Petit, neces
sitated an enlargement over last
yenr's structure and an outstanding
feature of this addition Is the piano
room, equipped and furnished with
rare craftsmanship by Miss Petit,
who brought hack many novelties
from the west, this past summer.
She attended the University of
California. Miss Evelyn Petit's
growing popularity as a teacher of
piano, becomes more and more evi
dent with the passing of time. Her
rare personality and ability to Im
part the scientific principles of the
use of weight, touch, and mental
control, have won for her Immense
success In the musical world. A
wonderful example of her work Is
the little concert artist Cara Vola
at the tender age of six years.
Pedagogic courses ore offered as
well as classes In musical history,
harmony and theory.
The ballroom In this studio was
another Improvement. Here the
highest form of dancing, tho Rus
sian Ballet Is taught to all ages,
little tots older girls, and grown
ups. America In the last decade
has done much In realizing the
benefits of this art from Russia.
From a dancing which consisted of
a mere gliding of the feet, a few
kicks nnd hops, lhey have gon« on
to an art In which every part of
the body, head, shoulders, arms,
torso, legs and feet, becomes a
medium of expression and develop
ment.
It would he hard to find a tea
cher In the South more capable of
Interpreting with such fascinating
charm nnd daintiness the princi
ples of the Russian Ballet as Miss
Almeda Petit. Her fine nrt has
found development under the
masterful Instruction of such tea
chers ns Louis Challf, who stands
foremost In this country as a
teacher of teachers. Homla Berova,

It Is a rare treat for the Augusta
public to be able to boast of a
studio where such a combination of
art can he attained.
It Is also of interest to know
that chlldrc# parties can be ar
ranged for as well as grown-ups

HEAVEN WILL PROTECT THE
WORKING GIRL
Marie Dressier, who after a score
or more of years la still remember
ed by Augusta theatre goers, has
wrlten her biography and In It
carries the following verses which
she so cleverly rendered when here
and which never failed to bring a
tremendous response:
“A village maid was leaving home,
her eyes with tears was wet.
Her mother dear was stand near
the spot:
She says to her—‘Neuralgia, dear, I
hope you won’t forget
That I'm Hie only mother you
have got.
The city Is a wicked place, as any
one can see.
And cruel dangers 'round your
path may swirl,
So every week you’d better send
your wages borne to me,
For heaven will protect the
working girl.
•' ’You are going far away,
Ttut remember what T say,
When you are in the city’s giddy
whirl;
From temptations, crime and follies,
Villains, taxicabs and trolleys,
Ob heaven will protect the
working girl.’
"Her dear old mother’s word proved
true for soon the poor girl
met
A man who on her ruin was
intent;
He treated her respectful, as vil
lains always do.
And she supposed ho was a per
fect gent,
But she found different when one
night he lured her out to dine
Into a table-dotey, blithe nnd gay
And he said to her: ‘Now, after this
we ll have a deinl-tasae.’
Then the brave girl to him these
words did say:
•Stand back, villain, go your way.
Here I will no longer stay;
Although you were a Marquis or
a Earl,
You may tempt the upper classes
With your villainous demi-tasses,
But heaven will protect the work
ing girl.’ ”

Nurse Stacey’s Suggestions to
«» MRS. H. STACEY \
COLLINSVILUS. ILLINOIS
A MOST trying period of a woman’s life is that of middle age,
fraught with danger to some extent., and invariably with most
annoying symptoms, such as hot-flashes, smothering spells, nervous
troubles, irregularities and fainting spell.’}.
■When a woman like Nurse Stacey after many years of caring for tha
rick writes a letter of praise for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound like the following, it should influence other women who are
passing through the Change of Life to tiy it.
Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound is a root and herb medicina
especially adapted to act upon the feminine system. It helps nature
to build up the weakened, nervous system, and enables women to pasa
this trying period with the least possible annoying symptoms.
Nurse Stacey’s Letter Follows:
CoLLissmiE, Ti.t.—*'l could almost write a book in praise of Lydia E. I’inkhatn's
v cgctablo l (impound. In the first place my husband induced mo to try it and l
nave continued taking it off and on for years. I have become a well woman from its
use and am now taking it through the Change of Life just to be on the safe side. I
first took it for backache and a weak condition of the whole system and I think it
saved my life and my baby. She is now a mother and takes it herself and I think I
can count as high as a hundred women I have recommended the Vegetable Compound
to. as lam a practical nurse. l T se mv letter in any wav you ace fit for I will stand
by what 1 write.”—Mrs. U. Stacey, Collinaville, Illinois.
Another Woman’s Similar Experience
hhe I was always tired and weak, could hardly do tny work
and did not care to go anywhere or talk to people. After I began to take Lydia E.
I’inkhani's \ egetahlo Compound 1 noticed a change and before I had taken four
bottles of it 1 felt like a new person. I can and always will recommend it in cases
like mine.’—Mrs. Jos. V'A.xtsn, 1315 $. 14th St., Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
