From that timeEher" doll was named Roca-
hontas and she swun her kitten in a bit or
leather and called it a pappoose.
AS she grew older she often spoke of the
freedom of life away from cities and alone
with nature. Perhaps her influence more
than anything else induced her father to pur
chase a tract Of land in New Jersey, with a
view Of moving to the new world. Circum-
stances prevented his departure, but Eliza
beth set out for the colonies in the spring
OF 100. A poor widow accompanied her as a
friend and housekeeper and two trusty men
servants, members OF the Society of Friends,
also went along. The house prepared for
her reception stood in the middle OF the
forest, several miles from any other dwell
ing, but Elizabeth found too much to do
to get lonely.
The neighboring Indians coon loved her
as a friend, for they found her always truth
full, Just and kind, and from her teachings
they learned much of simple medicines. SO
efficient was her skill and so prompt was
her sympathy that for many miles around II
man, woman or child were seriously Ill they
were sure to send for Elizabeth Haddon.
And wherever she went her observing mind
gathered some new hint for the improve
ment of dairy or farm. Her house and her
heart were both large, and as her residence
was on the way to the Quaker meeting house
in Newtown it soon became a place OF great
popularity to Friends from all parts OF the

hopes that before that period has expired
more money win be raised and the work
continued.
Miss B~otsford has exerted herself to con-
zeal her connection with the work. prefer
ring that no publicity be given to her phil
anthropic efforts. So carefully has she
guarded her secret that, though she has
been working on her project for more than
a week. it was not until yesterday that her
name was revealed. During the time re
quired to raise the money 1t was known
that "a prominent young woman was the
promoter of the scheme. Nothing more
could be learned Of her.
Miss B~otsford is the daughter OF MIR. and
Mrs. b. II. Botsford of 2l00 Calumet avenue
and is a society f%avorite. Since her debut
several seasons ago she has won many
friends. aud is known as one Of the most
beautiful girls on the south side. She is a
niece Of Charles Schwartz. one OF Chicago's
greatest beaus. In interesting herself for the

phase OF character and her friends are even

of a family of sailors. Her musical talent
soon asserted itself and at the age OF s
she composed several little tunes having a
religious flavor. Blzet, the composer of Car
men," predicted a brilliant future for her
and she studied with several important
Partisan musicians and composers, among
whom was Benjamin GODDARD. At the age OF
IS she gave her first concert in Paris ana
won enthusiastic praise from Ambrose
Thomas. Since then every year has strength
ener her position among musicians ana
critics, and every species of composition
seems to come with equal facility from her
pen. Not only small works, but ambitious
ones, have placed her name among the
cleverest and most sympathetic of modern
French composers. lies Amazons," a lyric
symphony for orchestra and chorus, follows
the form, but not the spirit, of Hector
Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet symphony, La
Sevillane' Is an opera comique; a ballet
called "Callirhoe,'' represented in Lyons and
Marseilles in the early part Of 1883, and a
concerto for pianoforte and orchestra are
among her important productions. To this
list are added two trios for pianoforte, violin
and violincello. many pianoforte compositions
and a number OF songs. Every one knows
the pretty Scarf Dance" the spinning
Wheel" and "Pierrette," which are constantly
played.
Some critics prefer her songs to her other
works. She generally selects verse OF re-
fined and delicate sentiment such as the
poems of Victor Hugo, Armand Sylvester,
Sully Prud'homme and Francois Coppee, and

Exercise 4. Lift the heels, bend the knees,

Exercise 8. Bend the knee, INT the leg
slowly upward and forward until hip and
knee are bent at right angles. The instep
should be stretched SO that the toes point
downward, the knee pointing sideways, Tor
ward. Common faults In practicing this ex-
ercise are to incline the body UP
the shoulder to the opposite side, and to
bend the knee of the leg which holds the
body.
IL must be understood that all these move
ments are to alternate, first with one loot
and then with the other.
Exercise 6. Standing with the hips firm,
move first the right and then the left foot,
parallel with itself, twice its own length for
ward, and place 1t on the ground with a gem

weight of the body being carried equally by
both feet. The movements should be taken
backward as we'll.
These exercises bring into play all the mus
cles of the legs as well as those about the
waist.
Walking on tiptoe is an excellent balance
movement. The shoulders should be kept
level throughout the exercise, which Is then
one OF the best means OF correcting the habit
of tipping the shoulders from side to side
when walking. In walking on tiptoe one

Cheminade's music has few mannerisms, and
her tenderness and sympathy in her art

a natural gift of fluent melody, the
cultivated talent for blending harmoniee to-

neat and clear, and beautifully written.

The preliminary step in learning the art OF
true balancing is to practice heel elevation
