SOME ADVICE TO
THE GIRL WHO DANCES

To the girl who must dance and will
dance something must be said in the
way of reducing the bad effects to a
minimum. To prepare herself best to
avoid the consequences of overstrain she
must be careful to observe all those rules
of health which in the meantime may
conserve her vital energies. In other
words she must protect herself by an
increased vitality, and be moderate in
her excuses. Regularity of living, album
dance Of outdoor exercise. plenty of
regular sleep and freedom from undue
excitement may accomplish a great deal
The supper at night must always be
light chicken sandwich, cup of coffee,
a drink of lemonade, are ali that are re-
quired to keep a healthy woman in trim
for the time being. BY midnight she
should be asleep ready for the following
morning to take up her regular duties
of the day. The breakfast at the appoint
ed time. and the other meals in order
If she then finds herself over-fatigued
it is simply an indication that her special
vitality is overtaXed. and that less eX
citement and more rest are required
These rules are simple enough. but
because they are so simple the fashion
able girl looks beyond them for that
law to herself which she will never dis
cover.

ST. JOAN
OF ARC.
The Bishop of Orleans Hopes to Secure
Her CanonizatiOn This Coming
Spring.

The people of Orleans, France headed
by the Bishop of Orleans are endeavor-
ing to secure the canonization of the
greatest woman who ever lived in their
midst. Joan OF Arc, known in history as
the Maid of Orleans, succeeded in bring
ing about certain important historical
events the result of which have lived unto
this day.
leafs is ever new. The tale Of how in the
spring of the fifteenth century there was
born in Lorraine a peasant girl who
while in her teens, heard voices calling
her to fight for her country has been
often told.
Joan Of Arc went to her King at Chi
non and told him that she was commits
stoned to fight for him and to take him to
Rheims to be crowned. The King, for
there was something very magnetic about
this maid, gave her a command placed all
MS army at her disposal and so success
fully followed her that she led the French
TO victory and had her King crowned at
Rheims. as she promised.
But her triumph was short, for when
only 70 years old she was taken a prison
er by Inc English and burned at the
May, 1431. '1'' u
Although almost 500 years have passed
since then, Joan of Arc has not been for
gotten. She has been remembered by her
church particularly for her deep religious
f nieniff, Whlch in the fifteenth century was
UNITED to few women. In those times
Joan Of Arc stood alone as a believer in
God; she did everything under divine in
spiration, and for years was the only
woman of prominence who was not
ashamed to speak of her religion Rec
all her warlike career have been faith
fully kept, and it is upon these now that
her claims to canonization are based.
Canonization or the making Of a saint

one faint upon her personal character.
This must also be vouched for by large
number Of witnesses who have known the
person intimately during life. Records of
this kind are difficult, as few of them are
kept during the lifetime of a heroine. But
in the case of Joan of Arc there are many
written records of her unselfish deeds, SO
that this ordeal of canonization is easily
passed through.
The third is evidence of at least one
miracle performed by the person, through
faith in God. Joan of Arc is alleged to
have performed many miracles, a great
many of which are as well authenticated
as possible.
The Bishop believes that the only OBJ
stacle now in the way of Identification Is
the question of the reality or nCn-realfty
of the voices which it is said the Maid
of Orleans heard from heaven. Should
she pass through this step successfully,
she may become a saint.
A good woman or q heroic woman is
a subject Of admiration through all ages,
and the Maid of Orleans is prominent IN
romantic history whether she becomes
canonized or not.

up in a parcel scarcely larger than a
book, you can carry your purchase. 1t
will be a light parcel, too and it will
contain one silk petticoat!
Have you seen the silk skirts that are
now in the shops? It is safe to ask this
question because a new assortment has
lately arrived and unless you have been
out on a petticodt expedition you have
not seen the beautiful new garments
that are now being exhibited for the
pride and vanity of Womankind
What would our foremothers have
said to the silken petticoats of to-day?
What would good grandmother Priscilla
Alden have remarked could she have
beheld the ruffled, belaced absurdities of
this year? Yet how beautiful they are,
Many of them are trimmed with violets
and, above violets, there is a tiny RUNE
ending in a ribbon bow here and there
The newest silk petticoats have three
ruffies. There is the big, handsome out
side ruff1e, and then comes the ruff1e
which holds it out and keeps it stiff, in
side is the third ruffle which is a strong,
durable one to keep the others from
touching the street.
These silk petticoats cost all the way
from 81 to $780, and you can even get
a wider range of price, for some OF the
shops show them at a lower figure and
there is a handsome Fifth avenue house
which exhibits them at $3.50.

WHEN THEY
WERE GIRLS
The Youth of Two Women Who Are
Now the Worlds Most Celebrated
Beauties and Heart-Breakers.

When Adelina Patti was little girl,
playing in the streets of Madrid and
Paris, she little thought that she would
some day become the greatest celebrity
of her generation. And no one seeing her
at the age of 16 would have predicted
that she would ever be a great beauty.
That was nearly forty years ago; and
since that day Patti has gone through
years filled SO full of life that her story
reads like a dream.
Patti first began to show great beauty
at the age of 20, when she developed
very sweet expression and charming
manner That manner has never left her,
nor the expression
When she married the Marquis of
Caux she was singer of great repute,
and the understanding was that she was
to remain upon the stage. The Marquis
was rich, but the public would not al
low Patti to retire.
And so the trouble beg"n. Patti was
SO wondrously pretty t at all men, seeing
her, fell violently in love with her, and
those Who sang with her were compelled
to leave the opera company from heart
ache Twenty years ago no man could
look at Patti without falling in love
with her, and women openly worshipped
singer, but he loved Patti, and though
she hated him because he pursued her,
he kept on loving her. He paid the man
ager of the opera compa y an immense
sum to be allowed to sins Romeo to her
Juliet, and in the love scene he kissed
her twenty times though the Hbretto
called Tor only TWO Kisses.
PATHS husband became so jealous
over Nicolini that he quarreled with the
beautiful singer and left her. and then
the heart on the recoil fell at Nicolini' S
feet and he gladly accepted PATHS hand,
her heart and her voice.
When death parted them a year ago
Patti determined never again to marry
but when the Baron Gee arstrom, the
handsome young Swede who has made
his home in Paris the last five years,
wooed her she could not say no. The
Baron is said to be 27. His bride 80. Yet
those who know Patti intimately say
that he should be proud and happy to
secure so young and charming a wife.
Bernhardt thirty-seven years ago
gave no sign of great beauty. for she
was far 900 thin-far TOO pensive. Her
face had not taken on those wonderful
expressions which now play across it,
and her eyes were not the marvellous,
rolling eyes Of the Bernhardt OF to-
day.
Bernhard had many lovers, more
than thousand she wrote in her di-
ary but she was tickle She married
only once and was soon made a widow
by the death of her Greek husband.
Her youth was spent breaking hearts so
ruthlessly that she frequently says that
it makes her sad now to think of it.
Neither of these two remarkable wo-
men spent happy girlhoods for they were
the children Of poor parents and were
compelled to work when other girls
play.

is a long. difficult process. Owing to the
slowness Of the Vatican and the extreme
elaboration and caution with which it
moves, it takes twenty years from the
time the candidate is first mentioned be-
fore canonization can be obtained.
Monslgnor Touchet presented Joan of
Arc to the Vatican many years ago. and
has been promoting the question of her
beatiticatiOn ever since. He has recently
returned from Rome and reports a very
interesting interview with the authorities
of the Vatican, in which he was assured
that the case of Joan of Arc was being
examined as rapidly as possible.

The process of canonization is divided
into three parts. The first must show
that the subject has never told a lie. This
must be vouched for by reputable wit

The second consists of proof that the
