fInlS TdTd avis is little Lillian Gra-
ham, aged eight and ohe-ha years
Lillian is certainly the youngest. and
possibly the smallest premiere danseuse
in the world. and while she has passed
the greater part of her young life in
New York, most of her dancing has been
in English theaters.
Soon to Go Back to Work.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Graham brought
her talented child home for a well-earn-
ed vacation. but they will soon return
for another season.
Though Lillian made her debut among
strangers 1t was not entirely from
choice. New York is closed to her
and, notwithstanding the many excel
lent dancing instructors here 1t seemed
advisable to give this ambitious little
girl the benefit of English masters.
Thus it happened that a year ago Mrs.
Graham took Lillian to London and
placed her under the care of a we'll
known teacher. one who advocates the
French ballet system and who found in
this small child an extraordinarily ant
pupil. AS a result Of her faithful work
and natural talent Little Lillian returns
TO her home with the enviable prestige
of successful London season. Not
many dancers several times Lillian's
age begin their, career go auspiciously.
A Born Toe Dancer.
Lillian is really born toe dancer,
for these tiny members of her feet
are perfectly square across the ends
and they are formed as though Nature
had intended from the first that she
should stand upon their very tips.
Curiously enough Lillian is rather
plump and though she weighs more than
the average child Of her age, the extra
avordupois seems to make not the
slightest difference in the ease with
which she rises on the ends of her
small toes and pirouettes as gaily and
lightly as fniry.
Her marvellous dancing was a source
of much interest and concern to tbs
police officials OF London, and sometimes

THE BEST OF LIFE.

With the birth of love all seems good.
 Mayhap you will sleep less sound and long,
 Yet the day is filled with the lilt of song, And you walk with worldwide brotherhood Winning a love? Still a better life.
 The pulse beats faster with hopes and fears
 And the heart looks on to the happy years When she shall at last be won-and wife! But keeping love! An! that is best. The doubling, wondering hope is past. Deep trust and truth have brought at last The perfect life of love and rest. I-(Langdon Ballinger in Good Housekeeping
