SHALL NAN ASK TO CALL
OR WAIT UNTIL INVITFDp

Women. and especially young ones.
are often puzzled to know If ii is cor
rect for them to invite men TO CALL or
whether man should/ask permission.
Many times the mattSr adjusts itself.
for II two persons are ;ns the habit Of
meeting with other friends an independ-
ent acquaintance is usually naturally
formed If they like each other.
At other times it is said that man
should ask permission to call. the theory
being that the first advance should be
ON his part While this is in measure
true IL has the drawback OF putting
the woman in a position of sometimes
being obliged or wishing TO refuse when
for some special reason she does not
care to receive the man. The feeling
fs so strong in this country that the
Initiative should lie with the woman
that many men would not ask. however
much they might wish to. 1t Is there
fore more customary for a woman 10
take the matter into her own hands.
She can usually tell whether a man is
| likely to wish to be on her visiting liss,
and il is very simple for her 10 say
that she and her mother OF sister would
be glad TO see him. 1t is also good form

DANCING STEPS TO DEVELOP
CRACEFuLNESS AND GOOD POSE
Muscles Limbered and Balance Gained by Simple
Ballet Moven1ent-Bending From Back.

If the muscles are kept rigid. They
must be supple and relaxed.
Begin by advancing the right foot, at
the same time projecting the body
slighly forward by rising on the toes of
the left foot If the muscles are re-
laxed properly almost instinctively the
arms rise to help balance. and they
may take their own curves as long as
they are curves and are not stiff either
in muscles or effect. Next SHIFT the
weight to the right foot. rising 10 the
the right foot from the floor. keeping
the toes always pointed out and down,
the bend being made from the knee
This knee bend actually draws the foot
| from the floor, and to describe a revolu-
ton the right toes POINT toward the
/ back. a quick turn is made with the
right foot we'll out at the very back,
| and at the end one comes back to the
first position.
The thing to try for IN this is bal
ance. and 1t is attained naturally by
| keeping the body limp. more or less

regardless of the position. If they are
| linn it is perfect balance alone that
viii prevent a falling over. The arms
serve tc balance quite as a long pole
assists a tightrope walker. but they are
! to bend and wave with very move
ment OF the body.
| When this has been done with one
foot it should be repeated with the
| other slowly at first, until the move
ment has been perfectly learned. Then
the time should be increased very slowly
and at best it is never done fast.
Another movement that may be tried
at the same time, which is tremendous
aid to grace. is to bend backward from
the waist as far as one can. One should
| stand firmly on both feet and clasp the
hands lightly. Then raise them over the
head and begin 10 bend backward. Al
first one can go only little distance
but as practice limbers the muscles the
bend will be lower and lower The chief
difficulty that a beginner has 70 over
come in this is keeping the neck timber
The instinct is to hold the neck stiff
and not bend the head, but all muscles
must be limp and the head then bends
on its own account. Those who have
tried IL will see that this exercise call:

who should be willing to work to ac-
Quire them. Not only then do they walk
better, but gowns hang more effective
ly, and indeed everything worn Is pref
tier, for 1t is carried TO the best ad-
vantage
The preliminary steps of ballet dane
ing are among the best ways of cultivat-
Ing poise and grace, and the move
ments are not difficult. They require
perfect balance and patient practice; be-
yond that nothing but little time daily
and persistency. OF course If the steps
are done with great physical effort they
VIII serve to take off superhuous flesh.
but a thin woman need not hesitate on
this account TO do them slowly, which
viii not lessen their grace. They will not
cause her 10 lose an ounce of flesh.
To aid in bringing about desirable sup
pleness il would be well to rub the
muscles with an oil much used by
foreign dancers. 1t not only eases the
muscles. but will help to prevent stiff
ness so likely to follow at first. The
ointment is made of one ounce Of orange
flower water. one ounce OF Portugal ex-
tract, one gill of white brandy, four
ounces of mutton tallow. three ounces
of olive oil, one and one-half ounces OF
white wax and one-half grain of violet
essence.
Melt the wax and tallow in an earthen
dish set in a basin of hot water. Add
| the oil. remove from the heat and beat
! in the orange flower water. Mix the
| extract and brandy, and then put drop
| by drop into the melted fats, beating al
the time. Last put an the violet Anoint

SHERLOCK HOLMES
ON ORPHEUM STAGE

Sherlock Holmes vas introduced last
evening at the Orpheum by the Ma
tional Stock Com pany to a large and
appreciative audience. For the first
performance the company selected an
admirable play, the cast showing to
good advantage throughout.
Richard BUTLER and his players pre-
scented the improbable detective story,
fancies, in a manner to bring hearty
applause. Mr.. Butler was clever in
his Interpretation of the title role. The
play is melodramatic in the extreme.
but being a Conan Doyle play, it must
necessarily be so or it wouldn't be
recognized. The famous scene in which
the lighted cigar plays an important
part, where Holmes sticks the stub
in a crevice in a, wall, TO which the
villains are attracted, was especially
we'll done.
Miss Lillian Hayward is convincing
player, and as the crafty adventures
showed peculiar talent. Miss Brenda
Fowler, as the unfortunate young
woman in the case, received hearty ap-
plause in several situations. Ernest
Wilkes as DR.. Watson, H. L. Auerbach
as Sidney Prince, the Cockney safe
VIM. Gleason as John Forman
and Juliette Chandler as Therese. were
excellent.
