The first turner societies in the
United States were founded in Phil
adelphia and Cincinnati in 1s4s and
shortly after the New York Turnverein
had its start in Hoboken, says Ralph d.
Paine in Outing. Two years later ten So
cieties were flourishing. and these Were
formed into national turner union. The
revolutionary spirit which blazed fiercely
in Germany in 1s4s was crushed for the
time and many patriots o. superior edu-
cation and intelligence fed to this coun-
try as an asylum. They were strangers
with the native-born, and sociability was
limited to intercourse with their own
countrymen.
They had been turner's at home, using
this organization as a nursery Of pa
triotism, in which high ideals of political,
social and religious progress were cher
ished: together with the training OF the
body for the hardships of the field and
camp. This ideal of classic times wisely
reincarnated in modern Germany to serve
a nations needs, was transplanted to the
United States by the fortune of war. The
turner societies aroused some antag-
onism, based on the specious claim that
they were an attempt to create state
within a state and to keep the Germans
apart from the life around them. This
contention was magnifcently shattered a
little more than a decade after the first
turner's were organized in this country.

Therefore, when Max O'Rell remarked
a few years ago that by judicious CO.

the cultivation of amiability a factor
as well as exercise. diet and care In
regard to the toilet.
To be beautiful, to be charming. to
be loved and to love is the French
womans aspiration. She recognizes
this as her feminine mission. And her
coQuetry is but a natural expression
of this ambition of hers. Though her
interests are domestic, artistic. musical
or literary, still she does not lose her
