The Hands

There is an art in the use of the
hands so that such beauty as they
possess may be emphasized. Actors
and actresses use only the thumb and
first two fingers in making gestures,
and the reason for this is to make the
hand appear slender. A supple wrist
may be cultivated by letting the hands
hang loosely and shaking them freely
from the wrist. This movement lin
bers the cords and muscles and the
hand is more easily and gracefully used.
When the hand is to be lifted. the
arm from the wrist to the elbow should
come up first, the hand hanging free
and not being raised until the wrist
is on level with the object to be
touched.
In repose the hand should not be
kept closed, as that position accentu-
ates the breadth. A graceful pose of
the hand is obtained by bending it at
the knuckle joints and curving in the
little and fourth fingers. Crooking the
little finger and letting it stick out
is extremely ungraeeful. The best pos
sible way is to bend down from the
knuckle joint the little finger and let
the fourth have a similar angle. By
this attitude the width is materially
decreased, and with the other fingers
made long by proper use the hand be-
comes attractive.

"The Girl Question"
By Walter Anthony

The answer 10 The Girl Question" is
a show at the Van Ness theater this
week that is witty and bright in its
lines; curved and aliuring with the dear
causes Of the Interrogation; lively with
dances; gay with many costumes; clean
and wholesome in its tone, and well
lit up with electric effects and catchy
music. Though il is a musical comedy
ii contains the best there is in such a
performance without the offense of vul-
garity that musical comedy usually
brings, Yet still lacks nothing of merri-
ment, good natured fun or femininity.
It IS built something like a George
Cohan musical play. for it has a plot
not a deep dyed murder plot, but a
plot that serves to string the piece
along for three acts. with the aid of the
girls who sing and dance. 1t is a self
respecting plot, too, like a melodrama
has. There is the real love affair and
the comic love affair, but neither dra-
matte issue trips up the bunch OF

SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH MONEY.
One Pupil In New York Acted az the
Family Bank.

Where do school children get all
the money they take to SCHOOL," was
asked a New York teacher who was
worrying over the frequent thefts
from the pupils in her room.
Il don't know" she said. 1.-THE stu
alton is puzzling. 1t is fact that
almost every child brings money to
school. Many Of them have only a
cent to buy doughnut or stick Of
candy, but others carry surprisingly
large sums. Not long ago the charges
Of theft were so frequent in my room
that l tried to stop this universal
carrying Of money. I asked the moth
ers not to give their children money
during school hours, except In cases
where 1t was really needed to buy
luncheon. Many Of them promised to
cut of the allowance, but the small
coins continued to circulate just the
same. A few mothers declared that
they gave the children money for safe
keeping. l learned that one girl in
my class came to school day after day
with from $40 to $50 pinned in her
clothes. The father spent everything
he could lay his hands on, and as the
little girls garments were the only
place where he could never find the
money she was converted into the
family bank"
The plan seemed to work, so far as
the spendthrift father was concerned,
but 1t worried the teacher
