BE NATURAL BE YOURSELF"
MAUD ALLAN SAYS PEOPLE SHOULD EXPRESS THEIR
 FEELINGS
The Dancer Stamped Her Foot and Raved at the Customs Official. Country Is Source, of Inspir-
 ation for Her Dances.

Lose your tempers once in a while, as I did with the customs of ficial in New York. l held him by the button of his coat. just like this" Miss Maude Allan, who has come to revive the Greek dance in Boston. daintily snatched at nothing in the air. and then I stamped my foot vent to their feelings enough Be natural; be yourself
 Miss Allan was dining in the Tou- raine on steak and apple pie, and she says she never gets real Die until one gets to New England, says the Boston Herald. She was talking at the same time about dimpled brooks and waving trees. Chopins maZurkas. aeroplanes and the art of dancing.
 Tall. with a wealth of soft brown hair, that she knows how to coil effectively about her oval face, Miss Allan, who was gowned last night in clinging affair of brown. is good 70 look upon.
 Plea for Simplicity.
 If people would only be more nat ural,' continued the dancer. An, you are too restrained. You say to your children. Do not laugh, do not skip about, you are getting to be big girl now Then they grow up so conventional. so stupid. If you are light hearted-dancei Dance with your arms. dance with your face. dance with your neck, but dance nat urally.
 I mo dn iS to tell their children when they can skip about. instead of making them sit up with their backs glued to the chGir and their feet and hands Just so. Help the child in expressing her self. help her to make her body ex- pressive. I never dreamed of the beauty that the human body could speak till I saw Sarah Bernhardt when I was little girl Everybody cannot be like Mime. Bernhardt, th. dear no, she is~ great artist-but think how much more comfortable you could be if you were just yourself.
 Simplicity is what I love best in any one l have no patience with fad dists. l try to dress simply. See you would never turn around to stara at this simple. square necked gown. All l want is things that are pretty. comfortable and not outre. live simply. and eat simple things.
 The City All Diseord.
 That is why l love the country. I get all my dances from just listening to the brooks and the wind in iile tall grass I dance out what it means to me Could l dance out what city means to me? Could I dance Boston? Oh, no. no. big city is' all crashing and hurrying, the people you see are just trying to get ahead of somebody else, the smoke stifles you. I know there is the inspiration. the intensity. but all I can see in city is artificiality. It has no har- monies IL is all discord.'
 Acting every word with the boise of her head, the movement of her Ions white arms Miss Allan fairly crouch ed down m her chair with horror.
 .-But we are trying to put Miss Allan to bed.r protested Miss Violet Carl Rosa. The subject. whose large blue eyes were wider awake than ever. laughed .infectiously. and started off on the customs officials. Miss Rosa fell back in utter despair.
 They made me tell them every thing that I had and they taxed me for my stage clothes. Even the llt- tie dancing dresses of mine that are hardly clothes at all. And they made me sign a bond of 5000 that I would take them out of the country when go. even to four boxes of toilet powder What will they do if l use it upg"
