Scholars Would Not stand to See
Mueh.Loved Teacher Not Get

The following incident told OF pub
lie school teacher of CHEEKY manner
and marked ability, noted for her sue
cess in leading backward or unwilling
pupils along the rocky road of knowl-
edge.
In laboring with an especially try
ing class she was wont TO encourage
the members by such confident re-
marks as "Of course we can do IT."
"Of course we can learn this lesson as
well as other people, II we tryi" As
examination time drew near and the
little ones became more nervous. she
changed her tune TO "Of course we're
going to passl" The children did pass,
duly, but, natural pleasure In the I'M
expected success having evaporated,
were sulky and disagreeable almost be-
yond belief. II took their new teacher
a long time to get at the root of the
misunderstanding. over which they
whispered in corners and because OF
which they treated her like bitter
enemy. At last. however, she drew
from the most pliable youngster this
indignant. fearful admission:
I'VE amt a-goin ter study no more
in this darned ole school Here, we
come up from Miss Blanks room, an
she stays down there all alone. when
she knows so much more than we do
It's plumb shame, that they didn't

Splitting Paper.

Here are two good ways to split a
piece of paper: First, lay the paper
on a piece of glass. soak It thoroughly
with water and then press 1t smoothly
over the glass. BY using care. the
upper half of the sheet can then be
peeled off. leaving the under half on
the glass. When dry It will come off
easily Be sure that the glass is per-
fectly clean.
Second, paste piece OF cloth or
strong paper on each side of the paper
to be split. When It is thoroughly dry,
suddenly and violently pull the two
pieces of cloth apart Then soften the
paste with water and take the two
halves of the sheet from the cloths.

There are six sorts of people at

kindness. The narrow minded think

Haiti and Beauty.

Health and Beauty
Dear American ladies, you are not
very graceful. You are very beauti-
full, and you wear marvellous toilets,
but you are not exceedingly graceful.
I wonder why. Shall | tell you some
thing l have sometimes thought since
I came to your countryf
Grace, real grace, is founded on nat
ural, normal, perfect health. No, I do
not mean the robust; l e the virile,
sinuous and supple. The big hips, the
fat shoulders, are as unhealthy and
unnatural as scrawniness and amaze
mia. Is there anything finer to see,
more beautiful. than the absolutely
sure grace of any living creature en-
tirely healthy? / think not.
Now you are going TO ask me what
these things I am saying have to do
with you. Must ! make myself plain
err? I have just explained that almost
any normal, healthy living creature is
naturally graceful. Well. then. can
you not conceive that an unhealthy
and abnormal creature might almost
as necessarily be AWKWARD
No, I am not saying oil American
women are unhealthy and abnormal;
but. to tell you the truth. it has some
times occurred to- me that a little more
work. NEAR by that definite and
healthy occupation-would make the
women of your country healthier and
| happier, more normal and more grace
full.
Dear American ladies, never stand
with your weight evenly divided, your
heels together and your shoulders
| squared-that is. eve stand In this
position unless you wish to look like @
| German officer on parade. A woman's
| body as she stands In a drawing room
or pauses to speak to a friend should
always be relaxed. / call all the great
Greek statuary to bear witness that
what l say is SO.
Remember that charming broken
line on the left side Of the Venus de
| Miio-the long. graceful sweep Of the
right side. That is the ideal of what
/ mean.
Always allow the weight Of the body
| TO rest more on a loot than On the
other. Have the foot which is not
bearing the weight lightly touching
the ground. After all, 1T is but balanc-
ing the body.
Allow the entire side Of the torso
to relax with the foot and limb which
is Sinking the burden. That let's the
hip and the shoulder down, throws up
slightly and eharmingly the hip and
shoulder supporting the weight. The
attitude ia graceful. natural, altogetA-
