Girls Dancing Dresses.

Chiffon in almost all. instances is the
favored material for dancing dresses.
Solid colors, as well as printed floral
designs, are used In developing dresses
IN this material. The foundations are OF
satin, in self or harmoniZing colors, and
the chiffon Is invariably arranged in
tunic form. The present sleeve is used
IN dresses OF this type, although the set

rect, Is also used Many Of the dresses
nave the sleeves made in one with the
waist, with the trimming so arranged
that the severity Of the shoulder line Is
relieved. Bead trimmings. as well as
metal effects. are used largely for this
purpose. Fringes OF beads are used to
quite an extent, and make a pretty fin
ish for the foot Of the tunies. Rosebuds
or satin ribbon ara among the attractive
trimmings for dancing frocks. and are

In the way OF physical enjoyment than

Killed for Protection.
In the early years Of our land women
were obliged TO kill wild animals to pro
tect their homes and children and to pro
vide food for the family while the men
folk were away from home.
To kill for sslf-protection or preserya-
ton is quite apart from killing for the
wanton pleasure of an idle mind
To the minds that are not dwarfed and
impoverished by wrong thoughts and
lack Of ideals life is ablaze with wonder

There are innumerable avenues for peo-

in virile sports and healthful pleasures
which do not mean death or destruction

Mr.. Shaw once told her that the rea-
son the women in his plays were so un-
commonly good was that he always
assumed that a woman was Just like a
man. II was true, he admitted after
ward. that men were slightly more hy-
sterical. but he attributed that to their
being coddled by women from their child
hood. That was the SHAW secret. II there
was any Shaw secret, and II was a very
agreeable secret to a numan being OF

separate and fabulous species called n
woman or a true woman or, worst
of all, "a womanly woman"

ny JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

While she talked of her present work
and the great purpose Of the future. /
interrupted her 10 ask about that first
link in a long chain of splendid accom-
pIishment for womanhood that has been
forged by Mrs. Anna Jenness-MiIer.
When 1 was fifteen years old after the
manner Of young girls, I very much
wanted to be a woman grown. The first
requisite to the attainment OF this end
seemed to my Undeveloped understanding
frankly put the matter TO my mother
when / told her I WAS much too old
TO be going around without cOrsets.
In answer TO my argument, my moth
sr took me to hear Mrs. Jenness-
Miller lecture upon physical culture and
dress improvement. The big auditorium
was filed with listeners eager TO learn
what she had to tell them about the
effect OF muscular exercise upon health;
about the deforming features OF femi-
nine attire. which imprisoned the vital
organs and depleted the forces OF life.
This was fifteen years ago, when col
leges and schools were Just awakening
to the necessity of developing bodies
as well as brains, and Mrs. Jenness-
Miller's gospel of physical development
and artistic dressing was being en-
braced by millions or women.
Beginning of Splendid Work.
How did you come TO do this splen-
did work OF affecting changes that have
remained permanent laws in the matter
OF womans costuming. promoting her
emancipation from so much that was vuI-
gar and grotesque in dress?' 1 asked
wonderingly.
1T came to me without any intention
on my part of so strenuous q work."
she answered me, going back, since 1
insisted upon II, TO the beginning OF those
years, now more than twenty years ago,
when she found life for herself a bur-
den because of manifold physical woes.
I had had so many doctors, and was
so very wretched," she went on, that
I just began thinking 1t all out for my
self / was very young and unwilling
to yield up all my years TO illness. And
when I had reasoned the matter out, l
came TO the conclusion that the cause
rested with me and that Its remedy was
equally mine.
Those were the days OF the big hustle
and other monstrosities of dress. The
corsets that were worn were so heavy and
laced so tight that the vital organs had
no chance Of freedom. no room for de-
velopment, and but space for a very poor
and devitaIized existence
Il began work for my own upbuilding
and the development Of the muscles OF
my body, and I designed for myself
gowns that gave freedom to every muscle
and that were. at the same time, each one
an artistic picture. Lines were what
that would give grace
and freedom TO the human body, bring
ing out all the symmetry Of its curves
and all possible rhythm OF action.

that a group of women gathered infor-
maIly in Washington TO hear me tell how
I had pulled myself from a serious physi-
cal breakdown. That talk led to rapidly

the price Of such a scarf is prohibitive

bands Of ermine across each end, has
turned back over its upper edge a wide
