EXPRESSION BEYOND SONG
French Saying Is That What Cannot
 Be Sung Can Be Danced

Bliss Carman in the Metropolitan. There Is a French saying to the effect that What cannot be said can be sung and what cannot be sung can be danced" It is just tribute to that joyous and delightful art, which in the past few years has begun to come into it's own again; like lovely Cinderella long discredited and restored at length to her lawful es- tate among her scornful sisters.
 There is, indeed, whole world of significant expressions beyond the realms of speech and song. There are delicate shades of meaning too subtle to be con- veyed in words, which can only be ren- dered by infexion and intonation: and there are still other eloquent revelations of personality which are not uttered at all, but are abundantly and unmistal,- ably indicated in the silent language of motion.
 It is not deliberate gesture alone that proclaims our thoughts in this tacit way. Every unconscious movement betrays the inward being, and habitual walk and car riage are indelibly stamped with char acter. The spoken word may avow sim cerity and friendliness; but ir the glance shifts and the head Is turned aside, we are not deceived; voice may have lied, but body has spoken the truth.
 I have recently been very much inter ested in what may be described as modification of the dancers art in whicn the poetic theme or story of the dance is recited to the accompaniment of the dancing. It is thus blend or the three rhythmic arts of poetry, dancing and music.
 It differs from acting in always being given to music, and from ordinary dancing in always being accompanied by words. Its nearest prototype IS the old ballad, which was sung to the rhythmic accompaniment of a dancing chorus; yet it differs from this also, in that the verse may be spoken well as sung.
 The words may be in monologue norm spoken by the performer; or. where the dance Is too rapid and absorbing to per init the simultaneous use of the voice, they maye be spoken by an accompanying reader. These pieces of lyric acting or interpretive motive, if you do not choose to call them dances, might be called Rhythmics. until some one shall suggest better name for them.

Sees Her Stolen Dress

From the New York Times. A satin wedding dress a diamond ring
 a diamond locket and chain and a quantity of silverware were stolen on August Il from the apartment of MT and Mrs. Morris Bahner, in the rear of their furnishing store at 331 Eighth ave- nue. The occurrence made a deep im- pression on the minds of both of them and it has been the. leading topic of their discussions ever since. Sunday afternoon, when they sat together in front of their store, the burglary was the thing they were talking about 'It is strange" remarked Lahner for | the hundreth time. "The windows and doors were locked. How could they have got in? I say it must have been | by the skylight.
 | Mrs. Lahner did not reply. She had | her eyes on a woman who was walking on the sidewalk towards the store. This | woman was clad in satin resembling that of the stolen wedding dress Mrs | Iahner waited till she passed so close | that the ornaments she was wearing could be plainly seen
 Look, Norris" she exclaimed. That woman is wearing my dress" They both got up and called out, and the woman turned around. Mrs. Lah- ner swept her from head to foot with ! critical glance. and said in a tone of conviction
 "Yes. and she is wearing my locket and chain"
 "Youre mistaken" explained the wo-
 man. This is my property, given to
 me by my husband"
 There's no mistake about it." declar-
 ed Mrs. Lahner "I would know that
 locket and chain in China. The dress is
 the same one. only 1t has been altered
 a little.'
 Iahner detained the woman while his wife notified Policeman Teator of the West Seventieth street station. The woman who described herself as Mrs.
 Joseph Scott of 26 West Twenty fifth street, was locked up on a charge of receiving stolen property. She told the police that she had been married eight months and that her husband was vaudeville actor out of employment On Monday last. according to her story he announced:
 Alice. have surprise for you. bought you a dress and a lock ct and
 chain. I think the dress is a little too
 long. I bought them from friend" After questioning the prisoner close
 ly. detectives arrested in front of the 1 address she gave a man, who they say first described himself as Joseph
 Scott" and later as Joseph Depolo" I"
 According to the detectives, he declared when confronted by the woman and be-
 fore being informed on what charge she
 was being held:
 "I don't know anything about the
 robbery I bought the dress and the
 locket and chain from a man in Eighth
 avenue" Depolo was locked up on a
 charge of burglary.
 The woman, the police say. finally ad-
 nitted she was Mabel Stone, of Easr
 Boston, Mass. Her father. she said.
 lived there at Shelby street.
 After being informed that Depo1o, to
 whom the young woman said she had
 been married. was being held on a
 charge of burglary. she said: "I thought his name was Scott and so I took that name. What have I done that should be held? would not steal
 a hair from a cat"

Jabe's Departure

From the Kansas City Star.
 "Jabe Mathis" said General Longstreet ''of the Thirteenth Georgia, was good Yoldier. but one day, when the Confed crates were retreating from the gory field of Gettysburg, Jabe threw his musket on the ground. seated himself by the roadside and exclaimed with vehe mence: I'll be doggone if I walk another stepl I can't do it.. And Jabe was the icture of despair.
 " Get up, man. exclaimed the captain: don't you know the Yankees are follow Ing us? They'll get you, sure
 "'Cant help it. said Jabe; Pm done for: I'll not march another step.'
 'The Confederates passed along over the crest of a hill and lost sight of poor, de1ected Jabe. In a moment there was a fresh rattle of musketry and renewed crash of shells Suddenly Jabe appeared on the crest of the hill, moving with hur- ricane swiftness and followed by a cloud of dust. As he dashed by his captain that officer said:
 Hello, Jabe Thought you wasn't going to march any more?
 " Thunder replied Jabe as he hit the dust with renewed vigor, you don't cal. this marching, do you?
