Creation of Woman

"our fable of the creation of woman
Is more poetical than your Christian one,
which forms woman out of a mans rib
said Hindu as he watched the girls bath
ing in the sea. Listen. and see If you
don't agree with me.
''Twashtri, at the beginning of time,
created the universe and man, but wher
he came to create woman he found that !
he had exhausted his materials and no
solid elements remained.
"Twashtri unused while. Then an idea
came to him. and in order to make the
first woman he took moonlight and the
undulations of the serpent, the slenderness
of reeds and their soft movement in the
wind, the tears of raincloud, the velvet
of flower petals, the grace of roe, thst.
tremor Of grasses, the vanity of the pea.

Common Sense in Everything Will Bring You
Beauty" Says Miss Gladys Hansen ~..

at once the simplest, best known and the
most effioacious. sg.
Here are some of them, which Miss
Hanson did for, me, and which she does
every day. e'.. #s.
She stands erect with her hands clasped
behind her head, and lifts the waist
muscles and the chest box, stretching the
body up az far as possible, The same
position is held while the upper part of
the muscles being still stretched and the
chest held UP: -.s $50
There Is nothing so good as these
stretching exercises" exclaimed Miss
Hanson, especially for tall girls, Tall
women are apt to become over-eonsclous
of their height, and that makes them
stiff; of course, a mental stiffness or
self-consciousnes corresponds to the
physical. and II you can Keep your body
supple and elastic, and your muscles will
stretch, you have done good deal
toward keeping your mind active, too.
Women grow old because they become
set, set In their habits OF thought, and
equally set in their muscle structure.
| II hasn't anything to do with years,
for you often see girls hardly out Of
their teens, whose figures show this set
tied, inelastic attitude. which is as
much mental as it Is physical I'm
positive that all these exercises Of the
body which keep the muscles flexible,
especially the waist muscles and shoul-
der muscles, have an effect on the at
ttude of mind as well as on the poise
Of the body.
Mind and body are so closely inter-
woven, and one reacts on the other 50
continually, that IL seems shameful to
neglect the physical any more than we
would neglect the intellectual side Of life.
Both play an equally important part In
this chase after health and beauty.
when was In Mrs. Fiskes company
learned something from her which has
been a help to retain her wonderful
freshness which she brings to her stage
work every night.
mo matter what happens, Mrs. Ftske
takes half ap hour Of complete rest
Just before the performance. She never
devates from this rule, and have tried
to follow her, but I'm afraid I'm not
as strict as she is. and something often
turns up which cuts out this half hour
of repose, but it is an extraordinary
way of keying ones self up for the per-
formance, in which one wants to give
Of ones best, and for which one must
ba refreshed both mentally and phys-
cally.
There, now, that is really all I can
think Of that has anything to do with
health or beauty; just diet exercise
and rest; the Oldest and simplest things
In the world but women have got to
come back to them If they want to be-
beautiful" concluded Miss Hanson Tn
less they are beautiful already, by the
grace OF nature, as Is this talented and
charming girl whose brilliant future is
still before her.

is the question of diet. / am sure il is
with me, especially when l go home to
Atlanta, where I have to withstand the
temptation of the most wonderful lemon
nerlngue pies and jumbles, and all sorts
of other things prepared especially for me
by our old cook. Her grief is really
pathetic, when she watches me refuse
one after another my old favorite dishes,
and she moans as she stands in the door
way. oh, Ian, our Miss Baby she done
get all these queer Yankee notions, she
won't eat nothin NOR That's what our
old cook thinks about my efforts of diet

To Marry or Not To Marry
Selected by EDWIN MARKHAM

since founding a family is more diff
cult undertaking than making q Journey,
one need not be astonished at the num-
Der of fatalities. .sy
Even II the institution of marriage,
were as intelllgently and carefully brought
up to date as railroad systems are, It,
would still remain dangerous to llve~
either in or out of marriage. ~
And yet the danger could be greatly
reduced by proper education of youthsJ#
AT present we are educating 10,O 900 girA
In the state schools of America, and az
many boys, They are spending eight te
twelve years. under the direction of deli
bate women teachers, sharpening their
intelligence. Their most important work
in life is to be the making of homes, but
they are supposed to master this art
through initiating the home in which
they grow up. Many of these are un.
worthy of imitation. and they are all In,
process of transition. 5t
Every girl should be trained in ham.
ding an income and in spending money !
wisely. She should have general knowI-
edge OF household sanitation, OF water
supply and sewage, OF foods and their
preparation. She should know about
clothes, their cost, wearing qualities and
decorative values. She should have a
sense Of the family and its Significance
In life.
She should have the beginnings of a
eugenie conscience established In her, and
she should know something of the care
OF infancy. All this should be given In
the school, II it Is not definitely given in
the homei and no girl who goes through
the eighth grade should escape 1t.
Before the girl is married, she should
have wise counsel from mature women
who have lived and learned the art of
living Boys should, of course. also be
trained In comparable directions for this
great part Of their lives.
Something is already being done In
this direction through the establishing of
special courses In domestic science, and
allied branches In our schools The fact
that educational leaders are awake TO
the need was shown by the applause that
followed Superintendent Harvey's plea {
for this training In his paper on the edus
cation Of girls at the superintendents' as
ISOLATION in st. Louis in February. 1912.
The leading educators of the country
greeted his plea with an enthusiasm
called out by no other paper of the ses-
sion.
I'm married life the woman should be
as free as the man. an equal financial
partner. and should share in all the social
and political opportunities of the COM
munity. When she bears children, she,t
should have special protection, support
and reverence; and support should come
from the father of her children. If he
fails her, then the group, in its capacity,
as a state should care for her honora.a
bly,. But to justify this protection and
reverence, she should bring to her special
functions as mother of the generations
a strong body, an intelligent mind, a.
eugenio conscience and an absolute devo- 8

cal business when I told him that was

which Miss Gladys Hanson is playing,

heard that so often, but think better of
his Judgment now, and indeed, | shouldn't
wonder II he were right.
Miss Hanson hasn't been in New York
enough for our theatergoers to become
very familiar with her until this season
Indeed, she hasn't been on the stage very
long, and l found her looking much
younger even as Gladys Hanson at her
hotel than as Katherine Strickland on
the stage of the Republic theater.
1t is pleasant to say that she is really
and truly beautiful A tall and most dis
tinguished looking girl, with a small, aris-
tocratic head beautifully set upon a pair
Of handsome shoulders, her face is per-
feet oval with the pointed chin of the
early Italian artists, her eyes a gray
blue, are set in their sockets with ma
ture's own smutty fingers, a beauty which
one cannot initiate, despite all the best
eyelash pencils.
Now 1 am really going to tell you
everything know about the beauty ques-
tion," said Miss Hanson in charmngly
modulated voice, which has delicious
trace of southern accent, as she leaned
forward in her chair and looked at me
with a serious determination to be con-
scientious and to stick to the subject of
the interview.

problems of the time. Speaking OF the
career of matrimony for women, MIR.

pulled over the large mirror that was

But the ceiling was higher than in
the old apartment, and. the wire that
was ON the mirror was too short.

There's some picture wire in that"
This won't be strong enough" objected
Della sullenly as she brought in the box
at amt as heavy as what's on there. >
Il can double it. There" as Helen
twisted the wire and fastened it securely
"That'll hold it. Now, how'll / cut this?
See If you can find those old kitchen
scissors
But just then the doorbell rang and
Della had ID answer it.
IA man to see you, ma am"
Helen took off her working gloves
smoethed back her hair and went to the
door, But 1t was only a man from Clear
Creek dairy soliciting their milk trade.
I'VE serve most Of the families in this
a trial. You'll find our milk the very
best.'
1t was the third dairyman who had
been there that morning, all claiming that
they served most of the families in the
house"
Della, find out what these men want
before you call me tc the door again" tn
struoted Helen impatiently.
Helen was up on the stepladder and
Della was just handing up the mirror
when the bell rang again.
oh, what nuisance" exclaimed
Helen, angrily.
It's a spring water man, ma am,
handing her card. He says he'd like
to speak to you"
Tell him I'm too busy to see any one
Besides. we don't want any spring water"
Now. do hold this" as Della came
back. Wen never get this mirror up,
Oh, my. ! believe IT'S still going to be
too highi I didn't make that piece long
enough"
But Della showed plainly that she OBJ
jected to again taking down the heavy
mirror that Helen reluctantly let it go.
We'll, 1 suppose that'll have to do
now; I'll get Mr. Curtis to lengthen it
tonight. AT least it's up out of the way.
Now let's get the curtains
As there were no window seats in the
bedroom, the curtains were just the right
length, so it took only few moments to
put up the rods and hang them.
"There, they hang beautifully" ex-
claimed Helen. And don't they look
well? Nothing improves a room so much
as curtains. Now let's see about the ones
for,the dining room"
But the woodwork in the dining room
was Flemish oak and so hard that it was
almost impossible to screw up the fix
