POLA|RE STILL IS
AMUSING PARIS
Risque Songs and ScantiIy Clad
Dancers Are Features of the
Summer Garden Parties.

PARIS, July 25.-The summer, which
+ set in so early and with such unusual
heat, has proved so capricious and the
weather reports received from all
mountain and seaside resorts so dis
couraging that thousands of people who
would never think OF spending the sum-
mer here have repeatedly postponed
their departure for cooler places and
Paris is doing all she can to detain
them as long as possible.
Paris now boils and roars; the air is
heavy and the sun beats fiercely on the
mad crowds that rush through the
streets. And what does this insane
race mean? 1t is a race not to be late
for anything, to sell as much as posi-
Bile, to make as much money as posi-
Able before the inevitable departure of
Hhe money spenders from Paris for the
fashionable seaside resorts.

women are shocking the modistes and

has prevented women from moving
their legs, which has ordered them to
wear furs in July and linen gowns In

Thes women at teas and garden par
ties are wearing costly silk or linen
gowns Of studied simplicity picture

parasols. Fans are banned.
The gentlemen wear blue or iron
gray cutaways or morning coats and
silk hats, and a carnation or corbfower
in the buttonhole, gray gloves and pat
ent leather shoes with gray cloth tops
Dressed in Next to Nothing.
AS often as not, the 'gouter' is the
only attraction of these parties. When
the sign is given all make rush for
the buffet. At other times the host has
provided an entertainment to keep his
guests from sneaking away imme-
diately after satisfying their material
needs.
At a garden party given by the
Duchess of Dondeauville recently, after
the "gouter" the guests went to ar
open-air theater. On the stage stood
Mile Polaire, who is still as popular as
she is ugly, and the audience went al
most into spasms as she sang hel
songs, which were certainly mos
risque. After her came beautiful Mile
Dorziat, the actress, performing for the

OF physical culture for 81 years. He
believes that children must be strong
to be successful in the battle of life
He believes also they will never grow
as strong as they ought to unless their
parents take them in hand.
Here is the MCGEE system:
Start with your children when they
are month old. Too young, you say?
Nonsense. Put your fingers out and
the child will grab them. Pull him (for
convenience We'll say he's a boy,
though it works as we'll with GRID up
from a reclining position as far as he
will hold on. Keep this up a few weeks,
trying it few minutes a day, and you
will be able to pull the child up to a
sitting posture.
Hold 1t by Its Fingers.
IF the child is healthy and normally
strong. you can hold it in midair by
its fingers by the time it Is three months
old.
Gradually teach the child other lit
tie tricks.
For instance:
Roll it around on the floor.
"Pick it up by its feet"
pick it up by it's head. Don't let its
mother see this going on at first or
she'll call 1t murder Do 1t gently and
there's no danger.
Make it play wheelbarrow
when my first child was three years
old l bought him tiny pair of dumb
bells. BY the time he was five he could
swing them we'll enough to give exhi-
billions Club swinging is good If you
know enough about it to teach the
child. If you don't, try something else.
Make Play of It.
THE idea is to teach the children
whatever you know best.
BE sure to make play of X. II the
children regard it as work, they will
get neither pleasure nor development
out of 1t. Don't be too dignifed to make
a romp of 1t. If you can't get down on
the floor and throw somersaults with
the children it is time you learned
The MCGEE children are impressive
advertisements for the MCGEE physical
culture system. The older ones. boy
and girl, can do lots of circus stunts;
can box like professionals and are as
hard as nails.
The youngest, little shaver no big
ger than a pint of cider, can do more
tricks than the average grown man.
one is to stand on his feet, his hands
and his head, with his little torso,
otummy" up, forming perfect arch
which is some trick for the average
grown man. Another is to stand erect
on his fathers hand, held high in air.
His feature performance is the lifting
of a 0-pound weight OF course he
doesn't actually lift it. But he seizes
the weight and his father puts his
hands under the baby's arms and locks
them together on his chest, Then the
father lifts and the baby, holding the
weight comes up, too Sometimes for
as long as a minute he holds the weight
suspended. Then his fingers relax and
it drops That it is a real 50pound
weight the photographer will testify.
He nearly broke his back trying to
lift it.

Haunting strains of wild melodies.
Piercing notes as of mad deaths throes
Sounding alike over land and seas.
Born on the gale or the lingering breeze.

Ringing with sorrow is each of these

Pictures of life. in supernal pose.
Striving to meet mad whim's DEGREES;
Deserts of waters. of sands of SHOWS:
Haunted cities of storm-wrecked trees:
Specters that stand on their trembling knees
Crying to Gods of the long ago.
Anguished their prayers for quick release
Tell me my loved one. it is not so?
Stories that stand in enduring prose.
Caught for the moment to fancy please:
Tales of great heroes that long since rose;
Tales of the men of eternities;
Sordid and hollow. what each soul sees,
Commonplace tales such as all men know:
Sorrow is here in it's bitt'rest lees

American
Opportunities
Sherlock

An optimistical view of this ma
ton as it stands to-day is, that it is
steadily advancing year by year;
that annually there is marked on the
pages of progressive record, some
new Achievement, some enterprise
successfully launched; that the evil
forces are being crowded out by the
good and that for every heart-ache
and sigh there is smile.
In all the branches of the profess
sional and technical world, there
has been made great strides. In
fact all walks of life have advanced
themselves more or less. This gen.
Grafton does not enjoy longlevity as
did our foreparents. but we are liv
ing faster, seeing more, and can ac-
complish in days what would take
them weeks.
The progressive ideas that has
characterized the American people
in the past decade will prevail.
America, orarther the United States
is rapidly advancing under the get-to-
gether idea which has predom-
mated. Many improvments which
are everlasting monuments to their
originators are now seen on every
hand, placed there by those who
have worked and labored for the
advancement of this nation.
The United States is the most
promising nation flying colors, and
is distined to lead all other nations
in federal government, enginery,
and social enlightenment. A SO

success. The people, as a unit, are
fast realizing this fact and are band
ing their efforts in conservation of the
vast wealth of resources. Large and
comprehensive studies have been
made with this end in view, the for
ests, sources of water supply, arabic
and mineral lands, and all other
material resources are being trained
to serve the people, and not be the
slaves of corporations as has been
the custom hitherto.
With all the achievements and
glory heaped upon the throne of this
nation it is. to large degree, still
infested with the usual quota of mud
singers, muckrakers, pessimists and
narrow visioned people, who are to
a nations progress, what a brake is
to a carwheel. They have been the
one great enigma to this nation, and
must be gotten rid of, gently if poss-
ible, forcible if necessary, fol- they
are an impediment to this nations
progress.
Factions, that in the Last have
left nothing but ruin and discomfort
in their path, it is hoped, will be
relegated to oblivion. No country
can advance when warning factions
are graphing at it's throat. The
more progressive of today realize
the damage done by these Internal
agitators, and disturbers of the social
peace, and are therefore taking
| active measures to relieve them
from control and give them seats
outside the ring of commerce.
One of the greatest opportunities
America has today is the traffacking
in senic beauty. To a nation this is
valuable asset, but with the superb

land could not be considered rival

Did you ever stop to think the
value of addition, subtraction, diyis-

fact to every human being? Why,
just these four subjects of arithmetic |
alone are the basisdirectly or Indirect

perhaps who are not able to work
the simplest example in arithmetic,

it is not only disgrace to be lgnor-

ant and when you have every oppor-
tunity given you to better your con-

Lincoln, think of the opportunities
they had in their day, compare those
opportunities with the ones you
have today. Think of what they
accomplished through study and
