How to Acquire a Beautiful
Figure Through Dancing.

OF practising it; Point the toes OF the
right foot straight forward and bal
ance the weight firmly on that foot,
Now raise the left leg slowly from
the floor. keeping the foot almost at
right angles 10 the other foot. Lift
the arms slowly. keeping the right
arm held in one continuous line, while
the left is curved at the elbow and
raised at the wrist. The fingers are
held lightly and we'll apart. The whole
body inclines slightly toward the left
when the left arm and leg are express
ing the greater amount Of action. and
when the weight falls in the alternate
pose | always recommend the body
sways TO the raised right foot.
This exercise, like all other dancing
movements, must express lightness
and JOY. for dancing is dancing only
when il comes as an expression of a
happy spirit. Ii must conform TO true
ideals of grace and beauty, and thus

statues and statuettes that decorated
it. For hours at a time | used to copy
the poses of those lovely classical
statues, and | found the greatest en-
tertainment and joy in trying to imi-
tate the beautiful poses. This was the
beginning of my dancing, and from the
taste | acquired for classical pose and
movement has come, feel sure, what
ever measure of bodily grace is mine.
Dancing is essentially feeling, and
the expression of that feeling yelling
up in movement and rhythm. 1t makes
for grace and for strong, healthy, bod
les as no other form of exercise can,
because no other form of exercise is
as universally possible, as entirely
within the reach of all, as this natur-
al expression of the poetry we all
have down in our natures.
Today | am giving you two eXer
cises that express the joy of living to
a wonderful extent and give the body
much to rejoice in, for they make for
grace. for lightness and for the uni
versally desired bodily beauty.
THE FIRST PICTURE.
The first figure is a dainty and sim
pie pose, but it works beautifully into
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-08-11

in time it will bring the body to grace
and beauty, too.
FIGURE TWO
The second figure Obj is an exer-
else that must bring to the body the
lightness of flying, and when once
it is mastered you will find that you
have true grace at your command. In
this, as in so many dancing move
ments, the figure must be poised light
ly on the ball of the foot. Just such
simple movements as poising the body
lightly on the toes or ball of the foot
will help avoid civilizations arch enc
my, flatfoot, and will help in the &C
QUESTION of light. springy walk.
Poise the body lightly on the right
foot, with a general inclination toward
the right. Stretch the right arm up
and out and drop the left arm from
shoulder to just below the waist in
one long curve. Even while the body
is swaying in this position, lift the
left leg from the hip and sway it back
ward from the knee, making one line
from knee to toes and bringing the
foot almost on a level with the knee.
Now stand on the left foot and alter
nate from side to side.
This exercise is by no means easy
to master. but there is no movement
solutely counted on to bring the figure
into the long, graceful, undulating
lines we all so much admire.

{ BY Associated press.)

GAINESVILLE. Ohio, March 80 fvia tele-
phone to Pittsburgh) Relief reached
GAINESVILLE late this afternoon. and for
the first time since the flood came upon
the city last Tuesday the tired civil
and military officers felt that the worst
of tho story had been told. Five ad-
dtions were made to the list of known
dead reported this morning. bringing
the total to ten. and the rcccding wa
ters showed that the best estimates as
to the property damage had not been
exceeded by the facts.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad con-
struction crew, working from New
Concord. succeeded In reaching 4 point
within two miles OF the depot in Zanes-
Vile. and from there heavy wagons
loaded with provisions and clothing,
were sent overland to the city. a
dozen collapsible boats were received
and were at once manned and scnt
through the districts where the our
rent was not too swift to interfere with
their progress. BY this means many
persons were rescued from houses that
for days have been surrounded by wa
ter.
Additional companies of the Ohio Ma
tional Guard arrived during the day
and relieved the soldiers of the local
companies, who have been on duty in
the STREETS. and rigid martial law was
from the time of their arrival inforccd.
Among their first dutios was protec-
ton to the anic-stricken people from
two cases of smallpox, which are said
to have developed, one In a house on
Sixth Street, and another in a house
OH the west side. Guards were thrown
around these places and none but the
health authorities permitted to ap-
proach within a block.
Details of the plan FOR cleaning up
the city were completed when the ac-
tive heads of manufacturing concerns
employing in the aggregate some 5000
men, decided not to resume operations
but to turn their forces over TO tho
authorities for street work.
The gas supply. which has been fit
full. failed entirely this afternoon, and
500 men were sent to tbs coal mines
nearby to get out coal which will be
distributed to the destitute.
The Nurses Association of Musl1in-
gum County volunteered the services

SICK, and they were quickly put to
