The Secret Of Grace
Relaxation, Says Great Stage Dancer,
Is the Secret of Grace in
Dancing or Standing.

IN discussing the fundamental prin-
ciples of the art Of good dancing
\ Donald Brian, star in The Siren,
recognized as the peer Of all stage
dancers, has this TO say;
Relaxation is the secret Of grace
fulness. In boxing or dancing, or any
thing else that requires precision OF
movement, you viii find that this holds
true
"The best boxers. if you have had
occasion to notice boxers, never hold
themselves rigid Their muscles are
relaxed, save those in actual use, and
their hands half open Thus they save
energy. They don't tire themselves by
uSeleSsly contracting their muscles,
and when the time comes to put in a
punch there is steam behind it
Now, Wen see how this works out
in simply standing still I stand with
my head and shoulders thrown back.

You can plainly see that the position
looks stiff and awkward Muscles
have to contract to keep me like this

actually uncomfortable.
Now notice the difference when

There is no appearance for awkward

The fundamental principle OF easy
and graceful standing is to keep the

resting on the ball Of the foot, and
the forehead should be on a line d.
rectly above.
The same principle holds good for
a woman. Bad methods OF standing
tire women as much as anything else.
Now this matter Of correct stand
ing is the first thing TO consider when
You take up the question of dancing.
1 don't see how anyone who doesn't
stand gracefully and easily is going
70 make any other than a mediocre
dancer
Most Of the people one sees stand
and sit in extremely awkward posi-
tons You can SIZE men on the street
bent backward from the waist until
you wonder why they don't break in
two.
And some men bunch forward to
the opposite extreme. A man who
shOves the upper half OF his body
ahead of himself looks as though he
was going 10 fall down any moment
You know what I mean-the kind OF
man whose nose gets around a corner
long before his feet begin to make

Book agents rarely carry books with
them. They carry eOyers. No book

lectiOns from Kipling when he can pro-
duce with far less trouble selections

a good book agent can sell three hori-
zontal feet of ivory and old rose bind

out telling him who wrote the Filings
between the covers. And if the book
has a numbered title page and is lin
tied to 800 copies, the plates having
been beaten up and fed to a goat after
ward, the book agent can sell it for
triple prices.
Book agents are among our most

Two Souls
A short story.

~ OR many days their eyes had met;
ones furtive, but penetrating;
the others more careless than
naughty
1t was in one Of these quaint and
quiet streets OF old Paris, where 81
lence reigns, only occasionally broken
by the sonorous voice Of the great Saint
Sulpice close by. The crested carriage
which drove the pious lady to the
church stopped a short moment in
front of the miserable house where the
newswoman hid her worn black dress
and her poverty pinched face behind
great piles of newspapers and periodi-
Gals. Here the young footmau
jumped from his seat and asked for
the current number of a magazine
which he respectfully handed his mis-
tress In the carriage. Thus, had news
woman and duchess exchanged a greet
ing.
But if the newswOman one morning
noticed how suddenly sad had become
the duchess's face, the duchess had GER
fanny never noticed how sad was al
ways the face of the little newswOman.
Poor lady; I wonder what sorrow
mas come to her, tOOE' murmured the
newswOman- Undoubtedly the great
lady must have a child. who is sick,
perhaps dying. Yes, it must be that,
il could not be anything else. There
was no doubt but what it was the an
gulsh of despairing mother she has
seen in this pitifully changed face
this morning. Her noble client had be-
come so humble It was the feeling
or CeSpa1rlnE mother which made her
clutch her prayer book so nervOusly.
And the poor woman shivered in her
worn black dress. as she thought Of
her own little one, whom she had left
alone at home, so frail and small
Then one morning. the duchess, be-
cause she felt sad and miserable her
self noticed the sadness in the other
WOman's face. Perhaps that was why
the duchess asked the newswOman all
about her life, and when the other
had finished, told of her own
It seemed to have relieved her to
cont1de IN some one and her face
looked less despairing, less hopeless
when she drove away.
The next morning the carriage
stopped stil longer. the two women
felt as If they had known each other

April Fools
j. By Walt Mason

This is the day when foolish folks
think they've a license for their jokes,
and multiply our woes; they fill aban-
dOned hats with bricks, the which the
way worn pilgrim kicks, and busts a
dozen toes. By exercise of brutal guile
they have US journey many a mile on
errands wild and croOl; they trap and
trick US every way, and take the sun
shine from our day, and call US April
Fool!0 But when all things are said
and done, the fool Is not the stricken
one who's badgered and beguiled;
though ne has suffered, he has not con
spIred to make the neighbOrs hot and
drive companions wild. The fool IS he
who plays the trick; he always makes
sane people sick and weary of his
game; though years may pass, and he
may pant Tor peoples confidence, he
can't shake off his foolish tame. Id
rather be the guy who kicks an old plug
hat that's filled with bricks than be the
skate who grins and thinks it humorous
to see a fellow mortal break his knee
and laeerate his shins. I'd rather try to
take chair, and find the blamed thing
isn't there, and fall like a ton of hay,
Id rather have my backbone bent than
be the Predetermined gent who takes the
chair away.

Book Agents
A BOOK AGENT is a leather sales
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF sat Good Old Slvusb.7

A BOOK AGENT Is a leather sales
n man engaged in promoting the
L Acause OF literature by mesmerism.
People who are fond of literature buy
it in vast quantities at the book stores.
1t is the duty of the book agent, how
ever, to sell history to men who are in
terested in baseball, poetry to pool play
ers, romance to stock brokers with a
passion for poker and encyclopedias to
chauffeuTs. The book agent does this bv
fixing cool grey eye on his victim and
talking to him until said victim is con-
WINGED that without De Maupassant in
p volumes life Is horrible and useless.
The book agent doesn't necessarily
talk about De Maupassant in the opera
ton because he probably has never
read him. He usually talks OF politics.
the cost of living, the victims we'll
known taste in art and letters, the de-
STABILITY of hand-tOoled bindings and
the number of sets he has sold to our
leading men. Whatever he talks of he
ends as follows: Sign here, please"
Then he goes away and shortly after
wards the buyer wakes up with a start
and begins to pay $ a month, con-
tinUing until death does him part.
