Feeds Her Pet Pig
With a Silver Spoon
Denver Society Woman Provides
Bed of Down and Linen for
Her Porcine Possession.

DENVER, July 19.-Mrs. Whitney
Newton, a Denver society matron, has
new pet.
Young Robert Newton came home a
few evenings ago and brought a baby
pig with him
Mrs. Newton took the squirming
animal into her arms and tried to
make it comfortable, but without sue
cess. Finally, in desperation, she
went to the linen closet, took out a
fine piece Of hemstitched linen, en-
broidered with blue flowers, wrapped
it gently about the slick little pig,
then laid him cautiously upon the
downy pillows beside her own.
Piggy gave a satisfied little squeak,
doubled up his feet and went off TO
sleep happily.
This cunning act won Mrs. New
tons heart, and from evaporation
she developed a positive liking for
her pet. His white skin is washed,
combed and perfumed and he sleeps
in downy bed every night beside mis-
mistress. He also eats from a silver
spoon.

SHARON, MASS, July 19.-Reau-

in diaphanous draperies whirling
through the groves like Dianas and
dryads of NEUROLOGICAL days caused
this little town much disturbance I'M
til it was learned that these nymph-
like dancers were only groups Of
fashionable women from Boston, New
York, Washington and other large
cities learning the art Of rhythmic ex-
preston at Mrs. Florence Fleming
Noyes' Sharon Summer School
Just now Sharon has recovered a
little from the shock Of having it's
dells and glades peopled with gyrat-
ing girls going through mysterious
evolutions. but the interesting new
kind of training which Mrs. Noyes
has started in Massachusetts promises
to attract large numbers of rhythmic
women students from everywhere.
The rhythmic dance is especially de-
lightful since 1t necessitates the
wearing of special apparel, thin, loose
and silken, to give full and perfect
play to the motions Of the limbs and
the free gyrations Of the body.

Litheness, suppleness and harmony

trees with low swinging branches and
dark green grass underneath
1t is in this grove that the pupils
are indicted into the first mysteries
of rhythmic expression.
As they get experience and feel the
restrictions of the grove they natu-
rally seek the wider range of the
wooded expanses that surround the
town. Hence the surprise that was
at first caused when these startling
Delsartian women of society were
seen amid the trees or deep in the
recesses Of some particularly remote
glen gliding through the fantastic
evOlutiOns that are supposed to lend
the body perfect ease and repose.
Great Modesty Is Shown.
Groups ranging from ten to a score

upon one of these rhythm classes Of
beautiful girls knew of the great
grace and extreme litheness Of body
that was being taught and learned.
Among the girls studying with Miss
Noyes are BeUIah Hepburn, daughter
of A. Barton Hepburn, of New York,
