How to Acquire a Beautiful
Figure Through Dancing. By

ton of the body, the elevation
of the mind and the joyous
appreciation of living. And out of these
three primary purposes of classical
dancing grows naturally the bodily
grace that is what the world seeks
first from the art of the dance
l have always thought it very sad
thing that children should be taught
to be ashamed of the bodies that God
gave to them. The body is a beautiful
and holy thing-a temple-and every
child should be taught TO regard il in
this way. To keep il clean, and pure.
and healthy is not en0ugh-it should
be reverenced as something that was
given by God and must be returned
to Him undetiled. Through this rever-
ence false shame that is really immod-
esty will be done away with. Then the
next step is to have in the mind
thoughts worthy of its own high pur-
pose and of the finest ideals Of bodily
beauty. So through the beautiful move
ments of spontaneous joy that go to
make up the classical dance we per-
form a splendid service for both body
and mind
THE MODERN COSTUME.
The modern costume that half re
veals and half conceals" is the object
of much criticism, some of it adverse
and some of it on the lines of argu-
ment that Ito the pure all things are
pure" To me clothing is immOdest
whenever it is suggestive in a slammed
faced way that seems to hint; here is
a little glimpse of ankle or rounded
arm-just hint, for more would be
improper. Now, on the other hand,
consider the Greek tunic. a soft dra-
perry clinging material, that clothes the
body in little cloud of mystery, but
yet is all-revealing and so makes beau
ty an absolute essential
Our bodies today are defective be
cause we know how easy it is to hide
defects. The ancients, on the other
hand, had to overcome defects and
make for beauty so great that it could
be unself-consciously revealed.
This is the whole secret of immod-
esty, to have the mind dwelling on the
body in an apologize way. Now let us
enter upon the study of how to make
the body so beautiful in line and con-
tour that we may accept it as simply
as we do beautiful lily or rose.
After a fairly exhaustive study of
the subject l am practically convinced
that nothing so surely gives bodily
beauty combined with purity of mind
as do the ideal movements of the re-
vival of classical dancing.
Today l wish to illustrate my theory
with three exercises, poses or move
ments of the dance that make a good
beginning for the study of how to
beautify the human figure through
dancing.
In the first figure the figure is pois-
While the weary ones kept prodding

"These are free" my comrade NUT

While on hearing what he uttered
There arose clamor ghostly that
went ringing through the void,
Then from the windows cheering
faces radiant came peering
Just as if the awful protest were

When at last my journey ended,
Said my friend: "Of course, the meters
never register a cent,
So the passengers elated feel en-
tirely vindicated
For their earthly woes and gougings
and the money they have spent"

~ HE Constitution of the United
States Of America provides
for religious liberty. Since the
burning of witches in Salem a
few hundred years ago there has been
a slow but steady growth in liberal
thought, and when the man who called
himself a Unitarian" twenty years
ago was regarded as a menace to
Christianity, and in measure was os-
tracised by orthodox people, he is con-
sidered quite orthodox today, and no
one questions his responsibility.
Therefore it seems inexplicable that
we still have men and women among
us who consider it right and duty to
make rigid laws to enable them to
prosecute another religious sect, viz,
the people of America who believe in
the existence of the spirits of human
beings after death, and who claim to
possess the power or the ability to
communicate with them.
There Have Been Seers, Pro-
phets and Mediums in
All Ages.
In a recent number of the Progress
sive Thinker appears the following:

the other leg is raised to a position
parallel with the floor, and stretched

Young and tender freshmen to the
number Of rs, dressed in gay costume
and painted in many colors, were pa
raded around the campus of Oahu
college yesterday afternoon by the
members of the senior class and by
other upper classmen. The upper
classmen were in frenzy Of delight.
while the freshies covered In fear and
trembling, and the results were that
Gle OF the best limitations in the his
tory Of Punahon was enacted.
Each senior was assigned to supply
Ea certain freshman with costume Of
some sort, and. in keeping with the
occasion. a large variety was OBJ
tanned. There was everything from a
Salome dancer to q baby represented
in the clever array. and the antics Of
the new ~studes', furnished amuse-
ment for the many persons who had
gcthered to witness the fun. After
the school had seen the freshmen to
its hearts content, the youngsters
were marched to the tank, where they
were slcked in short order Many
new students were also ducked, to-
gether with some members of the so
phomore clique who had failed to
treat the seniors with proper respect
during the past year The juniors
we're allowed TO watch the antics, but
were cautioned against taking part.
This yearly custom of ducking the
freshmen has given Punahou some
thing of a name, it Is said. for stories
have gone the rounds at different
times Of the number OF narrow es-
capes which freshmen have expert
enced. For nearly years the diner
ent senior classes have looked upon
1t as privilege to duck the young
sters. and while this form Of hazing
was somewhat strenuous In other
days, it has been greatly modified as
the years have gone by. The smart
boy is the one who gets it now and
then, and all the seniors say woe to
the fresh guy when they get him
in me tank.
A. q fitting ending to the initiation,
the classes OF IA, '15 and '16 gave the
incoming freshmen dance last. even

attendance, as well as outsiders and
q scattering of alumni The halls
were beautifully decorated in green,
and large Oahu college banner held
a prominent position.

Wallace Resigns


c. c. Wallace, postmaster of
Richmond, tenders his resignation
and the same of course will be
accepted. Congressman Helm
has decided to recomend Hon. E.
C. Stockton to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Stockton is we'll qualified
for the office and will conduct it's
affairs on a high plane. This
office has. always had a high
rating. Postmaster Taylor con-
Quoted it well. So did Mr.. ]. B.
Willis. The present incumbent
has kept it in Al condition.
Much speculation is INDUCED
in as to the cause of the resigna-
ton and it is generally accepted
that Mr.. Wallace did not want to
be asked to resign and did not
want charges of offensive activity
in politics against him. The esig-
nation came as complete sur.
prise as no effort was being made
by the Democrats to displace
him; at least no open effort.
The new postmaster will be
highly acceptable to all classes.
He is popular with the people
stands high in business circles
and has been active in church
and lodge works.
/ His opponents, Messrs.
Evans, Blanton and Jett, take
their defeat philosophically anc
congratulated Mr.. Stockton on his
preferment.
The appointment of Mr.. Stock
ton has not yet been sent to the
Senate.

On the 30th of June this great
reformer will speak at the Chau
tauqua. Everybody knows what
he has done in the interest of
better government. He it was who
started the investigation of con-
ditions in St. Louis, and whose
influence aroused scores of other
cities to do likewise. Folks
name is a synonym for ability and
integrity; he has made a great
record in the cause of civic
righteousness. How can you
afford to miss him? 1t is a real
education to hear such men as
these. Laurant the magician will

forth at the morning hour every

But there will be solos, quartettes,
vocal and instrumental in album
dance, and with the addition of
Kryrs world-famous band, every
variety of musical taste will be
gratifed. The wish of those who
have the good of the community
at heart is that the Chautauqua
will be so successful this year that
it may become permanent insti-
