AURA DEAR

mi I an enclosing your monthly
check. The hotel has done very
well this summer and am always
glad to share my profits with my
daughter. You viii notice the increase
IN the size Of the check and hope
that you will be pleased Some time,
If it IS not too much Of a strain after
your Saturday night performance, I
brooke and, If possible, bring Mr.. Hur-
ley with you The times when 1 met
him with Mrs. Hurley were not
adapted to the study I would like to
make-noW that 1 am thinking Of him
as possible soninlaw.
On, my dear hope you are not go
ing TO do this rash thing. It would be
better for you to crush the love out
Of your heart-if it is really love. No
good viii come from it, my Laura. It
won't bring you contentment: there
viii always be something lacking. Per
haDs, it may help you if I tell you
something q mother rarely tells a
daughter, but it may help you.
Five years after I married your
father I knew that my happiness with
him was nothing but an idle dream.
AS you know, he drank. 1 thought
that ne could check his growing appe-
tite, but I guess he did not try very
hard When j realized the mistake I
had made i felt very hopeless So
long as I denied the truth to myself
J felt hopeful. 1t is sometimes better
70 deny the truth TO yourself, my
Laura, especially when it is not good
Tor you to know it That is what I
tried to do But the day came when
I had to admit 1t. I knew that my
marriage was a failure: that all the
romance had gone out OF it and that
II would never be the same again. I
Knew that though your father cured
himself he would always appear to me

THE most difficult part of the fifth
movement lies in the fact that
there are a great many steps for
the eight counts. And, furthermore, the
steps have no apparent connection
that rs, one doesn't follow easily from
the other, as was evident IN the more
simple measures.
The fifth movement may be said to
Be divided into two distinct parts-the
new dip, which is really difficult, and
the pirouette, which requires individual
movement On the part Of each dancer.
As to position, the turkey trot pose is
resumed, and the movement starts with
the man and girl simultaneously point
ing forward with the left foot, and then
across the right with the left. This is
done twice, the dip coming when the left

There is nothing more to be

always been Wiiful-I don't say this a
criticism-and New York, with its gay
life, its luxuries and its general ten

old mornings OF sound church teach

there is no chance for a reconciliation
between Mr.. and Mrs. Hurley2 The

Your duty IS to make absolutely
sure that there is no chance for
reconciliation between Mr. and Mrs.

from marrying him, dear. but oh, can't
I persuade you to go slow and not to
deceive yourself or let him deceive
himself? Please, dear, do this for
your mother.
Phil has lost his position at the
hotel. He says IL was not the right
kind of work, clerling in a fashion

said to me, that you yourself said
it was a frivolous sort of occupation
and that there was no future in It."
Yes" I answered, YEARLY, but you
said that there was a future in it;
that some day you might own a
hotel of your own, and that it was
the one thing at which you thought
you could make a success"

arguments were all wrong; that 1

that he is faithful and true; that he

and my reason as well as my heart is

ley claims her mothers home as her
own, she does not have to establish a
residence, and as her suit is uncon-
tested, there will be no delay in hand

been very liberal about money settle

that score.

you to send me any more checks.

So the movement is left point forward,
left across right, left point forward,
left across right and dip. Hum a good
turkey trot while you are reading this
over to help you get into the swing o.
it. This part of the movement takes
four of the eight counts of the measure.
The other four counts constitute the
pirouette. The dip should be done rap
idly, so as to get back quickly into the
turkey trot position, and Immediately
on the fifth count the man and girl turn
completely around back to back in a
pirouette. At the completion of the
turn the regular turkey trot position is
again assumed for the beginning of the
sixth movement.
A Difficult One.

in learning, the battle is half won; but
this movement is complicated and needs
practice.
The pirouette is simply the turning of
the body on the ball of the left foot and
swinging the right foot around into
place. As the turn'is completed the man
catches the girls left hand with his
right and Immediately assumes the reg
ular position for dancing.
Very Effective.
This movement of the Futarist Twirl,
although complicated, is really the most
effective if properly executed And
people who expect to learn things must
be willing to come up against a hard
problem once in while.

else knows, think how very dull and

MODERN DINNER ALL RIGHT
Physician Declares That Appurtenan
ces and Menu All Tend to Pro-
mote the Diaestlon.

Dinner as a social institution has
been so sedulously attacked by gas
tronomic experts In recent years that
the banquet has been held responsible
for many untimely deaths Of public
men. One OF the most conspicuous
statesmen in America was said to
have been killed by dining out. The
consumption of course after course
upon a menu Is held by various ati-
thorities to be inconsistent with long
life and even with continued health.
Now, all these notions, according to
DR.. r. s. Leyenson. are based more
or less upon delusion. Discoveries
In the physiology Of digestion during
the past dozen years do not discredit
the modern dinner, he says. They
vindicate 1t. Man has unconsciously
established routine of courses In the
dinner that takes thorough cognizance
Of the physiological principles upon
which digestion IL founded. Take, for
instance, the elaborate gowns worn by
the women and the evening suits by
the men, the floral decorations and
the music. There is no doubt that
each OF these items serves the purpose
of composing generally favorable
stage setting for digestion. 1t has
been shown in recent years that the
moods created by these details have a
directly favorable bearing upon the
performance of the digestive function.
Current Opinion.

Washington, d. C--For six hours
Wednesday Ex-Governor Carter, and
Sidney BalIou, two OK the men who
have conducted the fight of Hawaiian
producers in Washington to retain a
duty on sugar, outlined to the senate

activities here and elsewhere
Governor Carter testified that moth
ing was paid By him and he received
only his expenses Mr.. Ballou said
be was the regular agent of the sugar
producers in Washington, with sal
airy of sl2, 900 year and $4,000 year
for expenses. Both agreed that about
800. 600 had been spent by the sugar
people in their campaign against free
sugar, but denied that there had been
any tangible communication between
the United States cane and beet and
Hawaiian cane producers with com
mon fund directed to influencing legis-
lation-
Governor Carter said that thres
senator's, Swanson, Lewis and Will
liams, had told him or Hawaiian
friends that they were not in sym
pathy with free sugar, but that sinc'
it was advocated by the Democratic
party they must vote for it.
He declared he had got no satisfac
ton when he spoke of hearings u

tives and senators.

EXTINCT VOLCANO FORTRESS
Americans Store Supplies and Pre-
pare for Long Siege.

Boston = American troops in the
Hawaiian Islands have taken posses
sion of the crater of a large extinct
volcano situated on the coast, and are
working night and day to convert it
into fortress capable of withstand
ing a long siege Ammunition and
food supplies are being stored within
it, guns are being mounted, a water
supply has been arranged for and gar
dens have been planted on the slopes
of the crater to provide food and thus
render the place self-sustaining in
case it is besieged for any great
length of time
This information reached Boston
from an authentic source in Honolulu,
and the communication further said
that Americans residing in the Ha-
waiian Islands, including troops, are
much exercised over the Japanese sit
uation.
The communication says that Amer
leans have moved into the crater, bag
and baggage; that living quarters are
being prepared within, and that guns
are being mounted all around the rim,
so that fortress capable of resisting
an attack either from land or sea will
confront any forces that may try tc
attack the place

RAISE BEEF CATTLE.
Nebraska Farmers viii Try to Re-
dEe Cost Of Living.
Organized Efforts Will be Directed
by State Authorties-Big Prof.
its Are Expected.

Lincoln, Neb.-To do their part in
reducing the high cost Of living, 200
Nebraska farmers have pledged them
selves to devote their time, talents
and energies to increasing the produc-
ton of beef cattle in this state, and to
follow the instructions of the univer-
sity experiment station, which for
several years has made special study
of raising cattle for beef by the best
methods.
1.-THE fact that the population of the
country is increasing, while beef cat
tie are decreasing, has aroused the ma
tion to a realization that the high cost
of living can never be lowered until
this state of affairs is mended, and
that the farmers are responsible for
the work is just as apparent as that
present conditions exist" said Dean
Burnett, addressing the farmers con-
vention at a beef-feeders' meeting
held at the State University farm.
Dean Burnett produced figures to
show that Nebraska can raise beef al
profit equaled by no other state in
the Union, with the possible exception
of Kansas.
1.-THE small farmer is especially
adapted to the raising of beef" he
said.
'The market has changed in late
years, SO that now the demand is fol-
higher beef. These days the farmer
may get almost as high prices for cat
tie IL and Is months old as in former
years for four-year-olds. This is il
favor of the farmer, as the cattle car
be sold sooner and raised much NOR,
cheaply."

caused the death Of one man and at
tackled two others, and that Maccomo
would at the peril Of his life enter
the cage

animal was frightened by noises and
by the insertion into the cage of red
hot bars. She was SO disguised with
