TINE fair maids Of Greece did not
have basketball or tennis, but
they had similar games and
played them with expert grace.
The emmilia was sort of scarf
dance executed by the young girls alone
and danced with long wells to the music
Of their own songs OF the flute of one
OF their number
These scarfs were waved in just the
same manner as we see the dancers
manipulate them today, but the Greek
girl was physically perfect and she
was trained in athletics and in the
grace Of movement
She had the advantage over the mod
crn girl who tries to initiate these
dances because she had never worn a
corset or high heeled shoes
All well-formed peoule who do not
wear shoes walk better than the most
graceful woman who does, because few
people have shoes that fit them, in the
first place and shoe that is the least
out of polse, placing the weight some
where else than on the ball Of the foot.
The Greek girl had no tight cloth
ing, and little of that, though she was
not dressed as chilly as she looks.
Their garments were generally of "a
warm wool material, and they soon be-
came expert dyers, buying beautiful
colors from the Phoenicians. So you
can imagine them dressed In glowing
shades Of all kind.
There were no stiff forms OF etiquette
in those days. and that made a greet
deal Of difference. Girls are so often
awkward because they are not sure
Of the dancing master rules of deport-
ment that came long afterward a part
of court etiquette. and which drifted
down to all peoples, and made them
afraid to be natural because they might
be set down as ignorant.
The maidens who danced the emmilia
on the green lawns were graceful be-
cause they were unconscious of any,
thing but the joy OF the dance that
celebrated the coming spring.
OF all the descriptions in Homer's
odyssey" there is mono more beautiful

ana went down to the waters edge
early one morning to wash the festival
raiment With her maids. They accom-
plished their task and then bathel

started to play ball on the sand where
they had left the linen to bleach. One
of the girls threw the ball far into tho
bushes and when she went to get il

cred the other king, Ulysses, who had
been tossed about for days on the ocean

REMAIN AWAY FOR A WHILE.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am madly in love with a girl
who likes me very much as
friend, but is in love with another
man. She knows that this man is
in love, with another girl. who re-
turns his affections and has frankly
told me the whole situation, We
have both suffered great mental
anguish as a result of the uDfor-
tunate circumstances. What would
be the chances Of her transferring
her affections to me when she
fully realizes the futility of caring
for the other man. and should |
continue to go with her or re-
main away from her altogether?
II. L. $.
She knows you love her. She finds
no JOY in it now, but am sure sh,
will later, if you remain away till she
has learned the folly Of caring for tn.

ADVICE 10 lF1E LOVELORN By Bea

for some reason she changed her
love to mere friendship.
Shall ! pay my attentions to the
first girl or the second? | think
by trying real hard I could win the
second, but do not want to humble
myself when there is another girl
who is glad to receive my atten-
tions. If | go with the first girl,
il viii mean broken friendship be-
tween me and the second girl.
PERPLE&ED.
You say YOU don't want to humble
to win the girl you love, when
the girl whom YOU don't love is ready
TO drop into your hands?
That settles it. You don't love her.
If YOU did you would be glad to bow
in the dust for her sake
The trouble with YOU is YOU want
both. Since you can't have both, make
up your mind which one you want, and
go I'm and win. And be true to her!

Mr.. Doughty had not expected the

the spirit of the thing in way that ex-
ceeded all expectations. He not only
flew to the cornfeld, but kept right on
