i when Father spends his evenings at

with their heads together while read

We like to linger before such scene'
and fancy that Mother is sitting near
Father that she can get his attention
by giving him gentle pat with her
hand. But alas, Dear Reader. after
woman marries a man she doesn't get
his attention with a gentle pat OF the
hand; she gets it by digging into his
side with sharp elbow.
And in this manner Mrs. Lysander
John Appleton, on one Of those ex-
4remely rare occasions when she and
her daughter were at home boarding
their strength for future demands on
it for saving the world, called the at
tention of her husband to Daysey

Daysey Wayne was so intent on her
newspaper that she didn't notice that
her parents were looking at her with
the awe and pride in their eyes that

suddenly she gave a scream.

TN this article / said that | would
explain the difference between
the benefit derived from the ball
room dance and the more acrobatic
dance of the stage which can be
practiced at home any time. ] my
self am entirely in favor Of the aero
battle dance. for this reason:
There is really little or no physical
benefit to be derived from the modern
dance, because there is not enough
bodily exercise.
In the tango. the only muscles ex-
ercised to any extent are those be-
tween the knee and the ankle. The
arm movement Is also slight, and the
bodily movement lies in the bending
back of the body as illustrated.
This movement is used to some ex-
tent in the maxixe, but really not
enough to make any difference in the
slenderness OF the waist
OF course, II is better to dance the
modern dances constantly than not to
dance at all, but a combination of
both would be ideal.
You could use the acrobatic steps
