BODIES.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1914. by Frank Crane.)

Why do we have bodies? Why are We
not unsubstantial spirits?
We are clothed in bodies in order that
we come into harmony with nature.
Our bodies are the link between US
and the universe
Through them we are brought into
subsection to the laws that govern
planets and trees. We become brothers
to the animals. cousins to the flowers
We are bound in the same bundle Of re-
lauonship with stones, mountains and
seas.
The fire that consumes Nooa DESTROYS
us. The wind that raises the waves and
uproots the oak smites us. The sun that
undoes the morning glory. opens also our
petals of cheer
If we are but spirits we should wander
as waits in world We could never real
lie. Ave should have no kinship of suf-
fering and of beauty with our fellow
creatures.
Through our bodies comes also human
communion. When we eat and drink to-
gether that is the holy sacrament of
unity. When we kiss, the soul awakens.
We say that we see, hear, smell, taste
1880 NNN-i''
these functions. We cannot know, nor
even imagine, how a naked soul could
perform them. A soul without body
would be isolated.
What the spirits of men do elsew here
we can only surmise, but let us be thank
full that upon this sphere they inhabit
living organisms; for thus is revealed to
them the overpowering glory of light. the
majesty of the stars. the appeal of green
heritage, of calling birds and of all else
in this goodly frame of things.
/ Spirit may possibly speak to spirit
without using material media, but it is
at our present state of knowledge hardly
to be understood. What we do know is
that my soul can reach yours through
your eye by my frown, nod or laughter:
through your ear by the sound of my
lips. E
So the soul is put into body that It
may become a part of the oneness of
things, may find its place in the all, may
learn form and order. may grow into
consciousness of itself. of other souls
and of nature.
1t must have body, even as the in
finite must have its expression in the
finite.

she said you might as well GO
The Observer went. After all. what is
the use of trying to beat down the in
| exorabe? That vision had been put on
earth to sell candy, and she was pre-
pared to sell pepper candy, which would
make some innocent bystander's mouth
smart like liquid fire. in order TO make a
sale at % cents a pound.
Yet the thought persisted that a vision
who could willingly offer this candy on a
public market must be at least collater-
ally related to the original April fool
demon. And the Observer is convinced
that if the vision would only have talked
she could tell an interesting story.
! Soundness was the very watchword Of
the newt man whom the Observer hap
pened to run across. This man is libra
rian, and goes nosing around for all kinds

have been held in different parts of the

But" protested the Observer. how
can you call 1t feast day when it is
principally devoted to injuring those
whom you happen to know. This is pre-
posterous.'
Said the librarian:

But as he was producing several vol
umes of literature the Observer fed.
Now there happens to live near the
place where the Observer has his abode
one of the most charming little girls that
ever lived. The Observer and she have
already plighted their troth. She is four
years old. She wears her hair long and
her dresses short and she looks for all
the world like one of those little Dresden
dolls that you buy for the children at
Christmas time. Also. she lisps.

then allowed to swing free, so that the
utmost freedom of movement was as
sured the wearer. yet the effect was
that of an extremely narrow and bind
ing skirt. 1t really was clever idea.
Topping it was a pretty surplice
blouse of white chiffon edged with
bebe velvet sewed with rhinestones
and tunic that sloped up toward the
front, just following the line of the
satin band on the skirt. A smashing
girdle of rose-hued satin completed
the pretty costume. But that was not
all.
Look" urged the devotee of the
dance. She had unfastened one hook,
slipped off the tunic, and presto, there
was a kimono blouse of black chiffon
continuing the chiffon of the skirt and
the costume had become a fetching
afternoon dress. 1t was then explained
that Mrs. Herr often remains at the
studio from the the-da nsant right through
the evening dancing. and this combina-
ton costume enabled her to make the
quick change of toilet she often found
necessary.
Most Of Miss Joan Sawyers dansant
frocks are of thin. crepey silks rather
than chiffon. the silks that cling and
swirl about her she bends and sways
her dances. This both for afternoon
and evening. although some of her
gowns are of Persian stuffs in compli-
ment to her Persian Garden.
One of the evening gowns, an In
describable pattern of many soft col
orings is made with three founces,
each hung so that it forms pro-
nounced jabot effect in front, obviously
for the purpose of giving ample width
The lower one Is mounted some ten
inches above the knees. so that there
is freedom at the knees, and the other
two take their cue from this. Their
above these is u short pouched tunic,
fiounce and FORMS heading for the
top one. 1t is gathered at the waist
also with tWo-inch heading that
stands UP against the corsase, The
corsage is of shadow lace, surpliced
with cluster of silk rosebuds at the
crossing.
Asked what she thought of the cor
sets designers had brought out to suit
the dancing craze, Miss Sawyer said:
IF corset is insisted upon there
are some clever models that really
help one in the dance. Cors.eting is
more important than ever if, as say,
one insists upon being corseted.
"One fault to be found with other
wise good models is that they hold
the figure in about the hips when the
structure is more necessary just below,
but there are some models I know of
which are really thigh diminishing.
All OF the dancing corsets are made to
hold the figure close and firmly, yet
perfectly free because of the fexibiI-
ity of their materials"

GI%JFIL UENCE OF TANGO
ON THE MODERN STYLE

HOWEVER unsettled may be the
n question of Partisan versus
L = American leadership in fashions,
one thing is certain, the tango's inf1u-
ence is supreme. If any further proof
were required it was to be found IN
the Paquin models a; an exhibition
last week. for in at least two-thirds
of the gowns style had been made
subservient to comfort i'll dancing.
All winter the dance has been play
ing havoc with pretty gowns and pre-
venting their wearers from exploiting
the grace that comes with freedom of
movement and certain teachers, be-
tween creating new steps, have been
desperately trying to solve the mighty
problem of suitable dress for the dance.
Suitable" said Mrs. Herr, who is
the moving spirit of the popular Herr
dances, suitable dress means dress
that conforms to the dictates of fash
ions latest whims and at the same
time permits of free movement of the
body. 1t is a difficult proposition in
these days of tight skirts, although,
except for the skirts, fashion seems to
have played right into the dancers
hands. Bodices, you know. couldn't
have been more practical for the pur-
large of sleeve. waists likewise large
and hips unconfined.
Tn order to dance well and enjoy
it, one must have perfect control of
all the muscles. and to have this CON
troll utmost freedom is essential. Now
the dresss of this winter even slashed
as many of them have done, have not
been satisfactory. They were bound
to catch somewhere, if not at the
ankles, then at the knees and the
suits have been distressing. 1t is OK
pensive to be compelled to wear a diff
ferent dress every night. and so many.
so very many, women dance somewhere
every night.
"I have designed literally hundreds
of dansant frocks in my mind. but
| most of them are slight improvements
upon what has already beer passed
upon. What is really needed is a skirt
pouched or in some other way expand
| ed at the knees
What a pity these are not the days

young lady. But It is an accredited fact
that she dropped her eyes when she
said it.
What was the boyle mans crouch?
What was his reason for treating the
nation-the world, for that matter-to
seeking the answer. We have not found
it yet
There was a milkman.
Now, for pure, unauthorized cusSed-
outranks a milkman He is the ne plus
ultra of demonish ferocity. He is the
man who picks up three bottles which
you considerably left for him and
drops two of them before he reaches
the wagon.

will be able to deliver the goods"
So he tackled a milkman. One of
those who have an afternoon run
What" said the Observer us your
theory Of the crouch which the original
April fools man had on the people of
this more or less harassed earth when
he wished the joke idea on them?"
Search me-" said the milkman.
You get a lot of fun out of waking
people up accused the Observer.
The milkman grinned, guiltily. For
guilty grinning there is no person on
earth who can exceed a milkman.
"'Bo said he, I reckon you got me
there. I am the original April fools
kid. We wake EN- up in the morning
and when they write a. complaint into
the office we explain that they put their
milk bottles SO they couldn't help but
tumble off the porch.
~ amt hard hearted at that. / am
willing to accept things as they come

server.
You don't have to say it, replied
the milkman. Il know.
So they let it drop at that.
They let it drop-in a sense. But
the Observer continued his wild wan
derings. He went to man who above
the origin Of April fools day This
man Is a dyspeptic. Every time he eats
a meal he has to drink some hot water.
And his complexion reminds you mostly

marvellous fund Of theory.
what do you think was the original
crouch which led to the establishment
of April fools day." asked the OBJ
server.
There was no crouch concerned with
it," replied the dyspeptic person.
NO crouch
NO" snorted the dyspeptic person
1.-The man who invented April fools
day was the one wise man of the
earth
"You have got to back that up
! warned the Observer.
| The dsspeptic one grasped himself by
the midriff and heaved colossal sigh.
| Then he spoke:
Even person of your limited in
telligence must admit that if some
thing is done to reduce the egotism of
the world a kindly act has been CON-
mitted.''

cause he believed in the theory, but to

Into the beautiful bovine countenance
there sprang a ray of thought. Not
much. to be sure, but still sign of life.
II know what you want" she gurgled.
You want some of those lovely candies
we have just gotten in. Twenty-Five
cents pound. The insides, you know,
are filled with pepper. The person eats
the candy and he doesn't get the pepper
until the candy is well chewed up. Then
It is too late to get it out of his mouth.

the original April Fools day mans
crouch was against the universe" said
the Observer. Perhaps l am not plain
in my words. I am trying to learn
just why any man should desire to in
f1ict cruelty upon his friends In a mis-
guided sense of happy humor.'
We have" said the young lady, some
splendid caramels which are so cents a

our special old home tatfy, which is
30 cents a pound?"
The Observer waved his arm wildly.
You do not get me- he cried.

said the vision, haughtily. II don't
even know YOU" -

There was a quiet spell while the
broker rubbed the place where the pin
had been That broker was evidently
all cut up.
Yes he resumed. after he had patted
himself. this idea of April Fools day is
merely an excuse for three hundred and

But this sounded too ominous. 1t was
like the happy thoughts which Bluebeard
might have had on preparing TO behea d

there is no better antidote than the one
