drously open-minded as to clothes, may
sometimes be seen gamboling there on
natures green stage
Another institution where nature is
having a fair chance is the fashionable
girls school maintained by Mrs. Florence
Fleming Noyes, at Petersboro, NJ H.
Here, too, there are frequent open-air dis
plays of bare limbs in the classic dance
with personalities carefully disguised, as
"Faun." "Bacchus," "Bacchante," and so
on.
1t should not be forgotten that the
worlds greatest physical instructors are
firm supporters OF this shedding of clothes

Ter of Denmark-who gave health lessons
to the Kaiser and to Colonel Roosevelt

Dancing, as we'll as other forms OF
physical exercise, has the physical accom-.

agreement unItes the physical instructors
and the teachers of classic dancing. On
this point Mrs. Noyes, of the Peterboro
school, says:
when we cultivate the sympathetic
nervous system through the right use OF
of great things in creative art, since all

an authority than G. Stanley Hall, OF

1yHE closer-to-nature ideal cherished

10 CloSer-to- nature ideal cherished
from different viewpoints in every
civilized community seems to be
making progress In practical ways. A few
years ago such scenes as are photographed
from life on this page could have existed
only in the widest imagination. Their
existence, in fact. probably would have
stirred the police into unwonted activity.
To-day these out-of-doors displays of bare
feet and limbs, with bodies yelled by only
the scantiest flowing draperies. are in
dulged in and encouraged by women, girls
and young children belonging to the best
social circles. Dancing upon the green
sward with bodies lightly covered as
was the custom in ancient Greece Is fea-
ture of several fashionable schools to
which families of the best social standing
send their young daughters.
The childhood note is dominant all
through this particular manifestation Of
the closer-to-nature ideal Nearly all Of
the women who make it their profession
to teach dancing as that art was practised
by care-free youths and maidens in the
Golden Age OF Greece surround them
selves with children. Children hate
clothes anyway, and seem to belong to
such scenes equally with the trees and the
grass. Besides. the natural grace Of these
joyous young animals doubtless gives val
liable points to their instructors. Isadora
Duncan, the worlds first and chief OK
ponent and teacher Of the ancient Greek
dances, is rarely seen In public without
her background of a score or more Of
dancing children, her pupils.
Lady Constance Richardson, the English
noblewoman who threw down her defiance
to aristocratic society when she became a
professional dancer Of the bare-footed.
lightly draped type, publishes the fact
