FROST SLIGHTLY
DAMAGES COTTON
In Low Places the Plant Was Com
pIetely Killed. On High Lands
Only Slight Damage Done.

There was a heavy frost through
out this section Sunday night, and
many were uneasy about the fate of
early cotton and garden truck until
after an investigation was made.
The cotton crop as a whole was
only slightly damaged, and the gar
dens suffered very little if any. How
ever, in the low places, where the
cotton plant had come up good, it
was entirely killed. and will have
to be planted over. 1t is estimated
that the cotton crop was not dam
aged more than ten per cent. The
fruit crop that escaped the recent
freeze was not hurt by Sunday
nights frost

If you would have the figure Of

The Venus de Milo danced, and to
dancing give an important part Of
the credit for the development Of her
beautiful figure. In her day dancing
was not merely q recreation-it was

Dancing should be made a part Of

But the present day dances are not

the natural or artistic" dancing you
see on the stage? g
You may think it perfectly natural
to watch others dance, but it is Who'll.
ly unnatural.
Within all of US is born the instinct
Of dancing.
Natural dancing is within the laws
of nature. Any truly natural human
being can conquer the art to certain
extent. Natural dancing brings con.
troll and perfection of the body, knowl.
edge of beauty and vigor Of life.
All you need for natural dancing
is your own body and some under.
standing Of rythm.
Don't think natural dancing is for
children only.
I have helped debutantes and mill
girls, servants and society matrons,
to express themselves through natur.
al dancing.
It you are really to enjoy art you
must create 1t yourself. Not only is
natural dancing an art, but by means
OF 1t and the proper care and carriage
Of the body you make Of yourself .
