Order has increased materially and
that there are now more than 10000
Knights Of Columbus in this state, rep
resenting fifty Councils. The State
Chaplain, Rev. VIM. Busch, in his re-
port, pointed out the necessity of the
knights of Columbus making an effort
to answer the appeal made by the Holy
Father for aid, consequent upon the
deplorable conditions resulting from
the disastrous war. The needs of a
permanent lecture course for the Coun-
ellis were pointed out with the object
of having at least one lecture delivered
before each council on an important
subject by a prominent speaker. The
matter of State Bulletin in the inter-
ests Of the Order was also brought to
the attention of the convention by
Father Busch. The attention of the
Order was directed toward the spread
of Catholic literature and the support
which it should receive from members
of the Knights of Columbus. DR.. Buck
ley of st. Paul, Supreme Physician,
urged the officers and delegates to
direct the attention of candidates to
the excellent insurance features of
the Order. Minneapolis delegates gave
much praise to the members of Brain
erd Council for their hospitality and
for the excellent manner in which they
looked after the comfort and conven-
fence Of those in attendance. The
delegates attended mass in a body at

Winona, Mimi, May 1O-Dr. James
]. Walsh, of New York, delivered the
principal address at the closing ex-
ercises of the Shakespearian Com
memoration program recently held in
this city. This celebration was given
under the auspices of the College of
st. Teresa and lasted three days. DR..
Walsh spoke of the social life of the
time Of Shakespeare and pleaded for
more leisure in our present day life.
He pointed out that the greatest prog
ress ever made by nations has been
made during periods in history when
people devoted practically one-third
of their time to leisure and innocent
amusements. He cited as examples,
the Golden Age of Greece, Italy dur
ing the time of Dante and England
during the Eliznbsthan period. In
conclusion DR.. Walsh stated that al
though we are concentrating the an
niversary of the death of this great
dramatist, he is in fact, more truly
alive today than ever before and that
he is exerting a wider influence on the
human race at the present time than
he did during his life time.

After five years with Belasco in
'Zaza," ''DU Barry and ''The AuC-
tioneer," Ruth st. Denis still could
not accept this emotional, biting
scratching type of drama as an ideal.
In a drugstore one day she saw a
cigarette poster of Isis, goddess of
the Nile, and she stood transfxed.
''This, - she said, ''is what want
to be-the soul of a people, a great
impersonal, spiritual ideal L not a
petty, jealous human"
She worked for two years, until
out Of her study there came 'Rahd1
da, the Mystic Dance of the Five
Senses" which y represents midas
supreme woman diety in her temple
coming to life to teach the great les
son to mankind that in the gratifica-
ton Of the senses is only despair and
that real happiness and peace are at
tanned through the spirit.
The first little picture shown with
this story was her original attempt at
costuming. It is amateurish, isn't it?
And yet can you not see in that girl
iSh face the power or the idea which |
kept her at this dance for IL years? |
"Rahdha" walked Broadway for six
months after she was ready for the
public before any manager would |
consent to even a tryout, for, before |
the advent of Ruth St. Denis, all
America knew of the Oriental. dance |
was the hootChee-cOotchee of the
Midway Plaisance, and it was in |
great disTepute.
Finally 'Rahdha" appeared at a |
Sunday night concert at Proctor's, a |
New York vaudeville house. The |
smoke-filed atmosphere and the |
noisy audience seemed to augur i'll |
for a dance which tried to teach the
remuneration of the Senses And yet
even that light-headed group of peo-
pie watched with admiration and ale |

important people of New York gath
cred. At that matinee the success Of
'Rahdha" was established.
But Ruth st. Denis did not rest,
even though the public proclaimed
'Rahdha" the most wonderful and
beautiful dance ever created. Con-
stantly she worked at the costume,
changing and altering here and
there; at the music and the move
ments to polish them and perfect
them. Three times she had COM
pletely different stage settings made
for the dance. There was not a per-
Torrance but what she was trying
just some little detail different that
would make "Rahdha" even more
perfect as medium of expression
of the message she wished to give to
the people who came to see.
Now, after LOO performances ex-
tending over ten years, twelve since
the idea was born, during which time
she has danced in London, Berlin,
Vienna, Paris and four times com
pletely across the United States and
back, she still works. When "Rah-
dha" is presented before the public
again it will be even more finished
dance, but changed in details imper-
ceptible to even one familiar, for so
keen is the artistic judgment of Ruth
st. Denis that if one hair is parted
on one side of her head rather than
on the other, it seems she knows why
and has done it so for a purpose.
In this day Of mushroom dancers
there are many girls who think one
season of adulatiOn from the public
should place them in the class of
Ruth st. Denis. The Bernhardts and
st. Denises are not made in a day. It
is the accumulated years of work,
the season after season of perfect
work that builds a greatname.
