THE preparing OF the artistic
dance has been steadily, in
= creasing and the Marion Nor
gan dancers, who are now going to
England, will show It's sdevelopment
along the lines that have brought
them fame here.
Marion Morgan is a strong advo-
cate Of the teaching of dancing to
the young.
Dancing is an art" she says "and
as such should be studied. Sac
rifice and toll, especially toll, is the
price one must pay to excel in dane
ing. The sacrifice OF all opposing
influences Is essential. Late hours,
frivolous companions, are fatal to
progression in art.
Dancing should begin in child
hood when the mind and body are
plastic. The child should be given
natural movements. such as skip
ping, running. leaping and big arm
moVements-such movements that
tend to retain the childish mind in
accordance with natures plan.
"The child should study music
enough to give her knowledge or
rythm. tempo and mood.
Dancing, IL must be remembered,
is mental. not physical. The mere
movement of arms and legs does not
constitute dancing. The idea hrst,
then. is the visualizing Of 1t to the
spectator, and 1t is one thing to feel
the dance yourself and quite an
other thing to make your audience
feel IL.
"You must not only think mood,
you must be that mood. and to the
degree that you are that mood to
the same degree will the audience
feel that mood. This Is the secret
Of characterizing, that most subtle
and alluring OF all arts"

Keeping Your
Health

M oST people eat more protein
N food, such as meat and eggs
49, than is desirable. Economy
as well as health should deter us a
bit in this matter. A sufficiency
of protein food may be obtained
through the consumption Of milk,
fish, peas and beans, and not only
a sufficiency, but in a more desir-
able form.
The over-indulgence in meats is
a recognized factor in the causation
of our high adult mortality.
II meat protein Is not promptly
digestcd and assimiIated, decompo-
sition occurs, with the result that
intestinal poisoning supervenes,
commonly known as autointoxiea-
tion, or toxemia. This produces
headache, Eouty symptoms. ner-
vousness, insomnia, so-called bill
iousness. hardening of the blood
vessels and degenerative disease
of the liver and kidneys. The kid
neys become affected by reason OF
the strain on these organs to elm
mate the products of decomposition.
4 good diet for most people con-
sists OF oatmeal. cornmeal. vegeta-
blesr fruits, milk. sugars, fish, and
bread and butter.
Cheese consists largely Of pro-
tein. but its consistence is such
that the digestive fluids cannot act
upon 1t very easily. For practical
purposes we may class II with meat
and eggs. 1t is a valuable food
substance for workers performing
hard physical labor.
Middle-Sged and elderly people
should eat = large amount of fruits
and vegetables because OF their ef-
feet in promoting intestinal elimi-
nation. Unless such elimination is
encouraged the likelihood OF the
carly onset OF the degenerative dis
cases is increased.
Young people may safely eat a
larger proportion of meat protein
than adults, because of their great
er activity. Those who exercise
but little. or not at all, and who
eat freely or meat two or three
times a day, are directly inviting
intestinal auto-intoxication, uric
acid troubles and the degcnerative
diseases.
In cold weather We need reIa-
lively more hest-produCing foods
fats, sugars. and in hot weather
more Of the fruits and vegetables.

aient in food value Of six eggs and .

living in the plot Of a romance full
of mystery and diplomacy and dan
geFous possibilities. I hope some
thing will develop, as something al
ways does in novels.
And, alas! my imagination, which
always has been vivid, needed al
most nothing to blaze into flame.
1t is on fire now; 1 dream of courts
and armies, and ambassadors, and
spies: construct stories in which 1
am the heroine always-sometimes
the interesting and temporary VIC
tim of wicked plots; sometimes the
ull-poWerful dauntless, and adroit
champion OF honor and righteous
ness against treachery and evil
Did you ever suppose that I still
could remain such a very little
girl? But fear that I shall never
outgrow my Imagination. And
il needs almost nothing to set me
dreaming out stories or drawing pic
lures Of castles and princes and
swans and fairies. And even this
letter seems a part of some breathe
lessly interesting plot which 1 am
not only creating but actually liv-
ing part of and destined to act in.
Do you want a part in it Shall 1
your permission, for 1 have already
included you. And. somehow,
think the Yellow Devil ought to be
included, too.
Please write to me, Just once.
But don't speak of the papers which
father had, and don't mention Herr
Conrad Wilner's box if you write.
The princess says your letter might
be stolen.
Rue Is Very Happy.
I am very happy. It is rather
cold tonight. and presently Suzanne
will unhook me and I shall put on
such a pretty negligee, and then
curl up in bed, turn on my reading
light with the pink shade, and con-
tinUe to read the new novel recon-
mended to Rne by Princess Naia,
called lie CrlIne de Sylyestre Bon
nard." 1t is a perfectly darling
story, and Anatole France, who
wrote il, must be a darling, too.
The Princess knows him and prom
ises that he shall dine with us some
day. I expect to fall in love with
him Immediately.

summer.
Then came the last of her letters

"oh, yes,"I said. 'GIy father took
charge OF it."
Obi It was supposed at the time
that all Of Herr Wilner's personal
property was destroyed when the
school and compound burned. Do
you happen to know just what
was saved, mademoiselle?"
Thought Of Bronze Demon.
OF course, I Immediately thought
Of the bronze demon, the box of in
p struments, and the photographs and
papers at home with which 1 used
to play as a child. I remembered
my father had said that these
things were taken on board the
Oneida when he, my mother, and I
were rescued by marines and sailors
from our guard vessel which came
through the Bosporus TO the Black
sea, and which escorted us to the
Oneida And / was going to tell
this to Izzet Bey when I also re.
membered what the. princess. had
Just told me about giving any in
formation to Ahmed Pasha- So I
merely. opened my eyes very inno-
Gently and gazed at Colonel Izzet
and shook my, head as, though did
not understand his question.
The next instant the princess
came in to see what I was about so
long, and she looked at Izzet Bey
with q funny sort OF smile, as
though she had surprised him in
mischief and was not angry, only
amused. And when Colonel Izzet
bowed, saw how red his face had
grown-as red as his fez.
The princess laughed and said in
French: THAT is the difference be-
tween professional and amateur
between Nizam and Redif-between
Ahmed Pasha and ouf esteemed but
very youthful attache-who has
much yet to learn about that end
less war called Peace!"
I didn't know what she meant,
but Izzet Bey turned a bright scar
let, Bowed again, and returned to
the smoking room.
And that night, while Suzanne was
unlocking me. Princess Naia came
into my bed room and asked me
some questions, and told her about
the box of instruments and the
diary, and the slippery linen pa
pers covered with drawings and
German writing. with which used
to play.
Sworn to Secrecy.
She said never to mention them to
anybody, and that I should never
permit anybody to examine those
military papers. because it might be
harmful to America ..
How odd and how thrilling!

this means. 1t seems like an excit-

hears a great deal about the en-
bassies here being hotbeds of po-
