By S. MILDRED STRAUSS.

You will never get the greatest sat
isfaction from exercise and q healthy
body unless you use your imagination
as well as your muscles.
If you go through a routine Of
exercises like an autonaton, you may
acquire physical dexterity and IA
cility, but you will never attain that
JOY of living and zest for expression
that really makes it worth while to
train your body.
Use Imagination.
Therefore 1 suggest that you bring
into play your imagination where
ever possible Instead Of merely GO
ing through exercises, actually do
something,
Follow a line in the carpet and
imagine you are tight-rope walker.
yourself balancing and swaying as
performer does, and you will get ex-
ercise for your fancy as well as your
body.
Imagine that you are lifting heavy
weights from the floor, or that you
are climbing a rope, grasping it
firmly for support. Imagine you
are rowing a boat or pulling like a
longshoreman. Imagine you are
jumping hurdles or throwing dis
Gus, or doing any physical exertion
that intrigues your fancy. If you
can visualize yourself sufficiently in
the role you are playing you will
find you are using more and more
energy and more imagination. And
you will quite lose track Of the fact
that you are merely cultivating
| muscle.
Dancing.
have said very little in this Sc
ries of articles about dancing. AL
though / teach dancing, teach first
the use of the body, and, when you
have learned to use your body and
mental impulses you feel, you can
dance almost without instruction.
Then when you hear music it will
suggest to you certain rhythmic
pattern which you can create in
your own way. 1t will be an indi-
vidual Interpretation. When you
can get this physical control you
dance because you want to.
When you look at great master
pieces of art and sculpture, and
when you see artists express them
selves through the dance, you will
be able to analyze what you see and
to understand what makes it great.
A woman of my acquaintance, who
lived where it was impossible for her
to have the advantages Of good in
struction in dancing, learned to be
most graceful and beautiful in her
motions because she studied poses of
famous statues and paintings and cop
led them until she naturally fell into
beautiful poses.
Get over the idea that exercise is
an ardous task. Don't believe it
is something to be endured, only as
a means toward an end. Make it
interesting in itself and realize that
through it you have another means
of mental expression, another me-
dunn. for extracting joy and happi-
ness from life.

Student of Freud Says Both Sexes
Are Fettered.

DR.. Margaret Daniels, psyche

that ct is disgrace that the pres
ent marriage laws are kept on the
statute books. AS they NV stand. she
said, they make marriage a prison
house for men and women alike.
Il wish we could rear a race of
girls" said the speaker, who would
be able to give up marriage and
children unless they can find men
suited to them, physically, mentally
and spiritually. Women should be
strong enough to reject such fate
full and criminal compromise as mar
riage that is not beautiful"
DR.. Daniels critized the popular
idea that there are differences in the
chara cteristics of men and women,
declaring that there is more real va
ria ton between women and women.

HONOR TO LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln-the man and the
held yesterday in two Washington
churches.
Speaking from the pulpit Of the
church which Lincoln attended In
Washington, Rev. DR.. Joseph r. Sizoo,
pastor of the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church, declared that Lin
coin was Gods man of destiny" the
squarest and fairest man who ever
lived.
Memorial services were held last
night in honor of Lincoln by a group
of colored citizens at the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church, under the
auspices of the Lincoln Mutual Re
lief Association. The occasion was
the 116th anniversary celebration of
the society. Senator Frank B. Willis
of Ohio was the speaker.
Had Three Books.
Abraham Lincoln had three great
teachers. Those teachers were the
wilderness, his mother and his
books" DR.. Sizoo said at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
He had but three books in his early
days-a Life of Washington, Aesop's
Fables and the Bible.
mo one ever went from a cradle so
humble to a grave so illustrious. The
Almighty takes pleasure in using the
lowliest for the highest. The least
promising are given names above all
other names. Those who have ac
complished the most for humanity
have been born in the humblest home.
1t was so with Lincoln.
You cannot explain Lincoln. He
is beyond defining. He was not the
product Of his age, his home, his in
heritance or his environment. He
was Gods man of destiny. He wflled
that birth. There always will be
Lincoln for every crisis. Stephen A
Douglas said Lincoln was the squar-
est and fairest man who ever lived
Robert E. Lee said he thanked God
the South did not win its fight for Sc
cession.
Lincoln is not dead. His soul goes
marching on. In this new day with
its new deliverances from injustice,
tyranny, intolerance and inhuman
ity the spirit of the martyred lib
orator still lives"
Pictures the Man.
Before group of members of the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Women's Relief Corps and represent
atives of many colored organizations
in Washington, Senator Willis drew
a picture of Lincoln. the man, bring
ing out the human qualities Whlch
endeared him alike to both sides in
the civil strife of 1S61-65. . The Ohio
Senator described the Lincoln home
in Salem as il stands today, and re-
ferred to the practical political keen
ness with which Lincoln combined
the qualities of statesman and or
ator.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address was
read by Mrs. T. Letitia Lewis. and
the annual sermon to the associa-
ton was delivered by Rev. Walter H.
Brooks. pastor of the Nineteenth Street
Baptist Church. DR.. Brooks said
that Lincoln was truly a man of des-
tiny. A history of the association
was read by Lucian H. Thompson,
and the invocation was delivered
by Rev. ]. n. Beaman, president of,
the association. William II. Hender-
