How to Protect Lillian from the Machinatto,s of Brixton Is the Prob
 lem of Aadge and Katherine
 I looked at Katherine attentiyely as she made her vicious little com- ment upon the third degree" which had told her Prince Georges was administering to Charles Owen in the library.
 T gather that you do not care particularly for the gentleman" l said, keeping my voice low. al- though, indeed there was no danger of the dancers overhearing us. Princess Olina was throwing herself into the task of keeping little Caro- lyn Brixton interested, and was sue ceeding wonderfully. l knew that any spare attention she might have was being bestowed surreptitiously upon Noel, who was dancing with Mary as if he were treading the stars.
 Mary was equally absorbed, and when l turned my eyes toward the other couple. I saw with amusement slightly tinged with worry that Ronald and Marion were enjoying the dance and each others company most zestfully. Coquetry comes in- stinctively to most girls, and Marion, with her flower-like face upturned to Ronald's admiring eyes, was ''us- ing her lamps" in Dicky's atro- cious parlance, as skillfully and with as marked effect as if this were her thousandth collegiate dancing part ner instead of her first.
 Katherine did not speak until the dancers had whirled to the other side of the room, then she assented emphatically, though softly, to my comment upon her feeling toward Charles Owen.
 The mans . mess" she said. i've been watching him and that precious brother of his all the eve- ming. They were 50 busy keeping an eye upon Lillian and you that they never thought to look at the demure lady in the corner dutifully

!. Editors Note: This is the second of a series of six articles on How to Grow Graceful" written exclu- sively for NEA Service and The Herald by Doris Niles. youngest American dancer to head her own ballet organization.
 BY DORIS NILES
 One of the best examples of grace in walking is Queen Victoria of Spain. I have seen her cross a lawn pie whose eyes were fastened on her every movement. That was an or deal. And yet she seemed to float rather than to walk. The result was the very embodiment of natural, queenly grace.
 How did she accomplish il? Simply by applying the principles of the old fashioned waltz. She stepped on her heel and the bal ance was carried slowly forward to the toe. There was no jerking, no angularity. Even though the queen were not as lovely a woman as she is, that walk of hers would cause people to catch their breath in admiration.
 There are those who. taught toe dancing in the studio, follow the same principle in walking in the street. There is nothing worse than to so springing along on the toes, which is both unnatural and ungraceful. The most important rule in walking is to retain the relaxing idea Of light freedom Of step and of carriage of the body just as in the old fashioned waltz stepping first on the flat of the foot. then on the toe.
 To paraphrase an old saying when self consciousness comes in at the door. grace flies out of the window. Many d girl who is ma turally q graceful walker, if faced by a gazing multitude. would be | overcome with fear and timidity Consequently, she would walk ir an ungracaful way of which at any other time she would be utterly incapable.
 There is one reliable and only l way to avoid such experiences - know thc why and wherefore ol

TO CIRCLE ARCTIC
Dr.. Nansen Says Explorers
Society Plans Polar Flight
Next Summer.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 5.--Dr. Fridtjof
Nansen, pioneer Arctic explorer. here to
attend the centenary meeting Of the
American Peace Society, says that the
International Society Of Explorers Is
having a huge dirigible built in Ger
many for use In exploration voyages
into the Arctic. The dirigible will be
built about 800 feet long and carry
crew Of 80. The FIRST flight is planned
for next Summer, he said.
DIR. Nansen, who went closer TO the
pole than any other man untn Admiral
Peary reached II, does not believe that
observations made In air flights over
the Arctic regions are OF much value
as those made from the Ice with the ala
OF the old-fasht0ned dog sled.
"One cannot make successfui observa-
tions from "A moving dirigiblo or a fast
airplane," he said.
iIe believes the flight OF Capt. George
wilkins, however, was OF scientific value,
"He flew over an area that practically
was unknown" the explorer said, and
proved there was no land there"
DIR. NanEen urged establishment OF
permanent observation stations IN the
Polar regions as a means Of reporting
weather conditions on the North ATTAIN
Tie Ocean. A few such stations. he said,
have been established by Norway ana
Sweden.

amount of cooperation and has been
assured the continuance of its work for

A description Of the method adopted
by the wood chemical industry in meet
ing foreign competition by development
of by-productS was given the commit
tee today by W. II. Matthews of Menu
phiS. president OF the National Wood
Chemical Association.
During recent years diStillerS of wood
found themselves placed in position
of extreme jeopardy" Mr. Matthews
explained. because the German develop

market for ordinary wood alcohol.

The wood chemical industry was
forced To reconsider all OF its practices
