A German actor, Parlatus, has
broken the endurance speaking record,
it is said, talking continuously for
more than 45 hours. We're proud to
say that many obscure American
women could probably Guido him in
any fair contest.

Mussolini says the newspapers may
not criticize his government but may
say anything they want to about his
violin playing. However, we doubt
that the Italian papers want to fid-
die around with that.

greater symmetry.
Professional tennis players pro-
coed along more scientific lines
than do amateurs, who, not follow
ing the same elaborate course, are
less fortunate in the outcome as far
as grace goes.
1 vary my dance steps and dance
exercises, never doing the same
ones two days in succession.
In training the young girls of my
ballet, I proceed along that line. Not
only does it bring far better re-
suits, but fatigue from long hours
of rehearrals is reduced to a mini
mum.
In professional dancing, versatil-
ity is a prime necessity; therefore
practice must be versatile. The long
list Of national dances to be mas
tered is certainly formidable, and
the interpretative dances are end
less.
Each brings its set of muscles into
play; each gives the dance-enthusi-
asst some special share of grace to
add to her accumulated store of it.

Grace is a natural possession OF
the American girl, due to her love
of dancing, sports and activ tiles
And in sports she has proved her
self in many directions a formidable
rival to the opposite sex.
To meet all these calls and her
social duties, she possesses vital
freshness and buoyant energy
In sports, however, as in dane
ing, there are certain things which
detract most decidedly from grace.
and should be avoided. Observation
and the study of dancing since I was
a little child have impressed me
forcibly with this.
One of these detracting sources,
and a serious one, is too steady a
devotion to single sport employing
a single set of muscles.
The same objection arises to con-
filming oneself to a single set Of ex-
ercises in dancing.
To be thoroughly graceful and
symmetrically developed, not only
one set of muscles, but all should be
called into play. Exercise evenly
distributed and not too much OF
any kind is the only plan to follow.
People who are devoted to horse
back riding are apt to develop a
very ugly walk; those who play
tennis exclusively are also likely to
become ungraceful walkers, due In
part to wearing flat shoes con"
tinuously; also, tennis playing to
excess brings a certain lankiness OF
movement.
Variety in exercise, instead OF a
single set of them, plays a big part
in both sports and dancing IN de-
veloping the muscles Of the body

ercises one. day and another the
