Of anywhere and everywhere and discovered that the freedom and | beauty of the dances, which were characteristic of the emotions of a people, gave the proper exercise to the development of girls minds and bodies.
 Miss Burchenal's sister, Ruth, who is secretary of the American Folk Dance Society, likes to tell the story.
 One morning Elizabeth was eating breakfast when Dr. Luther G. Gulick, former head of the physical education department at Teachers College, walked in. H. insisted that she had to resign and come to work with him in the pub lie school system of New York. of which he was then the head. There was no physical education provision made for girls anywhere at that time.
 While my sister finished break fast he wrote out her resignation. Then he went with her while she delivered it.
 After that she was given a school and told to experiment. She found that folk dances gave the

SHE HELPS TO SAVE FOLK DANCES
 OF THE WORLD

New York, Sept. 9-Miss Eliza beth Burchenal looked over the girls who had gathered on the gym floor at Teachers College, Columbia University.
 There they stood, long lines of them, dressed in bulging black bloomers and heavy white middies. They were taking gym because they had to, she decided. They weren't especially happy about it. either. Public schools didn't offer such training. This was new to them. So Elizabeth Burchenal decided to put theory she had into prac- tice.
 People have to exercise their minds and enjoy what they are do- ing, if physical training is going to do them any good" she said. I'll try folk dancing!"
 She started the girls on the dances which people of all the coun- tries of the world had used to ex- press their reactions when they were very sad or very glad. or a little bit wistful
 A Changed Attitude The girls forgot the bare gym. They thought of village greens and peasants in the red and gold and blues of far lands who danced till the sun went down.
 They strengthened their shoul- ders and relaxed, and were happy! Its just fun" Elizabeth Bur- chenal said. After all, there isn't any physical training offered to school girls, and I want to make my students feel desire to teach others and maybe sometime the spirit will spread"
 That was back in 1907.
 But just the other day, Eliza beth Burchenal, the slender, laughing eyed girl who tried to teach people to be happy while they exercised, sailed away to Belgium, as the delegate of the United States Government, to the International Commission of Pop ular Arts. She is Americas first official representative in the world wide attempt to save the folk lore of the world.
 Miss Burchenal went with whole string of honors trailing after her. She is president of the American Folk Dance Society. She is the worlds best authority on folk dances of every nation. She has written or edited eleven volumes on the subject. She is the founder or physical education for women in the United States.
 And it all came about because she has delved into folk customs

, girls the proper body balance. Minds and bodies both received recreation. Her reports formu- lated the principles which have ever since been basic in physical education"
 There was a demand for teach CTS for the new art Only Eliza beth Burchenal knew the secret. So she travelled over the country training 27,ooO instructors. ..... Lady Aberdeen. wife of the viceroy of Ireland. saw an exhi- bition staged in Central Park in New York City. Ireland needed recreation. She took Miss Bur- chenal back to Dublin with her.
 Teachers came Hooking to learn this new rhythmic expression that was really so old. When 500 were enrolled the course had to close it's doors against tht people who still came.
 Widely Known as Experts
 All through the internal troubles in Ireland the folk dances have 6OilC Otl. olIlcI IldIlOuS udSO ICSIVi ed the customs of dancing on tho green, letting their emotions out in a rhythmic beauty, too. And no matter where people dance, or what they dance, in the folk lore world, Elizabeth and Ruth Burchenal arc hailed as experts.
 The Folk Dance society, which was formed in 1916, is endeavor- ing to documentize folk dances, music and games of American ori- gin, and those which have been brought to America. Miss Ruth Burchenal is secretary, and an. other sister, Miss Emma Bur chenal. is accompanist for Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, president of the institution and the worlds most highly recognized folk danc- ing authority.
 The League of Nations, in 1927, called a Folk Art Congress. Dances and songs of people, given from the heart, are much alike. The world leaders thought that the people might get closer to- gether by going back to tho very teginning.
 Besides, as Elizabeth once said, If people can enjoy what they gro doing it is more helpful"
 And whenever the congress meets, in France, Italy or Belgium. Elizabeth Burchenal is there, proving that America has 8 folk lore Of her own, born of her mountaineers.
 And also helping other nations rediscover theirs.

He not only was big but he was handsome Even Impy had to admit that he was handsome. Apparently little Miss Frisky thought so too. When the stranger moved toward her she darted down be- tween some stones. lmpy could see her peeping out at the big stranger. It was quite clear that she admired him.
 Right then and there jealousy filled the heart of Impy the black Chipmunk. He was jealous of that big stranger, He didn't want little Miss Frisky to admire him. He did mt want that big stranger around at all. He wanted little Miss Frisky all to himself. Almost before he realized what he was doing he had harked d sharp challenge to the big, handsome stranger, Instantly he stranger tuned md parked lack at him, Hoge as black as his own coat filled ImpN.

Impy, the black Chipmunk. was certain there wasn't another Chip munk in all the Great World as beautiful as little Miss Frisky You see, IIspy had fallen in love with little Miss Frisky. She was a very shy little person. She seemed to Impy to be a very timid little per son. Sometimes she would run away from Impy; sometimes she would stay for a little while, but if he tried to approach closely she would run away. It got so that most of the time while he was awake lmpy was thinking of little Miss Frisliy.
 Impy had tried to find cut just where little Miss Frislly lived, but so far he had no succeeded, He knew that it wa3 not a great dis tance from his own home and he knew in a general way where it was. But though he had hunted and hunted he had not found the en- trance. When little Miss Frisky did not come over to see him he would go to see her; that is, he would go over near where she lived. Some times he saw her and sometimes he did not.
 Now. 1t happened one morning that Impy waited in vain for little Miss Frisky to appear. Finally he started to look for her, He was al- most over to the place where he thought she lived when he caught a glimpse of Chipmunck running along a fence rail His first thought was that it was little Miss Frislly and he started after her as fast as he could go, But when he got 3 real good look at this Chipmunk q little doubt crept into his mind
 of that is Frisky, she certainly has grown overnight" though Impy "Yes. sir. she certainly has grown overnight. And the stripes on her coat are not just as I remember them. Can it be that there is an other Chipmun!,?''
 Just then he heard a rustic off 10 one side, and turning quickly he caught a glimpse of little Miss Trisky herself There wa no doubt about 1t. No. sir. there was no doubt about it. Impy knew then that the other Chipmunk was stranger He was just preparing to jump down in front of little Miss Frlsky when he heard rustling of leaves again; and there was the stranger racing after little Miss Frisky as fast as he could go He paid not the slight est attention to Impy Impy didn't know just what to do. In the first place, he was almost too much sur prised to do anything, excepting 10 sit there and ctare.
 My goodness, tkat stranger k bigger than T." thought Impy And he's chasing Fric5y Yes, sir, hes chasing Fricky! l wonder if he knows Frisky."
 Impy started after the other two. Presently he came in sight of them Little Miss Frislty was sitting on a big stone. The big stranger was sit ting on another stone facing her.

plex and all ihe rest of the inhibi- tions, you know on whom he's showering all the pretty posies. But that's neither here, nor yet there. see your point and Lil's, and l SUD- pose the gist of the whole matter is that we mustn't risk wounding the vanity of the great sultan by refus- ing to wear his flowers. Is that it?'
 I looked at him with sudden in spration.
 "Dicky, before I answer that question. 1 want you to answer one for me. Have you the remotest idea that either for policy's sake-on my own account-or from preference, l would exchange a single dandelion blossom from you for the costliest bouquet Philip Veritzen or any oth- CT man could send me?"
 My eyes held his steadily. and with a little leap of my pulses I saw his face soften and a tender smile curve his lips.
 "Ill admit I'm fatuous enough to believe that"
 Then" I pressed homo my ad- vantage swiftly. Cant you be gen. erous and-'
 "Oh! I'll countermand the order for the bouquet" he conceded airily.
 "But-I don't want you to, even though it is terribly eXtravagant. I am going to wear MT. Veritzen's flowers as a shoulder knot, but I'm going to take two or three blossoms from yours and tuck them in at my waist. The rest I'll have in my room. I suppose I'm terribly senti- mental, but I'd like to feel blossoms of yours close-'
 Another Cause of Irritation
 "To your heart?" Dicky asked softly. yet with whimsically curving lips. We were being terribly banal I knew. but I cared no whit.
 Yes" I acknowledged, and he swiftly put his hand over mine. Then his lace darkened and I knew that some fresh cause Of irritation had just come to him.
 Look heic," he said, withdraw ing his hand, 1T don't mind your wearing that old goats flowers as long as he's sending them to all the women guests, but I do mind his getting the idea that he's beating me out on the proposition. When l came into the dining-room a few minutes ago, I heard him ask you if you had decided whose flower. you were to wear, and of course that meant he knew l was sending you a bouquet. Yet no one save you knew that little thing"
 I looked at him steadily.

 with Reservations
 There was that in Dicky's tone which made me loath to answer his query concerning the method of handling Philip Veritzen which Lil- lian had advised. But 1 dared not hesitate I did not wish him to feel that I attached any especial impor- tance to the proposition l was about to make. And I did wish him to understand the truth, that the idea was Lllian's from inception to possible con ,lusion.
 Lillian thinks we ought to hu- nor him as far as possible, in the same manner that one treats any mentally sick person.
 Dicky struck his fist upon the ta- ble and I shot a side glance toward the end of the room where Purnell was working which brought swift, muttered apology.
 Dicky Becomes Tractable
 Sorry, I won't explode again. But when you talk about humorins that hyena-the way I'd humor him would be with a club studded with jagged nails-I see red all over the place. Go ahead. 1 begin to see light. In just what particulars do you and Lii wish the dear old thing hunlored?"
 I felt my courage slipping, snatched at it and held it steadily.
 Its about this party" I said. T have counted so on Mary having a perfect evening and I was afraid that Mr. Veritzen would spoil it by some exhibition of his enmity to- ward her But instead he has seen- ed unusually interested, and as you know, not only offered theater boxes at his house for the whole party, but also insisted upon sending all the cut flowers and corsage bou- quets for all the women guests. It's wonderful of him to do it for her.
 I had kept up bravely up to this point, though conscious that Dickys quizzical eyes fixed on me held sar- donic mockery. But when he gave an exasperated little snort l faltered and flushed.
 You'd better blush" he said, but l was relieved to hear nothing but amused mockery in his voice. ''I'N fall for the humoring stunt, and a lot of others. but when you calmly state that Phil Veritzens playing the bountiful caliph at this party because of Mary, you tax my credu- lity, or that of anybody else a bit too far. Mary could go without flow CTS until she had to go out and pick dandelions in the backyard for all Phil Veritzen cares, and you know is better than anybody.

with q Mother won't love you if you do that"
 When mother is in an afectionate mood she takes Pearl in her arms: Eugs and kisses her, and tells her over and over again how much mother loves her little girls, She literally teaches her to respond.
 Truly maternal love is seldom ex- pressed in such emotional scenes. Only mother whose love for her child is not as serene and disinter- ested as it should be, makes much to do about it.
 The very emphasis which she places upon the demonstration Of affection gives her away.
 A really well-loved child does not often want to say, 'I love you" nor does he ever think of saving it to win the favor of tho newcst conner.
 His love for those who are near 10 them is something which he dos not need 10 think about. His rnla- tionahips 10 other people are friend ly but unemotional,
 He has not been taught the 11n- happy art Of using an emotional appeal to wangle favors
