It is as though she had said to tri insurance agent: ... ' "My dislocated joints my dislo cated shoulders, .elbaws, t wrists, . neck, knees and ankles are my fortune. If accident os nature puts . me together again, I am lost! My, vocation la gone?" I; shall star vev. For . without my valuable disloca-.. Hons I would be as a hundred other dancers no novelty, no big salary pull left In me!" ,.. And: so Canary Djeli, who is a very pretty and graceful, dark-eyed girl, with a well-trained ; gift for dancing, has taken out an accident policy for , "ea'eh;. of her joints. She . made her r irk in Paris as . a . "danseuse Hlndoue" that is a Hindo ' dancer because of certain extraordinary poses and gestures she used while dancing in Oriental costume. "Salome," aa Xlons: to' the conventional 'category of. poseB and contortions. In that scant costume,-' after throwing off thrf last of : the r seven, veils, her. special, hip dislocation added a va riation which the Parisians found fascinating, ! This omboldened her to present wrists and elbows .with out their customary natural align ment. Alas', soon she discovered that thdse charming dislocations exact ed a penalty from nature. Nature made ; reprisals In certain painful inflammations nature's preliminary to healing those abnormalities which had corae to be Sahary Djeli's bread and butter. f "Mon Dieu!" said she to her maid, "if I lose my serious disloca tions I shah lose my engagement! Come quick! Dislocate me, Or we starve!" .. And so Sahary Djeli Is the only i dancer- -probably the only womaa woman dancer in the world whose joints ar, insured against ''acci dents" that will render them normal and li&e the joints of the rest of hp manlty.
