IT &fe A young girl asks ma what Is the hap piest time of woman'! life. It la Impossible to answer this question definitely, or to even hazard a guess as to whether ace or youth Is mora likely to 'be the halcyon time I of Ufa. Happiest depends , upon conditions aad circumstances, and It varies with each , Individual. There, are women wbo have hard and ) hitter youths, and beautiful and lovely old aces, and there .are others, whose I early years are Joy. lous snd their last years filled with ! tears and sorrow. 1 But what la the happiest tlms of life 'for a woman ? Host .people would answer 'childhood. We al ways associate childhood with joy, and 'are apt to believe that any fairly well jtaken-care-of boy or girl la at the bap 'piest hour of life, I I think that childhood Is one of the imost miserable times of life because In it one has neither perspective nor phllo iophy. Every little disappointment Is a Might- jln tragedy n - . . I Even thing that goes awry Is B final .catastrophe. - i . ) Every cross word a stab to the heart ; Let It but rain so that one cannot go to picnic and oaa Is plunged Into the depths of a black despair, and feels that there Is nothing; else In life worth trying to live for. Let someone but make a Jest of some little peculiarity, and one, If a child, endures all the shame and chagrin ot unmerited disgrace. After we ret older we see things In their true proportion. Trifles sink into their proper Ins! ml fl ic nee. i Little worries and disappointments no (longer afflict us. ) We have learned that there Is always (tomorrow, and something coming by way of consolation. j Also, we acquire a certain Insensibility jto the pinpricks of existence. ! Childhood has Its radiant moments of acute Joy. but none of us want to live at over again. Its sufferings were too poignant. ' vVhat Is the happiest time of a woman's fcfe? Is It matronhood? The altar Is the beacon of every younf Iclrl'a hopes. It is the climax of every novel. "And then they were married, aad lived ftappiiy ever afterward," Is the way all (the fairy tales end. Surely the woman who has married the (ran of her choice, who has a home, and a. strong arm 4 protect her axahwt the (world, and who baa nolh.n; else U do lut the beautiful work of making a home. I.as reached the golden hour c? her life. To a few women this Is try, but to the treat majority of women marriage bring j, only a shattering ot ideals and a blast ing disappointment. The fond lover turns Into the neglect ful or grouchy husband. The billing and cooing la superseded by growls aver the buteher snd grocer bills. The thrill of romance d ea down Into the dull monotony of every day life where It la a constant strain to make the ends meet between income an expenditure. There's nothing particularly hilarious in the life ot the average married woman. It is a gray fabric shot through with a few gold threads, but she'd never make a garment ef It In which to clothe her soul when she wanted to celebrate her happiest time of life. To some women the happiest hour of life is when they first hold their new born babea on their breast. That la a minute of rapture, pure and complete, that pays for all other disappointments and Bufferings of existence. And there are other golden hours that they spend with their little children that are more precious than they know until the time has passed. But even this happiness Is clouded with anxiety, aad dulled for many women by ceaselese labor until they are too tired to really sense Its beauty. There eomes, also, the happiness of old age when a woman's work Is done, and she sits with folded hands and quiet heart In the twDlght. . . For her the battle Is over, the Strug gla ended, the wounds healed,,, but thla happiness la the end. It la what tfe hop for as a consola tion, not what youth looks forward to In answer to its desire, The consensus of opinion among women la that the happiest time in a woman's life la the little span ot girlhood that lies between the schoolroom and the altar. - That la why mothers are so pathetically anxious to give their young daughters a good time, and to Indulge them in every possible way. People criticise the mother who turns her old frock In order that Mamie may have another party dress; who tiptoes past Mamie's door In order not to wake her ot a morning when she goee down to cook breakfast for the family; who slaves ever the sewing machine while Mamie la off playing tennis. . They do not know, as the woman does, that she Is doing all she can to give Mamie her golden hour untarnished. She knows that life with Its cares snd burdens must soon press upon the young shoulders; that there sre bound to be dlsllluslonments for her; that the gilt will rub off ot her gingerbread, and her fairy prince turn Into an ordinary grocery clerk, and the rose-embowered cottage ot her dreams become a two by four flat with her stewing over the range Instead of gathering daisies in green fields, but between the school world and the, hard work-a-day world lies this little strip of paradise the young girl's world which tha mother Is determined to secure her daughter If It is possible if you should ask any old woman what was the happiest time ot her life, her (ace would grow suddenly young and tender and she would say, "When t was a girl with a glrl'e dreams."

Hi fame wtljL The evcoompaayisg ilhutiav tions show Maurice and his partner, in two positions of the Turkey Trot. Contrary to the general be lief, many graceful poses are introduced into this dance, as is shown where Maurice is standing behind his' partner. in this position they can do the "rock," the "bend" or the "slide" and regular two-step. The other picture shows a position in one of the "slides." , t t " 1 Nk.j . SaV k Hi . 4- s r. rv.:; ' " air nift (ft?, A ' I hat ta dispel an Illusion, but t must tell you thst th famoua turkey trot the grlsiy besr snd most ot tha sensa tional dances which are the vogue today ere variations ef the famous Mstcheech, the Apache dance which I did In Parte several years ago and which created such a furore, ragtime and African dancas. The turkey trot Is hard to describe. No two people dance it quit alike, and I vary my own steps according ta th music to which I am dancing it. The mala thine about the tnrkey trot Is thst it is danced ta two-step time and that yon must get, the sldewlse, rocking movement of the body. This is not the suggestive movement of the Andalusian dances or even of the "rag" dance, but a freak, beletereua demonstration of high spirits and fuse . The turkey trot, as it Is danced In eo oelj'. is tunny aad ant vul.su-. Th dancer lake It. a a hug Joks, and 1 whll It will never rank high as aa ex hibition ot elegant dancing, except by the peepl who have been carefully taught and drilled, it H less stilted then any other dance and consequently young people wb Ilk to romp over th ball room Toer will onntlno th turkey trot or do th aa Pranetsee slid despite everything that I said against It . In dancing th turkey trot you csn begll with the ordinary two-etep and then with th change hs the music gn over to, the "rock." it a good "rag" at played in syncopated time, keep the rythm alternating with a hunch ot th shoulders and th rock ef th body. Th partners should bend aa far to the side aa poesluie. th limb an held tiff and th feet are stamped flat oa to tha floor, bending first to one side then to the other, and bending, of course, to the side on which the foot Is on the floor while the other foot is ta th air, this leg being held perfectly stiff. During- thla rocking the male dancer holds his partner closely to hint, having both arms around her. She places both hands on hia shoulders. The charts from on "rock" ta other steps Is al ways done by mean o( a few bar danced In the ordinary two-step. Another turkey trop step: The part ner change from the ordinary dancing position by facing tha same way, hands clasped In front; be holds her around the waist; aha haa one band oa hi shoulder. ,ow they do the ssme "rock." bending forward and back, ending with a pause In the music and a graceful poee. Th dancer catches hi partner around the waist; shs leans back a far a possible, srms spread out This poee need not be acrobatic though It sounds ss If It were. It can be graceful and artistic, and so can all the rest of the turkey trot for that matter; It depends entirely on the dancers. In bending and sliding yoa can be aa graceful aa yoa would be In any other dance. On the other hand, yoa can danc R In an eccentric way and be awkward or funny, if you can do that Boa people are naturally funny, and It doesn't much matter what they do. you can't teacn them to be elegant because they look comic no matter how hard they try. For such people, snd there are girls ss well as men of thst type, these new dance prove Irresistible, and the dancers themselves always are funny and make a "hit" But you most know you're really tunny to dance In an eccentric manner. If you are not some kind friend will make a few "pleasant" remarks snd you will be branded as "vulgar" Instead. Ther I Just a small step between the two la theee dances. Of course, facta! expression plays a great part In dancing, and that la another thing that shouldn't be overdone. When you dance th turkey trot don't remember what you've heard about It It la not as bad aa it's painted. It can bo danced In a Jolly, fun-making sort of way. and if yoa put any suggestions into It thst Is your mstter aad doesn't bo long ta th dance by right. There 1 nothing -eepeetalry alluring about a tnrkey hopping around la there? And th tnrkey trot I a kind of human Imitation of th thaagsglvlng emblem. If yon have good music and a good partner, th dance goes eft aa if one were tasplied.
