Heartbroken writes: "I am a young man IS years of age ttnd am In love with a girl six months my Junior. I have known the girl about a month and we have always walked to gether. She promises to go steady with me. About a week ago I Introduced her to a friend of mine and he stole her from me. I am a millionaire's son nnd a graduate of the high school and she Is poor but pretty and respectable. This young man Is a poor worklngmarl's -on. Can you tell me the reason why she doesn't want to go with me. I havo done her no harm. How can 1 win back her love?" Here Is a girl only 17& who Is wiser than most women twice her age: She knows that If the son of a poor man and the son of a millionaire aro equal In all but the stato of their fathers', finances the son of the poor, man Is the man who stands the greater chance of amounting to something. There may be the burden of "work on his shoulders, but that Is easier to carry than the burden of wealth. He hasn't the handicap that all that wealth means these . days In the temp tations It brings. He may not be able to take her out In an automobile., but there Is peace and happiness In "a walk that does not attend a Joy ride. He can't afford theaters and late suppers and the attendant high balls, and comes to her healthier In body and soul and mind because .of his limited means. Too poor to .spend money lavishly, he Is too poor to attract the attention of the curled and perfumed vampire, and when ho gives his love to a girl it Is a love that Is less apt to wander, Many a man Is true to one"woman be-, cause of his poverty, and many a man who has been fidelity Itself when every energy and thought were devoted to earn ing a living, becomes fickle and foolish when his wealth is assured. Women like all that wealth brings to them save this tendency to make their husbands stray. There Is many a woman whose husband has made mlllons, who would give up all the luxury his wealth has brought her If she could go back to the days of their poverty and possess his undivided love. This girl has learned Xrom the exper ience of others what a serious handicap the son of a millionaire carries. He has nothing to- offer her but an <eitl-jn that will be both expensive and flectlpg. He is only. 18, too young to marry with out his father's consent, and, being handi capped by wealth, Is unable to support a wife without his father's aldv He kuys he has done her no harm. She M show ing herself to be the rarely sensible hort, whom men like him could not do harm If they would. He wants to wlh her. He must forget lie Is a millionaire's on, nnd with th forgetting he must put away all a mil lionaire's son's bad habits. He may ja he hasn't them. That he must prove to the girl by hard work and good morals. The' love that Is the right sort reckons nothing of wealth. This girl's Is of th right sort, and Is Well worth' the winning Dancing One of the Oldest of the Arts Practice Reaches Back Beyond Recorded History Ancient Egyptians Had Dances as Part of Religious Ceremonies, but Lator Forbade Indulgence How .the Israelites Borrowed the Art and How the Greeks Improved Upon the Movements Handed On to Them. once wen- of I . r". 'V(f " 1 , By MARGARET HUBBARD AVER. Dancing Is one of the oldest of the arts. Three thousand years before Christ the Egyptians made pictures of their dancers on the temple walls, and these rude scrawls show us what kind or dances they enjoyed. Tho oldest Egy-- astronomical sit' " ' tlnded to desct figure, with tl The Egyptian period show mo: Here the dancers, int.i u- tfu.i.-n. .. on one. leg performing a scries of arm (movements. The couplan faced each other, as they do at present, but they did not touch one another, and the dance was a kind oPbalandng aotsuch as we stilt have In the ballet of today. Finally the dance became more Joyous and loss difficult to perform, and. the Egyptian priests forbade tho upper classes to dance, because they were already uf- tlulcntly pleasure loving and frivolous. But everybody did it Just tho same, and Cleopatra was a fine dancer and used her art to charm Julius Caesar himself. Tho Children of Israel learned to dance from tho Egyptians, and tho first tlmo dancing Is mentioned In the Hlblo Is after the crossing of tho Red sea, when Mlram. the Prophetess and Jhe sister of Aaron, 'took" a timbrel In her hand and V- In triumph with the sang and danced other women. The people also dunccd about the golden calf, and nfter that thero Is frequent mention of dancing In the Old Testa ment. Acrobatic dancer had 1ho Hppoared In Egypt before thu Israelites left, and they probably carried tho knowledge of this art buck with them. These acrobatic dancers were contortionists and walked on their hands with their bodies bent far back. The ordinary dance of religious sig nificance generally exprosed Joy and thanksgiving and was performed) to tho accompaniment of cymbals or tlm-1 brels, and later of trumpets and hurpn, ' I If urns nlnw nt nnlolf ncwirfllnir in Its significance, and the steps were a walk, short running step or u leap. The per. former endeavored to exhibit a great variety of nrm movements.

Oriental costumes Is to be bcllovcd, Tissot, the painter, Is right, uml the dance for which Herod sacrificed the Saint was nn acrobatic performance. Bulomo did not danco In tho sinuous veils, waving them beforo the dazzled eyes of the king, as she has been shown on all tho stages of thu world.

You ouclit to have club houses, or at I least halls for working girls, where they I can learn to pour tea and to gossip." : "To what?" I .asked Miss Harris Fu i n-ade, who has come from Atlanta, where ' she wits a belle In exclusive society, to 'give drawing room entertainments to the corresponding set In New York, I "It Isn't the tea at which you exclaim, I see," she retorted. "It Is the gossip. J Yes, I mean Just that. I should like to - see every girl learn to gossip prettily and i sweetly!" 1 "Is there anything sweet or pretty ! about gossip?" I saked. I "I assure. you, there s, and It Is neces- j sary. It serves the purpose of mental rest. The tired woman likes It. So does the tired man. Why does the tlrrd wo. ' man pick up .a light novel or a chatty atory In a magazine after a hard dixy's , work? It Is because her brain Is too weary to attack science or history or philosophy.

' Kor Instance, it might say to you, 'I Jut met Nancy She has a new hat and Hooka funny )n It. But she's a. mighty sweet girl.' That's good gossip." ' "Some women are very sensitive about their hats. Mats aro the crltei'ftrn of taste and when you criticise her hat you criticise her taste." "I don't see that. One may bo merely criticising an extreme faahlou whloh Nancy has adopted. Nanoy shouldn't be BenMtlvo about such a trifle. If she's well poised she would find a Joko In th I should be organized for gossip?" '"1 would make It broader than that. I should like to see clubs In which good gossip Is an Inoldendal feature. Your young girls don't look as happy as ours do. I would like to see their young faces relax under the genial Influence of play. Youth needs pla'y for its happl- 1 1 less, and for Its safety. "livery girt should have a chance to hat herself.

Gossip about a perron that you would repeat with a stnllo on your faco ami a glow of kindness in your heart, to her face, will never hurt airy one. I road a story once called 'The Golden Gossip' that I ' sliul' never forget. The heroine was a clr managers could open the galleries of their houses once a week to working girls, reducing the price of. admission or waiving It altogether, the best people would approve the measure and give them their patronage and Influence. It would pay them, even In a financial sense. "Once a week working girls should culator of small talk, but it whs talk have 11 chance to get together informnlly that mended heart fractures nnd helped toward good feeling. She repeated whnt cho heard when she thought It would do good. She was Interested In other's af fairs and liked to give them a friendly push. That woman was a saint.

As I have said, they should have u chance to pour tea to learn to gossip In the right way." "What If wealthy women would open their homes?" I ventured. "I don't believe that would serve. Girls who work have 11 nronerlv Indo- jier.dent spirit They don't want to be patronized, an(l. entering these fine homes, they might feel that they werr being patronized hy he mistress.

Thoy can make It as personal as they like. Personality Is the flavor of conversation. I'm afraid I haven't quite converted you to gossip." 'I beg your pardon for suggesting It, but Isn't the southern woman a little more chatty than the women of other sections?" I queried. "She ban that reputation. She does, I think, strike a little more Intimate note of conversation. Ilut we like that. We be lieve In It. Wo think It helpful, not harmful. And by their deeds, rather than their talk, you know them. There li no more gracious nor charming woman ! anywhere In the world than a typical southern woman. Proof of this lies In the fact that there Is no servant problem there. The .southern women's lives over flow with beautiful deeds." With which, of course, I heartily agreed, as will you, If you know them.

A lady had Juat approached the at tendant at the music department. "What new records have you?" she asked. The attendant looked her over as he handed her the latest list. What she saw was a somewhat stout and volatile person of the late thirties, who glanced at the freshest offerings with an expression that might be regarded as a combination of disdain and Indifference. "I really don't see anything here I care for," she airily explained. "Wo got moat all th records now. My, there s such a stack of them!
