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

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

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.
The dance of Fulonio for tho head of
John tho Ilaptlsf has attracted artlstsT
playwrights and dancers becauso of Its
dramatic possibilities nnd the sinister
tragedy Idea of tho strange beauty, the
sensuous fascination of thtat dance, nut
If the man who made tho cloaest study
of . 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. She
danced on her hands, and It was her
skill In the performance of thnt trick
which pleased the king

: "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

, work? It Is because her brain Is too
weary to attack science or history or
philosophy. We can't digest heavy food

"What Is 'good goaslp?" "
'Gossip is light talk without malice.
' 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

Nancy has adopted. Nanoy shouldn't be

well poised she would find a Joko In th I

'"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

"What If wealthy women would open

"I don't believe that would serve.

'I beg your pardon for suggesting It,

sections?" I queried.
"She ban that reputation. She does, I
think, strike a little more Intimate note of

harmful. And by their deeds, rather

With which, of course, I heartily
agreed, as will you, If you know them.

"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
