"Wear I tried to write you such a letter
.As would tell you und nil my heart
today:
Written love is poor, one word were
. better,
Hauler, too, a thousand times to say."
Adelnldo Anne Proster.
'Urn In receipt or a letter from a young
mail who complains because the girl he
loves, and who has confessed her love for
him, addresses him In her letters as "My
dear John." Ho thinks sho should at
least call him "Sweetheart."
And undoubtedly she docs In her heart,
and In his car. many, many times, .und
her refusal to put this word In black
atnl white doesn't Indicate a cold heart,
but. a remarkably cool head.
"Ni one expects the love he gives, nor
tljat Which he TCcrlVe's.' lo'evcr t'urri cold,.
That Is the charm of loving the firm,
immovable belief that at laEt two hearts
have met that neither time nor eternity
ma.y' estrange."

Take Off the Fat
Where St Shows
The Ancient Greeks Gave First Cabaret Show
Story by Margaret Hubbard Aycr. Sketches by Michelson,
.The Earliest Greek Dances Were Like. Our "Ring Around a Rosy," Girls and Boys Dancing Together iii a Big Circle to the Music of Their Own Songs
Hy MAUOAKHT IIUimAKI).
Tho Greeks' were the first to Invent the
now celebrated cabaret shows.
No, they did not turkey trot, for they
probably knew that they had a reputation
for art and culture to hand down to
future generations.
Hut every Greek of fashion or Im
portance guve dinner parties which were
even more costly than those wo read
about today, and the main part of the
entertainment was the cabaret, the, sing
ing and dancing by paid entertainers
wlilcli went on during tlie meal.
The Greeks ' paid an Immense amount
of attention to dancing, us they consid
ered It one of the finest methods of
physical training and all the great educa
tors and statesmen of tho golden age ad
vocated dancing for the young people of
both sexts.
Plato demanded In his "republic" that
every child should be trained systematic
ally to the highest physical development
of which It was capable, and he con
sidered dancing tho best possible method
of attaining this degree of perfection
which was the Ideal of every Greek youth
or mHld.
i Children were trained from the fifth
b'ear and danced at all great festivals In
public.
The earliest Greek dances were like our
"ring around a rosy," girls and boys
dancing together In a big circle to the
music of their own songs. Thcso dances
are often mentioned by Homer.
Later, when tho dance became Dirt of
the pducatlon of all Greek youths, tho
accompaniment was played on the flute
and dancing Included a knowledge of
music, poetry and all arts. Greek danc
ing, while it looks easy, was not tho
simple happy-go-lucky thing It pcemed. A
professional dancer was trained many
years before he or she appeared In pub
lic. They had to know their own art
thoroughly, and the poetry of motion was
tho embodiment of all that was beauti
ful, a thorough musical training was
necessary and the best dancers has to be .
well iii In all tho great poetry of tho I
time, as well as the very lull lento sym
bolism of tho religious ceremonial.
There, was no occasion when dancing
was not an expression of the Greek per
sonality, anil great dancers enjoyed un
believable popularity.
The Flower Festival of Argos was one
of the most beautiful of the springtlmc
dances symbolizing the- uwakenlng of na
ture. It was danced by the arlntocratlc
youths, who tried to outdo each other
In beauty of movement, grace of bud
and posp.
One of the differences between our
dancing and the anthiur lies In the
straight foot of the classic Greek dancer
ond the painted too of tho later French
and Itnllun schoolB, which Becms to hav
come by wuy of tho far east.
The Greeks, who wore tho thinnest of
Handals, or nono nt nil, placed "ho foot
In Its natural position, straight on the
ground. The American Indian still don
this, and so do nil nborlglnul rates, ine
pointed toe, or foot thut points ut from
tho body, was orlglnully un affectation
of dancing teachers. It was -inKnown
to the Greek dancer, whose phyuKal pole
had to conform to the laws of nature
embodied In the highest forms of sculp
ture, which are still the Ideals oi artists
and have never been surpassed.

"It Is 'the:' reign of the tliln woman,"

"Modern woman has not only decreased

"The thin woman Is tho product of the

"I think they Hre beautiful." Mr. Kin

"Most women want to be thin because
they think It Is more , youthful,'" Mr.
Kinney wont on. "Now to a certain ex

a girl and the figure of a woman.
"Nono of tho great artreso or sing

very thin. And there Is a good reason
fnr that.
"Tho thin silhouette does not express

woman wants, and that any grout per

"Did you find tho Hpanlsh women

"No, Indeed' 'they agreed almost In

"I think 'the.mqst beautiful .women In

"Mut tell me, will you, why Is It that

"Why should u grown woman have a
