That history repeats itself we an know; and, to my way of thinking, one of history'" most beautiful repetitions la the revival of classical barefoot dancing. The ancient Greeks knew the value of beauty In the upbringing of children. The boys and girls of that far-distant period sported and played and sang and danced In the maglo beauty of Lesbian hills and Theban streams and valleys. Nature, aided and abetted by muslo and rhythm, gave the ancient Greeks strong, straight limbed, beautiful bodies, which their great sculptor rendered forever Immortal In gleaming marble.

Take the, mar. rlago problem, for instance'. ' Here'to- ', fore that has , simply been Hob son's cholco with f a girl, and the only trouble she had was-In deciding suitors she would take. Now, however It Isn't so much a question of the rival attractions of two men as It Js of the manand "hla Job, and when you t see a pretty maiden plucking at the petals j P a-daisy she s not saying with the t petlcat''herolne,."heildves me, he loves md not," but ishe ' Is asking' the fates . whether she shall give up a good situa tion for a problematical husband. LaUgh not at her. Hers Is a very real dilemma that a man Is spared. Marriage does not cut him off from the work he loves, the profession he hits fitted himself for, the succes he Is beginning to attain, i the money he- Is earnings He Just adds a ' wife and the comforts of a homo to all the othor good' things" he has. A wife. Is ..Jniwth. him. But a husband Is minus everything ex- rcept- affection tc-thq business -and' prof iff slonal woman. When she marries It's, p. cose of all for love, and the balance of the things sho cares for lost. She-has do live up hor business or profession, or else carry it on In the half-hearted style that means failure. She haB to sacrtflco her Independence, her ambition, her Joy In the work that she has prepared her lelf for, and that was the breath of her ifo to do. More than that, she has to glvo up the line of work that she prefers, and do the sorb of work- that she probably doesn't 'Ike, -for. which, $10. has no natural aptl aide, and in which she Is totally unskilled. Of course It's tne'eustom to ignore these plain and simple, facta, and to rhapso. Use over the Joy of having your qwn lit tle home. But the expert and highly paid ttenographer or teacher, who exchanges i nice desk in office or school room, and a fat pay envelope for the drudgery of a" kitchen, and the soul harrowing experj jnco of trying to get along on less than half of the money she has been accus v tomed to live op, may be pardoned If she casts a few regretful glances at her past estate. .Nor Is It- to be wondered at that the Your Stomach Bail?

She visits around among thq young married women who were her at' soclates in store or office, and she knows that this one is shabby; that that one's hands are sodden with the water of the wash tub, and scarred with burns from the gas range,' that another has to wheedle every cent she has out of her tightwad husband, and still, another has grown nervous and peevish,, and is a fret tul mother of fretful babies. And it doesn't seem to little Miss Bookkoeper or little Miss Cashier that there Is any particular allurement in the fate of these ladles to make anyone elso yearn to fol low in their footsteps. Also there is the other side of the picture. Every norma) woman wants a husband, and home, and children of her own, and the only way she can secure them is by marrying, and malt lng the sacrifices that marriage de mands. That Is the price she has to pay, and -It Is for her to decide whether she Is willing to give it . Of .course, in time, this problem wll settle Itttelf. In the process of evo lutlon the.ro will be developed a new man to be the fitting mate of the n woman, and he will look on all these domestic questions with wiser eyes than the man of the present day. He will see that at Ja Just' as unfair to ask a woman to give up the work she has prepared herself to do, and to become financially dependent on him, as It would for her to demand that he should change his profession because ho married her, and become .dependent on her,. , Why should the man, for Instance, wfao marries are. actress, insist noon h erf leav ing tne stager or why should the man who marries a business woman expect her to become -a housekeeper of tho. first order; and" be tho poorest cook that ever roaaa a pan or aoamanuno oiscuitar , Tho riclr man who can supply the financial equivalent of his wife's earn inga has some sort of Justification in requiring fier 'to dectdo between & mar riage ring- and JierjJob, but certainly the poor man has none." As long as his wife must Work" iff help him it Is no more than right that ahe should be permitted , to. do the work that is cosiest and. most agreeable to her. But men don't look at the subject this way. The averajio man's vanity requires the sacrifice of his wife's pub lic career. He wants her to Work for him as hard as she can, but he wants it done behind cloeed doors where no body can see it, so that he will have an opportunity to pose around and talk about "supporting her," Therefore, tho working girl. who mar ries does not have to choose between her Job and her husband: One of these, a young woman who has built up by herself u profitable business that win "make hey independently 'rich In a few year, asks, me if. she should give it up to get married. It is p. question she must -answer for herself, Some men are worth more than all the money In the world,' but your own pocketbook Is more comfort, more slay, and a better prop than the great majority of husbands.

How to Acquire a Beautiful Figure Through Dancing By Lady Constance Stewart Richardson, the Famous English Beauty and Classical Dancer "All dancing has great value. Classical dancing, however, docs most to brliid about the perfect harmony of a beauti ful, pure soul In a beautiful, clean body. "A child trained to classical dancing In the right way will, I feel sure, by the time It reaches full growth, dance as wo wore all meant to dance; every muscle In control, and the mind envolopcd In the glory of expressing beauty by perfect ihythmlcat movements. "If the child Is taught to love beauty, It the simple loveliness and grace of tho statuary of the ancients nro pointed out to It, If the human body Is represented as a temple, a shrlno that must be kept clean and puro ana must be decorated must be good, the arms and body grace ful and trained, the legs and feet under Perfect control, and the muscles In the prime of healthy, firm condition. Add to this tho splendid JoyoiisnesH of young life, thrilling nnd pulsing with rhythm and you havo real classical dancing. Itythm Is perfectly natural to the child Until we spoil him by self-conscious teach ings. Tho primitive expression of poetry came through rhythm, a swaying In time to music, and a bubbling up of song to accompany tho primitive rhythm from "In tho three drawings Figure 1 shows 78,000, 100.000 poople, you (no classical ureeit iypo This move- The Corn Law By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY Blxty-four years ago tho plain people of Great Britain scored one of the greatest economlo triumphs of tho ages the pan sago through Partlament of the act known as tho 'Com Law." The campaign . loading up to this "famous victory" was one of the most wonderful In the history of the platform. Such meetings w e r o never seen before and have never been seen since- worked up to the hlahest nltch of interest, an Interest that camo homo to men's business and bo soms In a most direct, practical and pa thetlo fashion. Such subscriptions! much as 160,000 being raised at a single meeting. Tho great fund of 1848, aggre gating IffiCOOO (11&00,CC0), was raised into lightning. Many of tho chairmen and speaKera were what they called "common laborers," but they possessed uncomon Ideas and uncommon ability In expressing tnoso ideas, and they shook old England up an sho had never beon before. Th Corn Law league, organised In March, 1SJ9, entered Into the work with the purity of Intent and fory ardor of the old Crusaders, and never was a great and noble propaganda' blessed with a more porfect victory. Tho "Interests" fought tho league tooth and nail, with fair means and foul, and the league fought baok. At last tho great day came Juno SO, 1819 when tho lords read the bill for tho third time and passed It passed It because of the Irresistible pressure that was brought to bear upon them by tho plain people. By the provisions of the bill all grain was admitted Into tho coun try practically free, and the poor raon'a bread was no longor (n Jeopardy. Tho mighty spirit of the league was. of Course, Itlchard Cobden, the "Interna tional .man," without whose genius, tiro and perscrvernnce the Corn Law bll would never have won out. For seven years, from the foundation of the league to the accomplishment of its purpose, he worked Incessantly, .now guiding the councils, now addressing the meetings. and everywhere storming men's hearts by his profound earnestness, and winning their reason by his cool, unanswerable logic As men' ideals get to bo more elevated Cobden will btcomo more and more of a "saint" In the great Pantheon of Humanity.

"Of course, once a fjgure has been mis trained into awkward and ugly shape, It takes years of patience and of work to restore Its natural 'beadty. But patient effort will do the work, of restoring beauty. However, I firmly advocate be ginning wjth children in their formative years, and teaehing them to grow and to grow In ways of beauty, "Dancing affords one of the simplest possible methods of training face, mind and figure into ways of beauty and de light. Now to become a toe or ballet dancer means years of arduous work. It means the exacting requirements of a profession, and demands as toll tho best years of a. life. "To teach the child classical dancing means merely this make all Its educa tion tend toward observation and love for the beautiful In line and In color; encourage it to copy artistic , poses and to so love musto that all musto shall appeal to a sense of rhytntn and finally express the very poetry of motion to that child. "Classical dancing mueti express feeling, emotion, mood and the child, who Is trained to be a classical dancer must feel beauty in order to give expression to it, Lovely, simple poses- will bcromo a natural part of Its life, and the muscles will fairly refuse to endure the strain of falling Into ugly, sagging poses.
