At all times, move easily and smoothly. The lady rests her left hand lightly at the back of the man's shoulder. Her right hand is extended to the side. The arm Is not held stiffly, but is bent to form a graceful curve. The man holds his arms fairly high. Hold your partner firmly, especially with the right arm and hand. Let the lady feel the pressure of your hand at her back under the shoulder blade, above the waist line.) The lady has more confidence in you if you hold her firmly. The left arm is bent at the elbow. In the beginning, dance on the toes and balls of the feet. Do not let the heels touch the floor. No Fancy Holds Do not curl your arm under that of your partner. Fancy holds are out of date. To look well while dancing, make yourself tall: hold your head up high, chin in, chest out. Dance as though your body were floating through the air. Keep your heels off the floor as much as possible. Keep your legs close together; do not spread them apart. Hold your partner directly in front of you, and not to one side. When you walk forward, step directly toward your partner as though you were trying to step on your partner’s feet. Do not try to avoid your partner’s feet when going forward. To Avoid Stiffness So-called stiffness is of two kinds. People are often referred to as “stiff” because their muscles are tense. Have you ever driven an automobile? If so, you remember that when you first learned to shift gears you would stiffen up. your muscles would become taut, and you could almost feel yourself In a nervous tension. It is the same with dancers when they first start out to dance. Because th© beginner is not yet sure of himself, his muscles stiffen up. By practice, this stiffness will pass away and when the dancer knows the steps, ease and grace will come. The second kind of stiffness is the result of Inexperience. The person who does not know the steps and has not trained the muscles of his feet to dance with ease cannot be Clubs, as Prof. Ebenezer Scatterbrain.

anything but "stiff.” The muscles of a person’s body are stiff until they are loosened up by the proper training. The ballet dancer, even the one who dances as light as a fairy, is stiff when she attempts ballroom dancing if she is not thoroughly familiar with the newest ballroom steps. Each step brings into play different muscles. To become rid of stiffness, one has but to learn to dance the steps and when proficient, ease will take the place of rigidness. Ballroom Conduct Is discussed by Mr. Murray in his next article.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

— Martha Lee SaysLove Harder to Cast Aside Than Old Hats

It is easy to find a seemingly sound argument for anything we especially want to do. If we would buy an eexpensive hat htat we cannot afford, how simple it is to argue that it will last just twice as long as a cheap hat—knowing all the time that we never could wear a hat that long, anyway. If we tire of our husband, or perchance wife, for the time being—as almost every husband and wife tire of each other some time —then we can say to ourselves, when we think we have found “true love”: “Surely it never was meant that we should live in uunappiness just because we made an early mistake.”

And so we can go to the divorce courts and try to correct our "mistake” and then marry the love we think was chosen for us by Fate. We can live happily ever after, we fissure ourselves. But do we? Or do we find that this was a mistake, too? Do we discover, mayhap, that the first love was the true love after all, or that the second lost its glamor as soon as the marriage knot was tied? And what of our children? Can we forget that we have taken them away from theor own father or mother? Can we forget that happiness might have been waiting 'round the corner near our old homes, had we only tided to find it? If we are normal, we can not. Oh, It is easy to find reasons for doing the things we want to do. But we can not make ourselves happy by repeating the reasons we ought to be happy. Lopsided Argument Dear Martha Lee: In your advice to people who have been married before they found their “true love.’’ you say “Try to make your home happy ar.d "tay with your mat:*." But I say: “If you have found your true love too late, do what you can to develop It." . , . . If you were to put your hat on backward and discover your mistake too late that Is. after many people had seen it, I guppose you would say: "Ilt-Just make the beet of It and not care how I look." Whatever you say about your hat pertains also to your love I say: "Experience is the best teacher.” What is your opinion please? TRUE 1-OVE Pardon my contradicting you, but whatever I might say about my hat would not apply to love. For if I mad© a mistake in putting on my hat, I could correct it without even annoyance to any one else. But If I made a mistake about love. I could not correct it without affecting the lives of other people. Would I have the right to make others suffer for my mistake?' I think not. Some times divorce is justified; St would be ridiculous to deny that. But frequently the “true love” a man or woman thinks he has found after marriage is no more true than the original love. And when children are Involved, I think even you will agree that they should be given first consideration, and that it Is better to endure some unhappy moments than to take the possible responsibility of wrecking their live*. They Know Her Dear Miss Lee: I am 18 years old. oortsldeifd food took inf and when In a crowd where my I>**st firl friend is not there, always popular However. Just lately I haven't had many chances for dates because I haven t been anywhere except places where the fellows all know me. It seems that I am belnf punished for the way I used to treat them. When I was 18 ard 17 I never liked fellows. I seemed to have the wrong view of men I thought they were a!! Just alike. I had many nice fellows ask me time after time for dates, and I kept refuslnf I did ro out with one occasionally, but not very much because my girl friend would always run them down and I would stow to dls like them Tills really was the main reason for my not flvln* them dates, for she never has a food word for any of them, althoufh she will always Jump at the hcanoo to- have a date Now. I see that she has very few boy friends and I have lost a ureat many by listening to her. I am w-llllnf to go with them now regardless of what she thinks. There ts a certain younff man who has asked me for dates almost a hundred times Now I would like to go with him. How could I let him know it? Ido not sec him very much now. but when I do. I am too pround to tell him that I have changed my mind, alhtoufli I air. sure that be would atill like to go with me. FI£KI.E. When men once get an idea that a girl is “uppish," it is hard for her to change th?ir minds. About the only thing for you to do is to be sin cerely friendly that they may see that you have changed. It would not be improper for you to invite this one young man to call on you. If he takes advantage of the Invitation—leave it to him to set a definite time—you will know that he does still desire your company. MABEL; Send me a stamped selfaddressed envelope, repeating your question, for a personal reply. As Contrary as Mary Dear MUs Lee: I am a girl 17 years old. 1 met a fellow about four months 050 He is 21 years old. He kept Insisting that X give him a date I really detested him at first, but later found I liked him very much, so I gave him a (late He stung me, then came and told me he did not. He asked for another date, but I did not make one. He speaks whenever I meet him.

but he does not keep hia word. Is there any way we could become closer friends? He never asks for a date any more. Why doesn't he? How can I keep him from knowing I care for him? I think that is the trouble now. BLUE. Why on earth you want to be closer friends with a young man who doesn’t keep his word is beyond my comprehension. My advice is to keep your friendship on a most distant basis. i^/ynealth hfjjr. C.C.Robinscm. CORRECT POSTURE C r ~~1 ORRECT posture. In sitting, rising, standing, walking, stoopt__ ing or lying, is of great impor tance to health. When your spine is bent and the body is "slumped” or in a stooping position, both the chest and the abdominal cavity are narrowed and restricted. The action of the vital organs, in these two cavities. Is interfered with. If kept up more or less all day, the loss in blood circulation will result in harm that can hardly be measured. In climbing stairs hold the trunk erect. Use your feet and legs to lift you upstairs and not have your body bending over and swaying from side to side. The same thing is true about posture in sitting or during sleep. An erect back posture, during study or office work, will conserve your nerve force to a marked extent. Sleep with your trunk straight and legs extended. A bent trunk or spine during six or seven hours of sleep will cause a decided loss In nerve force and interfere wltlfi proper c.lrcu latlon. It will cause uneasy and restless sleep and the walking hours may mean a severe headache or loss of appetite for a nourishing breakfast. One of the most common forms of lack of proper posture Is the bent or drooping shoulders, both In youth and adults. In children, this may be aided by having the weight of the clothing properly adjusted. In adults, as a result of bad posture, the lower back muscles become strained. The effort to relieve this strain on the sacroiliac Joints, causes bent back and drooping shoulders. The strain on these same Joints, through improper posture, causes backr-cne in many cases. The strain is not alone common to the ?>ack, but Is also felt in the legs. Many oases of so-called sciatica and rheumatism may be traced to improper posture.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESOOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED I wonder if back in your time, little Marquise, there were women who went out of their way' to plant suspicion in your mind or a hurt in heart and I wonder if they looked like Mrs. Smithson. She is tall and thin, as if the milk of human kindness had absolutely dried up in her veins. Her mouth is almost a cruel slit and her chin comes out and is always a little red and pointed. Her eyes are narrow and about them are little crows’ feet, not the crows’ feet that you see around the eyes of a jolly, laughing woman, but the long, narrow ones that reach back to the temple and are accompanied habitually by two perpendicular lines over the nose. It always seems to me when I see Mrs, Smithson that it hurts her to smile, and yet only to you would I draw such an unflattering picture, because in her way she has always been nice to me. Since I have been ill she has sent me over some delicate custard and one day she made a freezer of egg nog ice cream simply so that I could have some of it. Jack, who dislikes her very much, insists that isn't kindness, but a species of patronage, a kind of sop to her own vanity. I wonder which of us Is right. When she came forward to shake my hand, she had a kind of peculiar look upon her face that I had never seen there before. An expression which partook of triumph and sorrow, pity and virtuous condemnation. (Now you know, little Marquise, if I would make any such fanciful description as that to any one but you. he would say T had suddenly gone crazy.) But I still contend that Is just the way she looked and that look was born out of thoughts she did not voice, but which she implied. “That picture. ’Trumping His Heart.’ I told you about last week. Mrs. Prescott, has been the most popular one that has been shown here for many a day." This was her first exclamation. “It is going to he here for still another week and I do hope you are going to be able to see it. I have been four times, and I saw your husband there all alone the other evening. Did he say anything to you about it?” “Not a word, but my friend, Ruth Ellington, who has just arrived from New York, WTote me while she was there that she had seen the picture and It was extremely interesting.” “Did she tell you anything about It?” "No, she said it was too long a story to write when she was so busy and that she would tell me about It when she got home.” “One reason I think tha picture has caught on to such an extent here is because the Perier girl, who plays the

principal part and who is said to have helped tile authoress in the writing of the play, used to live here. Every man in town I think knew her. She was a model, you know, and called very beautiful. I never could see very much in her, but my husband seemed to think she was about the prettiest girl he ever saw. I must say she shows up well in pictures. “By the way, I think your husband knew her. Have you ever asked him about her?” “My husband told me once, Mrs. Smithson, that the young lady had been a model for him in some of his advertising illustrations, but I was not curious at all. I expect if you saw him there alone it was because he had gone to see if she had changed. I know he would be very glad to find that she was making a success in her new profession.” “Very likely.” Because those words are written on paper, little Marquise you will never know how nasty they sounded from that odious woman’s lips.
