Militants Injure the Suffrage Came

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. THAT the cause of suffrage has been materially injured by 'he actions of the militants in England seems evident tc almost every observer. Where ten people spoke with favor of Equal Franchise a year ago (even when not actively interested in the work) nine of that number today are too disgusted and disturbed with the vandalism and hysteria of the militants to maintain their interest. . And yet it is a curious fact that many people who dw. : II in the inner circles of English political life and who claim to know iV history of all progressive movements ihere declare there is no v. ay to gain a point where habit and tradition must be changed save by brutal ;:h A former ?.i en violent methods. ;er of Parliament said: "You must iirst knock your Eug- j lish lawmakers i.wn von mit k-ifk- : and beat them on the head, and then they will rise up and ask you w hat you want. But until ou do this lUoy will not even listen to you." That is the only wr.j , he declared, , that Ireland has ev r gained any point with England. Bnut the speaker was himself an Irifcbmun uad u violent agitator, i Speaker Actuated by the Views of His M.iitant Daughter. His daughter was un active militant. Fo one must not take his views too; literally. Hut many other people have expressed timiiar views regarding the abso-, lute Indifference of the English lawmaker to a.iy new progressive idea, and the necessity for drastic methods j if one wishes to be heard is quite! widely acknowledged. ; Several people claim that the mili-! t&nts are nearer Raining the goal they! wtii than ever before, but to the out-i tie!.; observer if wins far less honelu! than it was a year ago'. I Those Who declare any interest, in ' tlir; cause now hasten to.. explain, that : they are opposed to militant methods, ' fid everywhere there is- a murmur of riifapproval and rliVxontent over re-! cent occurrenccj;, and in all public places the suffragists meet with less ! consideration and more insults than ! previously. j It seems incredible that women of ; good birth and good brooding and with i good brains can perform such acts . as pouring paint into letter boxes, cut- j ting and tearing vehicles and breaking , windows and blowing up houses.

5il Crab Meat au Gratin. ff By Stella Barre ivJ

CRAB MEAT AU GRATIN is a thing most of us order in restaurants because we never have it at home. But I have been teaching my fellow members in the "All Aboard" company how to introduce "crab meat" into the home menu, and now I am ready to take the public into my confidence. Blend a lump of butter midway between a walnut and an egg in size with flour ,and stir to a cream. Then add one pint of cream and season with salt, pepper, patrika and a dr.sh of grated onion. To this add two hard-boiled eggs which have been thoroughly chopped, and the green peppers cut in shoestrings. Stir in one quart cf selected crab meat and one wineglassful of sherry. Heat this in u chafing-dish or nickled saucepan, and when it is bubbling add half a cup of grated cheese. Serve, taste and "Delicious" will be the verdict. I am sure.

of the dances that are so popular today, for, as we all know, dancing is coming into itf own, and one of the most beautiful and widely neg lected arts is now making a place for itself. By LADY CONSTANCE STEWART RICHARDSON. iw HEN I was a child of eleven I used to go out in the gardens of my English home and study the statues and statuettes that decorated it. For hours at a time I used to copy the nnspc of thneo lnvlv elnccienl statueJ. and l found the Kreatest entertainment and joy in trying to imi- ! tate the beautiful poses. This was the , beginning of my dancing, and from the taste I acquired for classical pose and , movement has come, I feel sure, what- ! ever measure of bodily grace is mine, j Dancing is essentially feeling, and (the expression of that feeling welling up in movement and rhythm. It makes for grace and for strong, healthy, bodj ies as no other form of exercise can, because no other form of exercise is j as universally possible, as entirely i w ithin the reach of all, as this natur1 al expression of the poetry we all ! have down in our natures. I Today 1 am giving you two exerJ cises that express the joy of living to ! a wonderful extent and give the body mueh to rejoice in, for they make for rpco. for lightness and for the univorsally desired bodily beauty, j TH E FIRST PICTURE, i The first fietire is a dainty and simpie pose, but it works beautifully into LOOKING By WINIFRED BLACK.

I'm a bit tired of it, and I should think the men would be tired "f it, too." "Well,' said the cleverest girl, "the song is well enough, only she doesn't sh g it right. That's the old-fashioned version. We don't use quite the same words nowadays. Ours runs more like this." The cleverest girl threw herself back in the swinging chair, assumed a quest'on-r.g, tnd it must be confessed, a rather naggish expression of countenance, and chanted satirically: "What are you going to do to make me love you?" "That's the right refrain just now. ! It's the only one I'm going to sing anyI how, and all the girls in my class," ' and she threw the very clever magazine with Miss Corelli's latest article ! on the "reacest thing in the world, ! raid how to get it" into the ferns and j wouldn't h?ar of picking it up again, i "When are these clover people who write things for the magazines going ; to wake up?" she said.

I "My poor mother would have had ' j an awful time if she hadn't married , fancy living with Uncle Dick alU i your life and being a maiden sister. ; ! But it is different with me. "If I meet just, the right man. I'll ! marry maybe but I'll think awhil" j before I do it. I'm going to get I rather a good salary in my line of ; ; work. I can do a lot of good in the j . world, and oh. what a lot of fun I'm ! going to have. I'll have to be awfully ' ; in love with a man to give all that j up just to be Mrs. Somebody. I love ' ! being myself it's so interesting. I'm ; afraid I should hate awfully just to ; j be somebody's wife without even my own name to g by.' And the prettiest giri joined right in with the cleverest girl and the things they said the average every day man would have to do to make them love him would have horrified Miss Corelli to the verge of madness if she had heard them. They would horrify me, too only I know it is just their heads talking now. Some day their hearts will begin to speak, and then we shall hear a different side of the story. But, all the same. I read Miss Corelli's article on the grandest thing in the wcrld and how to keep it, and I really did wish she hadn't gone back to the ancient days of superstition about men and the way to make a man stay in love with his wife.

It will stre ngthen weak ankles and insteps while it is developing power for grace in arms and legs. Here is my method It was all right for people who believe in the dark of the moon idea and who wouldn't sit thirteen at a table for anything, to say and to believe when they say it. that no man could love a womr.n unless she looked pYetty all the time, but in this day and time. Miss Corelli, really now, why don't you look around you? Who's the man the most outrageous, ly in love with his own wife that you knock? I5 she the prettiest women of your acquaintance? I don't believe it. She isn't of mine. A pretty woman is the thing for a short conquest, but for a long race sive me the average looking woman every day in the week. Why? Well, she's apt to be more interesting for one thing; and then, sisters, men are really not all such blithering idiots as some would have us believe really they are not. I know men who love their wives because their wives are good women and true friends and jolly comrades and good fellows and gentle sweethearts honestly I do and I've been acr,uainted with several men who stayed in love with their wives alter they had seen said wives with their hair twisted around a comb and a mouth full of hair pins such was the incredible folly of the creatures. Tut, tut. Miss Corelli; What an odd lot of men ycu must know, really! Are they all such absolute dunces as you try to make us think? I don't believe it. How on earth

! of practising it: Point the toes of the, right foot straight forward and balance the weight firmly on that foot. ! Now raise the left leg slowly from j the floor, keeping the foot almost at right angles to the other foot.

Vw.ti tm laft arm anA mv n r A Ynrfil. ing the greater amount of action, and when the weight falls in the alternate pose I always recommend the body sways to the raised right foot. j This exercise, like all other dancing : movements, must express lightness for dancing is dancing only when it comes as an expression of a happy spirit. It must conform to true ideals of grace and beauty, and thvis In this, as in so many dancing movements, the figure must be poised lightly on the ball of the foot. in time it will bring the body to grace and beauty, too. FIGURE TWO The second figure (2B) Is an exercise that must bring to the body the lightness of flying, and when once it is mastered you will find that you have true grace at your command. In this, as in so many dancing movements, the figure nust be poised lightly on the ball of the foot. Just such simple movements as poising the body lightly on the toes or ball of the foot will help avoid civilization's arch enemy, flatfoot, and will help In the acquisition of a light, springy walk. Poise the body lightly on the right foot, with a general inclination toward the right. Stretch the right arm up and out and drop the left arm from shoulder to just below the waist In one long curve. Even while the body is swaying in this position, lift the left leg from the hip and sway it backward from the knee, making one line from knee to toes and bringing the foot almost on a level with the knee. Now stand on the left foot and alternate from side to side. This exercise is by no means easy to master, but there is no movement of which I know that can be more absolutely counted on to bring the figure into the long, graceful, undulating lines we all so much admire. have they accomplished all they have in the world if they are such absolutely blind, unreasoning creatures as you say they are? "Look pretty every minute or you will lose him." Good gracious! Whatever will become of the world if all the married women in it agreed with you? What would happen to the babies? Who would run down stairs in a heavy dressing gown and make husband a mustard plaster when something he had eaten had gone wrong with him? And Uien there Is husband what would he think of us if we should turn around and say the same sort of thing to him? A woman did say it in Chicago the other day a very clever and wellknow woman she was. too. She declared she left her perfectly good young husband because she hated the way he looked with his collar off, shaving. And the world re-echoed with gusty laughter of the gods! I wonder why? Just as I was finishing Miss Corelli's article the prettiest girl was saying: "I wonder if it never strikes those people who are so busy telling us how to keep a husband, that nine out of ten of the divorce suits are brought by women and not by men at afl. To judge by statistics it is the men who need the advice on how to keep a wife." And I kept wondering what she'd say when she fell in love really and truly in love and whether she would not pity every one who was not in the same state, and whether she would not be right to pity them. And the cleverest girl why she
