fehe makes good that vow. Almost
penniless, after her heroic but futile
fight to save the life of the Gotham
police czar, they point out that as
soon as she can earn funds with
which to carry hertase. to the public
'in a convincing manner she will do so.
In school the children love Mrs.

lier young pupils she can find means
to help her forget the sorrow that a
!ruthless fate has thrust into her life.
CHOICE
The farm boy wants a change of
Jife, he seeks the city's noise and
sights. He deems his lot to full of
strife, too long the days, too short
the nights. He wants to be a city
guy, with less of work and mpre of
play, and watch the swell dressed
throngs go by and blow a wad of
dough each day.
The city lad looks country-wise;
he's tired of the jostling crowd, the
din and blareand smoky skies and
hunting for a job about He wants
to be where horses browse and but
terflies and tadpoles swim, where
there are lots of pigs and cows and
each one is a friend to him.
Yet, by and by, each feels the loss

to where the childhood pathways
cross along the old familiar track.
It's hard for man- to change the ways

make life's luring dreams come true,
and I'd rather be a "greased pig"
than a prize monkey in a zoo. Bill

Mrs. Jones had a singular boy,
So singular was this young Jone
That he never made more than one

And he played his duets all alone.

weasel,
He would study but one mathematic,
And when sick he had only one

In the accompanying picture this
famous beauty shows the right and
wrong way to stand.
In the pose on the left the incorrect
way to stand is shown. The figure
has sagged with the weight of the
body on the heels. As the chest
sinks in the abdomen is forced out
tuto ungainly prominence. The lungs
io not get sufficient air and as a re
sult health and then facial beauty
suffers.
Note the erectness and beauty of
the figure in the post shown to the
right -this Is the right way to stand,
the body perfectly poised. With the
weight of the body resting on the
balls of the feet, unconsciously the
chest is expanded and the head as
sumes an erect graceful position.
