THE most difficult part of the fifth
movement lies in the fact that
there are a great many steps for !
the eight counts. And, furthermore, the I
steps have bo apparent connection
that is, fie doesn't follow easily from
the other, as was evident in the more
simple measures.
The fifth movement may. be said to
be divided into two distinct parts the
nev dip, which is really difficult and
the pirouette, which requires individual
movement en the part of each dancer.
As to position, the turkey trot pose is
resumed, and the movement starts with
the maa sad girl simultaneously point
ing forward with the left foot, and then
across the right with the left. -This is
done twice, the dip coming when the left

The letters are exchanged between
Laura Crawley, who started out to
make a career for herself in New- York
in gram opera, out nas xinaiiy arinea
into musical comedy... and her mother,-)
-who is running a small hotel in the
little town of Holbrooke, Va., close to
a fahsionable summer hotel known as
the Homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Hurley
are & New York couple who had taken
Laura under their wing-, but who, it
now appears, have become estranged.
Mrs. Hurley proceeding to the west to
obtain a divorce. Jim Burke is a
former suitor of Laura who has de
cided to marry another girl who has
always remained faithful to him
Molly Siddons. Although he feels that
there is no use waiting for Laura, and
intends to marry Molly, he asserts that
if. Laura should send for him at any
time he would go to her, wife of no
wife. Laura intimates, mischievously,
that she may send for him. Mrs. Craw
ley's trials with her husband and her
son Phil also figured in preceding let
ters. After a modern New York court
ship Laura finally announces to her
mother that she intends to marry Mr.
Hurley as soon as nfs wife receives the
divorce she is seeking.

something a mother rarely tells h.

Five years after I married your
father I knew that my happiness -with
him was nothing but an idle dream.
As you know, he drank. I thought
that he could check his growing appe
tite, but I guess he did not try very
hard. When I realized the mistake I
had made I felt very hopeless. So
long as I denied the truth to myself.
I felt hopeful. It is sometimes better
to deny the truth to yourself, my
Laura, especially when it is not good
for you to know it. That is what I
tried to do. But the day came when
I had to admit it. I knew that my
marriage was a failure: that all the
romance had gone out of it and that

The other four counts constitute the
pirouette. The dip should be done rap
idiy'so as to get back quickly into the
turkey trot position, and immediately
on the fifth count the man and girl turn
completely around back to back in a
pirouette At the completion of the
"turn the regular turkey trot position is
again assumed for the beginning-of the
sixth movement.
A Difficult One.
The dip in this movement is a diffi
cult one, because it comes on a side
movement instead of the more ordinary
dip backward like the California dip of
the third movement. It will be diffi
cult, too, to dip in this fashion and pre-

From that time on, it seemed, every
thing he did irritated me the wav hi

vain attempts to keeD awav from

that her husband la still hnr Imror hut
I didn't. When he even suggested af
fection for me it was nauseating.
In thiB state of affairs I met Mr.
Trask, a fine, upstanding man, who
was carving a career from the world
I guess he really pitied me at first and
then loved me. He asked me to divorce
your father and then marry him. I
dreaded all that, the notoriety, the sense
of failure, and my impulse was just to
take you and Phil Phil was just a
baby then and run away with Mr
Trask. But I knew that I would not
find happiness that way; that the fu
ture of my children would be clouded
and that my duty was to stay with,
your father. So Mr. Trask rwent away.
More than a score of years have
passed since then and I met Mr. Trask
recently, still unmarried. I knew what
I had lost, but was glad.
I don't tell you this to make myself
heroic, but to show you that the hard

it enables us to conquer ourselves and
to win a sense of reserved power.

divorced, perhaps sooner. As Mrs. Hur
ley claims her mother's home as her
own, she does not have to establish a
residence, and as her suit is uncon

been very liberal about money settle

that score.

Mother Gives Up.
Holbrooke, Va Nov. 5.
LAURA DEAR:
There is nothing more to be
, said. Nothing that I could say
would change you in your determina
tion to'"marry ll?. Hurley. You have
always been wilful I don't say this a
criticism and New York, with Its gay
life, its luxuries and its general ten
dency to weaken the will of the
strongest, has swept you from your
old moorings of sound church teach
ings. You are walkinc hv the side of
an abyss and you will have to pro
ceed -carefully and cautiously less you
topple over.
Have you made absolutely sure that
there is no chance for a reconciliation
between Mr. and Mrs. Hurley? The
great duty' that confronts all of us
is not to go out andreform the world,
but to do what we can for those near
est us. There are so many women to
day who neglect their own homes and
their own husbands and children in
order to save the world from its fol
ly. When so many women try to do
everybody's work, their own remains
undone.
Your duty Is to make absolutely
sure that there is no chance for
reconciliation between Mr. and Mrs.
Hurley. You do not want to wait un
til it is too late. I caji't dissuade you
from mawying him, dear, but oh, can't
I persuade you to go slow and not to
deceive yourself or let him deceive
himself? Please, dear, do this for
your mother.
Phil has lost his position at the
hotel. He says it was not the right
kind of work, clerking In a fashion
able hotel. "You know, mother," he
said to me, "that .you yourself said
It was a frivolous feort of occupation
and that there was no future In it"
"Yes," I answered, wearily, "but you
said that there was a future in it;
that some day you might own a
hotel of your own, and that it was
the one thing at which you thought
you could make a success."
But." said Phil, "you told me my

I had said that, but, oh, what's the
use? Phil will never understand that
there is a virtue in persistence. He
gives nothing a fair trial. Everything
that he tries Is fine at first, but then
proves to bo terrible. I told him that
if he would do any kind of work, and
stick to it, he would make a success

was demoralizing his character. He

M
OTHER DEAR:
You poor dear mater! That
Is the first time I ever read a
note of real weariness in one of your
letters. You should rest. You should
not try to struggle with such a queer
world. Worries' don't right any
wrong or change the course of events.
I have spoken to Mr. Hurley about
Phil and he says he will give him a
position In one of- his banks; make
him start at the bottom and -work up
wards. He promises to discharge him
instantly if he falls to make good. I
insisted on that. What do you think
of this? Would It- -oe too lonesome
for you without Phil? He has always
wanted to come to New York and this
is his chance. If you think It best for
him. Of course. I won't say a word
abouh it to Phil. It will be for you
to decide, mother dear.
- It will . worry me to have you re
main In Holbrooke alone, except for
father, who is not much consolation
to you. But J. want to. help some
how and I thought this might be the
way. I have a folding tied In my lit
tle parlor and I would be' glad to give
Phil the bedroom and sleep in the
parlor erery night. But I dread your
being alone at Holbrooke, although
the hotel is probably crowded and 1
suppose the neighbors continue to
drop In every five minutes to tell you.
their troubles.
When I am married, mother, dear,
I want you to give up that old hotel
and come here to New York and live
with me. Oh, I know what you will
say; that married couples had better
live alone; that a motherlnlaw or a
fatherlnlaw Introduces a dangerous
element Into the family. But this
won't be so In our case, mother dear,
r have read your recent letters to
Mr. Hurley. Now don't scold. He Is
too big and fine not to understand
your -warnings against him. He is
quite insistent that you should live
with us.
I hate to say this, and you will
think me very terrible. I know, but for
the first time in my life, I under
stand what you have gone through
