Miss Danilova danced with him, and !delved onhis feet—not only once, bat twice. Dancing with Royalty makes one nervous, she said, because "verybody is looking at you." "I begged hie pardon, and he said It was his fault, that he was not good enough to dance with the best lancer in the world," said the baller- ina, removing make-up from her eye leashes. "The Prince is a wonderful dancer. pie has marvellous rhythm. I don't now anyone I'd rather dance with egain. " American dancers are acrobatic, but not much else, continued the dark-baired young Russian woman, who studied the ballet in. Petrograd's famous "Theatre Street." "They are not classic,' she said. "They know one or two tricks, and they clo those for five years. They learn these few things perfectly and aanee beautifully, but there is noth- ing more." English Appreciative. American audiences, she protested, are cold, but she classes the sup- posedly unresponsive English as i`'Most appreciative audiences." She bIso thiugs the. English do the best allroom dancing of any nation. Life as a ballerina, Miss Danilova explained, must be virtually all work land no play. 1 "It is a very cruel life because we must train every day," she said, e'We have to be very careful and can't asave much fun. We can't drink at all. If I drink champagne, I don't have the same elastic feet. "We smoke, but not very much. .And we can't stay out late, because leve must get up the next day and do 'exercises and rehearse." I A ballet dancer of today, Miss Dan - nova said, does as a matter of routine many things that "the great Pavlova" 'could not do. Maids Air Grievances Say Housewives Want Lot Cleveland, O.—When a group; of house maids, meeting under the ban- ner of the Household Workers' Wel- 'tare Association, met here, they had a fine time telling each other wl3at a great deal their 'mistresses want for 'very little money. That seemed to be the keynote of the meeting. 1 One Iady whose name is in theblue book borrows her maid's street_ car pass to go shopping. Another woman has the bed sheets changed every day and rinsed 11 times so that all the isoap is out. A Shaker Heights (Cleveland's aristocratis suburb) woman, whose husband makes $15,000 a year, bought only four pork chops one day—a pork 'chop for each member of the family. 'When the cook mentioned that she had none, her mistress said: "Why, Hilda, you must eat like an elephant." "Some houses are like jails,". Miss Collette Kelly, president of the asso- tion said succinctly. A code for domestic servants is Tending in. Washington and apparent- ly the Cleveland maids can hardly wait.

The question was put to members of the Parents" Association by Miss Addison Phillips, formerly of Clifton' High School, London, Eng. Miss Phillips offered the following advice to fathers in particular: Don't encourage your. children to make witty remarks, especially in the presence of other people, and about their elders; remember that children have a keen sense of fair- ness; don't disagree in the children's. presence; check any rudeness to their mothers; don't let them domin- ate the conversation until father has to take his meals away from home; don't fuss over them, like the mother selho took to a bath -chair, because her daughter lost her hockey colors. It was well to realize that a daugh- ter's self-respect should be consid- ered, as well as her opinions and pre- occupations. She was achieving the - difficult task of making a bridge be- tween childhood and womanhood, and under an exterior that was pos- sibly surly and ungracious there might be a keep love of truth, Sym- pathy was the golden rule—that, and a little judicious and friendly ap- proval. "Ma Tante" .That dishonesty in a pawnship could cause a cabinet crisis, drive one min- ister to resign, threaten a premier and provide several days of front-page news for the daily press is amusing to Anglo-Saxon minds, observes the Saint John Telegraph -Journal. But to the French their municipal pawnshops are essential public services, institutions used by all and operated in the in- terests of the people in, it was imag- ined, a manner beyond suspicion, We can hardly conceive how widely the pawnshop is used by all grades of French society, how entirely respect- able a loan from "ma tante" is con- sidered. With us the man who needs ready cash so badly that he is driven to pledge his watch or his dress suit goes furtively and with an air of doing something disreputable. But in France it is quite different. The pawnshops are imposing buildings where business is done with grave dignity. "Ma Tante" will make loans on any- thing from a motorcar to under- clothes. Values are appraised rapidly by experts, the standard percentage of that value that will be lent is known and all the conditions of the transac- tion ransacttion are regulated by authority. The pawnshop is in fact a public utility and mangy- s new purchase is financed by "nith " Men and women need not le evoke to seek her aid; a very t,..... ..try shortage of ready cash is stifficieiit justification and nobody excuses himself for applying to the obliging old lady.

Moor- man, 34, a native of the Ozark coun- try, has been acclaimed by the medical world for her major part in develop- ing palinaesthesia, a method of quick le reviving a person from an uticon- sc oti state caused by an overdose of an anaesthetic, drowning, suffocating or acute alcoholism. Miss Moorman conceived the idea of an intravenous stimulant to be used when respiration had ceased but hea,"t- beat was still present. "I knew that hydrochloric acid, when combined with carbonates, pro- duces carbon dioxide gas," she said, "and that animals' blood in a state of asphyxiation was prone to shift to the alkaline side. I decided that a minute quantity of hydrochloric acid injected into the veins might produce the desired result. The simplicity of it at first seemed almost silly. "I tried it first on a guinea pig that I had given too much ether. The effect was instantaneous. What I mean is that the pig became conscious right away.,, The method :ince has been used with success on a human being, ac- cording to a recent announcement by officials of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in which praise was accorded Miss Moor- man, born in Monett, Mo. She now is director of the ,poplin branch of the Duncan laboratories. Russian Girls May Not Love Foreigners London.—The Daily Express recent- ly printed a dis-patch from.

The magistrate issued an edict, the dispatch said, that girls in Soviet Rus- sia shall not be allowed to fall in love with representatives of capitalistic countries.

Zim- mern, wife of the Professor of Inter- national Relationships at Oxford Uni- vetsity, declared at a meeting of wo- men in. Saint John, N.B. She urged Canadian women to advocate such supervision. While commending Canada for the "stability" ishe said existed here, Mrs. Zimmern criticized both the Do- minion and the British Empire for "timidity" in failing' to take definite action in the field of disarmament. The Dominion's attitude at the Lea- gue of Nations tended to weaken British authority as a whole, she as- serted. Everywhere in Canada, said Mrs. Zimmern, she had found groups of people with a keen sense of respou- ,sibility and desire to prevent another war, Canada had the British quality 01 stability in contrast . to restless- ness in the United States. That this Dominion could be a leader in stopping the supply of war material was the belief expressed by Mrs. Zimmern. "You are a very spiritual nation," she said. "You may be tire first to put spiritual things above material," Women were apt to be impatient and call prematurely for abolition of armaments, she warned, adding that one step at a time was necessary. Careful revision of school text books was desirable. Mrs. Zimmern suggested formation of a Anglo -Canadian committee to act for the people in the interests of peace. The Wise Have Said Deeds are fruits, words are Ieaves. Disdain the bitter bread of depend- ence. He that desires but little has no need of much.
