He Lives in & Tub Valentin Lepage, of Charleroi, like Diogenes, lives in a tub. His- tory does not specify what kind of a tub the Greek cynic used but his French imitator houses himself in a bath tub. Lepage formerly was a glass worker.

He has rigged an old tarpaulin over uprights for shelter and pri- vacy. An old box is cubboard, ward. robe and table. Another box, out- side. houses his best friend, a wolf hound.

Parisians to Dance “The Banana Slde” The “Banana Slide” secems to Paris dancing masters a good sub- stitute for the Charleston and the Black Bottom. They describe the Charleston as dying and the Black Bottom as successfully stopped before it got well started. The Banana Slide, alrcady dem- onstrated in public here, combines silk- hatted gentleman skidding on a banana peel, and certain steps from the old reliable fox-trot with a slight addition of the quieter move- ments of the Charleston. Some critics regard the slide as too much like the vaudeville dance artists’ gplit with a recovery, to be executed by the average dancer.
