That Seattle, but comparatively few years removed from a_ pioneer settlement, ~~ ‘should produce such promising dancers as Caird Leslie, Clara Wells and Franklin Crawford speaks well for the artistic future of the city. And if Bolm, as the great, present-day master of the dance, can impart to his students something of his own marvelous understanding of the choreographic art, then Seattle may yet become the Petrograd of America.

Near her home, she stops to listen to the exhortations of a Salvationist, and accidentally bumps into a man. The man, a stranger to her, is immaculately attired.

Chatting girlishly, she tells Tallen- tyre of her yearning to “have heaps of money and lovely clothes, and live in a beautiful house.” By chance, Tallen- tyre reveals that Ralph Hillyard, whom Jill’s sister is to marry, is rich, tho both Jill and Kathy have believed him to be without funds. Tallentyre frankly tells Jill that he himself is hard pressed financially. Then Tallentyre exacts a promise that Jill shall not tell Kathy that Hillyard is rich. Tallentyre takes Jill to a corner near her home, but she refuses to pe®mit him to go to the house because she does not want him to see the atmosphere of poverty in |which she lives. ” OW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER V drawn and I.
