With three silver cups as proofs of her terpsichorean ability Mrs. Walter F. Scheftel, well known &s a society woman, returned to New York yesterday from Europe. She danced in three European capitals, Paris, London and Berlin, but her | prizes were won at the Palace Hotel, St. Morits, Switzerland. One was for the tango, one for the maxixe and one for the one-step. “In Paria what they call “the American dance’ is making a great sensation,” Mrs. Scheftel aaid to-day. “This dance is nothing in the world but the one-step—to us the easiest and simplest of the new dances. But the Parisians can't do it at all | well. Everywhere one sees couples Practising it and making a ead fall- ure. . “On the other hand, few Americans can dance the tango and the mazize with the grace and precision of the | French, These dances first became | popular in Paris and are beautifully done there, We are much less euc- cessful in undertaking them, and we realize it when we see the French dancing them. 455500008 LE See’ sew ag i ta2 2 anne “wou, wei bad." fe. a tek tee firacneaae wep 7 Take Your Partners for the Lulufada! -Society Woman Brings It From Paris “In Paris thero has been no move- | 3 | ment of shocked protest against any | > of the new ateps.

Receiver of Taxes Frederick Ep stein has a problem on his hands. Just as he was expounding President Wilson's claim that the hard times are merely “psychological,” and point- ing to the $3,000,000 increase in tax receipts ao far this year to prove it, a olerk came up and informed him the smallest tax bill in the city was unpaid, in spite of persistent at- tempts to collect. The piece of ground is located at the junction of Depew avenue and Bridgeton treet, in Tottenville, Richmond, and has a frontage of 3 feet 4 inches by 3 feet and 1-4 inches. The yearly assessment is $1 and the tax amounts to one cent a year, “This is the smallest tax bill in the city," Epstein said after be had looked into the matter, “The law provides for the imposing of 7 per cent. interest on all tax bills unpaid by May 31. The law stipulates also that property owners pay their yearly taxes in two parts, one n May and the other in November, so what are you going to do with the one penny assessment, Neither can you charge him the 7 per cent, in- terest, for it would take fifteen years before the interest would be equal to the principal.” SPOKEN WORDS CARRIED BY WATER MANY YARDS Boston Interested in Experiments With New Device to Aid in Saving Lives.

It was at- tendef by the members of the dipio- matic corps and many prominent people in the social world of the Spanish capital. A Russian ballet was given for the entertainment of the guests.

County Judges John F. Hylan and Robert H. Roy, who have been sit- ting in Brooklyn since their appoint- ment by Gov.

This wan the decision rendered by Justice Jayeox in the Supreme Court to-day in quo warranto proceedings institated by William H. Snyder, a taxpayer, through Hugo Hirsch, counsel. ‘There has boon a question over the legality of the appointment of the two judges, The law passed by the last Legislature provides that two addi- tional county judges are to be elected in Kings In 1915. The judges are needed now, and Gov. Glynn, acting on an opinion rendered by Attorney- General Carmody, appointed them to serve until Jan. 1, 1916, when the elected judges are to take office.
