ff ie, 1 —— (@ } SRESITATION WALTZ: | RIGHATOR MUST PAY $702.11 RENT * Miss Alice Martin Jumped Lease After Quarrel With Girl Co-Tenant. LANDLORD WINS SUIT. Defendant Asserts She Started Famous Dance That Swept Around World. Side-stepping a lease here in New York City is far more difficult than the “one-step,” “the dip" and “the hesitation,” Miss Alice Martin, for- merly of St. Louis, found in Justice Green's part of the City Court to-day. Since coming to this city eight months ago for the primary purpose of establishing her claim as the orl- sinator of the “hesitation” waltz, Miss Martin has lived part of the time in the handsome dwelling of Burton F. White, until recently man- ager of the Madison Square Hotel, at No, 51 West Eleventh Street. Sho took a seven months’ lease on the howse with Zoe Akins, a writer, also of St. Louls, last February. Everything was lovely until the girls had a row over the division of expenses last May, which terminated in Miss Aki... hasty return to St. Louis to join her father, who is the postmaster there, Then Miss Martin, left alone, decided to “jump” the lease, but wound up in the City Court to- day, defendant in a suit for $91 brought by Mr. White, $620 of which fa for unpaid rent up to October 1 last. . The jury returned a verdict for 702.11 in favor of the hotel man, it was only when I investigated { Miss Martin's connections in St. Louis and found her to be the proprietor of the most fashionable dancing school in St. Louis, that I decided to let the girls have the use of my home from February until October. I can ordin- arly get $400 a month for the house, but because of their excellent social standing, I decided they were desir- able tenants and let them have the Place for $150 a month. “When thev got out In May, T found much of the furniture dam- eged and some of the most valuable books of my collection of 6,000 vol- umes missing,” White testified, .Amonk the works that Miss Martin took an especial interest in were “The Morals of Suicide,” the “Mysteries of Paris” and “The House of Bondage.” ‘These books were returned after a man is positive Miss Mar- tin will not miss the $702 awarded by the Court. Besides her large dancing school in St, Louis, she gives private lessons at her home, No. 323 West ‘ighty-ninth street. She is a gradu- fe of Smith College and has the re utation of being the only instructor of the tango in New York who ever taught Greek. In December last her “hesitation’ waltz won the first pirze, a gol mod- al, given by the Revue de la Danse, a Paris periodical representing an or- ganization of prominent French danc- ing teachers, Since coming to New York Miss Martin has appeared with Muth st.

While Miss Caroline Rabbold, fitty- three years old, was eating her break- fast ut her home, No. 106 Lewis Street, Paterson, N. J., at 8 o'clock to- day, the postman brought her a letter with a German stamp on it. She read the letter, pushed back her plate and went to her roum on the third floor, A few minutes later, the people with whom she lived heard a noise on the sidewalk in front of the house, Run- ning to the window, they saw the body of Miss Rabbold; the window of her bedroom on the third floor was open, The woman was hurried to the (ieneral Hospital, but died in less than an hour, Her neck had been broken by tho fall. ‘The letter she had racelved told |blameworthy as the one who makes a | character as well as in her appear- how her brother bad been killed to} battie.

He puts squarely upon the maternal shoulders the blame for the re plainly visible in the costumes of the high school girl. “If these mothers knew,” he declares, “how this thing is viewed by clean young fellows who want to be decent, it might perhaps lead to a rude awakening and, let us hope, to reform.

Irwin is a recognized authority on questions of social hygiene, and she has always been especially interested in young gifls and sympathetic with their problems. Yet she has publicly as- serted that “the modes of dressing, dancing and general laxity of demeanor of our girls take from them the fine bloom of maidenly modesty, and make self-control by our young men difficult if not impossible.” | “The mothers are te blame for the all-revealing quality of the en girl's dress,” Mrs. Irwin maintained to me. “The girl her- self Ts usually ignorant of the ef- fect that she produces. She is an imitative little creature, and she can’t see why it's wrong her to do as her mother does. Just as a man who smokes is unable to persuade his son that cigarettes are bad for him, so the mother who uses rouge and patches may expect her daughter to borrow them. BLIND MOTHERS WHO FAIL TO SET GOOD EXAMPLE. “Actions speak louder than words, and children will not give respect and honor except where these are due, How can a mother expect to see mod- esty, decorum and self-control in her daughter unless she herself sets the example? In London, where I was not long ago, they have a conundrum, ‘What is the matter with the Ameri- can child? The answer Is, ‘The American parent.’ ” Mrs. Irwin was obviously speaking out of deep conviction, She sat be- fore her desk in her little apartment | at No, 668 Pacific street, Brooklyn. She hus a splendidly serene face, framed in wreaths of snow white hair, and her eyes are a clear forget-me- not blue. “But surely there are many Ameri- can mothers who do not dress sugges- tively and who have never used paint and powder,” 1 protested, “Every once in a while I receive a letter from some woman who says that she has ‘slaved’ all her life in order to make her daughters happy, and that they won't even listen to her when she exclaims against their manner of dressing.” “In her way that mother is as glittering show of herself and then expects demure sobriety in her child,” Don’t Let Your Stomach | Trouble You When you fee! miserable, run down, have a bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue and frequent headaches it is a sure sign that your stomach, liver and bowels are not in order and need a g204, thorough cleansing at once.

You can assume what you please con- cerning her. I will not admit that she was purchased for the British Govern- ment.” Cox & Stevens, marine engineers and brokers of No. 15 William Street, who made the sale for Mr. Rouss, wald: “We understand the Winchester ta to be used for commercial purposes in conection with linea for which the Sandersons are agents. It has no munitions of war on board, ao far as we know, nor was it prepared to leave New York Harbor.” Despite this denial, it is known that the Winchester was packed with large quantities of stores, and that she had wireless apparatus more SEED YACHT «=z: chester in New York Harbor by men of the revenue cutter Seneca received me to-day from Capt.
