It will be of value in tracking the criminals and therefore the police would not give it out, but it is known that it warned Lette he was marked for death and told him he knew why. The detectives who hurried to the place under Acting Capt. William Déevy were not long in recognizing the crime as having all the earmarks of the old gang’s work and a deter- mined effort is being made to get the men responsible to prevent another series of similar murders.

For two years she has been circumnavigating ir w “eeu the globe with her beautiful classic dancing, and on four continents she has picked up the trail of the new social dances. Likewise and most honestly she is shocked by them, this young woman whose terpsicho- rean twinkling of slim white feet touched off a whole battery of shocks and thrills a few years ago, The barefoot dancer blushes for ballroom dancing—for some of it, anyway.

I sailed from Spain to Bombay and travelled all over India —Caleutta, Simla, Dethi and all the other show places, I had two won- derful weeks near Mount Everest, on the border of Thibet, the highest peak in the world. Besides dancing, I collected many beautiful native cos- tumes and pieces of jewelry. “1 went to Burma and from there to Hongkong, China.

It was not dancing; it was more like a hug- ging match, And how the young men pulled the girls around!" Miss Allan's eyebrows lifted and a staccato note crept into her smooth tones. “It was the worst dancing I have ever seen,” she repeated. “I was utterly shocked, My friends laughed Angeles I saw young girls dancing in a fashion that was neither graceful nor modest. In Chicago, however, I saw two or three modern dances done charmingly by an American woman who js a professional dancer.” “On the whole, do you approve of the world's dancing during the last two years?” I asked. Miss Allan looked even graver than usual, “I have seen the fox-trot, the tango and the hositation done rather pret- uly," "she conceded, ‘Lhe one-step is nothing; a mere tum-ti-tum. The new dances may be done well; they may be done with neither dignity nor elegance. An interest in the dance may bo an excellent thing; carried to the point of mania it may do great harm.” “At least, men like the new dancs,” I submitted, “How the one-step is bringing out the old men!” sho laughed. “It just suits them— ht have been made for them. There are 80 many old gentlemen in the ballroom nowadays.
