TOE NEW DANCES By Sophie Irene Loeb Copyright, 1920, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) N an article recently I wrote about the value of keeping youthful by coming in contact with youth, A scrubwoman writes me: “The most beautiful thing in life is youth, and the next, getting in touch with it. At fifty I had to begin all over again, having lost everything. “It was just my love for kiddies and young people t! gave me the strength to do tt ow, at almost sixty, though only a serubwoman and with far from the best of health, I would not change places with’ 4 Queen, for to the kiddies of the nel borhood I am a pal. “The young people make me their ‘trouble woman’ and the kiddies and I, well, when the sun of prosperity shines on me a little, to the extent of an extra day's work, we have our cake and moving picture parties, and how we do enjoy ourselves. “Why should old age be bitter or lonely when there is so much youth in the world?

But the modern shimmy has changed all that. The shimmy {s the only thing since the Declaration of Indepen- dence to prove that all men are equal. So long as the shim is here, the lame, the dumb and the biind can dance, provided’ they've got two shoulders, Any night you can see guys with flat feet, flat chests and flat heads dancing the dulcet shimmy. It's the only thing a Democratic Administration has given us by and with the consent of the Senate, ; into Since the shimmy came power, a bird can be shaken up more in a ballroom wrestle than a railroad wreck, Society smiles on the shim dance, and the police force laughs at it. It's the only thing Fifth Avenue and the Bast side bave agreed on since the war was declared.

Ali his life he has been in a rade of one sort or anot! sometimes he has won and sometimes Jost. His philosophy, and the true sport- ing philosophy, he summed up pretty well in describing his impressions of King Edward Vil, who, when he was Prince of Wales, commissioned Tod to ride for him after the American jockey’s phenomenal successes on our traoke, “T can't say I'd trade places with the Prince,” sald Tod. “Things come too easy with him, He can never know the fun of beating out the whole field by your own nerve and skill." That's what Tod Sloan did, in race after race, beginning with those in which he rode the horses of “Pitts- burgh Phil" Smith. He became the rage as a jockey, Made $50,000 a year, bought a yacht, built an expensive home near Sheepshead Bay and smoked better cigars than anybody in Amertea, with the possible excep- tions of Richard Croker, J. P. Morgan sr. and John W. Gates, ‘Dis era of good fortune was in the last decade of the nineteenth century, when horse-racing was not only the sport of kings but the sport of Americans. In 1897 he made his first trip to ingland, to ride for James R. Kee and there he even outshone his Ame jean record. With his "monkey-on-a- stick” seat, he revolutionized racing in England and on the Continent, and won twenty-one races tn a single month, as well as huge sums of money. About this time he even had a race with his rdrobe. ‘Through # mis- take his trunks: full of wonderful clothes—-he was the Beau Brummel of the race track—were going down the harbor on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, bound for Bremen, at the mo- ment when their owner reached the pier to depart on the Deutschland, bound for Plymouth. History doth not record whether Tod or Tod's trunks first reached the other side, At thé gaming tables, as well as on the race tracks, he took all the chances of a during sport—and didn't always win. In fact, he is said to have raced through the expenditure of $1,000,000 at a mew record for speed, He dropped $160,000 in the automobile business and $40,000 in the show busines Other days that were not victory days came. He got into a mix-up with a waiter at Ascot, and ts sald to have thrown a bottle at him, He was at loggerheads with the English racing authorities, he had trouble with the French powers that be. Finally, in 1900, he was told not to apply for a license to ride in Pmgland again. He came to America and tried to obtain permission from the Jockey Club to ride, but It was refused him He seemed to have won love's handicap when in 1907, after a court- ship of three years, he married Julia Sanderson, comle opera star and one of the most beautiful women on the Amertean stage.
