had dislike for clothing, or else their
wardrobes were at the spongers.
In less time than it takes to tell the
dancers had the lobby to themselves.
The society women had decided 1t was
time for them to retire to their dining
halls. But they were curious, and
through cracks in the doors they
watched the dancers enter the hall in
which the spongers were.
Soon the weird music that accompa-
MES the cooche-cooche was waited
from the spongers' room. Only a
screen barred the door from the lobby
and the Harlem society women could
hear shouts OF Great" "She's the
real thing!" and Bring back the same
grill"
1t was too much. The spirit OF Eve
took possession of the women and a
dozen of them tip-toed across the lobby
and peered through the screen. Soon
they were Joined by others, until the
lobby was filled. Only those in front
could see. "Babe" Briel was in full
motion.
The oriental dancer suddenly ceased
to dance and told a story which caused
the spongers to roar with laughter,
but Harlem society fled. 1t did not
again attempt to see the show.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Fifty young
women were shocked into flight last
night when they secretly witnessed a
performance given by dancing girls
at dinner and entertainment of the
Cloth Spongers' union in Reisenweber' S
restaurant on Eighth avenue.
Besides this dinner, two others were
given at the restaurant. One was a
beefsteak dinner to Miss Florence Du-
veen Of London and the other dinner
given in honor of Miss Florence Bear
of the Hotel Netherlands.
The women guests at this last dim
ner-all well known In upper east and
west side social circles--were first to
arrive. They threw OFF their wraps
in the cloak room and waited for other
guests In the lobby.
When the cloth spongers arrived a
few minutes later they notified the
management that they had arranged
vaudeville program and asked If
there was not some other way than
by the lobby in which the performers
could enter. When told there was not,
they said they would not be respon-
sible for what might happen.
Shortly afterward the first OF the
performers arrived. She was Babe
Briel, oriental dancer" She paraded
into the lobby from the dressing room
adorned In spangles and a smile. Next
came a Spanish dancer, Miss La
Blanche" described on the program

DOG SERVES PRISON TERM

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 26.--"Waldo," :"
the famous dog belonging to C. p.
O'Reilley and Robert Mack, superin-
tendent and assistant superintendent of
the workhouse, is lying in durance vile,
subject of the same treatment which
is given the rest of the involuntary
guests of the house of correction.
He is walked in the corridors, fed
bread and water and made to stand
"trusty' guard duty. He is even locked
up In cell at night. He Is being
given all the corrective" treatment
his masters know how to administer.
He has been bad. remarkably bad. He
persisted in stealing chickens at the
city farm colony this summer.
"Waldo" came to j. b. Vining, super
intendent of charities, a dilapi1ated dog
year ago, sentenced to be shot. Vim
ing commuted the sentence and put
"Waldo" on his good behavior. Mack
took him to the farm at Warrensville,
where he soon became fast friends with
everyone.
One day while foraging he scented a
bird afield. He chased and retrieved
It, bringing ii back to the farm head
hurt and his pride outraged when one
OF the assistants exclaimed. "Why.
that's one of Jones' chickens" and
boxed his ears.
He brought another chicken back
two days later. Again his ears We're
slapped. After that he ate the chickens
where he killed them and eliminated
the slap.
Mack took counsel with O'Reilly.
Hes a good dog. I've been told that
he's marked excellently," said the
superintendent to his assistant. "We
can't shoot him. What'll we do?'
Hes pretty smart, all right" said
Mack. "Say, let's see what he has to
say"
They brought the dog in and looked
at him.
Guilty" said some chicken feath-
ers on his fur coat.
Thirty days" said O'Reilly. and the
dog was shipped to the workhouse by
the next car.

POLAR BEARS SEE

HAVE JOYOUS REVELS AT THE
LONDON zoo
Though Native to Frozen North, They
Are Born in Captivity and Do Not

Element

Special to The Herald.
LONDON, Jan. 26, - Beatrice and
Sam, the Polar bears at the zoo, were,
without doubt, the happiest married
couple in London yesterday, despite
Sans we'll known selfishness.
Never since they left the frozen
north unwillingly have they had such
a day OF cold delight, or seen such
sights, recalling the snowbound Arctic
regions of their long-lost home.
When Sam and his faithful spouse
retired to rest on Christmas night they
were both feeling somewhat homesick,
for there Was suspicion of frost In
the air that had reminded them of the
icy hummocks OF Nova Zembla, which
they feared they would never see again.
Shortly after midnight, however
Sam was awakened from a dream OF
the north pole by his wife who grunt-
ed, Wake up, Sam. It's showing"
Are you up at the pole again?''
growled the incredulous Sam. "You
must be dreaming. 1t never SHOWS
