Washington has a new dance. A real
live new dance.
1t was introduced last night amid a
@torm OF bystericaI enthusiasm that has
not beer equaled since Madame Fou-
gere gave her performance here-the
performance for which she was after

This dance has Madame Fougere's
effort beaten several ways. AS a poetic
effusion, for instance, it contains much
that was lacking In the little French
lady's performance-but let that pass.
Its greatest hope OF fame lies in the
fact that neither grace nor sinuous

FROM ALL OVER THE UNION.
Washington Apartment Housea Corr
tain a Cosmopolitan Crowd.

How many states are represented
In the roster of the occupants of the
house?" the clerk at one of the big
gest Washington apartment houses
was asked, and the reply was: TT
would be much easier to tell how
many are not. We have them from
nearly every state in the union"
A mere categorical elaboration Of
this assertion would be uninteresting.
1t Is enough to say that one of the big
apartment houses numbers among it's
occupants, when congress is in ses-
sion, both senators from Idaho, a sena-
tor from Oregon, a senator from Cali
fornia, representatives from Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and Ohio, the
secretary of the French legation and
scores of other persons equally as d.
versified with respect to residential
antecedents. Another has a senator
from Colorado, a senator from Mis-
souri,, and representatives from the
following states: Ohio, Texas, Colo
RADIO, Missouri, Florida, Indiana. North
Carolina, New York, Illinois and Min
nesota, as well as the counsel of lega-
ton of Colombia and other people, Of
fetal and unofficial, from north, south,
east and west. Another apartment
house contains two legations, those
OF Guatemala and Panama, the coun-
selor of the Japanese embassy, a SEN
ator from Maryland, one from Utah.

and Venezuelan legations are In apart

diplomats have residences in apart

themselves neighbors with others

Whether the natives of various
states are distributed among the apart
ment houses in the same proportion
that they are distributed in the city
at large 1t is difficult to tell. 1t is hard
enough to keep track of the number of
apartment houses, which are spring
ing up like mushrooms in various
parts of the city, and such task is
hereby side-stepped, because there are
already figures enough in this article.

Baby Goldberg did not have a vein
in his arm large enough to see with
magnifying glass, SO it was decided
that an incision should be made in
his femoral vein, which runs close
by the femoral artery in the leg. Two
operating tables were drawn together
and the child, scarcely breathing and
pallid as chalk, was placed alongside
of his father, who had been put under
the influence of ether.
The smallest cannula in the sur

For 80 minutes it did not seem pos
'sible that a connection could be made
between the two circulatory systems,
but it was accomplished at last and
the flow began from the unconscious
father to the wailing babe.
The change in the puny patient
was marvellous, and the doctors crowd
ed around the tables to watch the re-
suit. With each pulsation of the
mans heart the complexion of the
child changed From CHASTITY white
it began to grow a faint pink then
deeper, then red and finally blush
scarlet.
The surgeon in charge, keeping a
record of both pulses, directed his
assistant to shut off the flow at the
expiration of so minutes. 1t was es-
timated that in that time quart Of
, blood had flowed from the arteries
of the father into the veins of the
child. The supply and receiving
