DANCERS ARE .AUTocRlAT1c.
Every season has it's novelty in the
matter OF artists. This yearit was the
Russian dancers Who carried all be-
fore them. They commanded any terms
they chose to ask andSit goes without
saving Americans We're their greatest
patrons. ESacting and autocratic as
the car himself, they laid down the
law to their would-be patrons In re-
gnrd to the particular room in which
they would dance and IN respect to the
size or the stage on which they would
perform, stating accurately the dimen-
sions in inches, They told Mrs Potter
Palmer their requirements, but as she
was extremely, busy making arrange
ments for the party she forgot To see
that the stage in her ballroom was what
was necessary. Late in the afternoon
OF the day on, which the party was
taking place one Of the prospective
performers came along to note that
everything was iii readiness The iin-5
slant he looked at the stage he shook
his head ominously. Then out came
his measure. The floor proved to be
quite three feet too marrow. Most cer-
tainly they would not dance, he said
Not for Mrs Potter Palmer or the
queen herself would they jeopardize
their reputation. Mrs Potter Palmer
was at her wits end. She offered an.
extra 5000 ii they would only try to
meet the exigences of the case He
gscoffed att the idea. Not for $500
would they do such a thing.
Ri Mrs Potter Palmer saw the
only way out off the difficulty
on the terrace overlooking the park.
She telephoned to a great firm Of dec
orators. and before an hour was over
an army of carpenters was at work.
BY rushing things for all they We're
worth. the stage was ready by mid
night and the room sinsorder. No guest
had the remotest idea of what9the host
5ess had gone through in the previous
hours, The Russian dancers had been
put forward MS a special attraction and
Mrs. Potter Palmer knew If their per-
Torrance fell through she might say
good buy to the success of her party
But the worry and anxiety nearly killed
her She announced that very night
that the end of the season had come
for her and that She would neither en-
terrain nor go out again in London this
summer
