In about five weeks it was better and
there wasn't mark to tell where the

Graceful Motions
RchcdrSCd in
SeCIuSiOn

Decades after its first bow to a San
Francisco gathering the kirmess has
returned to the Golden Gate. There
are some among the chaperons of the
coming kirmess who admit with
bushes and a womanish backward
ness that they splashed in the spotlight
at that first klrmess way back in pio-
neer days.
Dainty French high heels daily form
the extremities of wondrous angles in
the Norman room of the Fairmont
hotel but the public gaze is absent.
The edict Of banishment has gone forth
from Miss Lila Stewart, who with an
ability bern of much experience is di-
recting the most important part of the
prepare tions for the kirmess, the drill
ing of the dancers. Now, it is under
stood still more wondrous angles will
waste their beauty on the desert air"
The topic of discussion in kirmess
circles yesterday was the dinner to
be given to the Fluffy Ruffies dancers
on~the last day of the kirmess between
performances by the chaperons of that
dance. Every 'kirmesser in the lir-
mess is eagerly awaiting such an an
nouncement from the other chaperons.
Mrs John Metcalfe and Mrs. Harry n.
Gray TWO popular society indtIOAs, are
among the chaperons of the Fluffy
Ruffies dance Miss Frances Stewart
is one of the Fluffy Ruf1es dancers.
In connection with the Spanish and
tarantella dances, Mrs. Horton Forest
Phipps will appear in two of the most
unique and picturesque dancing spe-
cialties Of the kirmess. Mrs. Phipps will
dance La Manola" and La Taran
tella." The costume she Will wear was
imported from Spain and cost several
thousand dollars. Mrs. Phipps beauty,
grace and dash well fit the picturesque
Castilian dances
Mrs Margaret NJ. Deane and Mrs. NJ.
H de Young, the former a California
pioneer and the latter leader of the
smart set" are among the dance

Young Englishman Causes Ar

fered to Share Profits
Accuser Says He Was Induced
to Go South After Paying
Out His Money

Fortune played into the hands of the
police and f. Clifton, young English
man Saturday and paved the way for
the arrest of F. Haydn, alias Wilson,
charged with having swindled Clifton
through fake moving picture scheme.
1t is said that at least 20 other persons
have been victimized recently in the
same manner
According to the story Clifton tells.
Haydn secured Cliftons money and
then directed him to go to Los Angeles,
where Clifton discovered that he had
been fooled. Then he returned to this
city and went to the National hotel,
11S9 Market street, where he ran into
Haydn and had him arrested by De-
tective FreeI
ADVERTISED FOR PARTNER
Under the name of Wilson, Haydn
advertised for a partner with $50 to
go into the moving picture business
A promise of $40 a week salary was
offered as an inducement. Clifton an
swered the advertisement and was told
that the concern that needed a partner
nad contract with carnival com
pany to display motion pictures at $50 a
week. Haydn said that he lacked the
money necessary to buy the required
instruments.
Haydn took Clifton to an Office in
Fillmore street, where the Englishman
was introduced to Charles Logan, who
posed as the man who owned the ma
chimes which We're needed.
SUPPLIED CASH FOR VENTURE
Clifton supplied $3.50 for the venture
and was then informed that he would
have to put up $41 as his share of a
payment of $50 for a rheostat. Clifton
fell for this. too, and was told then that
at would be necessary for the two
Clifton and Haydin-to go to Los An
geles.
At the last moment Haydn said that
he would be detained over a day and
told Clifton to go to Los Angeles and
wait there for the other members of
the firm Although Clifton used up
most of his money in the journey, and
Haydn thought that his victim was out
of the way. Clifton did not stay in the
citrus belt, and now the police are
looking for Logan.
