Briefly, I have not seen any essential diff
ference between American luxury and European
luxury. The cry about American extravagance
had its origin not in Europe but in Amer
ice, and it is rather proof Of American democracy
This cry about extravaganza has been raised by Ame
cans who have been brought up in the spirit Of puri
tanim and democracy and could not look ndiherenty
upon any growth Of luxury which followed the growth
of great riches in the last century The luxury of the
rich Americans could not appear nearly great to

SUfFRAGETTE WALTZ IS
LATEST IN The EAST
UNLIKE THE OLD WAY IN THAT
=: THE LADY is THE LEAD
z
Man Will Be Employed Mostly In
Holding Up Train Of Partner and
Being Rescue in Case Of Accident.

Now that Lent is about over and
social activities are about to com
mence again it might be we'll to get
next to the latest dance. Here it
is:
The latest thing for nice, young
dancing men. It is the suffregette
waltz. They are already teaching it
in adj the big dancing academies OF
the east. 1t has sociological sig
nificance. OF course it comes from
London where the suffregattes orig
mated, but it has. caught on over here
where smatteYng of suffrage is
necessary to the fashionable women.
The fair dancer is no longer the
clinging vine piloted by the firm arm
of her stalwart partner. The up-to-
date suffragette does her own pilot
ing, pinioning the arms that once up
held her In a stern and parliamentary
grasp.
Equal rights, and then some," is
her cry and the muscle that once
kept her from slipping on the floor
now is employed for the meaner
purpose, OF holding up her train.
The man no longer leads; he is be-
ing led In the dance. The suffrage
pipeth and he danceth. She holds,
she grasps, and he becomes meek and
like unto clay in her hands. Though
he appears to be in subsection it is
noticeable that he is doing all the
work. He has his hands behind her
back to steady her should she feel
inclined to lean against it, and his
other hand is employed in managing
the draperies which have held the
dancer In bondage SO long.
The advocate of " suffrage steers
through the mazes Of the dance and
indicates when she wants to reverse
by pulling or showing her partner as
the case may be.
The above may not be a very lucid
explanation but it will have to answer
until you have seen the real thing
and they do say that it has started
for the west already.

there has been deposited in the coun.

There has been as yet only one at
tachment of property where the party
assessed has neglected to pay, but
there will be more if the collections
are not made in the near future, as

Los Angeles, March 15.-Los Angeles

the person of w. D. Stephens, former

merce of this city and a member of a

NICARAGUA DENIES
ANY SINISTER
MOTIVES
SAYS MILITARY PREPARATIONS
ARE FOR DEFENSIVE, NOT
OFFENSIVE PURPOSES.

Washington, March 15.-Nicaragua,
through her minister here, Senor Es-
pinoza, protested to Secretary Knox
today that the military and naval ac-
tivity in that country is entirely for
defensive purposes and that she does
not contemplate attacking her sister
republics and that internal conditions
are quiet.
The minister went to the state de-
and spent half an hour with the sec
retary, during which he discussed also
the Emery claim, which has been the
source of dispute between the two
countries for years. Both the secretary
and the minister later expressed hope
claim and a peaceful solution Of the
whole situation.
The administration has decided,
however, to increase the naval force
in Central American waters to six
vessels. In addition to the Yorktown,
now en- route for Amapala, Honduras,
the armored cruisers Maryland and
washington are to remain on the
west coast, the former going to Aca-
kutla, Salvador, and the latter to
Corinto.
The most significant news today
was that about 5000 Nicaraguan
troops are near the Honduran frontier
the chief scene Of activity being in the
neighborhood Of Corinto, where are
also concentrated four gunboats and
other auxialiary craft.
A feature distasteful to the state
department is the manner in which
John H. Gregory, the secretary of le-
cation at Managua who has been or
dered to Washington, is being treated.
There are evidences Of hostility and it
is expected that some of his dispatches
have been delayed.
The state department, though irri-
tated, is not disposed to act hastily
and is seeking the views of the var
ious countries in Central America.
