Lady constance's Dance shockinq

New York, Feb. 22.-Lady Con
stance Stewart Richardson, one of
whose many spectacular specialties is
unconventional dancing, pirouetted in
her bare feet today before an assem-
blage of three men and about 100 of
the most fashionable women of this
city.
She has been here on a visit for
several weeks, having come to see
Mrs. John Jacob Astor and other
American friends, who witnessed some
of her lively exploits in England, chief
of which, perhaps, was the giving of
public exhibitions of swimming and
diving in masculine bathing apparel.
She made England gasp many a time,
and it is known that she created a
sensation today, although the affair
was kept very secret by the invited
ones.
The affair took place in the studio
of Emil Fuchs, an artist, in the BeauX
Arts building in Bryant square.
One thing that became known con-
corning the dances Lady Constance
gave was that her costume was a Sc
yerely classical one, after the Greek
mode, in which filmy winding drap-
cry is considered quite sufficient.

rhyme. I'd MARBLE of bright, sunny
fountains, where water and music are
blent: but I'd have to lug in a few
mountains, or my lines wouldn't fit

pillows, where the dolphins and flying
fish race, but I'd have to say some
thing of willows, which would have
nothing to do with the case I'd sing

have to quote onions and liver, to

sions thus imprinted? Nay, they are recorded there like photograph rec ords on a disk, to be reeled of at will.
 But let us, for the benefit of the younger reader, describe the old time Fourth of July orator. He was tn- variably the big man of our county or maybe of the next county. Almost invariably he was lawyer, but occa- sionally be was merely judge. Let it be understood that it Is not necesr sary for a man carrying the title of judge" to be a lawyer. Not infre- uuently he was both a lawyer and a colonel, and in that case we knew what to expect and primed ourselves for the thrill.
 But we started out to describe the Fourth of July orator, and we have digressed We digressed purposely, for that is just what the orator of the day used to do. He would get swinging start, lambast the atmos- phere, pump vocal pyrotechnics into the cerulean, crate, rotate and gyrate about ten minutes concerning the immortal George, the glorious Declaration, the battle of Bunker Hill and Patrick Hen rvs demand for one thing or the oth- CT; then he would switch off on tan gent that had nothing more to do with American independence than the orbit of Venus has to do with the rings of Saturn. After some minutes running on the switch he would somersault back on to the main line by pausing suddenly and saying, But digress."
 The description? Well, the colonel was q tall thin man, wearing tall, thin suit and q tall, thin linen duster
 He wore also tall plug hat such as ] Abraham Lincoln used to wear. He ] wore tall boots, shined to simmer 1 for the occasion. He wore a low cut vest, the only low down thing about this tall. upright orator. His white
 shirt front gleamed in the sunshine
 that filtered through the lacy ventures
 overhead and helped to raise the tenn

THE ORATOR
 OF LONG AGO

H ERHAPS he still fourishes in D some spots. Flourishes Is the N word we must use, for we are
 talking about the old time Fourth of July orator You remepber him. He fiourished about twenty-five years ago. when you were a boy or girl, begging pardon for thus indicat- ing your age if you happen to be woman.
 We can see him yet if we but shut our eyes to this vain modern world and look inward and backward down the darkening vista of memory. We can hear him yet without corking our ears with the same inward and back ward intention, for what tympanum that ever tingled, what auricular chamber that ever echoed, with the sky high eloquence of that matchless De mosthenes can quite lose the impress
