resembling that OF diphtheria, together
with a swelling Of the Emphatic glands

thought the disease was diphtheria.
but exudate from the throat was for

then It has been suggested that the dis
ease may prove 10 be a non-typical va
riety of scarlet fever or measles.
Paris is suffering from a similar cpl
demic. and there the death rate among
children affected averages fifteen to
twenty per cent, which is worse than
the mortality from diphtheria before

Although there were not ten people
in the audience aware Of her IDENTITY
she and Clifford received strong ap-
plause. particularly in the tango num-
Der. She was a bit nervous. for, as she
said later in her dressing room. she had
not danced publicly for seven years.
Nevertheless, she was very graceiui
and pretty.
The small dressing room she shares
with "Teddie" Gerard was crowded
with flowers. At the close Of the per-

She said that after the first trial OF
Harry Thaw she received many stage

needed money. as she had a child to
support. Besides. she wanted to make
reputation for herself, so that she
could appear in New York later per-

If the post is continued. Thomas

fBy Cable 20 Tho Tribune.

London, June 1.-The Londoner at

suit OF the controversy now raging on
the subject Of the tango and ragtime
dances. An article on The Bunnyhug
and a Young Mans Morals" in The
Daily Mall" under the signature "A
Young Man in London" says
Everything In England must be sub
mitted TO the test of morality. whether
this be an appropriate test or not. In
this country every new form of amuse-
ment or entertainment is forced 10 un-
dergo fierce scrutiny by that section
Of the community which keeps a
gloomy and watchful eye ever open
for anything that may possibly come
under the elastic definition of not quite
nice, and that is the cause Of those
accusations OF hypocrisy so often flung
at us by the light-hearted Latins.
The attraction Of Paris TO most per-
sons Is certainly not its vice. do not
pretend to know that city well, but l
have been there long enough to feel
how absolutely different It's atmos-
phere is from that of London. l think
the difference lies in the fact that
Parisians are moral without being NOR
bidly so. and mind their own business.
An Englishman's and an English
womans appetite for scandal is in
satiable. They positively cannot mind
their own business.
This country feels IL like heavy
weight. that cold. relentless stare OF
conscious militant rectitude fixed upon
one. almost driving one TO crimes. In
Paris one feels ones self among sunny
people. with a splendid and sensible dis
regard for other peoples ethical sys-
tens. Paris seems TO lack that type
OF individual specimens which can be
seen on the top of any London omni-
bus, whose inclination. II not practice,

important parts. the signature and a
stamp. and regard such activities mere

I'm England we have plenty Of watch
