T \ order to dance the one-step or any
of the new dances properly it is
pre-supposed that the dancers
have keen sense of rhythm, and that
they are more or less evenly matched
as to height.
The steps taken by the two dancers
should be of equal length and the man
must guide the lady in a decided fash
ion, without hesitation.
The man should place his hand on
the lady's waist, not between her
shoulder blades, as is frequently seen.
The music of the one-step is in two
four or two-step time, ragtime music.
The beat of the music should be en-
phasized.

Daysey Mayme and
Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

TINE Society for the Classification
Of Household Germs had been
called together at the solicita-
ton of the spinster members. They
wanted to know Who Makes the Best
Husbands?
The married women knew there
haint no such thing" but as it is a
part of the deception Of matrimony for
every woman to claim she won the first
prize, no wife dared remain away. II
too honest to give active testimony in
favor of what she won, she could at
least compromise with the truth by
smiling triumphantly at her spin sis
tiers.
Il wish to state" said one spin, that
the best husband is not the man who
has retired from business life. I speak
from observation at the home of a
friend. Her husband has retired from
business life and he devotes his life to
putting his chair just where she wants
to sweep next"
I'm my opinion reported another
spin, "a doctor makes the poorest kind
OF a husband. I have a friend whose
husband is doctor, and some days she
has to warm his dinner as often as
seven times before he can finish it. One
day he ate his soup at r. and had a
case calling him away between every
course, finishing his dessert at $50

the telephone TO a woman who had a
boil on her ear"

MOST CERTAINLY NOT.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l have been keeping company
with a man who has been separated
from his wife about a year. We in
tend to marry when he secures a
divorce, which is now pending. Is
it proper for me to appear in pub
lie with this man? A READER.
Ii is not only improper for you to
appear with him in public, but equally
wrong to see him at any time.
No man honors a woman by wooing
her when he is bound to another wom-
an. He should be free first. He is
compromising your good name by pay
ing you attention so long as he is an
other woman's husband.

A Personal Question.

Mrs G. was deeply interested in all
that pertained to the welfare of the
city and had bitterly opposed the i'm
portaton of Hungarians and Italians
to work on the municipal improve
ments under way. In walking one day
on street where some of these "fllthy
creatures" were at work, she approach
ed one who was particularly offensive
to her fastidious sight.
How long do you wear your shirt ?"
she asked haughtily.
The foreigner politely indicated the
exact length.

The one-step is composed of groups
of four steps each with a dip or slight
bending of the knee on the fourth step.
The body is carried erect. The dip is
very slight.
In beginning the dance the lady be-

"Simply to see that justice is done,
and because detectives that | have en-

reason Mrs Lynch gives for her espousal
of the defendants cause. Leehan was
formerly employed by her as stenog-
rapher, and she had such confidence in
his integrity that she Immediately came
to his aid when accusation was lodged
against him

SEATTLE SOCIALISTS DEFIANT.
They Will Disobey Injunctions Against
Street Speaking, They Announce.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 30.Announee-
ments were made yesterday at meeting
of Socialists that injnnctions forbidding
street speaking issued by Superior Judge
John f. Humphreys, would be set at
naught in a campaign Of open air ad-
dresses that the Socialists declare they
mean to inaugurate. Sunday night the
police took hand in the controversy by
arresting two Socialist street speakers,
Kate Sadler and William McNally, both
of whom were released under bonds of
$3.50. Following the announcement that
the fifty persons now under arrest for
contempt would demand jury trial when
their cases were called before Judge
Humphreys, it was stated that the de-
PENDANTS intended to ask for separate
trials. This, it is said, would swamp
all departments of the Superior Court
for weeks.
