ON BUNNY HUG

mental trans-Pacific skipper come to
the fore and declared himself as OPP
posed to a clever execution of new
and startling dances on board ship.

terpsichorean abilities that were
placed unCer the probe by no less
seasoned westminster than Captain

CATION steamer Lurline, the occasion

The trip, and during a social session,
Tor which the Lurline is famed, that
Miss Alice Teddy literally bounded
Into the center of the spot light
While dance was in progress Miss
Alice entered the lists and before she
had executed a score of steps, Captain
Weeden as we'll as several Of his

passenger in the Lurline, stepped
into the arena. Having possessed
q previous acquaintance with the lady
during his managerial career on the
Coast, McGreer finally succeeded in
pacifying and smoothing down the
rather rumpled sensibilities of a once
thoroughly irate female, to an extent
that she agreed to retire to the Sc
clusion of her boudoir for the re-
mainder OF the evening.
Miss Alice Teddy is native daugh-
Ter of California, being bear, and
highly trained animal at that, who
