BY MAUD MILLER.

Just when everybody thought he or
she had mastered the one-step. the hes
itation, maxixe and tango. along come
several new dances, which will keep us
in dancing school for another while and
silence the cynic who predicted the death
of the dancing craze.
Maurice and Florence Walton. who are
originally responsible for the dance
mania in America and also have the dis
tinction of winning Queen Mary's en-
thusiastic approval of the tango, are
showing New Workers new dance
one OF Maurice's inventions-called the
''Pericon,' also a waltz classique, and
the one-step eccentrique-the three novel
ties of the season.
In her apartments at the Biltmore
Florence Walton talked to Bee repre-
sentative of the new dances and dancing
generally. when Maurice introduced
the ene-step and tango TO New Workers
four years ago he prophesied then that
the dancing craze would last five years
and here we are In our fourth year with
interest still undated and people gen.
orally showing more enthusiasm for
the art.
American people are most tickle,
continued Miss Walton, ''and as soon as
they learn a dance they must have some
thing new. something different to con-
quer. Realizing this, Maurice has con-
tinually created new steps and postures
until we include sixteen beautiful dances
In our repertoire.
"Our latest the pericon, is one OF the
easiest dances. combining, as II does
tango and schottische with few Russian
steps. The veriest amateur can master
It in one lesson and for ballroom dancing
it far excels the tango"
How is the pericon danced? Why. We

Western High School Fire.

The serious damage by fire to the splendid West
ern High School building was 4 real calamity to
Washington. interruption the studies OF the 700
pupils at the most important period OF the school
term and the necessity of distributing them
among the graded schools emphasizes again the in
adequacy OF the Capitals school facilities and the
need for the utmost expedition in completing the
building projects under way which have been
unnecessarily delayed by controversies sites and
cost
The fire also serves to prove that this supposedly
freproof building was nothing of the sort 1t dis
closed too, that the worth 100000 not
insured and that there are night watcfmen on
duty in any of the school buildings. In explanation
II the policy OF insuring school property is set
forth that Congress forbade the insurance Of public
buildings in the District upon ascertanng that during
The five years from 1897 to 1902 the amount paid in
Insurance premiums $4,000, while the sum re-
ceved for damages was $4,000. Even taking those
figures as a basis OF calculation insurance policies
would appear to be good investment, and the
balance is all on the wrong side OF the ledger.
The origin of the fire has not yet been salts
factorily explained, and the circumstances seem to
demand thorough investigation

utmost to make provision for Westerns pupils with
as little loss of time as possible, which will the

Grand Central and Charing Cross claim
