THE REAL TANGO

From La Revue Sud-Americane Paris.
L never say the tango in it's native coun-
try resemble the tango as 1t is danced in
Paris. In the Vile Lumiere one sees a
long string of motor cars leaving the
split skirts of gossamer material, with
their dainty feet in transparent stockings
that men are bound to admire. They go to
a tango tea, where they dance a whim-
sical dance, throwing themselves back
ward and forward into the arms of sty-
lishly dressed dandies with hair parted
in the middle, to the strains of a gypsy
band
This is the tango. but it is not the tango
of the Argentine gauoho and his ''novia .
In front of the Argentine rancho on a
quiet moonlight night one sees another
tango. The gaucho tueks up his ''chiripa -
filings back his "phoncho' and, holding
his dark-eyed beauty by the waist whirIs
her around in a frantic movement, to stop
suddenly and fix upon her a gaze of saw
age ecstasy. The dogs howl and bark
while the guitars play, and when the
men have swallowed glass after glass of
"aguardiente doble'' the scene not infre-
quently winds up with an improvised duel
with the knife between two of the guests,
and one of them is sure to rise no more
from the ground. The women scream. the
dim lamps go out the gauchos lean on
their horses and gallop away, leaving the
dead man to be buried by some good Sa-
naritan the next morning-and this is the
true tango.

Maeterlinck Is Taboo

The announcement comes from
Rome that all the works of Maurice
Maeterlinck have been placed on the
"index" of books forbidden to Roman
Catholics. Naturally stir has been
created among the admirers of this
author, whose popular "Blue Bird"
has perhaps done more than any of his
other works to make his name famil-
lar to people in this country.
The "Index Librorum Prohibitorum
Expurgandorum" was instituted n
the stormy period following the refor-
nation. A commission was appointed
by the Council of Trent to draw up
list of prohibited books, but in 1868
relegated the matter to the pope. A
few years later Pope Plus V appointed
the sacred congregation of the index.
The present congregation consists of
20 cardinals and 80 consultors. A
book that has been placed on the Sin

cities that trade extensively in Cleveland

quite so remarkable. Nature has done
its duty for Birmingham, and 1t only
remains for her people to do the rest.
"Our party. composed of some of our
principal business men, came here to get
in touch with the people of this city that
buy commodities in our city. We, of
course, buy some things here. Tt is a
cooperative proposition wherein we both
win. I hope that Birmingham and
Cleveland will pull together for the mu-
tual advantage of both cities. There is
nothing to it-this is fine place and l

"A little too commercial" Senator Sher-

"A picture dealer entered well-known

and bargained for a large canvas-a
landscape of meadowland and cattle.
When the price was agreed on and paid,
the dealer took out his knife and, to the
artists horror, with one sweep of the
blade, cut the canvas in two.

AS matter of fact after the opera
in New York, the concerts are the most
popular of musical attractions and the
Flonzaley quartet stands at the head OF
the list. In New York they are frequently
termed The Fashionable Flonzaleys,' for

class. | recall attending a concert one

terday.
"And the predictions made by the goose

between Jack Frost and the grounding as

that 800, 900 should be cash and $780,

that the bonds should be guaranteed

Sometime ago a delegation from a small
church in a Pennsylvania town. where
Carnegie once lived, called upon the

have come to ask your help in the pur-

"Well." said Carnegie that's enough
for any organ. I'll not contribute a cent?

POLITE CONVERSATION

From the Argonaut
Henry Cabot Lodge tells us in his vol
ume of "reminiscences that manners have
changed a good deal since he was young.
He was taught, and vigorously taught
that we must never refer to physical all
the height of vulgarity to speak of money
or of the cost of anything. But all that
has now been changed Money talk is as
common around the social board as it is
in Congress, and as for physical ailments
there is simply no line drawn anywhere.
Well, what else shall we talk about?
Conversation is necessarily confined to
the topics that interest us, to the things
that we understand and in this particular
year of grace, of progressvism, and of
reform we are interested in nothing and
we understand nothing but money and dis
ease. Charles Eliot Norton tells us that
toward the end of his life it became pos
sible TO collect half dozen or so per-
sons who could pass few hours in intelli-
gent conversation, and this was in Boston.
1t would be much more impossible now, if
there can be such a thing as degrees of
impossibility
Disease as a topic of conversation is due
first of all TO an increase in Individual
selfshness which in it's turn leads to a
coarsening of mental fiber. The conven-
tional question of 'How do you do?'
is no longer accepted as greeting of
courtesy. 1t is regarded as serious
pathological inquiry. and the lady to
whom it is addressed considers it neces-
sary to enter into minute and delicate rev.
elations that would bring qualms to the
stomach of a crocodile and a blush to the
cheeks of a satyr. And it must be ad-
mitted that in this respect it is women
who are the chief offenders. They seem
positively to revel in medical discussions
that would make man feel little bit
sick 1t is fairly safe to assume that two
women conversing in a street car are talk
ing about diseases, or that they will be
doing so the moment some chance word
gives the opportunity to begin. And so
we see another conventional theory in it's
death struggles. There was time when
the feminine mind was supposed to be one
of peculiar delicacy. There was a whole
category of subjects that must not be
mentioned before women. Now it is men
who feel certain apprehension of impro-
prietes and indelicacies as soon as women
begin to talk.
