were danced properly we would
not suffer So much morally as
some people seem to think we do.
l emphasize the word properly,
for what is called the tango is
danced a great many ways, all
the way from a bear dance to the
Salone. The trouble with a great
many tango dancers is that they
move their bodies too much. That
is not right. To me 1t looks silly.
The waltz and the two-step are
good enough for me. and l believe
no person with any dignity should
sacrifice them for the tango. The
fact that the tango and booze
are SO closely associated don't
speak very we'll for the dance.

What right has the state to

What becomes of the money

To the Editor:
notice an article in The Times

die the Money" This may be all
right In some cases and all wrong
in others. l know a case where

EXPERIENCE.
One Wife's Advice
To the Editor:
! would like to say a few words
to the party that says: Let the
Wives Handle the Money" Yes, Il
think every wife should be given
q weekly allowance according to
her husbands salary; but when
it comes to the point where she
is compelled to hand out 25 cents
at time because that husband is
not capable of handling his
money, do you think he is worthy
of good wife? Have you any idea
how small you may some day APP
pear in your wife's estimation?
She may have little children to
consider; or it may be poor
health. Be careful, she may wake
up some day. Just think how
humiliating 1t is to an intelligent
woman not to be able to look up
to her husband. I, for one, serv-
ed 20 years with just such a man.
He gave me the principal part
of his salary. He also gave me
a list of his debts, and when Il
started to pay them it was Just
like peddiing fish, only l did not
have to blow a horn.
AS I said before, / served 20
years, but when my sons educa-
tion was completed and able to
earn a salary, 1 let that husband
that looked like a man manage
his own affairs I would not re-
sumo such nerve-racking re-
sponsibility again for a man that
had a salary of thousands of dol

DEPUTY ARRESTED
SERVING WARRANT
Wilson Made So Much Noise
Performing Duty Policeman
Locked Him Up.

William j. Wilson, forty-one years
old, of SO Madison avenue, a deputy
sheriff. was arrested in Prince street,
last night by Patrolman Burnett, of
the Fourth precinct, as Wilson was
in the act OF serving a warrant on
Jacob Bah, an agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine Company. Wilson
was arraigned before Acting Judge
Yuill in the Fourth Precinct Police
Court today and was held for an ex-
animation tomorrow, when a charge
of being under the infiunce of liquor
will probably be made against him.
Mrs. Minnie Schmidt, of 1886 Thir-
tenth avenue, appeared before Mr..
Yuill, yesterday to make a charge
against Bah, who lives at 159 Prince
street.
Mrs. Schmidt said that while she
was absent from her home Saturday,
Bah had forcibly entered her house
and taken the sewing machine away,
on which she admits she was delin-
quent in her payments.
Three pawn tickets, check book
and $40 in cash that we're in the
drawers of the sewing machine were
also missing, Mrs. Schmidt said.
Mr.. Yuill asked Mrs. Schmidt to
wait while he sent for Bah to explain
matters. This Mrs. Schmidt did not
do. She left the court room, and
went to the office of Henry B. Tower,
Justice of the peace, and swore out
a warrant for breaking, entering and
stealing against Bah.
The warrant was given to Wilson
to serve, and the commotion he
created while at Babs home attracted
Patrolmans Burnett's attention.
