Like the sound of a grand amen.

Like the close of an angels psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
Like touch Of infinite calm.

Like love o'ercoming strife,

From our discordant life.

Into one perfect peace,

And entered into mine.

"CAN the tango be made DE-
CENT?" asked Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish, who doesn't believe il is de-
cent as danced today.
"Well, it can be DENATURED,
anyway" answered the highest
authority in America, Vernon
Castle, who, with Mrs. Castle, is
the undisputed originator of the
new society dances.
And forthwith Vernon Castle
invented the denatured tango, es-
pecially for Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish,
leader of New York's ultra-smart
set. He has just danced 1t before
an assembly of some eighty select
members of New York's Four
Hundred, who were guests at Mrs.
Fish's last big dinner-dance. They
were so pleased with it that they
promise. to make the denatured
tango THE society dance of the
season. Mrs. Fish herself named
the new dance the Innovation"

A search party was organized

Chamberlain can't account for
his wanderings himself. His

Puyallup, thinks an old injury to
his head may have brought on a
sudden irrational spell. Cham

After having been IL hours
missing, with his wife almost
frantic and the neighbors and po-
lice hunting for him high and
low, Frank Chamberlain, a blind
man of 40, residing at S14 North
State street, was found standing
in pool of awter under the con-

this morning.
He was discovered by Andrew
Nelson of North Steele street and
sent home, after he had given his
name and address. His face was
badly scratched and his clothes
torn. so 1t is thought he must have
fallen over the embankment and
down under the bridge.
