It appear Mr.. Walsh had accepted as
correct an estimate of 10000 men and
women out of work in New York City.
The telegram says in part:
The facts are that newspapers car

employed in New York City. This was
followed by a second story to the effect
that the municipal lodging houses were

Capital Goes Dance Mad
CASTLES SHOW NEW CREA TIONSI
Called "Half and Half"
THE HALF-AND-HALF." "

Here is how Vernon Castle. tho
originator, describes 1t:
The haIf-and-half is really
fve-step. The most peculiar
thing about il is the time. In
dancing it the count is one-two-
three, one-two. A long step, like
a waltz step. is followed by two
short steps. such as are used in
dancing the two-step. The dance
is really not at all difficult. once
the dancers get the music in
their heads. 1t is different from
any other music ever used in a
dance hall.
The time used has been en-
pIoyed in operas. II is written
ive-four. with three-five two
FIVE. and two-four placed after in
parenthesis. It really necessi-
tates the dropping OF a step in
each measure. But il is exceed
ingly simple after one catches
the knaCk.
