At her knee stood q small boy. his
bright eyes revealing the love of his

Suddenly she reused herself; she
had been dreaming. She was not pre-

outside in the darkness. Denny
Brown had asked her to marry him
and she had promised her answer to-
night.
They had been running swiftly,
smoothly through the exhilarating air
Of the suburbs in Denny's car. Sud

answer was not ready. She heard the
click Of the telephone receiver in the
hall. A mans voice-not Denny's-
called Woodstock, N. H., on the long
distance.
1t was Phil Berkley-the other man!
She was waiting in his bungalow-to-

Says Tango + a Temperance Dance.

That is the verdict OF many close
observers OF the dance.
Those Interested in dancing from
a professional viewpoint, declare that

steps Of the tango and its allied
"wiggles" have squirmed out upon
the middle OF the dancing floor. So

Dramatic Critic Pans Evelyn Thaw.

Dramatic Critic Pans Evelyn Thaw.
Impelled by that sort of curiosity
which is twin sister TO morbidity. a
throng of otherwise sane and per-
spicacioas playgoers packed them
selves into the Cort Theater until
the building bulged- What drew
them there was the widely heralded
fact that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw would
disclose herself to their gaze, SAYS
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Apparently it didn't matter wheth-
er she was to do anything of artis-
tic worth, or whether. indeed. she
was capable of doing anything more
than merely show herself. The fact
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. former
wife of Harry Thaw and the central
figure some years ago of a partieu-
larly sordid and vulgar tragedy. was
10 appear was enough. The building
was damned. The people were going
to get a look at her.
Surely they did not imagine that
there was any other reason for Mrs.
Tbaw's name being in the electric
lights than the simple one of her no
toriety. Not by the widest flight of
ing talent to Justify being starred"
unless, indeed she we're of a type phe
nomenally endowed to burst into
greatness without preparation. Moth.
ing in her career could justify the
suspicion that the fire of the thespic
gods was hers. She was once the wife
of Harry Thaw. That was all, and
that was enough.
Accordingly, these patrons who
filled the theater to the overflow
point got precisely and exactly what
they deserved. They went from NOR
bid curiosity and they received in
payment for their money, as far as
Mrs. Thaw was concerned, an "en-
tertainment'' flat, stale and unprof-
table, with but one thing to com-
mend tit was over earlier than IL
usual.
With a young man named Jack
Clifford as partner she presented

No More .'Grog" for Naval Officers.

No More "Grog" for Naval Officers.
Absolute prohibition will prevail
in the United States Navy after JUL
LIST next. Secretary Daniels has made
public an order. which not only will
abolish the traditional wine mess
of the officers, but will bar all alco-
holic liquors from every ship and
shore station of the Navy.
This order, constituting one of the
most notable victories ever won BY
the prohibition forces was issued up
on the recommendation of Surgeon
General Braisted. Ii follows:
THE use or introduction for drink
ing purposes of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel. or within any
navy yard or station is prohibited,
and commanding officers will be held
directly responsible for the enforce
ment of this order"
In a statement issued Secretary
Daniels said
Il am in hearty agreement with
the views expressed by the Surgeon
General in his paper accompanying
the recommendation. There should
not be on shipboard. with reference
to intoxicants. one rule for Officers
and another and a different rule for
the enlisted personnel. The saddest
hour in my official life is when an
officer or enlisted nan must be pun
ished for intoxication. During the
last week 1t has beer my painful du
ty TO approve a court-martial for dis
missal of an officer for intoxication.
Intoxicating drink until he did so in
the wine mess on his cruiser. 9th.
ers who have been disciplined for
drinking to excess have made SINH
lar statements to me.
Officers are now commissioned n
the early age of 22 years. Has the
Government a right TO permit this
temptation. which too often destroys
the highest usefulness of young offic.
ers? ! think not. If there Is n pro
fession more than any other that
calls for a clear head and a steady
hand 1t is the naval profession. Elk
perience has shown the wisdom of
having no intoxicants on u ships
for the young men who enlist.
Il believe experience has demon
strated that a uniform rule should
prevail in the nevy for all who enlist
in the service. from the highest rank
to the youngest enlisted man or Off
Ger who comes into the service. and
that the abolition of the wine mess
will be justified"
THE prohibition of alcohol to the
men has rendered alcoholism among
them almost a negligible quantity,
Surely the officers should be in all
respects models for the enlisted man
in duty, habits and department. and
the example of officers drinking
aboard ship, as fostered by the wine
mess. and the court-mar.
