 duced her to "Mr Williams and he i'm mediately asked her to dance. He was splendid dancer and perfectly familiar with all the new dances. The young man was we'll and quietly dressed, his solid shoulders set off by fashionable black cutaway coat trimmed with broad braid, short in the tail and cut In front to show the waistcoat.
 "Mr. Williams" talked agreeably with a cultured English accent. He had thick curly hair and merry dark eye. He had been a soldier in the Boer War, just for the sake of adventure. you know, and a gold miner in California. His conversa- tion was delightfully."- entertaining Mrs. Pike mentioned that she was a grand daughter of J. Spencer Turner, once a noted cotton broker.
 YOh, yes," said "Mr. Williams" My people in Liverpool knew him. I remem- Der my father telling me about MT. Tur- ner's funny American stories after dinner.
 Sometimes we get bad impression of Americans from your ordinary tourists with their American flags and all that sort of beastly thing. Your grandfather was one of those delightfully."- cosmopoli- tan Americans who are the most charm ing people in the world"
 All the circumstances were calculated to disarm suspicion in Mrs. Pike's mind. "Mr. Williams had not even sought her acquaintance. She had delightful after noon, which ended all too soon, though the hour was late. When she said she was going home up Riverside Drive and he said he was going the same way, she naturally said she would be pleased to have him go with her.
 They rode in motor bus. On the way she dropped her purse and after fumbling with it clumsily for minute he returned it to her. When she returned home she found she had lost the key to her apart ment. She had another one made
 The meeting with MT. Williams" started pleasant friendship which lasted up to the time of the robbery The rest of the facts are we'll known to newspape- readers. Mrs Pike received telephone message from Eaton in which MT. Will iams' offered to return her jewels for $500, failing which he would create scandal. By arrangement with the police she met him and in a struggle "Mr. Will jams" was shot by detective.
 Investigation showed that he was young Englishman of respectable family named Herbert F. Eaton. He was earning fair salary in New York business house as a stenographer and had been led into evil ways by the extraordinary opportuni- ties offered by the tea rooms and the rest of the promiscuous topsy-turvy social life of New York.
 No sooner was the Pike case published than another of Eaton's victims made her.

avenue bus to accompany Mrs. Pike to her Riverside Drive apart ment it was for the purpose of
 securing her pass key.
 At lurch of the bus, as it
 swept around the corner of Sev-
 enty-second street, Eaton clumsily
 lost his grip on the strap, drove
 his knee heavily against Mrs. Pike's arm and knocked her pocket-
 book to the floor. With apologies for his awkwardness he busily set
 to work picking up the contents of the bag-but he slipped up his
 sleeve the latch key.
 When Eaton went forth from
 the Manhattan, Hotel and accom-
 panied Miss Kohn in her walk
 to her Madison avenue apartment it was wHn the intention of getting possession or her house key. Swinging his cane Jauntlly as they walked along, side by side. Eaton suddenly turned at a crossing Tn front of an automobile, stepped back half step and brought the handle of his cane down upon Miss Kohn's handbag. Cards coins and various things scattered about the pavement
 With quick eye Eaton spied the latch key. Letting his overcoat fall from his arm to cover the key, Eaton, with many apologies, assembled the contents of the bag and slipped the key into his oyercoat pocket.
 The unsuspected possession of the latch key was literally, the key to Eatons system. And the possession of the latch key had still another value. It gave Eaton a handle for blackmail. If his victim realized who had robbed her Eaton was able to silence her with the threat that he would declare that she had given the key to him and that he had been a welcome visitor at her apartment. Few women reiished the idea of having this assertion made to their husbands.
 Remarkable testimony to the demoraliza. tion caused by dancing teas" was given by MT. Jacques Bustanoby, part proprietor of noted New York resort where par ticularly alluring entertainments of this character were given. In asking for di- vorce from his attractive young wife MT. Bustanoby said that she had fallen under the influence of wicked man while fre- quenting various "hotel teas'' in company with an older woman.
 My wife was very young and very inno- cent Oh, yes, very innocent" said MT. Bustanoby. but they take her to teas and give her drinks and dance with her and she lose her head. I am yer busy and can do nuzzing.. forgive her once, and then they take her to those hotel teas again. It is one shame!"
 If the expert who provides this kind os entertainment thus testifes to it's dangers. can the ordinary man and woman have any doubt about them?

self known. This was Miss Marie A. Kohn, a Flrenchwoman of considerable wealth, who came to New York a few years ago. year before the Pike case Miss Kohn was robbed of $12,000 worth of jewels When she visited Eatons fiat, by invitation of the police, she found them all there.
 The story Miss Kohn told revealed an- other way in which a designing man might make the acquaintance of woman he didn't know. This is the pet dog meth cd of approach.
 Miss Kohn, went to the Hotel Manhattan, also one of the most fashionable and dig. nified hotels in the city, to have tea and listen to the music. As she entered she noticed a good-looking young man with a bright eye and curly hair. It was Eaton, but on this occasion he was travelling as MT. Mcdonald"
 Miss Kohn was carrying her prize pet toy Pomeranian, Baby" AS she passed the young man, he stopped and pattod Baby" with a friendly but not forward manner, as if he really couldn't help it.
 Pardon me- he said. q hope you don't mind my batting her. That is really the most perfect specimen of a Pom I have ever seen."
 An Introduction Through the Dog
 They went into the tea room together and the young man talked about dogs in the most convincing manner. He stood Baby" squarely on her feet and then said:
 "Oh! you quite too delicious little bow WOW! She has every point perfect from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail. You know, my mother took first prize for toy 'Poms four years in succession at the Swansea dog show, but she never had any, thing finer than this.
 My name is McDonald," he added.
 Miss Kohn, who has the exaggerated love of pet dogs that some women show, was naturally carried away by MT. Mo Donald's" charming dog talk. When she was going to leave he asked her which way and she said "No. 699 Madison ave nue." He got possession of her key by trick and induced her to wait for him while he pretended he was going into his hotel. When she went on to her apart ment she found she had been robbed.
 Eat0n's methods have come as a sur prising revelation to the police. A bur elar is usually confronted with the neces- sity of entering his victims house or apart ment by force. This is embarrassing, be- cause he must work late at night when he cannot be observed and it is bother some to carry plunder along the streets at such hours. But Eaton's system of always providing himself with latch key avoided these endorsements.
 When Eaton crowded into the Fifth

TN the criminal world, as in the indus
 trial and business world, new condi- ! tions of life give opportunities for new
 methods. The Tea Rooms.' the 'Cabarets" and the Dancing Tea" res- taurants have opened a new field for criminals. Proving like wolves around these places. the police estimate that 5000 criminals in New York are now mak- ing comfortable living.
 The now rather notorious case of Her. bert F. Eaton and his victim, Mrs. Arthur D. Pike, has shed a flood of light on the operations of these scoundrels. Other cases have shown that robbery is not the only harm to womankind that has followed the breaking down of old social restraints through the insidious influence of the tea room with it's accompaniments of music and dancing.
 .Tle unmasking if MT. Herbert F. Eaton --1hgfish gentleman, traveller, society man, dancer and burglar-has been fol- lowed by some very Illuminating revela' tions. The police are now able to under stand the steadily growing complaints of hitherto unexplainable robberies MT. Eaton is not alone in his peculiar, field of activity; the police records indicate that there are many others who are victimiz- ing the patrons of the tea dance restaur- ants in the same way.
 Eaton was not a thug. He had the manner and the personality of a man of breeding He was careful never to force his aSten. tions on prospective victim. It is be, lieved that he worked at times with yu-nE woman confederate and through her was able to be formally introduced to respectable patrons of the places he fre- quented. But Eaton's own adroitness and resourcefulness were often sufficient to se- cure an acquaintance with woman of wealth without the formality of an intro duction and yet without arousing suspi-

New Dangers for Thoughtless Women

Keen observers of life estimate that there are just as many men who frequent the tea rooms simply for the purpose of making the acquaintance of attractive women as for the sake of robbery. The intentions of these men may not be al- ways of the worst, but it is certain that on the whole they are social danger. A girl has no opportunity of judging the character of man whom she meets un- der such conditions, and too often she is not guarded by family and friends against the dangers of chance meetings.
 Mrs. Pikes experience illustrated only some of the dangers of this phase of city life-the ease with which the friendship of highly respectable woman could be cultivated under cover of the afternoon dance and the criminal acts 1t might lead to. Mrs. Pike. who is the wife of cotton broker and lives in handsome apart ment at No. GAO Riverside Drive, was shocked recently to find that her place had been robbed of $1,900 worth of jewels and quantity of valuable clothing. When she turned the matter over in her mind she was forced to admit that suspicion rested on a certain "Mr. Williams" a very attractive young man she had met at tea at the Hotel Astor, one of the most dignihed and fashionable hotels in the city.
 Mrs. Pike was listening to the strains
