II believe Helen Clarke is

What does it mean?
Miss Marbury smilingly as
sures all interviewers that she
has had no quarrel with Yer,
non and Irene Castle. Only
the Castle name has been re-
moved from her Office door,
and the name Of Helen Clarke
has been substituted.
Rumors Of a break have
been current during the win

It was said that the Castles.

fered from a similar ailment

They have been dancing in

she danced at amateur exhibf-
tions. Finally someone per-
suaded her last winter to enter
the amateur cup contests at
the Strand roof garden, an en-
terprise conducted by Miss
Marbury, Mrs. W. X. Wander
bilt and Miss Anne Morgan,
as a recreation resort for the
great army of well-bred resi-
dents of New York who could
not afford to go to the more
expensive restaurants and re-
sorts. At the Strand roof gar
den one cannot obtain alco-
holic drinks, and the menu
prices are exceedingly reason
able. So Miss Clarke's mother
permitted her to 60 to the
dances there.
The first cup contest she en-
tered was the New York Her.
AIDS Dolly Dip cup contest.
The Herald had been running
Dolly Dip cartoons for a year.
Miss Clarke won the cup, and
henceforth was known as the
Dolly Dip girl of the New York
Herald. Miss Marbury and
Mrs. Vanderbilt were delighted
with her. She was so young,
SO charming, 30 ingenious and
so graceful, that they invited
her time and again to come to
the Strand roof and dance. FL
nally Miss Marbury persuaded
her to accept a professional en-
gagement in Nobody Home"
and she has been dancing IN
that musical comedy for the
past two months.
Mr.. Tod, her dancing part
ner. was engaged by Miss Mar
bury because. being a slender
young chap and sxactly Me
height Of Miss Clarke. he made
an ideal dancing Communion
for her. He is an Englishman,
who came to America to act in
"Fanny's First Play" and re-
manned because Of the vogue
of the dance. In which he ID
unusually adept.

season.
You needn't wait until
then" Mr.. Dillingham; is said
to have replied. We will close
the season Saturday night"
And tn Castle engagement
was cut short fully a month
before anyone ever dreamed it
would close. At this writing
no one knows if Mr.. Dilling-
ham will manage the Castles
again or not.
Meanwhile Miss Marbury is
busy with her schemes for
Helen Clarke and Quentin Tod.
They are dancing now in Ray
Comstock's production of No
body Home" at the Princess
theater. and their dancing is
a furore every night. Miss
Marbury is interested flnan-
cially in Nobody Home" and
arranged with Mr.. Comstock
for her newest discoveries to
appear at the Princess theater.
which is the rendezvous of the
smartest New York society.
Since Helen Clarke and
Quentin Tod came under the
Marbury management they
have received dozens OF invita-
lions to dance privately at
Fifth ave. homes. But Miss
Marbury refuses to let them
become paid society dancers.
She insists that II society
wants to see them dance. so
ciety must go to the Princess
theater. And society has been
fiocking there for many weeks
past.
But who is Helen Clarke?

Sir Is It possible that not only we 70
furnish the Allies with unlimited munitions
of war; but in addition are 10 finance them,
without at least providing a market for the
cotton OF the South, or forcing the abroga-
ton Of the mischievous and illegal Orders IN
Council which prevent American merchants
from transacting their legitimate business?
That is the question which at this very
moment is confronting US. 1t would appear
that after an unlawful interference with our
commerce, which has vexed our government
and people almost beyond endurance, the En-
tente powers have placed themselves at the
mercy of the American people. Shall not
Justice temper our mercy9 Shall the wealth
of the North be poured into the Golfers OF
France and England, while our cotton re-
mains heaped up in our warehouses and the
entire South is clamorng for relief from an
insufferable situation Shall the great Amer
lean bankers lend their influence to the fota-
ton of this loan, while the American mer-
chants are beseeching our government to do
something definite in their behalf?
If the American banks and public take TINS
profrered loan il will only strengthen the
hands of England and France to maintain
their intolerable restrictions upon our COM
merce Are we going to play into their hands
In this manner? 1t would be the part OF
patriotism and good sense for our bankers
to say to these foreign commissioners, Re
peal your wanton Orders in Council; let our
cotton shipments alone; keep your hands on
our legitimate commerce. Then, If you want
our money we will loan it to you; but unit!
your governments do these things, not one
dollar can you have" | venture to say that
if these commissioners met this tone from
our bankers, a week would not elapse until a
decided alteration in the policy OF these
powers toward US would be manifested
II would seem to me that not in one tnou-
sand years has such an opportunity for doing
good been placed in the hands of a group of
men by the course of events, as is now fairly
within the grasp Of our great bankers. What
are they going to do with It? Shall patriotic
and righteous action be taken by them, or
shall their entire interest in the question be
sunk to the low level of percentage on the
dollar? ID. F. HALL

Consider the Horses.
tor Of the Tribune.

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir: viii you give few lines OF your
valuable space to reaching the owners and
drivers of horses in New York?
This morning at 8 o'clock, on Sixth Ave-
nue., faithful old horse, carrying a lot of
meat to the markets, could hardly stand. He
had been on the job since 3 o'clock this
morning and without food or possibly drink.
These trying hot days OF intense humidity
affect the horses more seriously than the
human beings and shorten their lives. II
the drivers and owners would only give them
pail Of water every hour or so they would
appreciate it. For economic reasons alone
the lives OF their horses would be prolonged,
as horses are more valuable than ever.
The slippery condition of our streets, made
so by the waste of gasolene and oil from
automobile traffic, makes il very difficult for
them TO get along in wet weather, and the
month Of September is the worst and most
trying for the horses owing to the horse
flies and deer flies. In the city stalls and
stables the heat must be fierce. Just think
a minute of the horses who are feeding the
entire city. DWIGHT BRAMAN.
