dancer is standing erect squarely on
both feet, a distance of some twelve
inches separating them.
The forward glide consists of a
four-step dancing-walk forward in
open" position, the cavalier holding
his lady's left hand with his right; an |
about-face turn by the dancers in the |
direction of the partner, and four |
step dancing walk forward in the di- |
rection from which they come. If the |
about-face turn is neatly executed
(for this is perhaps the hardest part |
of the figure) there need be no con-
Germ over the remainder of the steps. |
The lady, on count "one," takes a
forward step on her right foot, stimuli
taneously placing the fingers of her
left hand (the palm DOWN in the
right hand of her partner. This step
is taken on the ball of the right foot,
the heel being raised from the floor
just enough to give certainty of foot
ing and impart grace and elasticity to
the bodily movement. The length OF
the stride forward should be from
fourteen to eighteen inches, accord
ing to the lady'S height.
On count two" the lady. brings
her left foot forward, swinging it just
clear of the floor and takes a second
step, considerably shorter than the
first. The right foot is again brought
into use on count three" also a
shorter step forward than that on
count "One," and then comes count
-four" on which the lady takes for
ward step on her left foot and exc
cutes an about face turn to her left
During the four forward steps the
lady and her cavalier still hold their
right and left arms behind them, the
hands clasped in the manner already
explained. AS each executes the
about-face turn they give a smart
twist to the arms, as means of as
sistance in maintaining their balance

Short Change Men
Draw Ninety Days

John Wilson and Frank Myers, both
of whom gave out-of-town addresses
when arrested, were in police court
charged with attempts to work a short
change game on one man, and charged
with having succeeded In working 1t on
a girl in the employ of the Karscch
Grocery company at 1920 VintOn street.
n. c. Laursen. manager OF Basket
Store DO. % at 1907 Vinton street, was
the first person the pair tried to operate
on, but. Laursen was wise. and they did
not succeed. Thereupon they crossed the
street, and after a little aimless wander
ing. entered the Karsch grocery store.
I.aursen watched them and followed a
little later, but not before Wilson had
worked his little game on Iva siegal, a
clerk in the grocery store, short-chang-
ing her $40.
In police court the two men professed
not to know each other. but the evidence
was strong against them, and they each
drew ninety days. Iva Siegal got her so
back and seems TO have learned how the
game works.

This Man Said He
Was Sick, So Judge
Sends Him to Jail

Henry Wall, who was arrested on a
charge of being drunk, told about the
hardest luck story in police court that
anyone has thought up for long while.
He would not admit that he had been
drunk, but said instead that he was suf-
fering from tuberculosis. Seeing that the
judge was not affected as much as he
might have been by that story, he also
announced that he had varicose veins,
and proceeded to roll up his trousers to
show how the disease had affected the
calves of his legs. Still the court was in
clined to believe that he had been drunk.
when he startled the onlookers by the
announcement that he was suffering from
heart failure and dropsy. Fearing that
he would soon break out with smallpox
or some other dangerous disease, the
judge quickly sentenced him TO thirty
days i'm the county hospital. suggesting
that during that time he could probably
get rid OF some of his troubles.
