!, Lubowska, see no beauty In the
dance OF to-day. But rather, In the
dance OF tomorrow.
To-day's dance converts the dancer
into a hoop. Faugh! The circle is
commonplace. It is ordinaire, as the
human with the big stomach, or the
big barrel of the dreadful beer. Or
the stuffed pillow or the smoking
chimney. Those things which /
abominate are OF the circle.

- wards originality. 'Lub-
owska the Wonderful" won
her title by disdaining the mod
ern dance and learning grace
from the mummy. The Orient
enslaved her fancy, but not the
Orient of to-day. The misty
Orient of the dim, forgotten
dawn Of the world cast the
spell of it's romance about her.
Finding Joy in research she delved
into the Libraries of Egypt ana
learned there how Cleopatra had en-
chained the senses of Antony.

chantress of the Nile? No. Cleopatra
won Antony by her angles. She sub

straight line. For. at the time Of that
Tivid romance, whose gorgeous colors
are still reflected upon world OF
paler tints, the curve was not the &C
cepted hne of beauty. loneliness
was typifed and accentuated by the
straight line.
Mile. Lubowska is the last OF the
Russian dancers to bring methods of
grace and beauty development to
this country. She advocates the
basic exercises for health and
strength that are generally accepted,
but supplements these with the pos
lures and dances of the daughters
OF the Paroahs. Mile. Lubowska
has, as It were, exhumei an ancient
beauty method, for she has learned
the secrets of the graces Of the
mummies. She has revived a dance
which was done even before the
Paroahs and which continued
through the earlier part Of that dyn-
asty Of Egypt.
The world war has driven the
dancer, a widow at twenty-five, to
this country. Society has made her
the fashion. Her popularity indicates
the possibility of the passing OF the
curve and the entrance OF the
straight line as the basis OF dance

O'Sullivan, Princeton graduate, who was appointed to position on the official staff of Joseph P. Humility, the secretary to the Pres ddent a few months ago.
 Mr. Tumulty got a telegram We'd nesday night from MT. O'S1llivan to meet him at the Union station here {. on the arrival of a. certain train. MT. Tumulty was there and greeted MT. O'Su1ltvan as he stepped from par 1 Tor car. With MT. O'Su1Iivan was handsome young lady.

 And the bride had her first expert enoe of riding in motor car decor ated with the crest of the Presi dent 1 of the United States. Mrs O'SuA5yan is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Jasper Lynch of Lake wood, who are said to be wealthy.
 She met MT. O'Su11ivan two years ago, 1 when he was an undergraduate at Princeton It was case of love at first sight But MT. and Mrs Lynch did not look with favor on
 
 married, according to the way the l story was told This was made I known plainly to MT. O'Sul1ivan, and he and Miss Lynch did not see each l other at her home They kept up a correspondence, however, and made preparations for starting housekeep- | ing. Each began to save for the fu- | ture-
 l On Monday, Miss Lynch, who was
 soon to be Mrs. O'Sullivan, got per
 mission to pay extended visit to | friends in New York. When she took Ia trunk along it excited no suspicion.
 From New York she te1egraphed MT. l OsSuHivan, and he went to New York i on the first train available. The l marriage took place oh Tuesday af-
 ternoon at the Church Of the Blessed | Sacrament, Broadway and Seventy

BELGIUM ORDERS
 20 LOCOMO HIVES FROM FIRM HERE

New York, June 18-4&n varpounce-
 nent here that the American .E4cooIno-I tive Company had received orders from the Belgian state railroads for 20 locomotives caused specuLation to-. day as to the purpose for which this equipment is intended. 1t was point ed out that the Belgian railroads are, almost wt1 oily in possession of the Germans, and suggested that the Io- com ottves might, be intended for use in England, France or Rassia., and that the order may have been pIacedl in the name of the Belgian railroads by a representative of the allies
 The American Locomotive Company officials gave no information on that point The engines are to be de- hvered to purchasers in New York.

ENGLAND URGED
 TO SUPPLY OWN
 WAR MUNITIONS

London, June 1S-David Lloyd George minister of munitions, is urg- ed by the Post in an editorial, to make every effort to place the rnuni- tions industry on a. basis whereby England supply all her own needs in war material.
 eff the profits of our manufactur- CTS are too high in some cases,'' says the Post, that can be rectif1ed but at the worst it is not so grave an evil as the sending of orders to neutral countries when by so doing we send money out of our own country and reap none of the benefits. Profits which English manufacturers and workers make will be spent among Englishmen while profits Americans make are altogether lost to this coun- try. We should encourage our man ufacturers by offering them long con tracts onf reasonable terms. As to the length of the war it is unsafe to estimate the end as less than two or three years from now

FRENCH MINISTER
 DOES NOT LIKE
 NOTES FROM US.

Paris, June 18.-Gabrie1 Hanotaux, former minister of foreign affairs has written for the Figaro an article re- garding President Wilson and the worlds opinion of him.
 We should be lacking in frankness to a great sister republic says M. Hanotaux, eff we permitted it to be thought there that the notes, parttc- ularly affectionate and friendly in tone, addressed to Germany after such mtsdeeds had not caused 8, certain amount of surprising influence.
 America is the most important of the neutral powers and other neutra1s look to her to take the lead in a con- cert of protestation. If President Will son is thinking of the time when he can present himself as a mediator and if 1t is his object for that reason to re- tain the confidence of both sides, he is turning his back on what he seeks.
 "The future arbiter of peace will be the man or government who firmly upholds all the time the cause of con science, of humanity, of plfghted word briefly, of international honor. Pres fdent Wilson has understood this; if it were otherwise he would lose a unique opportunity to place both him self and his country on a pinnacle in history

TO SHIFT
 DANISH REGISTRY
 / OF SHIPS UPHELD

New York, June 18-R. G. Wagner, president of the American Trans-At- 1antic company, whose application for American registry for a number of so- called Danish freight steamships has been refused by Eugene T. Chamber lains United States commissioner of navigation, said in a statement made public today that his request had been made in good faith and that ali the stockholders of the company are Americans. He explained his efforts to obtain Americen registry for the vessels by saying that while in Den mark last January he saw the oppor- tuhity to obtain an interest in the ownership of several vessels and was informed by the American consul that there would be no difficulty in trans ferrfng\ them to American registry
 Returning to the United States he incorporated the American Trans-At- 1antic company. MT. wagner said he alid all the facts before the naviga- ton commissioner at Washington, as- sured the commissioner that all the vessels always had been under neu- traI flags and gave him a guarantee that the ships would not be used, in any way to embarrass the United States government.
