Dancers Jeweled Rapier
Is Gift of Shah Of Persia

There IL an interesting bit Of per-
sonal history connected with the jew
eled rapier which Mons. Emile de Re
cat wears in his dancing Of the min
net in the Cafe Frontenac. For this
dance, costumes OF the eighteenth
century are worn by Mons. de Recat
and his partner. and the wearing OF a
rapier Is necessary to give the cor
rect historical touch to the dance.
This particular weapon was given
Mons. de Recat a number of years
ago by Nasr-ed-Din, then Shah of Per-
STA. At that time, Mons. de Recat
was a lieutenant In the chasseurs OF
the French army, and was an entrant
In q fencing competition among army
Persia was q spectator and present
ed the gem-set rapier to Lieut.. de Re
cat as winner.
1T seemed 10 me that the shah had
the longest moustaches I had ever
seen on any man" laughingly remark.
ed Mons. de Recat In telling the story
OF the rapier. "But he was delight
full oriental and Paris was mad over
him. He gave rich presents right and
left. Now the old shah Is dead a long
time and his country Is torn and divid-
ed by the struggles Of the other pow
ers-and the napier Is an ornament
for dance"
Another. ornament which Mons. de
Recat prizes highly is the medal given
him by Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Of Austria. whose assassination pre-
cipitated the great European war AT
the time that the tango craze was
raging In Vienna, great contest was
held at which there were 200 couples
entered. Mons. de Recat and Lily Le'
nora. his dancing partner. reached the
city the day OF the contest and were
within few numbers of the last on
the list.
Naturally, the judges became rather
fatigued as they watched couple after
couple glide by In the rhythm OF the
Argentine dance. but they Weakened
UP when the French dancer and his
English partner came past them and
there was no division over the award
Of the prize to them. as well as the
title OF king and queen OF tango"
The presentation was made by the
archduke, who was notable figure
in the gay social life of Vienna, as
well as the strongest political power
In the empire.

soon as possible to avoid any possible
catastrophe.

This afternoon the commissioners
are holding another meeting to dis
cuss the Main street bridge question
Commissioner Roddridge this morning
declared that in his opinion the city
was responsible for the upkeep Of the
bridge but did not state the reasons
on which he based such an opinion.
Commissioner Anderson, on the other
hand, stated that if the bridge could
be repaired for a reasonable amount,
he would favor the county assuming
the expense. He stated that the coun-
ty kept bridges in other corporations
in repair.
One thing that is thoroughly realiz-
ed by the city and county officials is
that some definite decision to estab-
fish whether the county or city is re-
sponsible for the upkeep of the Main
street bridge is imperative.

IF the bridge should collapse killing
and injuring a number of people, the
city would be bankrupted in all prob
ability, if it was held to be responsible
for the maintenance of the structure,
