New York, Feb. 26.-The main in terest in the entertainment provided by Helen Moller and her dancing pu- pills at the Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon had to do. not with Miss Moller's appreciation of the Crock ideal in dancing, but with the morci prosaic query, had she or hadn' t she Anything on?
 Miss Mollcr might argue that this item has nothing to do with the ease and that her work must be conSid cred from the viewpoint of art alone. Anyhow, the query loomed big all afternoon and attained it's climax in tho Nalsc Lentc number in which those who ought to know such mat - ters claimed she hadn't. This claim was supported by hiSSeS indicating the presence of some in the big audi ence whose ideas of the Greek prtc- ticc differed from Mill MolIcr'S.

 Miss Moller's interpretation may suit her, but they can't hide the fact that as a dancer, she is ungracefui and oftentimes awkward.

 Women in Court.
 In the court room this morning Mrs. Nady Louce and Mrs. Luigua F'racassa. were charged with the breach of the peace. Mrs. Louce claimed that the other woman called her names and used a broom in as saulting her. Mrs. Fracassa retaliated by saying the same about her neigh hor only that large stick was used. There has been trouble for some time between these two families and then the judge said that if the two families can not agree one or the other should find another tenement, Judgc GrisWold imposed a fine of $10 and costs upon the two women but withdrew the fine and both paid the costs which amount to $6.75. The women were then told that if they appear in court for any further trouble they would not get off so light. It was then that husband said he could pay the fine and costs if it amounted up to $100. H. was prompt ly told that if he had so much money to throw away on matters of this sort he should invest some in Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stamps and be of some help to his country.
