foregone their daily stroll on F street
to view their Rodolph in person. The
sheik arrived from Baltimore to fill
an engagement tonight at Wardnian N
Park Hotel, where he will give a
number Of his famous dances to pick
the best girl dancer and the most
beautiful woman at the hotel.
That Rodolph continues to be the
hero Of the local fair sex was evil
denced in the disclosure that a num-

to advertise the affair tonight mys-
teriously disappeared. later to be
