dancing class, which at that time

He was a teacher OF the old school

Dancing Class.
After removing our coats from
over our party dresses and taxi
ing off our carriage boots from
our best slippers we would emerge
from the dressing rooms all spick
and span in lace frocks, with
either pink or blue sashes. We
stood upon the threshold of the
ball room until Mr.. Dodsworth
bowed to us. Then we made a
deep curtsey to him and entered
the room.
The girls were seated on one
side of the dance floor and the
boys on the other. When a boy
wished to ask a girl to dance
with him he went up to her and
bowed. She would arise, curt.
sey and place her arm lightly
upon his shoulders and then
would dance.
Overlooking the ball room was
a balcony, part of which was for
the nurses and part for the gov
ernesses. The piano was there,
too. Near the door were places
for the mothers. and in the
midst of these on a dais sat Mrs.

WIRE.TAPPING

Revelle charged that the state
ment in the plea that the evidence
was obtained by overlapping on
June % is untrue. as no evidence
was placed before the grand jury
Of alleged conversations between
olmsted and his patrons for that
date.
Attorney Finch in his statement
before making his arguments to the
court said that he could present n
dozen affidavits If they were
needed.
The outcome of the case is being
watched by all OF the 90 defendants
in the olmsted case with great in
terest as the entire indictment
would be invalidated by a decision
favorable to Finch.
Attorney l.. A. Chavelle, repre-.
senting four clients, has joined with
Finch in the abatement plea and
Attorney Griffin has filed a similar
plea in behalf OF Patrolman George
Reynolds, one OF the defendants.
