stage which do not Immediately
become apparent to the average

closed, the efninenta educator ad.
vised one and all to stay for the
Merediths' performance. He him
self, he suggested, would sit In
the audience and with others
comment and criticise the poise
Of the foot, the graceful disposi-
ton of the hand and the rhynlth

a box seat, made startling re-
marks about the young and
graceful steppers.

very nice Of him." snapped the
dear old lady to her escort.

shouldn't stand for such nom
sense. I'm going to speak to
Mr.. Robbins about It."
