WHAT WILL BE
NEXT NOVELTY
In FEMINITY?
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Aug. 14-The one-time
new woman" is now gentle old
grand and what was once the
modern girl" is becoming matronly
and sedate in appearance. AS result
London dramatic -critics are asking
what the next novelty in feminity will
be.
The. question has been raised in con-
nection with revival of Ibsen's Pill
lars of Society,"" the play which Gre
ated a sensation half a century ago,
chiefly because the heroine was new
woman" with short hair and a passion
for exposing hypocrisy and deforming
everybody in sight.
One critic says that profane and bib
ulous heroines are already striking the
theatre-going public as rather dull
and threadbare as modern play goers
are all equipped with 'shock absorb
ers."
America heads the list of pleasure
flying passengers, while Germans are
making the greatest business use of
the air, said an official of the i'm
perial airways at Croydon. American
visitors, he said, outnufnber all other
flying passengers and more and more
of them, in going from London to Paris
are deserting the earth for air.
SO far as Britain was concerned the
official said it was an encouraging
sign to see the increase in the number
of business men making use of the air.

England is to have new designs on
her silver coins. Several well-known
artists have been commissioned to de-
sign new set of reverses for them.
The designs are being considered by
the advisory committee for coins, med
ais and seals, before final submission
to the cabinet.
An official said the question of al
tering the designs has arisen because
we are anxious that the coinage shall
be representative of present day artis-
tic taste. There have been criticisms

HOW TO DETECT REAL LINEN

/ In this day of cleverly executed
substitutes for real linen, even to the
/ imposition of the fine gloss which is
| characteristic of fine linen damask,
there is one infallible test by which
real linen may be detected from other
fabrics. In order to be certain of
your cloth, remove thread from the
fabric, hold one end upright, wet it
and tauten with the fingers. AS it
dries you may know it is linen if it
revolyes anti clockwise. You may
know it is not linen if the thread re-
wolves clockWise. Another test may
be made by putting few drops of
water on the cloth. If it soaks through
quickly, it is linen.

MAKES APPEAL
FOR FOSTERING
OF GOOD WILL
FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF
REAL ESTATE BOARDS IN
AUGuRATEs MOVEMENT
TOWARD PROGRESS

ORLANDO, Fla, Aug. 16.-An
appeal to the newspapers of the
southeast and to the banks, cham
bers of commerce and real estate
boards in the same district was
made today by the Florida Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards, to
aid Florida in the fostering Of
good win among the states and of
operating as unit instead of as
separate states.
The appeal was sanction of
the plan outlined by the Miami
Herald in an editorial entitled
"a Unit" which appeared in its
issue of July 6 last, and in which
it was said that it was time to
cease "hostilities" between news
papers and other states on Florida
and get down to a working plan of
cooperation for the advancement
of the states of the southeast.
Copies of the editorial wers
sent with the appeal with the per-
mission of the Miami Herald.
Some 500 copies were mailed out
to papers and other organizations
in Georgia, Alabama. North Caro-
lima and Sonh Carolina.
Association officials, in sending
out the appeal and the editorial,
which they commend highly. say
that they were moved to do so
through the desire to bring about
a better feeling between Florida
and her Immediate states.

Origin Of fhe Charleston Dance
AS Told by Telegraph Reader
q. H. CHEATHAM)

Having heard and read so
much of the Charleston dance,
I was very anxious to see it.
I spent Christmas in Tulsa
and avied to see everything
but this dance, as it had slip
ped my memory. | was at a
vaudeville one evening and af-
ter the show it was announc-
ed there was a local prize con
test was on for several couples
for the best Charleston dan
GERS. With expectancy | braced
myself to see this wonderful
and widely advertised dance,
The couples danced one at a
time and came out in different
ways, but the first one came
singly from opposite sides of
the stage and when they met,
seized ore another, waltzed
a round or two, threw one
another apart and danced sep
arately- The lady naturally
caught my eye and especially
in this case, as she was in the
air part of the time.
watched her for thirty sec
onds or more and thought !
knew the dance when she was
on the floor, but when she got
up in the air I'd lose a link.
My eyes then went to the
man and | hadn't watched
him more than a minute befor5
| recognized an old-time negi {

than sixty years Ole.

above referred to and it is In

eral commanding the U. S.
Army; The General is sorry
to be informed that the fool
ish and wicked practice ef

in the American Army, is
growing into fashion. He hope
the officers will by example, as
well as influence, endeavor to
check it, and that both they
q d the men will reflect that
we can have little hope of the
blessings of Heaven on our
arms if We insult it by our
impiety and folly. Added to
this, it is a vice so mean and
low, without any temptation,
that every man Of sense and
characte~ detes8 and despises
it. (Signed George Washing

Washington never has been

and deceiver and if he was
profane and then issued an
order like this ard denounced
this bad and wicked habit of

Gance, and if they continue
this knee shake | don't see
anything amiss in adding
Come to me, honey" for they
will soon wear out, one. be-
coming an eyesore and the 9TH
or an earwig.
Some. may try to refute this
version of the origin of this
dance, but my parents were
shareholders and / was raised
in a yard full of negroes and
attended their dances as
spectator, for it was a treat to
see them dance in their care
less, primitive way.
| knew all their dances, al
so their idiosyncracies, vices
and religious fanaticism. Su-
perstition was a feature of
their religion and ghosts, which
they called "hants," were their
trademark.
Some white man may have
introduced this G'ance to the
Charleston ball room, but the
negro originated it.
For awhile | was at q loss
to know whether this was
Charleston, w. Va, or Char
lesion, S. c., but suppose it
was South Carolina, as these
South Carolineans are good at
starting things. They started
this moonshine rice diet, the
Civil war, now this dance, and
they might have had a hand in
starting st. Augustine, but
they let Tennessee beat them
20 the anti-Evolutionary theo-
ory.
The negro, as an inferior
race, copies the whites, but
this is one instanc. in which
We have known The whites 70
copy after the negro.
One reason this dance is pop
ular is because it is full OF pep
and strictly a go-getter, add
the major part of youth likes
pep-It takes that to cut the
pigeon wing, buck scrape and
other dances which take tight
ming like movements 70 get
there. And then it is gooJ for
} the drones, as they won't eXsr-
else any other way-So | say
ON with that dance.
