"HE class will now gather round
and consider quietly, without
comment, the case of the ex-
4 ira event at Bowie For
the other night Leo, the Heigh-Ho
Clubs headwaiter, struggled up the
stairs to his post, weary, but still
exuoerant of spirit, and the story
came out . And if you now hear
any one call Leo "Seabiscuit, jr.,"
YOU will know the why and where
for Leo having fully broken
down and divulged the reason for his
WEAKNESS . Seems Leo went to
Bowie and there met a famed race
horse owner who shall remain
nameless, if he's worrying and it
seems also there was something of a
party at the clubhouse So during
the party Leo and the hoss owner,
disgruntled lads, decided they could
run faster than some of the nags they
had bet on :. got to arguing about it
and the upshot was there was an
added event at Bowie after the last
race ;. Leo and the other chap run
ming like mad things around the
track Leo lost . but he's still
maintaining he probably was sponged
Or something :.
The Argentines had their night
last night at the Raleigh's Pail Mall
Room -. and what party it was A
whole raft of folk from the Argentine
Embassy were on hand and there
were more tangos and rhumbas tan
coed and rhumbaed than you could
shake stick at 5. Isabel Gest, lately
divorced from Mr.. Gest, was there,
and tripped a merry rhumba with
Chester Snow, who prides himself on
his rhumbaS and rightly so So
was Patsy Brewer, learning some of
the more intricate segments of the
tango from Eddie Pierce, who's half
OF the dance team, Roland and Pierce,
whose neat dances are featured at
the Pail Mall room .. And the hand
some F9annery girls. Virginia, Fon-
taine and Ann Dudley. popular debs

look at Sonny Kendis' lads all done
W 'AA SooIiio style ana gay
time was had by all and you are
heartily recommended right now to
next Wednesdays Viennese night,
when the waltz will replace last night S
trhumbaS and tangos -.
Today's correspondence by tele-
graph:
{ Heard that you have entered tango
contest at the Pail Mall room. That
should be very funny. incidentally,
can't decide who dances worse, you or
kendls.-Barnee"
Dear Barnee: Sonny Kendis will
have to defend himself, but the last
time we saw certain behemoth of
the big apple drag his feet onto a
dance floor it looked like a couple of
tugs maneuvering the Queen Mary.
