advice 10 offer:
"T'n tell you how 70 be sure

he left. When they write In
or your course, send them the
essons for the right foot and
lOn't give them those for the
eft until their money comes in"
Mr.. Murray, even when
pressed for an honest answer,
will shake his read regretfully
and concede that never has a
president of these United States
been a pupil OF the dance gal
liant.
But he will point out quickly
that most jealous among his
students was President Manuel
QueZon OF the Philippines, who
had as many as four Arthur
Murray teachers for every les
son.
Murray confesses that he
never was able 20 persuade the
late o. o. Mcintyre 10 try few
lessons, but the Duke OF Wind
sor, when he was Prince OF
Wales, was given several lessons
in the Charleston during his visit
to America. Paul Whiteman was
an unsolicited pupil but gave it
up after a few weeks as too
strenuous.

Doesn't Hate Publicity

I have never learned TO dance
by the Arthur Murray methods
and, as a matter of fact, the last
time I danced in public with a
woman in my arms, who no
doubt was my wife, was on the
occasion OF my last raise in pay
too many years ago TO be any
thing but a vague memory.
Nevertheless, I have known
Mr.. Murray and his mission in
life for many years and he is not
exaggerating when he admits
modestly that through the por-
tails of the studios which are To-
Gated In New York and Holly
wood and Miami and places
north, east, west and south, pass
some OF the portliest and slim
NEST and prettiest and also
hemeliest males and females of
