"Which of all the new dances that have
cropped Up during the summer will ti
danced generally enotiRh to make It worth
while for me to bo to somo trouble and
expense to learn them?"
One of the best dancing teachers In the
city was naked this question y one of
his fair pnlrohs a day or two ago.
"I nm not," she went on, "a very good
dancer lcally, you know. Not gooJ
enough for It not to be very hard for me
to pick up new steps. Last winter 1
ppent hours trying to get the Idea of the
'half and half,' only to find that Just ns
I was getting fairly proficient It luul
teased to be popular and all my work had
Rone for nothing
"Now, of nil these strange dnnces with
utranger names Lu Lu Fado, Ta-Tao, La
Kusse and the like wjileh shall I learn?"
"Well," replied the Instructor, "the best
answer I can give you Is that an long an
there seems to bo any question about
-which Is the one to learn, don't learn
any."
ADVISBS THE FOX TROT.
''In confidence," he added, "for I don't
want to spoil my own business, r think
that of the entire lot the only one wortit
while for the average dancer to learn Is
the Fox Trot. She will find that she
won't really have to learn that: It will
come so easily and naturally. And that
Is the real test of popularity.
"These periodic hysterical dashes nfter
new steps. Inespectlvo of their merits.
Is the most unfortunate phase of the
dancing crnze. All the dances you men
tioned arc beautiful when '!! done, but
the Idea of considering them as adapted
to a ballroom full of tlanccts Is absurd.
"The Tn Tno was never meant to bo
done any way but In Chinese costumi.
Then It It quaint and Interesting as a
novelty, otherwise It Is a burlesque. The
Lu Lu Fado Is no more extreme than the
Maxlxc, but how many people did you
ever see who could do the Maxlxe really
well? The same It true of La Russe.
They will probably all bo danced more
or lesq. hut the times when they will
really afford pleasure to either the per
formers or spectators will be very few
and far between.
NATURAL DANCES THE BEST.
"If theio never had been any dances
but the strango ones, as you call them,
wo would never have had this dancing
craze. It found Its Inspiration In the
one-step and the waltz-canter nnd other
natural, easy dances, which anybody can
do and do without thinking.
"As my final woul of advice never do
any dance that makes you conspicuous
or diaus undue attention to yourself, un
less ou are quite suro it Is because you
are dancing extraordinarily well, rather
tnan because you are attempting some
thing nobody else had the nervo to try."

printed cards giving instruction to moth
ers regarding care of their babies.
"We Intend to have a series of 12 card
to go In the frames. These will bo placed
In different climatic seasons In the .TOO
localities they nre Intended to serve. The
care of babies In hot or cold weather will
be thoroughly delineated as well as proper
clothing and food to bo given Infants."

J PANAMA REJECTS V, S. PLAN
Spruce street, west of Broad. In the
opinion of real estate men, will cling
to Its residential traditions for years to
come.
The Inroads made by business In Wal
nut street, where two dressmaking es
tablishments have located between Twen
tieth nnd 21st street, when It was con
fidently predicted only last year that tho
business fraternity would never pass Rlt
tenhouso Square are a sharp reminder
that little remains centrally that Is not
being rapidly taken up by the increase
of commercial need.
Up to date Spruce street Is a home and
dvclilng section, and while hero and thcro
business of higher class has found a foot
hold, It can still be said to be owned by
those desiring solid comfort nnd quiet.
Not more than a decade ago the char
acteristic of the street was the typical
red brick house, with white trimmings
and marble steps: some may yet be
found; love of things as they were,
rather than architectural development, Is
ytt to be found. Gradual change began
some years ago and fronts were taken
down and replaced to conform to mod
ern Ideas. Today the result Is more than
satisfactory.
Spruce street is kept In good repair.
When the deadly summer appearance of
hermetically sealed houses for blocks has
pased, the painters take possession.
Above Broad street In July, 1911. H10
Spruce street was sold by the estate of
I. W. Durham to S. M. Brooks, lot 20 by
149, for $55,000. It had been purchased iy
the sollor In May, 1905, for $62,000, and
more than $30,000 was spent upon It. Jan.
uary, 1911, U26 Spruce street was sold
for $53,000.
West of Fifteenth street there have been
no recent sales, and there are seveial
piopertles rather pressing for sale to set
tle estates. Theie hae been no tiansfi-rs
of special note until the 1900 block Is
reached. On December 11. 1911. ISM
Spruce street, a four-story dwelling wltl
lot 41 feet front and a depth of 1S7 feet to
Del.anrcy street, was sold by Henry T.
Fox to John N. Henry for $70,000. Theie
was n restriction that the back building
could not be extended. It was assessed
for $6l.0u0 for 1911. The Pennsylvania.
Trust Company as trustee sold, on July
, 1SH, 1913 Spruce street, lot HO by 104, to
Helen D. Plersol for $28,C0O.
Uetvveen 20th and 21st streets the
most recent sale was May 1. 1910. when
203G Spruce street, was sold by Mary C. S.
Fox to .Mary II. Kitchen for $Ai,000. Tho
lot is IS by 96.
West of 21t street several properties
are for sale, notably 2135 Spruce street,
occupied so long by the Cleetnan family.
Two attempts to sell at auction have not

FIREMAN ACCUSES TRACY,
PENROSE POLICE "JUDGE"

Intended Highway Robbery.
The timely nctlon of Hownrd Kennedy,
n foreman of Fire Engine Company No.
Si, prevented Stewart Dean, of West Con
shohocken, from being robbed of nearly
$160) this morning. Kennedy declared,
however, that he received no satisfaction
from the police, and was not allowed to

n Petirose-McNIchol follower of the 10th
Ward.
While standing at Eighth and Arch
s-trctE, the fireman hoard three rough
looking men planning to rob Dean, who

tended victim In a corner. He had no
Idea of his whereabouts.
Before tho fireman could -warn tho man,
tho three strangers entered. Kennedy
telephoned the police of tho Eleventh nnd
"Winter streets stntlon. The would-bo
thieves became suspicious and dlsap
peaicd. A few minutes later Policeman
Kelly arrived and took the man to tho
stntlon house. He was charged witn
Intoxication.
Kennedy followed and endeavored to
give a description of the three men to
the police and tho Magistrate, but ho
was not permitted to testify.
The prisoner said ho came here on Mon
day for a trip. Tho police found $1561 In
his pockets. Policeman Kelly put Dean

Houe of Detention today and wants to
bo sent to the Glen Mills Reform School
so that he may get oft the streets and
oLtnln an education. Tho boy has lost
al' trace of his parents and has given

boy gave his name ns James Pntlon to
the police of the Germantown station.
Mmntctt Policeman Richardson found
tho child about to enter a stable at
Wayne avenue nntl Logan street, last
nlfcht. Ho learned that tho boy had no
home nnd look him to the station house.
For the first time In months the boy
had a clean bed to sleep In last night.
This morning tho Idea of returning to
hl. old life on the streets was so re
pugnant to him that when he was ar
raigned before Magistrate Pcnnock, he
said:
"Judge, I want you to send me to Glen
Mills. I can go to school there and
learn a trade."
Magistrate Fennock explained to the
lad that he did not have the necessary
Jurisdiction to send him to Glen Mills,
and accordingly sent him to the House
of Detention for 30 days. In the mean
time application will be made to the
courts for the boy's admission to the
Glen Mills schools)

en's New Fall Overooaits
to a few years ago there was aboot as nmuicfo
iodividimality in American men's overcoats as there is in
a wagonioad of bricks.
Off the "styles" that were supposed to be the best
that conuld be produced, none remain, ootside off a ragshop
except the kind that will always remain, that is to say,
the standard, conservatively cut bJack and oxfford coats.
These remain on their merits. They will always be in
demand by men off the solid, substantial type, without
whom the world could not get afong.
But styles off ffancy overcoats have changed radically
and there was never such a change ffor the better.
Men only needed to be shown the newer and better
js to discard the old ones. The newer and better
styles were English styles and styles inffluenced by the
This Men's Clothing Store it was that introduced
them.
American makers have since learned to
-to diversify them to improve on them.
The New Fall Overcoate
now on display are a fine achievement in everything that
goes to make graceful and harmonious fashions on top
of old-time reliability off making and woolens.
Noticeable new features are the showing of jauntily
cut garments in lively designs and homespun effects, to
which a touch of grace and balance has been given by a
velvet collar. By the way, collars, generally speaking,
are broader this year than last, and very new also is the
unusual showing of rather pronounced tartan designs.
vogue of cuffed sleeves continues, hut thtr i
e choice of other sleeves for those who want them
The best showing in fancies is at $15, $88, $20, $22 SO
and $25,
The bfaek and oxford coats go from $115 to $30.
