FAMOUS DANCER OUTLINES
FIFTH FIGURE OF ONE-STEP
This article is the fifth of an illiutratcd series on Anna Favlowa's Xew
Social-Dances and JIow to Perform Thcvu tchtch is to appear on Tucsdav
and Thursdajs exclusively in. this newspaper. These articles have lecn tcrit
ten hv Mile. I'avlowa, who, as premiere hallerina assoluta of tho St. Petersburg
Imperial Opera, is evenwhere recognised as not onlv the greatest living
dancer, but the greatest living authority on the art of dancing. The pho
tographs icere posed for by Mile. Pavlowa and her partner, Ivan Clustine,
maitre de ballet at the Imperial Opera Houses In Bt. Petersburg and Moscow
and at the Paris Grand Opera, regarded as Europe's foremost masculine
social-dancer.
By ANNA PAVLOWA
ARTICLE V.
Tho forward-glide, the fifth figure of
my standardized one-step, offers another
variation which not only mnke.s the entire
dance vlsunlly more artistic, but affords
an agreeable change for the dancers.
This figure comes Immediately after the
crossover cliasse.
Each dancer begins the forward-glide
on tho one count, following the 12 counts
which have been consumed in executing
tho crossover chasse, At Its completion
the cavnller Is on the loft of his lady and
each dancer Is standing erect squarely
on both feet, a distance of some 12 Inches
separating them.
The forward-glide consists of a four
step dancing walk, forward In "open"
position, the cavnller holding his lady's
left hand with his right, an about-face
turn by the dancers In tho direction of
the partner, and a four-step dancing walk
forward In tho direction from which they
come. If the about-face turn is neatly
executed (for this Is perhaps the hardest
part ofthe figure) there need be no con
cern over the remainder of the steps.
I would llkr to Illustrate the steps by
a simple diagram, which Is appended:

ward step on her right foot, simultan
eously placing tho lingers of her left
hnnd (the palm down) In the right Viand
of her partner. This step Is taken on the
ball of the right foot, the heel being raised
from the floor Just enough to give cer
tainty of footing and impart grace and
elasticity to the bodily movement. The
length of the stride forward should be
from 14 to IS Inches, according to the
lady's 'nelght, It being necessary to adapt
length of the step to the comfort of the
dancer.
A glanco at tho photograph of myself
and M. Clustine, which Is presented on
this page, will give nn excellent Idea, of
tho attitude of each dancer at the end of
tho first stop In the forward-glide, which
Is taken on count "one."
On count "two" the lady brings her left
foot forward, swinging It JUst clear of
tho floor, nnd takes a second step, con
siderably shorter than tho first. The
right foot Is again brought Into use on
count "three," also a shorter step for
ward than that on count "one," and then
comes count "four," on which the lady
takes n forward step on her left foot and
executes nn about-face turn to her left.
During the four forward stepB the lady
nnd her cavalier have held their right and
left arms before them, t'ne hands clasped
In the manner already explained. As
each executes the about-face turn, they
give a smart twist to tho arms, finding In
this procedure a means of assistance In
maintaining the balance as tne turn is
made.
Counts "five," "six," "seven" and
"eight" are correspondingly those of the
first four counts, snve thnt the llnq of
direction Is reversed tho lady places her
loft hand In the right or her partner.
Tno cnvaller's movements are corres
pondingly the same as those of his lady,
he taking a step with his right foot when
she moves with her left nnd turning to
his left for the about-face turn' Instead,
as she does, to her right. The next arti
cle will consider the last of the one-step
figures.
TALK ON BOOBS! HORRORS!
PHIL0MUSIANS PUZZLED
i .
Program Calendar Starts Stir Among;
Mombers.
What's this, a talk on boobs? What
sort of an animal or Invention 13 a boob?
How very Interesting!
Lorgnettes were lifted Inquiringly and
chins tilted suspiciously Into the air when
the program calendar of the Phllomua
lan Club announced that the Current
Events Class would be treated to a talk
on Boobs tomorrow morning.
Dignified members of this most digni
fied club, unversed In the piquant phrase
ology of modern slang, wondered Just
what the talk was going to be about,
anyway, and those more sophisticated
members who sensed at least the meaning
of Boobseven If they weren't quite sure
of It, marveled at the Introduction of such
a frivolous, not to say sacrilegious topic
Into their program.
The telephone at the club's headquar
ters at 3941 Walnut street has been ring
ing right merrily In consequence. But
alas, or perhaps, fortunately, there isn't
to be a talk on Boobs after all. I fa going
to be on Books and a typographical error
was responsible for the commotion.

TRADE BOOM PLANS
HAVE CO-OPERATION
AS STARTING POINT
"New Philadelphia" Din
ner on February 9 Will Be
Attended by 500 Business
Leaders of City.
Final details of the trade development
campaign, which wtli herald Philadel
phia's Industrial pre-eminence around the
world, were arranged at a meeting of
tho Executive Committee In the Bourse
at noon today. At this time plans were
also completed for the New Philadelphia
dinner nt the Manufacturers' Club on Feb
ruary i, when the movement to promote
this city's business Interests will bo for
mally Inuncned.
Following the meeting Invitations to
the dinner aro to be sent to more thnn (00
of the leading representatives of Phila
delphia's banking, transportation, manu
facturing, merchandise and maritime In
terests. Each of them will be urged to
co-operate In the movement to advertise
Philadelphia throughout America and
across the sea as "the world' greatest
workshop."
The Invitation to the dinner sets forth
that the speakers will be men who have
lone things .nd their talks will be
"Philadelphia's ability to take advantage
of the new opportunities born of new
financial power and unusual conditions."
On the list of speakers will be the men
whose executive genius to a great extent
ha dominated tho Industrial life In this
city. Each will tell why the Industry he
represents la pre-eminent in Philadel
phia. Small manufacturers and Individuals
backing the lesser commercial enterprises
here will profit from tho movement, an
well as the groat commercial houses. In
tho union of forces, which is part of the
plan, the aim will be to boost Philadel
phia and all that Is mado hero, In tho
past small manufacturers have been ham
pered In their efforts to exploit their own
wares, but Incorporated In this now move
ment Is tho Idea of co-opcratlvo adver
tising. Director George W. Norrls, of tho De
partment of Wharves, Docks and Ferries,
In discussing tho campaign today pointed
out tho need for united nctlon nnd de
plored Philadelphia's seeming Inability to
understand the advantages of co-opora-tlon.
"Great industrial concerns like the
United States Steel Corporation and the
Standard Oil Company," Director Norrls
said, "can afford to advertise und push
their goods In all the markets of. tho
world. The large local Industries, such
as the Ualdwln Locomotive Works, Brill
Car Works and the Stetson hat factory,
can afford to have their own selling
agencies all over tho world,
"When It comes to the smalt manufac
turer, however, ho cannot afford to In
vestigate foreign markets and credits, do
foreign advertising and maintain n for
eign selling force. The only way, then.
In which the small manufacturer can get
Into the foreign markets Is by some co
operative plan.
"I am sorry thnt there Is not a large
central trade body In Philadelphia capa
ble of doing for this city What the Cham
ber of Commerce of Boston does for
BoBton, nnd what similar organizations
do for many other cities. I am sorry also
that the recently appointed Foreign
Trade Committee In Philadelphia has not
taken up the subject more actively.
"There seems to be a strange Inability
on the part of Philadelphia manufac
turers and merchants to realize the ad
vantages of union and co-operation, not
only for foreign trade, but for domestic
trade as well, and for the general up
building and Improvement of Phila
delphia. "I am very heartily In favor of any
movement that will emphasize the ad
vantages of co-operation and devise some
means to obtain It"
OPPOSING WOMEN LEADERS
CLASH OVER SUFFRAGE
"Who la Mrs. Thompson?" Biles the
Anti Chieftain.
DOVER, Del.. Jnn. 26.-Mrs. Henry B.
Thompson, social mentor of Delaware
and leader of the anti-suffrage forces, will
appear before the House Committee on
Revised Statutes to Inform the commit

suffrage leader, queried "who Is this Mrs.
Thompson?" during the suffrage hearing,
Mrs. Thompson has requested the com
mittee to grant the "antls" an audience
on February S, and Chairman Hill
assented,
The feud botween Mrs. Thompson, a
daughter of General James II. Wilson,
U, S. A., retired, and Mrs. Hilles. daugh
ter of the former Ambassador to England,
has spread along the ranks of the suf
fragists and anti-suffragists, and a social
war is on.
Mrs. Thompson, to off-set the rally of
the suffragists last week. Is planning to
bring a large delegation of "antls" to
the State House, with a preponderance of
women socially prominent as ocular evi
dence that representative of the State do

greatly with tho character of tho goods"
carried, the Department of Agriculture
announced today In a report on n, recent
Investigation of the relation of such ratea
to farm prices.
Rates on hay are the highest, with egga

On a 25-mlle route In Maine the rate for
a barrel of apples was IS cents, whllo
the average farm price waa $1.73. ThlJ
waa 1.7 per cent, of the farm price.
On cotton traffic In the South the per
centnge ranged from 0. to 3. Eggs varied
from 0.8 to 10, and hay, because of Its)
great bulk, was charged from 10 to 4
per cent, of Its farm value. Wheat ranged
from 3 to IB per' cent.
The Inquiry covered 102 river lines, and
disclosed .that this traffic generally is lo
cal, the routes rarely extending mora
than a few hundred miles and the boats
averaging less than 10 miles an hour.
"Long runs by through fast steamers
are things of the paat," the report says.
