But privately she is jilst "Meescs" Foklna, girlishly en thusiastic nbout her jewels nnd her pretty clothes and, not. after nil. the partner, but just the verj much loved nnd petted spouse of nn nlorlug litis baud. Madame Foklna docs not speak ny English. Her bright brown cjes are very willing to and her pleasing, eager smile soys many things not to be round in thu linguist's dictionary. But it was after all through n ycry t.atlcnt nnd willing interpreter tlint tlic petite dnnseuse made known the things that she wanted to say. In the first place, Madame Foklna believes in the American woman ns a dancer, although not oxnetly believing In the American ilnnco ns it is danced. "Dancing develops beauty," she con tends, "but it must lie a certain kind of daneiug." Briefly defined, it must Vc a free, natural Kind of movement, uustlltcd by jerky stops and staits. It must be the healthy movement of the healthy body. vWhen asked if she thought it possible for America to produce a Pavlova or a Fokina from its nutlve talent, the wife of tho great Husslan muster, who lias been in such close touch with his work, enthusiastically snld, "Yes, the neces sary grace is there." niericnn Temperament O. K. v Then the question of temperament was brought up. Could the cool, calm, littlo American sister, however willing the flesh might be, pour forth her spirit in the unfettered expression that beems so much tlie body nnd soul of llussian dancing? "Mais oui! She could." Madame Foklna explained that when her husband first took in hand the ballet nt the Metropolitan Opera House in .'ew York he was dubious nbout the sultnble tcm- pernment of American ;lrls for the Itussiuu interpretive dancing.

If it were not Hussion or French temperament, then it was a brand of graceful enthusiasm so closely akin that one could be substituted for the other. The American "joy of liv ing" might be said to be our national artistic vxuression. Madam1: Fokina herself Is an embodi ment el the joy of living, be it ltussian or otherwise. She lows life und clothe uiid America. "Dp Paris," she said polntiii'; to ner subtle smart black velvet hat ; "et nussl de Paris," she continued throwing open her sumptuous wrap that was also black velvet and showing n charming white u-ock with wide bands of black velvet softly threaded in gold.

I.iki' her husband, who has us creator of Mordkin, Nljlnskl and other famous dancers, the right to shape the dance destinies of nations, Madame Foklna is hoping that the day will come When dancing will be entirely spiritual ized. That is. that tTicre ill be no idle movements but some beautlf.il rcnl or ideal theme as inspiration ami guidance for each dance. The Kokincs arrived from Europe n week ago. They have been particularly anxious to mnke their initial appearance in Philadelphia as they arc doing to night hecnusc of Monsieur Fokine's failure to appear here last season.

Paul, the mur dered bank messenger, whose body wit' found buried in the pine woods nen Tabernacle. x The prosecutor nodded his office that he would not be there today. While the authorities refuse to N;eveal the Idchtlty of 'the young woman for whom the prosecutor nnd his detectives nre searching, it is ndmltted that 'much im portance is laid to linrilng her. Confidence Is expressed by the police that If this woman Is luf-alcd she will be able to divulge Information which will lend to unraveling what Is con sidered the most mysterious murder case in the criminal annals of New Jer sey. The. prosecutor declared early this morning: "Wc are running out every clue regardless of how trilling It may seem, but the location of this womnn who was Inst seen with Paul shortly bcfdVc his death I believe will prove 11 very important development.

James, who lives in Brooklawn. near Gloucester, was put under detention nt Camden city hall bemuse he picked Paul up on Broadway the day he ilWnppcnrt'd and carried him in his automobile ns far as the Camden ferry. "I bejlcve none of the stories by which the authorities are seeking to con nect mv husband with the murder of Paul," Mrs. James decinred?today. Her comely face indicated she lind been cry ing. She has been nt the home of her pnrents, Mr. and Mis. Joseph M. Splegle, at 020 Newton sheet, Camden, since her husband's detention. "Why, I can prove where mv hus band was last Thursday nnd Friday, when they say the body was burled near Tabernacle. He was with me nt Brooklawn nil tiie time he wasn t work-, ing nt the garage. "The day Paul's body Is believed to have been burled my husbiiud didn't huve his automobile. My son, Harold, who attends Camden High School, used the automobile that day.
