John Henry Takes a Tango Lesson

HK Idea originated with Bunch Jefferson. You can always count HI Bunch having a few freak Ideas In the belfry where he keeps his butterBunch and his wife, Alice, live out la Westchester county, about half a selle from Uncle Peter’s bungalow, where friend wife and I are spending The fact that Unde Peter and Aunt Martha bad decided to give us a party was the Inspiration for Bunch’s bril■ant idea - "Lister,, John." he macchlavellled: “wot one of this push out here knows ■ thing about the tango. Most of them fcrve a foolish Idea that It's a wicked lTr‘‘-“— Invented by the devil who snt rights to the Evil-Do-Hob. Now, 111 tell you wtwt well do, John: Well put them WHs. We’ll take about two lessons Kwh a good Instructor In town and on Bn wight of the party well make the Ml of our livee teaching them all to Hugo. Are you James to the posalbllEtar "It listens like a good spiel." I Rgreod; "but will a couple of lessons life enough for us?'' "tare." he came back; "we're not | couple of Patsys with the pump! We can learn enough In two lessens to dfewke ■jod in this boob community. Why. sell start a tango craze cut, lore that will put Mfe and ginger In Afe whole outfit and presently they'll Ife putting up statues in our honor." ' Well, to make a long story lose Its erasing, we made arrangements nest day with Ikey Schwartz, dancing Instructor. to explain the mysteries of this modern bome-wrecking proposition known as the tango, and paid him In advance the sum of 1100. We, made an appointment to meet Key at his "studio" for our first leseon the following afternoon. Then we hiked for home on the 4:14. well I with our Investment and Its e of golden returns, t night Bench and Alice were wear to our piece for dinner. After 4Hwnw Bunch and I sat down by the leg fire in the Dntcb room, filled our taces with Havana paneiellaa and proweeded to enjoy life in silence.

"Leave everything to me." B growled as we shaved oar hats and Indlanfiled to a trough. "A quart of Happyauds." Bunch ordered. "How about It. Ikey?” Ikey flashed a grin and tried to swallow hta palate, so It wouldn’t Interfere with the wet spell suggested by Bunch Ikey belonged to the “dls. doee and dem” push. Every long sentence he uttered was full of splintered grammar. There was surely something w with Ikey’s switchboard, because he could wrap his system around more Indian laughing Juloe without getting lit up than any other man In 5>e world. But Ikey was the compliments the season, all right, all right. ’The luncheon had been ordered and Bunch was Just about to switch the conversation around to the subject of rotates when suddenly his eyes took cn the appearance of saucers and. Upping me on the arm, he gasped. "Look!’’ I looked and beheld Peaches, Alice sad Aunt Martha sailing over In direction. With a whispered admonition to Bunch to keep Ikey still I went torward to meet friend wife, her aunt and Alice. They were as much surprised as I was. ‘It was such a delightful day that Aunt Martha couldn’t resist the temptation to do a little shopping.” Peaches rattled on; "and then we decided to oome here for a bit of luncheonhello. Bunch’ I’m no glad to see yon! John, hadn’t we better Uke another Uble so that your friendly conference may not be Interrupted ?’• I hastened to assure Peaches that It wasn’t a conference at all. We had met Mr. Schwartz quite by accident. Then I Introduced Ikey to the ladles. He got up and did something that was tuppoaed to be a bow. but you csuldnt tell whether he wa. tying nis shoe or coming down a atepladder. After they bad ordered club *-ndwlchea and coffee I explained to Peaches and the other* that Mr. Schwartz was a real estate dealer. Ikey began to swell up at once.

cert. Unde Peter has a perfect horror of these modem dances and Peaches and Alice and 1 share It with him.” Then abe turned to Ikey. "Don’t you think these modem dances are perfectly disgusting'” Poor Ikey looked reproachfully at the old lady a second, then wiui gathering astonlshmen* he slid silently off the chair and struck the floor with a bump. Aunt Martha was so rattled over this unexpected effort on Schwartz's part that she upset her coffee and Ikey got most of It in the back of the neck. When peace was finally restored the old lady came to the surface with an envelope which had been lying on the table near her plate. "Ie this your letter. John?" she aaked. and then arranging her glosses, read with great deliberation: “Mr. L Schwartz. Tango Teacher. Care of Kumcarly and Staylatea' Cabaret. «ew York." Peaches and Alice went Into the Ice business right away quick. Aunt Martha In pained surprise looked at me and then at Bunch and

And If he trequrntw! cabarets without my knowlplrii b Alice, what would I do?" I looked a: Bunch, he looked at me and then we both looked out the winfeow. "Pol my pari."

Hot and cold windows. runnliig gas and noloelosa Janitors. Mr. Schwartz la tbe inventor of the Idea of having two baths In every apartment so that the lessees will have less excuse for not being water broke." Ikey never cracked a smile. "In Mr. Schwartz's apartment houses." I continued, while Bunch kicked my shins under the table, “yon will find self-freezing refrigerators and aelf-leaving servants. All the rooms are light rooms, when you light tbe gas. Two of bis houses overlook the park and all of them overlook the building laws. The floors are made of concrete, no that If you want to bring a horse la the parlor you can do so without kicking off the plaster In the flat below.

"Ikey Tried to Br d a Society Double." finally focused a steady beam of Interrogation upon the countenance of Mr. Schwartz. Ikey never whimpered. Then Bunch took the letter from the open-eyed Aunt Martha and leaped to the reacuu while I came out of the trance slowly. Tt’e too bad Mr. Schwartz fyrgot his ear trumpet." Bunch said quickly and Ikey waa wise to the tip 1_ a

minute.

Peaches sniffed suspiciously and I knew she bad the gloves on. "Mr. Schwartz’s affliction la terrible." ahe said with a chill in every word. "How did yon converse with him before onr arrival?” "Oh. he understands tbe lip language and con talk back on hit Ungers.” I hastened to explain, looking hard at Ikey. whose maskllke face gave no token that he understood what v ss,going on. T thought I understood yon to say Mr. Schwartz la a real estate dealer." PeaLches continued, while the thermometer went lower and lower. "So he Is." I replied. "Then why does his correspondent address him as a tango teacher?" friend wife said slowly, and i could hear the icebergs grinding each other ell around me. T think I can explain that." Bunch put In quietly. Then with the utmost deliberation he looked Ikey In the eye and said. "Mr. Schwarts, it’s real ly none of my business, hut would you mind telling me whv you. a real estate dealer, should have a letter in your possession which Is addressed to you as a tango teacher? Answer me on your fingers." Ikey delivered the goods. In a minute he had both pawa working overtime and such knuckle twining no mortal man ever Indulged In before. "He says." Bunch began to Interpret. "that the letter la not his. la Intended for laadore Schwartz, a wicked cousin of his who Is a victim of the cabaret habit.

The most attractive of the new gowns already displayed for the coming winter, are characterised by the long straight Hum that belong to the aemlfittlng princess, and by the Inspiration of the Bastlan blouse.

The skirts, while amply *uU, are not decidedly flaring bat they ere decidedly short. The Russian idea is developed with fine success In the 'various pile fabrics used for dressier suits.

The wide turned-beck cuffs slope outward and the edges are carved for ward. A row of buttons finishes each

The long aeah ends of self fabric which appear on many of the new gowns merit much consideration. Besides their pleasing novelty they are graceful and give opportunity for very effec*lve decoration which adds much to the finish of a frock or suit. JULIA BOTTOMLEV.

It assumes draped lines that drop a little on either stdr and are lifted at the bark, this all being achieved In the cutting of the garment. Such wraps are lined with very lightweight silks, or the tiding may be of chiffon. The blazer stripes are Immensely popular and because of the rcturo of gay colors, bright red baa come Into Us own once more One It In beautiful shades that are eoft without being garish, and which are very attractive when worn by the right person.
