& tt i z By GRACE HOGE. Skellv emitted a sound like that of I an unmutficd motor. Then he slammed j down his glass and gasped like a lish j out of water. "I'll be dodgasted if I will!" said ; he. Mrs. Skelly did not move an eye lash. "The class meets at the Finchcs," she proceeded, "and your Tuxedo will be all right." "Dancing class at my age!" Skelly roartd. "Why not marbles? Me tie myself up in bowknots doing the tango when I ought to be dandling my rrandchildren on my knee telling them stories of the war?" "You haven't any grandchildren, and as your son is only fourteen, you don't have to worry about that for a j while," remarked Mrs. Skelly. "And I there is no sense in our being back numbers when every one else is do- i ing such things. And I want to learn ' the one-step tonight. It is great fun. j Besides, I promised that I'd join." "Why did I ever get married?" Skel- | ly demanded hotly of the chiffonier, i as he incased himself in the Tuxedo. "Why doesn't a man ever appreciate j his freedom when he has it, I'd like I to know? Why didn't I stay down 1 town wun i'oweit wnen iie hskku me, i instead of coming home to pasa a happy evening in the bosom of my j family? Dragged out of my comfort- i able chair to make an idiot of my- I self?" "The electric has come," said Mrs. ! Skelly, peering from the window. ; "Come along, Arthur." "What chance has a man got, any how?' Skelly demanded furiously of I five other men in the dressing room | at the Finches. "No chance at all!" J The other five agreed tumultously | and gloomily. "I feel like a fool," Skelly said, as they surged in before the teacher with their wives. "I think age should be dignified. Any pictures of the tango that I've seen show the people 1 climbing chandeliers or sliding on their shoulder blades. I put It to J'OU, ?.miiy, wouiu i iuun. wen suuiu& on my shoulder blades? Would you like to haye our son see me doing | it?" "Miss Grippy," interposed Mrs. Skel- j ly sweetly at this point in the mono logue, "my husband, Mr. Skelly." "Some looker," commented Skelly, ! with a show of interest. "Is she to j teach us? Why didn't you intimate something to that effect sooner? : Cracking good ankles, hasn't she?" j "Arthur," said Mrs. Skelly severely, . "you're supposed to be listening to j what she's saying!" "All speech is not verbal," insisted I Skelly. "What's that she is saying j about a grapevine? It sounds compli cated." The rest of the class managed to master the grapevine step shortly, but Skelly had a terrible time. It was necessary for Miss Grippy to give him a special, personal lesson twice De-1 fore he permitted the class to go on to the second movement of the one step. "One-two-three-four," he gasped to Mrs. Skelly. "Are there curls flowing ! over my shoulder, and do I see my j nurse waiting for me in the hall with i my tippet and overshoes? Look at Finch grabbing the teacher for a sim- j , pie one-two-three-four?I won't stand ^ for such monopoly! Teacher's pet! i I want her to show me the drag ! step!" "Anybody with sense could do the : drag step without being shown," growled Finch. "If you think this one step is so hard whatchu going to ; do when it comes to the tango? There ' are 64 steps and I bet you never learn j 'em!" "Bet I do!" said Skelly warmly. "I don't know that you and the others have anything on me when It comes to a simple matter of memory! Why, I I was the best dancer in the crowd | when I was a boy! Took up every | new dance the minute it came out, and I guess these new fangled^things j aren't so very different from the old! Learn 'em? Pooh! Bet I get the tan- ' go down before you and the other , fellows have had time to cross your feet once! And at that I'll bet you'll cross 'em the wrong fray!" "Oh, stow your brag!" said Finch. "Watch me! Light on my feet? what?" "Can't leam It! Pooh!" Skelly S2id to Mrs. Skelly on the way home. "Why, did you hear what Miss Grippy said to me? Said I was getting the one step better than any one else In the class! Isn't there another lesson for a week? I think that's too long a time to wait. Don't you? Say, Emily, what are you laughing at?" WirelesB Waves Bother Birds. Wireless telegraphy has done much for us, and probably?or rather, surely will?do a great deal more for the benefit of humanity at large. But, if they could speak, many birds would probably tell you that they don't ap prove of this new invention in the least. For in the parts of the world where there are a large number of wireless stations observations have been made which seem to indicate that birds are disturbed in a very curious way by the wireless waves. The un offending seagull is one of the chief 1 sufferers, as also is the harmless dove. This strange state of things Is attributed in some way to an effect!? of the ether waves, though how it is brought about is not yet understood.? Answers. j, Age of Talent. According to some recently oon> ? piled statistics, the most chemical and medical discoveries have been mad? by men of forty years of age. Forty- < four Is the age at which a poet may expect to do his best work; soldiers and explorers tend to distinguish them- . selves most at the age of forty-seven; i at forty-eight years of age the com posers and actora are at the summit , of their powers; politicians excel at flfty-two years, philosophers at fifty four and humorists at fifty-six. These figures preach patience to the young. mm** ALLEN-GARNER. 1 E (Contributed.)
