THE JANUARY SMART SET
Ralph Henry Harbour has sur
passed even the charm of his own
previous efforts in the rapid-fire
movement and absorbing breezine3s
of his latest novel, "A Pool's Woo
ing," which is published complete in
the January Smart Set. To meet the
conditions of an inheritance an impe
cunious young Now York club man
with bachelor propensities must
marry within thirty days. The fran
tic search for an eligible parti, the
terrific whirlwind wooing that ensues
and the stormy progress of this made
to-order romance makes a story that
is one of the very greatest "thrillers"
of the year.
The number has the usual quantity
of clever stuff ? prose and poetry.
DO YOU DANCE ALL THE DUNCES?
Why nof. take a few instructions and
learn how tc dance the new dances, or
the old ones that, you simply cannot
mas'er? ? Prof. Griesbach's dancing
academy, Kagles' hall. Classes Monday
