FOX TROT DIES; WALTZ
AND BLUES SWEEP LONDON
LONDON, Mar. 3.—The fox trot is
dead.
The one-step is dead.
Ragtime is dead.
The waltz and blues are pre-emi
nent.
This is the 1924 forecast for the
dancing world. “The waltz has come
to stay,” said Miss Marguerite Va
cani to a correspondent recently.
“It was never more popular than
it is now in its modernized form. It
comprises half of every dance pro
gram; the other half is made up
of the blues.
“Never spea.k of rag-time again, and
do not mention the word ‘trot,’ for all
trotting and dipping have departed
from the dance.”
GETS DECREE FOR
DOING HOUSEWORK
CHICAGO, Mar. 3.—Vernie Preiks- !
chat, an electrical engineer, told Judge J
Hugo M. Freiend that he didn’t ob
' ject to caring for his infant daughter!
during his wife’s absence, but he felt;
that she was imposing upon him too
much when she insisted that he act
as cook, dishwasher and chamber- j
maid in his own home.
“I had to do all of the housework
myself for nearly six months while
: my wife ‘stepped out” to shows and 1
! with me in the evenings she would
| immediately pick up anything mova- *
ble that was handy and heave it at my
head. We had fist fights, hair-pulling
' contests and battle of words continu- j
| ally.”
The engineer was granted a di-:
j vorce.
The party of twelve who spent Sat
| urday and Sunday at Mile Seven were
delightfully entertained by Mr. and
I Mrs. Hendrickson on Saturday even
