HOW THE PRINCE “CUT IN.”
MEN ROBBED OF PARTNERS AT
DANCES.
NEW YORK. Now. 15. "I have been listening for the past three days to praises of the Prince of Wales sung by all sorts and conditions of men whom he has met during his stay in Washington.
antes.
What has impressed me most has been the obvious sincerity of his ad- mirers, whether they are wounded soldiers with whom he conversed at the hospitals, journalists with whom he spent a jolly evening at the Press Club, or society matrons and debut- .
The attractive. thing about the Prince," a veteran diplomat of served to me at one of the receptions. is that he is so entirely natural.*
This quality of naturalness he has manifested on several occasions, but at no time more amusingly than a a dance given last night. The Prince danced Indefatigably, but he seemed quite nonplussed when in the mids! of one of the numbers an American "cut in upon him and took his fair partner away, The Prince's, looks betrayed his astonishment.
Another American, observing his' discomfiture. approached and explain- ed that cutting in."was an establish- ed custom at Washington dances. The young women rarely fail to de- sent a partner it another offers himself in the midst of a dance, lor their popularity is publicly attested by the number of charges they can make in a single dance. Those, in fact, who have to complete a dance with their original partner deem their fate as ignominious as that of a wallflower,
THE GIRL AND THE FLAG. The Prince listened to the explana- tian with obvious relict and impul sively asked: Can I then cut in'?''
"Certainly." was the reply.
The Prince thereupon selected the prenest girl in the room. and" cut in triumphantly. He continued his cam- paign of cutting in throughout the rest of the evening and danced every round of every dance.
When receiving a body of news- paper representatives on his arrival Washington one of the audience boldly asked the Prince if he was receiving as many letters from fair admirers in America, as he did in Canada. The Prince turned an in- quiting, eye on one of his aides, whe observed that a few score of such episdes were arriving daily.
One of these epistles came from a Virginian girl who expressed a keen desire to have the honour of meeting! the Prince. adding that she intended to stand with the British flag in her hand at the corner of the road leading to the entrance of George Washing- ron's country home at Mount Vernon. The newspapers "to-day describe with much gusto how the Prince yesterday hahed his motor-car outside Mount Vernon, and, after alighting. ap- proached an extraordinarily pretty girl who was waving the British Bag. 1 and good humouredly bantered her upon her letter.

CORD TIRES
...
UALITY in a tire is not appreciated until it asserts itself through long
Qcontinued trouble-free performance.
The gauge to this service is the mileage total recorded when the casing finally
is discarded.
The notable achievement of nine stock. tires which, put to official finish test by the Automobile Club of America, averaged 6,760 miles, definitely established the un- usual quality of Vacuum Cup Tires..
The rainy day certified test of the Pitts- burgh Taxicab Company-in which a beavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup Tires was driven around a wet corner at 25 miles an hour without skidding-
conclusively proved the guaranteed ability of the Vacuum Cup tread to resist skid-.. ding on wet, slippery pavemente,:
In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guarantee per warranty tag-of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They coat approxi mately the same as ordinary 8,500 mile tires and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage surety.
