Tahiti’s Little Dance-Queen she being a French girl named Raquel Foret who went to Tahiti and opened a dance palace for visiting sailors and Americans. She is said to be doing very well, even though she is only eighteen years old, and no doubt this infant will soon be returning to La Belle, France, with her apron pocket full of francs. She’s a charming little miss, isn’t she? And she has never married. She speaks English very quaintly, says our correspondent who got this picture for us.
