An that's why arise upon this floor to ager-

quiet unobstrusive grace, but we have
not heard that any young men have
gone shoplifting in her bailiwick eX-
preSsly for the pleasure of being caught
by the fair detective.
Miss Alexander was engaged through
detective agency and had hardly got
her bearings in the store when she
caught man and woman. They were
Richard johnson and Francis Kline.
Miss Alexander watched them at the
ring counter. The woman wore a hat
and looked like a purchaser. Several
trays OF rings were handed out. While
the woman was engaging the saleswom-
an the man slipped three rings into his
overcoat pocket. Then he bought a
cheap ring and started out.
Miss Alexander waited till johnson
got out on the sidewalk to give him no
excuse. Then she told him he was
into his pocket, with the thief's first i'm
pulse to throw away stolen property.
But the little baud of the nineteen-year-
old detective clutched his wrist.
Keep your hand there" she said.
When policeman came, the girls
nervous grip unclasped, and in the
pocket the three rjpgs were found.
Johnson was sent to the island for five
months. The woman, pleading limo
cence, got off.
Miss Alexander seldom has much
trouble with the men, but the female
shoplifters something's show fight, as did
the handsome actress whom she caught
stealing rings the other day, AS the
woman walked out of the store she was

"branches." as the candlesticks in those
far-away days were called. The china is
white and gold,and the linen of the very

Bartoietti, the other premiere, is charm
ing in every sense Of the VOID; but the
most remarkable performance in this
line is that Of SCR. Biancifiori,
who gives truly marvellous
exposition of the dancers art.
Among the most prominent spe-
cialties is that of Mardo, whose won
derfuI juggling feats win tremendous
enthusiasm. Among the numbers of the
ballet of popular airs is a capital bur-
lesque entitled the "Bowerv," in which
eight persons represent the typical male
and female dancers at a Bowery ball
with such cleverness as to secure many
recalls. The AFTER the Balln ballet is
decided hit. Tom O'Brien,the Greppo
of the cast, gives such comical and ex-
traordinary exhibition of his acrobatic
and gymnastic powers that the encores
are only stopped by the peremptory or
dering on of the next number. The
Chicago Inter Ocean, in speaking of a
recent performance of 1.-The Crook"
says:
Every one expected to see something
particularly naughty when the uuartette
of French Quadrille dancers from the
Casino, Paris, led by the celebrated
Mile. La Sirene, came OIL. 1t is Ger
tainly an astonishing exhibition of agil-
ity and suppleness. To sum up, the
play is superbly staged, the costumes
are positively bewildering in their rich
ness and brilliancy, the mechanical
effects are first.class, the ballet is large
and well drilled, and is led by two
premieres, remarkable male dancer
and four young French women who
have never been surpassed in their line
i'll this country. The dramatic portion
of the company is equal to the occa-
sion.
The 'Black Crook will be pre-
sented at Wednesday and Saturday
matinees at reduced prices for the bene-
fit Of the ladies and children.

A Dainty Evening Costume.

The fashionable shade for evening
wear this winter is the softest, purest
Quaker gray imaginable. writes Isabel
A. Mallon in an illustrated article on
The Art of Evening Dressing'' in the
January Ladies' Home Journal. The
material chosen depends, of course, on
the wearer. One which is readily
adapted either to a married or all I'M
married woman, though not to an ex-
tremely young girl. is of very heavy
gros grain silk of silver gray. The
skirt, which is quite PLAIN, has just train
enough to give it dignity, and for a
finish there is gathered frill of three
lnch-wide dead white satin ribbon. The
bodice is round one, with the throat
cut out in broad, square fashion, and
is outlined by an insertion of lace of
the deepest coffee color, and below it,
reaching almost to the waist, is a full
frlll of lace OF the same shade.

The words were hardly out of her
mouth wien the young woman turned
on her, and, raising an umbrella she
carried in her hand, brought it down on
Miss. Alexander's head. Fortunately
the detective wore bonnet. and the
blow, while running it for wearing pur-
poses, did no further damage. The
customers in the store were at once
thrown into wild excitement, not know
ing the cause of the commotion, and
crowded about the young detective and
her prisoner, whose threats, tears and
entreaties were of no avail. The rings
were found in her possession, and she
was logged off to the station house.

most upon her natural gift for reading
