''The Belle of New York was to have
sailed yesterday on the same boat with
THE Heart of Maryland company. THE
Belle is to open April II at the SALISBURY
in London. The New York Evening Sun has
this to say of the ocean voyage of the COM
pany. A change has come over the spirit of
the fair actresses in THE Belle of New
York" They aren't nearly so anxious to sail
for England as they were two or three
days ago. In fact, the bellies are suffering
from war scare of the largest dimensions.
The fact that they about to sail on an
American ship, and the possibility that
their craft might be made the bull's-eye
or some stray Spaniard's hot shot, have
hlled those unusually giddy young persons
with 1S-karat apprehension.
AT the Casino yesterday the young W0m-

chorus girl made a sensation by producing

stantly became so popular that by the END
of the evening the chorus girls had abb
sorbed 1t TO such an extent that there was
nothing left of it but its cover
After the rehearsal an informal council of
war was held by the young women and
definite plan of action decided on. The mo-
ment that Spanish craft dawns on the
horizon every belle will assume her tights
and full war paint and report for active
81 ice in full marching order to Miss Sylvia
Thorne, whose pedal members were unani-
mously chosen to head the brigade. Each
morning, in the course of the voyage, d
short drill will be gone through, which,
among other things. will show the young
yemen the shortest way Of pulling Span
iard's leg. That they will be fully armed
goes without saying. for not only will their
personal charms make the use of any arms

them Unnecessary. but in case of emergency
