PRETTY Papinta


Here is a story about Papinta the
dancer, who is worshipped in Chicago by
theatergoers there because of her devo-
ton to the city of her adoption. 1t was
a Chicago man who gave her the stage
name of Papinta and she gives Chicag go the
preference over New York and Boston in
making purchases for her California
ranch. The Chicago paper wisely says
nothing about Papinta's penchant above
all for the Golden State as shown by her
purchase of the large acreage destined for
her future home. The item is as follows:
1.-The storm and the hailstones which
struck the town last evening made an i'm
preston upon Papinta which she will not
soon forget. Manager Murdoch of the
Masonic Temple Roof theater and Billy
Halpin, Papinta's manager, were likewise
impressed Incidentally. it ruinedi $50
dress for Pap!nta and gave a new drag
which she had purchased only the day
before such drenching as it will proba bly,
never get again. if its rubber-tired wheels
should roll on forever.
at happened that Papinta had bought a
California ranch nine or ten months ago,
while doing her dances on the Orpheum
circuit, the said ranch being situated In
Costra Contra Costa) county valley
with the jaw-breaking name of Ygna tiaz
(Ygnacio). In all of her travels since that
time Papinta has been looking for a drag
to suit her fastidious taste. When she ar
rived in Chicago she found not one but
three vehicles she fancied, and all of them
will be shipped to her California place i'm
mediately upon the close of her engage
ment at the roof theater.
But the drag had to be initiated in Chi
cago, she declared, as it was a Chica go
product. Consequently it was brought out
yesterday afternoon for the first time and
directly after the matinee, with Halpin al
the reins and Murdoch majestically dis
posed upon the cushions of the rear seat
a drive was taken to Sunnyside. The storm
struck the party in Lincoln park. Papinta
put up peagreer parasol frail as a lace
handkerchief. A hailstone about the size
of an egg struck it and did not do thing
to it. The horses reared and plunged
Three runaway teams passed and dis
astrous collision was only avoided by the
excellent generalship of Halpin, who had
the hardest and most exciting job of his
life to hold the horses In about two min
utes the whole party looked as though 1t
had taken plunge in the lake. But an
of them declared last night that it was the
most enjoyable drive they had ever taken
anywhere, and Papinta said she wouldn' t
have missed it for the world, despite the
demolished parasol and the $3.50 worth Of
dress goods gone to the wash never to re-
turn"
The other leading Chicago daily treats
the same incident in this fashion:
1--WE have been requested to state that
Papinta was out riding the other day when
the hailstorm occurred and ruined a dress
worth $1OO. By some strange oversight the
press agent did not enclose picture of the
dress or few hailstones as guaranty of
good faith"

he went up to the desk and asked If that

was told to come inside to the clerks desk
and he beckoned to the girl She scowled
a him and looked stubborn. He went over
to her and talked in low tone and then he
left her standing and went inside to the
clerks desk.
"You'll have to have the woman come
here, too, if you wish a license" said Major
Hampton to the old darkey. He went back
TO her and finally coaxed her inside. A
chair was placed for her. but she twirled
it around and sat down with her back to
the clerk and continued to scowl. When it
came time for her to answer to her age she
snapped out:
"Haint goin t swah to nuthin'."
The old man coaxed her: Fanny, how
do you 'spect to get the licen'?"
"Doan' want no lcen.
How do you 'spect to git mah'd without
no licen'?'
"Doan' want to git nah d.
At last she was induced to hold up her
hand and take the oath. Then it became
necessary to sign her name to the applica-

At last she did sign 1t and the names on
the license were:
J. r. Hancock age 80.
Fanny Williams, age q.
AS they left the room together the old
man looked back and grinned, but the girl
did not relax the scowl on her face.

happy marriage" remarked Major Hamp-
