THE SOCIETY GIRL
 AND THE STAGE

The fashionable American girl who goes on the stage has her fashionable life writ ten of as sentimentally as if fashionable life was not the same the world over 1t is held against her like the past of poli- ticians. It is told of her in such a way that you wonder to what extent a pink tea will lead you, just as if these college bred, pink-tead girls did not give smart ness to the stage. l met year or two ago in New York a charming and high bred young girl who was at that time play ing her first engagement on the stage. I did not know, however, that she was even studying until one day she said to me, You must come to the Herald Square the ater tonight and see how look on the stage" She then told me that after her education abroad she had come back to America and gone the pace of a fashionable season or two. She lived with her grand parents in the old ancestral home in Bald- more. Her grandfather was one of the bishops of Maryland and was opposed to her going on the stage. She had gone up to New York in the face of opposition, and had been on the stage only few weeks.
 Her post, af course, was an unimportant one, and on the programme she appeared under assumed name. She was resld- ing with old friends of her grandparents and you could see her any Sunday morn ing at prayers. She had not given up any thing except pink teas and dinner dances. It was not long before the papers printed the story They made a great feature of her being a reigning belle and the grand daughter of a bishop. She had wearied of pink teas and had gone on the stage in sheer desperation. The papers pictured her as a blase young creature running away from balls and dinner parties and the like It was the old story of the fash ionable American girl going on the stage. There is no use in trying to live down fashionable life.
 There is a fashionable girl In the Mod jeska company this season. She has millionaire papa She is Maud Northam, of California She has led the life that is usually led by young women in America or wealth and culture. Since her arrival In Gotham the wealth of her father has been Haunted in the papers. The gay life that she led on the Pacific slope has made an other newspaper story. For the moment she is regarded as an unusual parsonage, when she declares that she was tired Of pink teas and yellow luncheons. She must go on the stage. Modjeska's ranch is not far from the Northam's, and this flower like child worn out with fower-laden luncheons begged Modjeska to take her on the stage Her papa, she confesses, IS indignant that she has become an actress she who was brought up on pink teas,

ROBBED AN OLD soLyiER.
The Police Are Hunting For "a MAJ
U.o IL suspectcd.

W,,o Is Suspected.
An investigation is being made by the
police of the Second precinct in the mat
ter of the robbery of Joshua Rathford,
an old soldier, on the evening of De-
cember % last. Rathford was granted
thirty day furlough last Friday by the
officials OF the National Soldiers Home,
and was handed a check for $50. He
came to the city and had the check cash
ed. In the evening he visited the home
of Miss Annie White. at No. lll4 Goat
Alley northwest During his stay there,
or TO be more exact, while he was in the
yard in the rear OF the house, he was
robbed of s4I.
When he discovered his loss he made
a report to the police of the Second pre-
cinct station, giving little information as
to the identity OF the alleged robbers.
Since that time the police have secured
additional facts which lead them TO be-
ueve that tho White woman or a man
named William Vincent is mixed up in
the affair. 1t is thought by the police
that the money was removed from the
pockets of the old soldier and afterward
transferred TO a man by the name of
Church.
\ thorough search was made for
Church last evening. but he found out
that officers were after him and disap-
peared. His house was turned upside
down by the policemen, but no trace of
the missing gold pieces was found. AT
"A late hour Policemen Hendricks and
Willingham made another search for
Church. The result of their efforts could
not be learned.

while riding in the vicinity of Massa-

after his fall and it was impossible to
learn much concerning the identity of
the man. 1t was stated by an eyewit-
ness that he is the son of the former
proprietor of a hotel at Colonial Beach.
No papers were found on his person that
might give the police or the hospital
staff any clew as to his residence or oc-
cupation. At the hospital it was dis
covered that Walcott had sustained a
brain concussion and after treatment in
the operating room he was transferred to
a ward. Up to late hour he had not
regained consciousness.
