American Actress Discovers Her

London, July 2S.-An announcement,
made few days ego. that an Amer
lean actress, known on the stage a
Corinne, would be unable to open season
at Brighton, as expected. owing to all her
SONGS having been pirated in England. was
a great surprise to the American colony
here.
The story as to how the piracy was dis
covered is interesting
Miss Corinne Tuesday night was enter

AS she entered the dining salon on the arm

chestra struck up Mendelssohn's wedding

was bridal dinner party. When the mis-
take was pointed out, the musician was pro-
fuse in his apologies, and in order to give
assurance Of his good will offered to play
any Of Corinne's music, IL she would but
send for the scores.
This was done. and during the evening the
band rendered dozen airs which in Amer
lea are associated solely with Miss Corinne's
performances. Meantime, however, the din
London friends dropped into the restaurant
and were invited to Join the party.
Later some one commented on an air be-
ing played by the band. and remarked that
1t was now being done at one Of the music
halls in London.
Corinne and her manager protested that
it was her copyright, and, as far as they
knew, had never yet been performed out of
America. This led to q discussion in which
the orchestra leader Joined the jury. HIS
verdict was that all the pieces submitted
we're already old In London.
The following day the matter was put
into the hands Of lawyers, who after con-
siderable investigation. found that, almost
without exception, every one Of Corinne's
songs had been brought to London. q word

copyright law, but the air practically stolen.
The consequence Is that. Unsteady Of opeii-

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Penetrated to the Restaurant and
Made Cheer for the Tired Little Slave.

Written for The Evening Star.
1t was in one of the cheaper and less fire.
auented cafes of the city that the young
man who had to work holidays elected to
partake of his Christmas dinner.
1t was perfectly natural for him to sit
| down at that long table void of cover, with
bottle of catsup and other sauces placed at
| regular intervals, for it was here that he
satisfied his noontime appetite from day to
day.
Accordingly, when Christmas came, and
| he felt no more alone than usual, it did not
occur to him to patronize some more pre-
tentious place, so he took his accustomed
seat picked up the bin of fare, let his eyes
wander down the long column of Special
for Christmas" and awaited the coming of
the waitress he knew.
She soon appeared with a knife a fork
and glass of water, and she gave a little
gasp of surprise when she saw who the
customer was.
Why" she said, do you have to work
today, too?'
Sure he answered, and wondered why
she looked funny today.
The waitress had passed along to another
table by this time so once more he scanned
the appetizing lines.
There was roast turkey with cranberry
sauce and two vegetables for thirty cents"
and this seemed Christmas like So when
the girl came back he ordered this with the
addition of some sweet potato croquettes.
He also decided to obey mural suggestion
which read, Try our famous coffee"
He watched the girl as she busted herself
in getting up the order and he noticed that
she looked kind of pftiful. She was a nice
little thing, anyway, but she sort of ap-
pealed to him today-She had to work, too.
The poorly cooked turkey soon arrived
with its accomplishments and the girl hes
| itated at his place, and finally stood at the
END of the table watching each mouthful
disappear.
Il am sorry that Won have to worl, to-
day., she said.
Are your" he observed. please pass the
sugar and You forgot spoon
She brought the spoon, and slid the sugar
down the slippery table, and it was then
that he noticed that there were tears in
her eyes.
What's the matter?" he asked.
II don't know-I guess am blue oday-
too?. ''
"Yes-I do" he answered slowly. and
then, Check, please"
She smiled a sad little smile. and then
punched the Slip
IN make it easy today. as you haven't
eaten half your turkey. Kind of a little
christmas present, you know"
He TOOK up the pasteboard and saw that
it called for only thirty-fve cents. and he
knew it ought to be fifty
he looked at her for a minute and then
ms hand went down in his pocket and came
out with dollar bill the only one

the other girls call her by that name
please ia Ike this and go to a show, or get
some candy-or something-Merry Christ
mas and he went to the cashier Maid bis
check and passed out into the street
When he got back to his desk he took the
remaining thirty-fve cents from his pocket
and Soliloquized:
She is a good little sort I guess I'll
have to pass up the show tonight. Didn't
want to go much, anyhow wonder how
she knew that felt that way,''

Popularity OF Green in Millinery.

stitched over in rows about half an inch
distant from each other. The crown is
rather wide with fiat top, and the hat
rests on band of gray velvet. The trim

the right side of the brim on its edge so
