Mr.. r. s.. Warning, a wealthy young
man Of New Haven and a graduate OF
Yale last year. Is said to have loudly
announced in a Broadway cafe a few
nights ago that he had been married to
Miss Maud Thomas, a Silver Slipper
show girl. who was a seXtet girl in a
'FloordOra" road company last year.
Miss Maid Thamas is registered at the
Criterion Hotel. a clerk told a reporter
there to-day that Miss Thomas would
not see him and the reporter went next
door and called up Miss Thomas SIS apart
ments on the telephone.
Hello checrily said tho voice at the
Criterion end of the telephone. "Yeth,

Among the members of the Silver

thing serious has happened to Miss
Thomas. She has not yet called for her
weeks salary, which was payable last
Tuesday, and the only way they can
account for that is that she has mar

Heretofore she has always been the

she has been missing since Monday and
the manager of the company does not
know what has become Of her.
Mr. Warnings Doubts.

effectively dulled the curiosity Of
Noah's infamous gang.
The negro grinned at the sight Of
the greenbacks, coming with his newly
discovered freedom. We kept on grim

were grinning, too, over the after taste
of that unexpected dinner. They got
away from their pursuers. but we
didn't begrudge them this good for

Wherever two or three Americans
are gathered together on Thanksgiving
day there is sure to be an elaborate
observance Of the epicurean holiday.
In every foreign capital Thanksgiv-
ing banquet at the American legation
is one of the fixtures in the ambassa-
doris or minister's ceremonial calendar,
and to his official reception are well
coined all of his countrymen residing
abroad or temporarily away from their
own firesides. The American churches
hold religious services, where there are
American churches, and in their alb
sence the natives usually offer their
places of worship to the Americans for
the day. Even in Peking Thanksgiving
day is a notable event. it's observance
shared in by ChristianiZed Cinnamon
and the members of other embassies
than our own.
