Youngsters Dream of Stageland

Desire to lead the life of an actor caused
four Cincinnati youngsters to leave their
homes and follow the Knickerbocker Bur-
lesquers, who are showing at the Empire
this week. The boys followed the show
from Cincinnati to Louisville and from
there to this city.
The manager of the company notified
the Indiana polls police of their escapade
yesterday. Bicyclemen Askins and Duncan
went to the stage door of the Empire and
captured two of the boys, John Othis and

Differing in effect from the Egyptian or
naments brought out last winter but none
the less Egyptian is a new belt pin in two
or three kinds of gold. In the center is an
Egyptian head dore in relief.
An unusual ornament is I'm the Egvptian
coloring. and consists of three small shield
shaped medallions set in the center with
immense square, blue stones, while smaller
jewels of rich colors are set about the
edge. The pretty ornament is finished with
slides, and is effective either at the waist
or throat
Some of the newer white China silk waists
show insertions and medallions of colored
lace instead of the all-white effects OF last
season, and emphasize the fact that note
of color will appear on most of the white
frocks and waists of this year. a number
of the newer laces, even in the lower-priced
ones, show bit of color introduced daint-
lily and with exceeding attractive effect.

The handsome buckles and pins in the
Egyptian colorings, brilliant yet subdued
hues on dull metal, have not lost their IA

accessories are shown in this effect. The
solid brooches and buckles are still dis

The touch Of gold, which threatens to be-
come inevitable this spring, is appearing
even on wash materials and dress aces

Jewels done in gold thread. 1t is TO be

The ships were rapidly closing when
Seymour's keen eye detected dash of
color and a bit of flutfering drapery
on the poop of this line of battle ship.
Wondering, he examined it through his
glass.
why, tits a woInan!" he exclaimed.
Something familiar in the appearance
made his heart give sudden throb,
but he put away the idea which came
to him as preposterous, and then, step
ping forward to the break of the poop,
he called out:
MY lads, there is a woman on yon
ship, on the poop, way aft. We don't
fight with women. Have a care, there
aim at her, and spare that part of the
deck where she stands in the fight if
you can. Pass the word along"

The Randolph had the weather gauge
of the Yarmouth by this time, and
Seymour shifted his helm slightly,
rounded In his braces little and ran
down with the wind little free and
on a line parallel to the course Of his
enemy, but going in different direc-
ton. He lifted the glass again to his
eye and looked long and earnestly at
the Woman's figure half hidden by the
rail on the ship. Was it, could 1t be-,
indeed she? Was fate bringing them
into opposition again? 1t was not pos
sible. Trembling violently, he lifted
the glass for further investigation,
when an officer, trumpet in hand,
