goodness In the chorus ranks. much
decency and much goodness OF heart.
Why. do you know that many Of the
musical comedies carry a chaperon to

But do you know that If there is an
episode out in the real chorus Of life,
or an ensemble or an escapade in
which a chorus girl plays a star part,
the public takes quick notice, the pub.
lie gaps. And the public is quick to
read any lines. any story pertaining
to tho show girl. There is an unde-
niable interest conferred in the chorus
girl. Lawyers and doctors and mer.
chants and ministers are interested.
And why is this? First, because the
chorus girl is sort of cartooo; she
satirizes or caricature certain In
stincts that lie dormant in the general
breast. She throws her glove in the

like to do it--she snaos her fingers

Mirage Off coney island.

From the New York sun.
Early marine observers on The
snowy beach at coney Island yester
day morning had a fine glimpse of air
shipping. The sun was about an hour
high, the breeze light, and the sea
had Just enough of lop on to give
a slightly scalloped horizon. Strung
out in order from the sun track there
were seen coming in tern, fisher.
mans sioop. schooner with topsails
drawing, and a liner making her way
up the main ship channel. This little
feet in the offing was held in a mirage
which lifted every vessel above the
horizon by about ten or twelve dc
grees. and left a strip of clear air be
meath every water line. Thus float
ing in air. they stood up the harbor
on their way like an argosy in the
sky. :
All at once something happened to
the meteorology which had produced
the vision. some invisible air current
rolled athwart the line Of vessels
First the liner dropped back into the
sea, then the topsail schooner, then
the fisherman. and last of all the tern;
one could almost imagine the splash
as the ships Of the air returned
prosaically to the ocean.
