that Antonio and Mr.. Edeson were at
tending. With two friends after the
performance they repaired to a noted
cafe for refreshments. The Indians
remarkable appearance attracted the
attention of a young "gilded fool" who
directed a battery Of remarks toward
Mr.. Blossoms table. The climax was
reached when the young man stood up
and, with flushed face and tangled ian

The Indian, a man of tremendous

hands upon his insulter. placed him

Miss Beatrice Cameron gave a spe-

House" in Philadelphia. Ibsen was
practically unknown then in this coun-
try, even to the advanced minority
To the large public he meant abso-
lutely nothing. At , O'Clock on the aft

theatre was crowded with nursemaids

refrained from selling two behind-the-

The plan to provide escorts for lone
ladies' attending the Sothern-Marlove
performances in New York has met
with much favor. W. ]. hampton, the
celebrated "yawp" writer on the New
York Sun, comments on the plan in the
following fashion:
Oh, say,
you'll never get gay
With the La
Dies that way.
What?
Well, I'll bet you'll not.
The way for you
To cover the ground
Is to hire q bus
And send it around
To gather them up
Before the show.
For the ladies love
To be 'bussed, you knowf
If you don't know 1t,
It's time you were
Finding il out.
See?
