SOCIETY NOW GOING CRAZY
OVER CHIMPANZEES
Especial to The Sentinel. ]


London, April 2s.-Nearly every
week one hears of a new hobby or
craze which osciety has hitched on to.
Chimpanzees and umbrella handles!
These are the latest crazes.
If you want to be in fashion over
here Just now, you must own a Chin
panzee as a pet. 1nquiring of this
fad of a well known livestock fancier
in the West end, correspondent was
told that chimpanzees were fast be-
coming the fashion,
These monkeys" he said, which
come chiefly from Africa, have per-
force to remain with us for some time
before they are salable as pets. They
are trained to sit at the dinner table,
and to wear clothes in becoming
fashion, and are educated to general
ly comport themselves more or less
like well-behaved children. When
that stage is reached we find a ready
sale for them, chiefly to society peo-
pie. at anything from $3.50 to $500,
and even more"
The umbrella handle is likely to
become an even more expensive fad.
Already they have appeared in the
West end, and jewellers now are busy
preparing for the summer with jew
eled handles for smart society danes
parasols and for the canes of their
gallant consorts. A correspondent
saw set of six jeweled parasol ham
dies so constructed that they may be
screwed into any parasol stick, the
result being a fresh parasol handle
for every day of the week save Sun
day.
For some years past" said the
manager of the umbrella firm show
ing these handles, 1.-The topaz, rubies,
diamonds, pearls, or amethysts have
been growing in popularity, especially
among our American customers.
Ones purse must fairly be elastic.
One such handle alone may cost any
thing from $50 to $500"
The craze for expensive walking
stick for men seems to be growing
also. and as much as 81 900 has re-
Gently been paid for single cane by
reason of its jeweled head.
At last, too, mere man Is to share
in the Chanticler fashion. 1t is, how
ever, only a minor sartorial part that
he is to play and the innovation is
confined to the tie.
The Chanticler tie is made in a
plain colored material and has rep
resentation of rooster embroidered
upon It Just below the knot.
There is one wide distinction be-
tween the Chanticler fashions as they
have been edopted to the attire of
men and women. In the case of
feminine dress Chanticler fashions
are within the reach of those only

NEW COMPANY
 AT THE BIJOU

A new musical comedy company comes to the Bijou this week to replace the Woolfolk company. The Harlan Musical Comedy company, with Harry Gibbon. Dan Marble and that great quartet, will be the attraction in "The Knckerbocker Girl" The Mobile Register said of the company and the play:
 If you like jingling melodies, that start you whistling, good clean comedy, grace full dancing and pretty girls, don't fail 10 see The Knickerbocker Girl a musical comedy in two acts, offered by the Harlan company. It is by long odds the best musical comedy of the present stock sea- son, is handsomely mounted in two-acts. and the production taken as whole Tor light musical entertainment is sure to please everybody this week. The Knick- erbocker Girl like the majority of musi- cal comedies, has little or no plot, serv- ing merely for the introduction of numer- ous songs and dances, and plenty of good comedy, all skilfully executed by the popular members of this company. The music is of the kind that sets an audience humming and whistling, and keeps them marking time with their feet.

 This is story of prehistoric ages which tells of a savage wife-hunter who went In quest of the woman with whom he wished to mate; he proposed to knock her in the head, as was the custom. In fact he intended to knock her down senseless, just like all the rest of the boys in, with and of the club, did.
 But while this was before the time of the slip between the cup and the lip. our hot-footed wife-hunter falls down. just the same, and breaks his leg and lies helpless in the forest. Serves him right
