A number Of paintings by Warren T. Rol-
Inns, the painter OF Indians, are being shown
at the Blanchard galleries in an informal
exhibition which will continue until Feb. IL.
A collection Of canvases by this artist was
exhibited at the SteckeI gallery earlier in
the year and attracted unusual attention
Several Of the paintings shown at that tliile
are in the present exhibition and those WIN
saw them then are glad of second oppof-
+1ni+v as thew only gain in interest from
reneated views. These are supplefnehteu u
by a number of new Indian SUBJECTS anu
colorful landscapes from the desert country.
Other landscapes painted in the vicinity OF
the artists studio at Arrowhead springs
are lower in tone and possess a hne atihos-
pheric quality. Two recent indian pictures
however seem to dominate the eXhlpltloH'

many that are both rare and beautiful me

POLICE CAPTURE
DAYLIGHT ROBBER
PRISONER SAID TO HAVE AD'
MITTED CRIMES
Found with Pockets Filled with jew
eIry-TelIs Officer He Did
Work In WestIake
District

That the daylight burglar who has
been operating successfully in the
Westlake district Of Los Angeles for
the past two months is at last in GUS
tody is the opinion of the police as the
result of the arrest last night of a
young man giving the name of Henry
Leggens. Leggens was arrested on
East First street by Patrolman John
Fitzgerald while trying to dispose OF
jewelry in pawnshop.
The patrolman had followed Leg
gems for several blocks and was con-
vinced that the young man was acting
IN a suspicious manner. When taken
to police headquarters, it Is said, Leg
gems broke down and confessed that
he was guilty of many burglaries, but
his confession was not made until
many articles OF jewelry had been
taken from his pockets.
Leggens is said to have admitted
that his depredations were confined
to the Westlake district and also
agreed tG accompany Patrolman FItA-
Cerald this morning and point out inc
numerous houses which he has robbed
When searched. two valuable Ma
sonic pins five gold watches a num-
Der of gold and diamond rings, several

and other jewelry of cheaper nature
were found in his possession.

the loot which he has stolen in the
last two months is hidden. The pris-
oner is 21 years old, innocent appear

his escapades and the easy manner
in which he eluded the dragnets of the
police. He gave his address as the

entertainment the air of "go" which
is so necessary.
1t must also be remembered that very
few men take the trouble to answer a
ball invitation, and it is for this reason
that many hostesses underline the let
ters r. S. V. P. three or four times in
red ink
Even when the invitation is accepted
il does not at all follow that the re-
cinient will appear on the scene. Some
thing better may turn. up. Another
hostess may take it into her head to
give dance the same evening-pos-
siblv by verbal invitation only, or it
may be visiting card will be sent out
on the morning of the dance; then the
moor hostess who has issued her cards
weeks beforehand and invited her
friends to come and make merry will
find herself neglected and with a
band playing to a half-empty room.
Cost of Balls
As I have already said. a ball Is a
very expensive affair and often costs
between a4OO and $500. There is a
band to be engaged, supper ordered for
an unknown quantity, and flowers are
nowadays very heavy item in the
expenses of such an entertainment.
There are not nearly SO many con-
certs or musical parties given in pri-
vate houses as there used to be. 1 may
be wrong, but l fancy the costly enter
tainments of this kind that were start
ed some fifteen years ago have quite
frightened ordinary hostesses out of
the field. How often has one heard
or read of some function of this kind
costing as much as $1,000 or $4,000,
where a prima donna has been en-
gagged at a fee of 500 guineas, with
other artists on an equally high scale.
Dinner parties are not given to the
extent they were in the late reign, and
no doubt restaurant life is responsible
for this. 1t is easier to ask a dozen
friends to dine at some great hotel and
leave the menu to a waiter than it is
to order dinner at home. Nevertheless
although it is all very well to bid casua
acquaintances to dine at restaurant
with a band drowning all attempts al
conversation, many people, one is sure
would appreciate the honor of being
hidden to their friends own home ano
surroundings.
Dinner table conversation, moreover
is likely to be a lost art if the fashior
for music lasts much longer.

YOUNG MEN HAVE LOST
ART OF ENTERTAINING
Hostess Is Inclined to Wonder Why
She Should Waste Time on
UnappreciatiVe Friends

LONDON, Feb. $50 much is heard
today of the decay of entertaining
that one is led TO inquire if there are
any particular reasons that would
,Iead to neglect of older methods and
customs by the modern hostess. IT
there is a. tendency to dispense with
the conventional methods of entertain
ing when invitations were dispatched
many weeks in advance. it must be
remembered that the motor car and
even the telephone are making con-
siderable changes in our customs.
Since it has become quite easy to keep
an engagement forty or fifty miles
away, there is not the need for a
fixed season in London that there used
to be, and the telephone makes for
much more elasticity in social arrange
ments
Nevertheless, one is tempted to
think that want of energy has a very
great deal to do with it. People are
bored to a far greater extent than they
were fifteen or twenty years ago.
The young man of the present day
is decidedly Stacker than his father
or grandfather was. He doesn't want
to do this or that 1t is a bore to
dance; it Is a bore to make himself
civil and polite to those about him.
If one asks any hostess of the pres
ent day why she doesn't want to give
balls or dances, nine times out of ten
she will complain of the difficulty OF
getting men to attend these functions.
They may look in" for supper, but
they care little or nothing for the
pretty row of wall flowers" that so
often sadly decorate a ballroom.
Can one wonder if the hostess asks
why she should spend so much trouble
on unappreciative friends and ac-
duaintances? A modern ball is a very
costly and troublesome affair. If a
hostess has a house sufficiently large
to ask couple of hundred friends to
come and dance, she may have TO issue
at least 500 invitations to make sure
of filing her rooms and giving the

Him Butchers Debtor

SALEM, n. J.. Feb. IA farmer
brought two hogs to local butcher
yesterday and offered them for sale. A
price was quickly agreed on, and the
farmer said he would sell, but wanted
the hams and shoulders. To this the
butcher was willing, and after the
weight had been taken the desired
parts of the hogs were cut off and
handed to the farmer who asked for
the balance coming to him. After fig
uring a moment the butcher replied,
"You owe me $3.50" And the farmer
had to pay it.
The butcher had bought the hogs at
wholesale price and charged the farm
er retail rates for the parts he re-
served.
In effect tIiei farmer had made the
butcher a present of two hogs, and
had then paid him $2.S5 for certain
parts of them.
