this kind. He says he intends TO leave
for his native land shortly after the
New Year. never TO return. Critic
doesn't look like the clean cut young
man who fought George Dixon some
years ago. His hair is snowy white.

Critic was and is an unlettered fell

to watch as long as 1t is free from
hippodroming. He says it is now up
20 the grapplers themselves TO revive
the game which they themselves
slaughtered. HUMPHREYS has pulled off
several big carnivals in Gotham, and
all have proved a huge success. He in

Joe has his own troubles with the

When arranging his first carnival he

THE REAL DIARY OF A CHORUS GIRL ;
WHO PLAYS IN SPOKANE THIS WEEK

must have looked pretty good
from the front row last night
though, for got another bid to eat
when went through the mail to-
day. 1t was from a red haired
young child millionaire, with an in.
growing face and a chin which he
seemed trying to hide. He was in
the front row last night, dressed
like cross between an Italian ban.
dit and an English groom, and he
wrote like this:
Dear Miss Van Meter: was in
the front row last night and ad-
mired you so much that thought
would write and ask you to supper
tonight. l will be at the show to-
night. Please wear red rose ii
you will go. Ardently, HAROLD"
Well what I did to him cured
him, I'll bet 1t was cruel but neces
sary.
sent him word to be at the stage
door with a closed carriage and
when | came out with his red rose
to get in and drive away quickly, as
/ couldn't afford to get the other
girls jealous.
Well put our colored maid in
my cloak. gave her red rose. and
Harold handed her into the carriage
and they drove away.
He was just trying to put his arm
around her when they drove under
the electric light, and Sophie drop
ped her veil. She says he swore
something horrid" and jumped out
of the carriage, and beat it.
You will. will Won?

A little insight into the mysteries
of chorus girls life is afforded by
a page taken from the diary of Miss
Maybelle Van Meter of "The Red
Mill company, which will be at the
Auditorium this week. 1t makes
out the chorus girls a bit more hui
man than they are probably sup
posed to be and just a little less
naughty.
April 1S.-I got note last night
that thought was from a live one.
1t was the greatest laugh I've had
since Camille La Willis pads slipped
and she pranced out in the Wed
ding Bells number looking like a
giraffe or a camel, or whatever
those animals are that have Jumps
all over their legs.
This guy writes would go to sup
per with him, and, being hungry,
piped off his clothes and see they're
good enough not to excite suspicion
that I've got Cousin Reuben on the
way to the country fair, and says
yes.
Well, he's all to the good as far
as the grub goes, but what do you
think he wants me to do? Start a
chorus girl branch of the Humane
society.
If he'd ever played seven one
night stands in a week with re-
hearsal every afternoon we weren't
on the cars and couple of 5 a. m.
jumps thrown in just to break the
monotony of our uneventful lives,
he wouldn't have been so foolish.
