I said ''dashed on.' but to be
exact, only one gay show girl
dashed. Notorietv, the law and a
vaudeville audience on tiptoe held
no terrors for Miss Conrad; but
from the very first Miss Graham
showed her fearfulness. 1t affect
ed her primarily in the lungs. She
could not breathe. Being rather
short and plump, the affliction
caused amusement at the start.
Miss Conrad romped along In tall
and easy graceful angularity, but
Miss Graham puffed and blushed
and suffered pitifully. Neither
could sing above the shrill whisper

were familiar with the swinging
arms that eloquently express the

struggled through their first song

something was said (my conscience
will not let me say sung) about
calling IN officer The guffaw
that greeted this visiblv encouraged
Miss Conrad, though the short and
conscious puffiness OF the Graham

NEW YORK, July 29.-The
majority of foreigners are in
clined to rate Americans as a peo-
pie who Judge everything by
monetary standard; and II they
are at all right the stellar debut
of Lillian Graham and Ethel Con-
rad Is the leading stage event Of
several months. 1t is understood
that the women now in the clutches
Of the law for shooting W. E. D.
Stokes receive large salaries; as
show girls (their former Legitimate
positions) they probably earned
somewhere between eighteen and
twenty-five dollars week, which
was fitting pay for their prettiness
and chic.
The women are given chief place
on the bill of leading New York
vaudeville theater, Performers
who really entertain appear before
them and after them. Their en-
trance is heralded by the liveliest
tune the orchestra can remember.
I saw them when they first appeared
"a matinee to which crowds pushed
in. Several of their songs | know
to have been old ones, and all
were familiar, think. They dashed
onto the stage TO very rollicklng
air. Both were pretty in an over
dressed, chic. ultra Broadway way.
We were aware that both were
show girls. but by their very
swing we would have guessed 1t.
The Conrad woman wore a close
fitting ''iingerie" gown, over
blue, with q hat to match, and Miss
Graham was similarly gowncd,. her
undertakes, however, being of an
innocent and timid pink, Both
carried parasols with long handles:
The costumes may be best described
as not of cut and pattern favored
by Queen Mary.

about 1417. Berlin was without pave

ATHENA WAS AN EASY VICTOR
With Two PLAYERS Crippled, School
Team Defeats Weston 27 to II.

1t was all Athena at the Gymnasium
Friday evening, aud with the long
end of ~ to II score dangling at
their belts. Athena High took an easy
victory from Weston High.
Athena showed class right from the
start when on the third pass OF the
ball, Sharp shot neat basket for the
home squad. In exactly one minutes
time. Glen Dudley had duplicated the
play, and from then on until the tall
centerpiece of the home aggregation
became injured when he collided with
the lower tier Of seats on the north
side Of the building, he was easily the
whole show of the game, tossing has
ket after basket with scientific pre-
cisiou.
The first half ended with Weston
pretty much 10 the cellar. Lansdalt
having connected with two baskets
only, and falling down on tossing
several fouls. Indeed. fouls for 9
time flew so thick to Weston's lineup

by the flight or forestalled by the
alertness of Shangle, that only two in
the entire game were called in Ath-
ena's favor. Had Lansdale Eeen in
form. he might have won the game
by throwing fouls. As it was. be
missed the chanoe-and lost.
At the beginning of the second half.
MoEwen had the misfortune TO throw
bis ankle out and was replaced by
Worthiugton. Weston took brace
and came back with some Of her old
time ginger and for time Athena
was kept busy breaking it up" toi
the lads from over the hill. and al
that, basket now and then would
creep into the score through the team
work of the opposition.
On the whole, Athena has muot
better team this year than last. Dud
ley, Sharp and McEwen played clev
er game. For Weston, Lansdale out
pointed his team mates. though tb,
lineup appears to be fairly well bal
