rupts their conversation by entering and seeing the two deeply engaged in ex- plaining something to one another. A break of the engagement, which is later cemented with the advice of Neamata and Jacques, follows. and the last scene sees Octavia and Bruce leaving for civ ilization together with Neamata and Jacques remaining in the wilderness. After their departure, Neamata learns of her white blood and chooses to stay with her Indian parents and French husband in preference to going to her people.
 Miss Clara Greenwood as the White Squaw," in the first act used perfect English on one or two occasions, but managed to hold her French accented English fairly well throughout the rest of the events She is a pretty girl and in one scene when she pleads for Octa- via to Bruce, is at her best She Is vivacious and the most interesting per- sonage in the play.
 Miss Pearl Hart as Octavia. does some of her lines well and is rather a nice looking girl in her blue costume only. Henry Edwards. as Bruce Marshal, has some of the strongest lines of the piece to utter and does it ve<y well. but has failed to put any individuality into a character that demands masculine fas- cinations of the first water to have won the love of two such decided types as the two sisters. Eugene Weber, as the French trapper, falls far short of what could be made a delightful characterize tion. Bernard Castle, as the Indian father, conflicts with the usual type the public is accustomed to sec but almost redeems himself by stimulating a few smiles from his attempted drinking scene. His wife, portrayed by Adal Barbour, is made up we'll. but does not fill her role with distinction
 The usual matinee performances will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and. Saturday with the evening attractions every night.

At the Biiou

If the play was well acted or the plot conspicuous enough to arouse the interest of the folks out front with the near French accent and the pigeon English of few unconvincingly made up Indians, "The White Squaw," which is booked for this weeks run at the Bijou, might have some reason for ap- bearing on the bill posters as a the atrical attraction.
 The stage setting, which remains for the first two acts unchanged, and Is again introduced for the fourth scene, | Is well worked out to represent the interior of a wigwam, but the Indians | placed there as the inmates have only l a Drowned skin and beaded clothing to link their claims to those roles. The only act in which the scenery is varied is the third, which also furnishes the i best dramatic minute of the drama-or
 rather mellow drama. The story as il is told by the actors hinges on the finding of little white girl by an
 Indian couple who rear her as their own child. She and her father went into the woods when she was but a very young girl on a hunting excursion
 but the father was killed by the forest beasts.
 | The time of the play is laid for the | early part of the last century in the wilds of northern Michigan and when | the first act is opened the little White | girl has grown into young squaw, 1 Neamata, and fallen in with an English

The conservatives in the United States Senate ara shocked by report which comes from Colorado to the effect that Mrs. Sarah Tlatt Decker of Colorado may be elected to the Senate from that state. Mrs. Decker has been for years leader in the club life of Colorado women, and was mainly influential in obtaining the ballot for women in that state once she was president of the National Federation | of Womea's clubs.
 l In reform movements she has won not able victories. She helped initiate the pure food reform, which had it's incep- ton in Colorado and has since become national in scope. When Judge Ben E. Lindsey famous for his method of deal- ing with juvenile delinquents, was turned down by both political parties, Mrs Deck CT became his champion, enlisted the women for him and triumphantly re- elected him on an independent ticket She has been inetrumental in developing new methods of dealing with wayward girls. These aud other things have made her ex- tremely popular
 The constitution makes no objection to st, woman in the United States Senate, it's use of the word ''he" being generic in it's definition of eligibility for election to tbat body. 1t provides that senator must be 30 years old and nine years resident of the state. Mrs. Decker meets those es- sential requirements
