Murphy went in to get nip before

his conversation, was Enthusiastically
English.
He was delivering a TRADE against
home rule, and capped the climax by
declaring that Robert Emmett wasn't
an Irishman at all-that he came from
Sweden.
Murphy bristled like q mad tiger
as he walked over to the Englishman.

demanded Murphy.

man.
Murphy's fist crashed against the
seaman's jaw, and he was knocked
out so thoroughly that they called the
ambulance
whats up?" asked the doctor, who
came with the ambulance.
Him that lies there" explained
Murphy, had the nerve to say that
Robert Immitt was a Swede"
The explanation was sufficient and
the ambulance hurried to the hospital.
What ails him." asked the nurse,
whose name was Ellen Clancy. The
doctor explained.
The next morning Murphy dropped
into the hospital and saw the nurse,
introducing himself as the man who
had hit the Englishman.
"How's your patient?" he asked.
Hes no better, thank hiven, Mr..

It was true. Little Idalia, still weak

Even when another month had

CHINESE SMUGGLING
 FEATURED AT FOX'S

The Yellow Traffic" four reels of film from the Blache studios, dealing with Chinese smuggling along rough and secluded sections of our coast, is the big feature on todays program at Foxs theater Of all the trying prob lems this government has to contend with, the checking of the yellow traf- fic is, perhaps the most difficult to solve. Comparatively little is gener- ally known of that evil and this graphic depletion of the activity of notorious smugglers will be absorbing ly interesting and instructive.
 The balance of the big photo-play bill includes some of the best and most recently released comedy and dramas and as whole two solid hours of eN- cellent entertainment is in store for those who will visit Fox's theater to- day.

Press Agents Tell of lheatrical Bills
ANOTHER GOOD BILL,
 KEENEY'S THIS WEEK

Warm weather and the numerous holiday attractions elsewhere made practically no inroads on the attend ance at Keeneys last week, capacity audiences being the rule every day. A high class bill, with exceptionally fine photo-play attractions prevented any falling off in the box office receipts. The management has made plans for similar conditions this week and vaudeville lovers will no doubt be we'll satisfied with the entire program
 Belmont, Darrell and company will present as the headliner a comedy sketch which has been featured in the vaudeville houses of New York, Chi cago and other large cities during the winter The sketch is said to be ex- ceedingly funny and is generally re- garded as q laugh-producer of first class.
 Will Carpenter, the famous roller skater, will be among the perform CTS this week. Besides giving an exhibi- t1on of his skill in fancy skating, Car penter will show what strides have been made in roller skating tangos and other new dances.
 Kelly and Judge, known the world over as vaudevilles great knockabout omedians, have been billed as an extra attraction. These famous mirth- makers should prove a valuable addi- ton to the program.
 The Regent Trio, singers and com edians, and Booth and Leander, the popular cyclists, will assist in enter taining the audience.
 Several motion picture features will be given during the week in addition to the Hearst-Selig weekly, shown to- night; the Pathe review, on Wednes- day; ''The Perls of Pauline,'' Thurs day and Billy Mace in a new comedy on Friday.

z When woman appeared at the first of the Belmont Park races this season in green and white frock, Of which the bodice was all belt, every- body turned to stare after her. Not because of the frock or the sleeves, which stopped an inch above the el- bow, or the jet bracelet worn on her right wrist but because of the pro- portions of her girdle. It wrinkled about her figure from waist1ine to half way to the shoulders; at front centre it ran to point two inches above the bust, and it buttoned straight down the front. All that saved it from looking like an 1880 basque was it's lack of shoulders and sleeves. A mar row suspender strap supported the green taffeta basque-girdle over white tulle underblouse, and the treat ment was reversed in the underskirt of green taffeta and overskirt of flower embroidered tulle
 Revived Basque of 1880.
 But the 1880 basque, as reproduced a few years ago iii David Belasco's production of "The Grand Army Man." was not nearly so attractive as this 1914 affair, with it's white tulle filed in underblouse and it's cord finished collar. iEf .-....
 Precisely the same type of girdle in hydrangea colored taffeta belongs to frock in white silk, striped with blue of the hydrangea tone. The ef- feet is wholly different from the one in green and white, as headed striped 1ounce breaks the silhouette definitely at the hips and at the ankles merges with the stripes of the underskirt. The three-quarter sleeves belong to a bodice, the stripes of which slightly slant to accord with the line of a white ruche-filled neck, from the lower point of which start the black pin-striped white buttons, which close the girdle in old-fash- toned basque manner.
