Fables Of Everyday Life
BiIne hoy and the Tango Lady.
By JULIA CHANDLER MANZ.

ignore It she turned to Billie Boy with
sarcastic smile:
WELL SUPPOSE YOU SING 1T
NOW: YOU HAVE CHANTED 1T
QUITE LONG ENOUGH" she said in
tone which stung the heart Of Billie
Boy so much that he looked at her
through wide, hurt eyes, his lips quiver-
ing piteously. Then, with an expression
OF utter bewilderment, he turned away.
The sarcasm had been quite effective,
for he had made no further requests
when. half an hour later, The Nurse
gave him the drink for which he had so
suffered and started on her homeward
journey
Reached the End of Endurance.
At the edge of the park the exhausted
little legs ached until it was impossible
for Billie Boy to keep back the tears,
let come what may, nor did the threats
of a dark goblin-inhabited closet as
punishment when he reached home de-
ter them, and The Nurse was so exas-
perated that she threw judgment to the
winds and slapped the round, soft cheek
OF the four-yesr-old baby until his cries
attracted the attention of all who passed
that way, although they each decided
that they had better not interfere-that
is, until The-Lady-Of Of-Love-For-Li Little
Children happened to pass that way.
She told The Nurse a thing or two
and got a deal of impudence for her
trouble, as well as a point blank refusal
of the address of the wee lads home, and
so it happened that The-Lady-Of-Love-
For-Little- Children followed at a dis
Greet distance until The Nurse carried
the sobbing boy into his own home,
where, little later, the unknown friend
OF Billie Boy rang the bell and asked
for his mother only to find her still not
at home.
When evening had come The-Lady-
Observation-Disclosures called the
Tango Lady over the phone; gave her
full account of what had occurred at
the edge of the park. and said she had
felt she ought to let Billie Boys mother
know.
Back, like a cold wave from Iceland,
came the voice of the Tango Lady tell
ing the informer that she didn't believe
a word of it,. and wouldn't she be
pleased to mind her own business"
After which the Tango Lady hung up
the receiver with an impatient bang and
went back to her preparations for the
beautiful dance of the evening in which
she quite forgot her irritating cxpe-
rience
And as for The-Lady-Of-Love-For-
Little -Children-well she drew a chair
into the shadow by the window, and sat
very still watching the clouds chase each
other across the moonlit sky: her mind
filled with wonder concerning the sort
OF mother who thinks her duty done
and her work ended when she has
brought her baby into the world-such
a mother for instance as the Tango
Lady.

tended far up the street with the polite
ness os the well bred man that he evil
IDENTIFY was. Our tickets were taken by
a clean-cut man in a neat, well-fitting
uniform. and when we entered the foyer
dapper director. also in uniform, po-
litely turned us over to a spic and span
usher, who conducted US to our box.
Settling comfortably in my seat. l OBJ
served that the theater was handsomely
decorated. with huge marble columns
supporting the balconies. and orchestra
chairs of the most approved modern
make.
! had begun to think that the Judge
had played a trick on us. but glancing 1t
the program that idea was dispelled by
the announcement that the show was
being given by Bert Baker and His Bon
Tons Company" presenting n two-act
burlesaue in FIVE scenes, called My
Wife's Husbands" 1t was burlesque, all
right. but there remained absolutely no
semblance of the thing that 1 had seen
years ago that masqueraded under the
appellation of burlesque.
The scenery was massive and finely
painted, and the stage. which was set TO
represent the interior o. a fashionable
hotel lobby. was furnished with huge
leather lounges with gold chairs all
great rugs such as one would see in
any perfectly appointed lobby. had to
:ook at the program again.
stage was full of exceedingly pretty
girls. beautifully costumed, and moving
gracefully about. singing lively tunes of
the popular sort, with voices clear. in
tune, and of evident cultivation. The
principal comedian was an artist of the
fir-t rank, and kept the audience in
constant roars Of laughter. 1 have never
heard such hearty, unrestrained laugh
ter in any theater in my life. Then came
the soubrette, a remarkably agile young
woman, beautiful OF face and figure, and
possessing a sweet singing voice and
dancing skill-and then the leading
woman:
Here was where surprise at this bur
lesque" performance reached the limit.
She was a young woman of remarkable
beauty and poise, gowned in the latest
creations" and wearing them ito the
manner born" Her voice was of re-
markable range and sweetness and she
sang with manifest cultivation.
For two hours / sat admiring the show
and marvelling at the great transforma-
ton that has taken place in burlesque
since the old days when. as a boy out
for a frolic, gave up the little old dime
for seat in the gallery to see the
girls"
Incidental to the burlesque there were
specialties rendered by clever acrobats;
a couple OF young women did the Apache
and the Barbary Coast dances as we'll as
I had ever seen them, and Mr.. Baker
himself contributed as meritorious
as one could wish to hear in
the very highest class vaudeville theater.
The whole scheme of present-day bur-
lesque impressed me greatly. From first
to last there was not an Objectionable
word uttered nor the slightest approach
to vulgarity in action or glance. Bur
lesque, as We used to know II, seems TO
have passed away, and in its place there
has risen up a form Of amusement TO
which men and women may 20 without
the slightest misgiving.
II was new one on me. Thanks,
Judge. JACK LONDON.

blair Lee Smiling
SPHINX OF senate
Junior Member from Maryland Rapid
ly Is Making a Reputation
for Silence.
SOMETIMES TALKS OF WEATHER

Already they have dubbed Senator Blair
Lee. of Maryland. with a nickname It's
Sunny ny-Silent-Smiling" Blair. which. the
dubbers admit, is somewhat lengthy but
alliterative and descriptive. It is the
product OF accumulated observances.
First IL was noticed that the JUNIOR
Senator from Maryland seemed inclined
always to be amiable. There was nothing
about his first appearance In the hall Of
the august Senate to suggest that he was
over-depressed by the augustness. Almost
the first thing remarked upon by his col
leagues was his laugh, a sort Of cacnIn-
nation, 50 to speak, unrestrained. but not
loud Other members OF the Senate were
prepared to agree that his disposition
was sunny.
1t was then up TO the correspondents
to take Senator Lees measure. They
have not completed taking it by long
odds. but as far as they have gone they
have agreed that as a voluntary source
of news the Marylander is likely to prom
ise as encouraging a subject as a Chesa-
peake oyster. Up to the present writing
Senator Lee has not volunteered a para
graph OF news since the day he was ad-
mitted to the Senate and gave to the
expectant correspondents list of his an
cestors. Occasionally he will remark
guardedly concerning the weather. out
even then he prefixes to his utterance a
laugh suggesting that he should not be
taken too seriously
Senator Lees smile, however. is al
ways present, and in order that IL might
find recognition in the nickname the hy-
phenated product has been agreed upon.
The correspondents are not the only
ones in Washington who are puzzled by
the Senator's non-committal nature.
Members OF his own delegation in Con-
gress, who have lunched with him. de-
clare that he is a delightful host. smiling.
gracious and extremely polite. but never
no never. confiding. He keeps 'em guess
ing.
One day the Senator is at the White
House, slipping into the Presidents pri-
vate sanctum or whispering into the eaI
of Secretary Tumulty; another day he is
in Secretary Bryan's office: tomorrow
somewhere else about the departments,
but his comings and his goings are ever
mysterious. He has none of the freed ON
of older Senators Of discussing little mat
tiers of patronage and the like with the
newspaper men. He only smiles and oc-
casionally beams. So
It's Sunny y-Silent-Smiling" Blair.

MODEL COMMUNITY PLANNED.
British Capitalists Acquire $4,000
Acres In AIberts.

Edmonton. Alberta. March 12.-British
capitalists, represented by Aibin Hunt
and Hal Carleton. Of London, have Just
acquired 1900 acres Of land adjoining
the town, of Kinsella. seventy-ive miles
east of Edmonton. where a model rural
community and demonstration farm Is TO
be established. The plan is to teach
oettlers from Great Britain how to grow
live stock. grain, grasses and produce at
a profit The tract will be operated on
cooperative basis.
Mr.. Carleton announced that the nrst
work will be to erect houses for set
tiers. build fences and break the land.
This win begin within thirty days about
the time the influx Of British immigrants
Is under way In this part OF the coun-
try. He added: d.
THE novelty OF the plan lies in the
fact that our principals. all men OF af-
fairs In England. will endeavor to at
tract particularly those who have had
no previous experience In farming. IL
the farm is the success we believe It
will be, the hackers OF the movement
will purchase larger tracts In the Kin
sella district and other parts of Central
Alberta"

JACK LONDON GOES
TO BURLESQUE SHOW
Greatly Impressed with Changes of
Past Decade. He Writes About His
Evenings Entertainment.
Evenings En-

Theatrical times have certainly chang
ed. l remember, not so long ago, that
burlesque was a vague memory of my
wild and sil youth. when one went. as
to a stag party, see things that one
would not care for his womankind to see.
The audience was quite wholly male. OF
course. there were the low comedians
two Dutchmen, or two Hebrews, or an
Irishman and a Dutchman, impossibly
made UP, with grotesque and repulsive
facial decoration, large red noses green
whiskers, and fright wigs. And. of course,
their dialogue explained the absence of
women in the audience.
Then there was a soubrette, a bleached
blond. with a raspy voice, whose tin
selled skirts were s short as her knowl-
edge OIL grammar, and as atrocious as her
prom 7ciation. Ar the 'prima donna
fat woman rather run down, who quite
casually breat ed in the midmost of a
word, and who just as casually permitted
her voice to quarrel with the key, and
with all the keys.
And the chorus! Ten or twelve women,
ungainly fat, whom the manager, with
unerring taste, had selected to charm
the dolts that constituted the audience.
surely, one ndQ 10 Dc very young UT
exceedingly stupid to be charmed by
such choruses. The entertainment was
void of originality, consisting of bits"
from the Bowery varieties, vulgar and in
decent. The "cooch" dancer, or worse,
- the applause; slap-stick and knock
aroused the heartiest
applause. But the telling events in
such entertainments were when the police
pulled the house.
A few nights ago. while dining with
my friend Judge Aaron ]. Levy, the
Judge suggested witnessing performance
at the Columbia Theater. 1 knew from
the advertisements in the daily newspa-
pers that this was a burlesque house. and
I r-~-.cred at such a proposal from my
companion, but when ] ex-
pressed my surprise the judge said,
why. you won't see a cleaner or bet
ter show in town.
So. for the first time in many years
found myself en- route to a "burlesque"
show. 1 felt like a naughty boy, but 1
was relying on the judge.
At the entrance / was struck by its
perfect resemblance to other high class
theaters in the neighborhood, and, pass
ing into the lobby, observed the treas
urer in the box office window arrayed
in evening clothes and serving the we'll
dressed people in a long line that ex-
