A beautiful bouquet of costly hCthouso
flowers lay at the box office Of the
Brandeis theater last night. intended for
Miss Katherine Kaelred, with the COM
pllments or the sutfragists OF Omaha.
Miss Kaelred is somewhere in the pur-
lieus of Broadway, y. v, and so tho
big bunch Of American Beauties was not
delivered TO her, nor is 1t at all likely
it will be.
1t developed after persistent inquiry
that Miss Kaelred has not been with the
company since December S. This very
essential fact was known to tine manager
of the company, Mr.. White, but he pre-
ferred to maintain O profound secrecy
until matters came to showdown on acc
count OF the persistency OF a messenger
boy, who had the bouquet in charge and
who had been commissioned to deliver IT,
Then he admitted that Miss Kaelred
had not been with the company for
week and that the role of Zuleika in
Joseph and His Brethren Is now belng
played by Miss Larner, or some such
name as that.

Another call TO the theater apprised
the women that the woman and The COM
pany was at the Rome. Forthwith the
flowers were dispatched to the Rome ho-
tel, together with another box of flowers
intended for Mrs. Joseph Fels.
The man in charge, discovering that
Miss Kaelred was not m the hotel sent
both boxes of flowers up to Mrs. Fels
and then informed Mrs Sumney that Miss
Kaelred was not in the hotel
Where do you suppose she can be?
asked Mrs, Sumney.
Wen. considering that Joseph and His
Brethren is a religious play maybe you
will find her at the Young Women s
Christian association" replied the hotel
charge d'affaires.
AS a last resort Mrs. Sumney hailed a
newsboy,, gave him n quarter and asked
him to deliver the flowers (Which Laurie
Quinhy had tactfully recovered from Mrs.
Fels) to the theater for Miss Kaelred.
On the arrival OF the flowers at the the
alter, Mr., Sutphen got after the manager
of the company and was very much as
tonished when told that Miss Kaelred
was not with the company and had not

1t is UP to the women now to determine
