peHred in a Garb consisting of some
new-fangled coat OF enamel and cold
cream, the people up In Harlem
thought she ought TO have something
else on. At least. they contended. she
should wear n few spangles.
OF course the artist was mad at
what she considered the prudery Of
lot Of old hens who happened to
be In the theater. She says II is the
first time any objection has been
raised TO her performance and she
added: AS for the police. they have
nothing on me-
And the police chOrused right back:

something more on her" So Miss

Treasure Island, Noted
As Resort for Pirates,
Bought by Cartoonist

CHICAGO. Sept. 29.-JOhn T. Nc
Cutcheon, cartoonist, has purchased an
island in the South Atlantic ocean near
the Bahama group, it became known to-
day. The island is three and half
miles long and a little more than a
mile wide and is down on the admiral
ty charts as salt Cay Island. To mari
ners it is known as Treasure Island
because of the many legends of buried
gold which pirate chieftains placed
there in the days when the rovers Of
the sea piled their calling.
McCutcheon says he places more faith
IN the cocoanut trees, of which there
are 10000, than he does in the tales OF
buried treasure and he expects his re-
turn TO come from the products of the
soil instead of buried treasure chests.
