A second-rate theater dominated by
third-rate actors-dingy, old-fashioned,
but doing some business, mostly BIZ

and, therefore, able to secure the
props" scenery and costumes dirt
cheap.
Gabriel Dyke had been an actor"
once, mostly in "supe" parts. His
stronghold, however, was in the
prompter and stage managing line
Now he had settled down as prop
erty man of the Bijou, salary fair, am
bition dead, accepting life as it came,
but far from happy.
There was a romance in the life of
Gabriel and it may soon be told. He
had welded star-petite, petted Myra
Scott. She was a bright, vivacious
creature, even at eighteen taking
strictly Juvenile parts. For a year
they led happy life in this same
great bustling city. A little child was
born to them, a puny, angelic-faced
little fellow, Humphrey. Then there
was a bitter quarrel between hus-
band and wife. Myra was high strung
Gabriel came home one night to find
wife and child gone and note inform

For the TrouSSeau.

A pretty gift for the engaged girl
who is busily stitching on her trous-
seau is a set Of trousseau bands, as
they are called. They are the girls
favOrite color in ribbon and are
shirred for a goodly distance OF their
length, leaving plain ribbon ends TO
be tied in fetching bow about a pile
of snowy nightgowns, chemises or pet

to twirl for the Italians and while at
times he seemed little wild, he pitched
a nice game of ball, holding the Goddard
artillerymen to five scattered hits for a
total of eight bases. Keefe, the Goddard
moundsman, pitched good game, being
able to locate the plate at all times, al.
though he was touched for more hits
than Spear.

COMMITTEE FOR
FIVE CRUISERS
Leader Kitchin Makes a
Speech for Naval
Bill

Washington, May 3l.-An amendment
to the naval bill providing six battle
cruisers instead OF five as recommended
by majority of the naval committee
was defeated in the House yesterday by
a vote of 100 TO SO.
The vote was along party lines, Repub-
licans and Democrats who insist that
the committees building programme is
too small voting generally for the amend
ment. A record vote was not taken.
with the completion of this proposed
programme" said Chairman Padgett, ''in
broadside fire our navy will be superior
to Germany's, though in the aggregate it
may not be as large. The five cruisers
we propose TO construct would be supe-
rior TO the eight that Germany had at
last accurate count"
Mr.. Padgett announced that later he
would offer an amendment authorizing
the secretary of the navy to offer boz
muses. for speeding up construction OF
warships authorized by the present bill.
Majority Leader Kitchin made his
promised speech in behalf of the naval
appropriation bill Monday, explaining
that while he believed the measure pro-
vided for greater preparedness on sea
than the country really needed, he was
supporting it because it eliminated the
navy departments fve-year building pro-
gramme. He devoted himself most Wig
orously to attacking the so-called big
navy man, asserting that the present
clamor for preparedness was due in the !
main TO hysteria and jingoism.
In opposing the five-year programme,
Mr.. kitchin said it would be foolish to
contract for ships at present high prices, !
when it was probable that the cost of
would be much lower after the
war
Representatives Farr of Pennsylvania,
Britten of Illinois and Roberts of Massa-
shusetts spoke Monday for the minority
report with its larger building pro-
yramme, including two dreadnoughts and
iix battle cruisers instead OF the five
1attle cruisers provided for in the bill.
