Pepys at a Feast.

Pepys' account of the lord mayors banquet which he attended in 1863 H. Illustrates the earliness of the proceed ings sAt that time. He made his way to the Guildha1 at noon, went up and down to see the tables'' and then had a drink, refusing wine in conse- quence of a VOW, but persuading his conscience that he might indulge in hippocras, a compound of wine and spices. Soon after 1 o'clock came the lord mayor, ''and so all to dinner" Afterward Pepys stroIled about the la dies room, but could not discern one handsome face there and, ''being wearied with looking upon company of ugly women,' went off to Cheapside to see the pageants, which were very silly'' Thus the lord mayors show in those days came after characterization Standard.

Checkers.


 The German name for the game of checkers or daughts is ''damenbrett''- ladies' board-probably "damen" for short Some form of "dame" is used in almost every country where the game is played, except the English speaking countries, and the Scots still speak of the 'dambrod." ''Damea" was the name in England for a time and we find it in an English book to- ward the end of Elt8abeth's reign The first use of the word drRughts in existing literature is about 14OO. At a later day checkers" became another name, and this went to America with the early English em1gTants and there became the usual name. In England in the sixteenth century the game had three names-"Cames, g ''draughtsT and checkers" At an earlier period "check- erie" 'chekar,'' etc, had been English names for chess.-London MirroT.

''The Chorus Girl' with the reed bird and 'he diamond back turtle appetite has been the butt of the paragrapher for so many years one forgets. Those who do not come in contact with the real live chorus girl live under the inn pression that the metropolitan girl of the ballet is thing of ruffles, fine linen. and supplied autos. They have been lead to believe that the metro politan chorus girls life is just one round after another of wine suppers, midnight revels and orgies with wine bibbing millionaires with too much money and too few morals.
 There are thousands of chorus girls who receive a mere pittance for their dancing in the front row, who live in splendid apartments and who sport French maids and have cottages at Newport. but there are thousands also. to whom the ballet is the means of support many times for dependent families.
 The latter class seldom is in the pub- i lie eye and consequently the layman l hears not of the girl who rehearses for hours daily, dances at night and croons over the crib of perhaps a sick 1 little sister or brother at home, wher | she has doffed her tinsel and paint
 This side of the chorus girl has beer taken for the theme of the next Blu, fBird' feature to be offered starting to- day at the Columbia.

foot lights in tn wonderful big musical shows that are to be found along the Great White Way of New York s theatrical center.
 The chorus girl to many, has been a profound study. Every year from somewhere thousands of fresh faced handsome limbed, dainty girls come to the chorus of Broadways big shows. They must be pretty. must be able to dance, and they must be young. Next year some of them are found back again and some of them remain until age tells then they can not longer compete, but what becomes of the great masses of the most beautiful wo- men of the great metropolis who join the chorus Like the old query what ! becomes of the pins in daily use, there is no answer.
 In this Robbie of the Ballet" thero is a part solution of the question. It plays the Columbia today and tomor- row only.
