"We are as fine as people," said Miss
Pigeon.
Are you, indeed?" asked Miss Dove.
"We are" said Miss Pigeon.
"Coo-o-o" said Miss Dove. "And
aren't we as fine as people, toow
"You are" said Miss Pigeon. "Yes,
you are. Coo-o-o, you're very fine,
too .
''Do tell me all about It," said Miss
Dove, "for I'm very anxious to hear.
Can't you pay me call? I'm at home
this afternoon. And 1t would be far
nicer to sit and have little talk than
1t would be to take fly. It's such
warm day."

Miss Pigeon.
Sounds strange and little confus-
Ing" said Miss Dove.
"Tll explain 1t to you, my DEAR"
said Miss Pigeon. Hospitality means
something like entertainment. 1t
means that you are generous and glad
to give me entertainment and offer
me what you have. It's very fine in
deed to be hospitable."
81 am glad I am" said Miss Dove.
TITS nothing like another word with
something the same sound-a place
where people are when they're i'll and
when they're all cured up and well
they go home again?"
"Oh, no, co-o-o," laughed Miss
Pigeon. you're thinking of hospital
where sick folks go to be made all well
and strong. We often fly around the
hospital caves In yonder part of the
town. But to be hospitable means to
be very generous and polite with every

"Now, we'll have a rest" said Miss

F ANGUS SINGER
IS ARRESTED AS
GERMAN Spy
(By Associated Press)

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 4.-Few wo-
men ever have been so popular and
SO beloved by the Argentine public as
Elena Theodorini, an opera singer
famous in this country, who was ar
rested by officers of a French crui3-
er on a charge that she was a spy in
the employ of Count Luxburg, the
former German minister here. Count
Luxburg received his passports from
the Argentine government for sending
to Germany a suggestion that Argen-
tine ships be sunk without trace.
La Theodorini, as she has always
been called in Argentine, took pass
age on board steamer for Europe
in company with a group of theatrical
persons who we're known to be friends
of Count Luxburg The steamer vas
halted off Montevideo by British cruis.
ers and some of the others of the the
atrical group were placed under ar
rest, but Theodorini was not molested
until the steamer was over-hauled by
a French cruiser off the Spanish
coast.
News that the cruiser had taken her
from the passenger seamer on charges
of espionage came as a surprise 20
Theodorini's admirers in this city for
the general public did not know, as
did diplomatic circles that she had
been in recent years a great friend of
Count Luxburg and a member of d
circle of theatrical women who were
dined and wined at the residence of
the German diplomat.
La Theodorini came to Buencs Aires
in 1884. Singing leading parts in We'll
known operas she soon achieved a
wide reputation and afterward became
so attached to Argentine audiences
that she made her home in this city
Since then she has figured in the mus
zeal and theatrical life of Argentina,
although she had retired FROM the
operate stage.
One of her acts which endeared her
to the Argentine public was her ap.
