ROSY DREAM OF
BALLET DANCER
Caress in Chicago Hotel Betrays
Naval Officer Said to Be
$4,000 Short.
TWO BLISSFUL WEEKS
Posing as Wealthy Cotton Planter,

ior-Made Suits, Furs, ETC.

Chicago.-Lives there a chorus CIR

coffee over the hall room gas jet:
"Well, it's my turn next for one OF

pers and everything"
And what boots it to repeat that
this was the roseate dream of Miss
Lucille O'Dea, ballet dancer, who,
when cur story Of the nonplused de-
tective and the Arabian knight opens
was on the Pantages time at Grand
Rapids, Mich, carefully chaperoned az
always by her mamma, Mrs. O'Dea.
The Arabian knight with the magic
purse was none other than Chief War
rant Officer James Aloysius Donohoe
of the United States navy, and he is
charged with having embezzled $4,000
pay roll funds. But-for two perfect
weeks Lucille achieved her dream.
A Tempestuous Wooer.
AS r. e. Easterly, son of the third
richest cotton planter in Louisiana, by
CAD, sub, Mr.. Donohoe splurged into
the O'Dea ken at Grand Rapids. And
what between wine dinners and motor
rips, Mr.. Easterly proved most tenn
pestuouS, ardent wooer.
They came to Chicago, where they
registered at the La Sale hotel, Lucille
and Mamma O'Dea having a suite in
which were no gas jets, but electric
chandeliers, Louis XIV furniture, Ming
vases and Persian rugs, and all that.
And, of course, there was tie 5000 tai
tornado suit, the $500 fur and the
5000 spending money.
House Detective ]. Abrams of the
La Sale was making his rounds on
the sixth floor the other evening when
he suddenly encountered in the front

new statuary group of Cupid and

high with the paraphernalia of camp
kitchens, or the screech of motor
horn or a madly whizzing motorcycle.
Even when the road was clear of We
hicles and long lines of soldiers moved
over it to the front or dumped drear-
pact, marching feet. "Route march
ing" was the way the Americans came,
while the French poilus, with queer
bundles strung about them at all sorts
OF unexpected places, seemed fairly
to stroll along. But they were going
up to the front, these men, and how
ever they might feel about it, it was
no circus for us.
Not that the outward appearance
of the moving troops was depressing.
Far from it. They went by, to quote
Ian Hay, scattering homely jests like
hail" Some came singing and | shall

echoed the French about us. Around

they came. We could hear them sing

us wildly the first summer of the war
at home, when we had danced and
played and said good-by to the music
of that song.
Present From Headquarters.
One morning l looked out from the
canteen upon a new scene a surprise.
Several groups of very feeble old men
and women were seated upon the lawn
of the chateau. A canteener dashed
In breathless at this moment. The old
people, according to her hurried ac-
count, were present to us from G. H.
@. They had been living up near the
front and some action was planned
that might prove dangerous to them.
SO the French authorities, with charm
ing confidence, simply shipped them
back to the American Red Cross can

hours, until they could be sent on by
train to their final destination. The
day before we had been eaten nearly
cut of house and home, by a number of
hungry French infantrymen. Now, as
our canton had not arrived, we were
looking forward with dread to running
short of rations for the afternoon con-
tingent.
Every available canteener was rush
ed out into the byways and hedges,
and in an incredibly short time the vii
layers had contributed enough from
their own poor stores to give the old
people a hearty meal. Pitifully dazed
were these old folk. They had chung

to their homes through invasion and
shell fire for three long hard winters;
and now it seemed incredible that their
own people could turn them out. C'est
la guerre.
A house near the railroad station
was procured for them and the next
morning they were speeded on their
way by group of young American
girls who rose early to see them COM
fortably off.
Attraction for Riddles.
The children of the neighborhood
found the canteen a fascinating place.
They were with us all day long slip
ping in and out, being shooed out re-
morselessly when we were busy or
welcomed when we had time to play.
Very early in the morning little ten
year-old Pierre came up the drive with
our milk pail. Then, after a cupful
of hot chocolate and hunk of bread,
we watched him set off sturdily for
home, eight long miles away. Pierre
was always our first visitor, but before
the day had ended, there We're a score
of others.
Not far from our canteen, the Smith
college unit was doing It's splendid
work: The members of 1t dropped in
on us occasionally, but we heard far
more of their doings and sayings from
the children. 1.-THE play teacher" was
special marvel and we watched with
infinite pleasure her successful efforts
to teach these small people, who had
learned hard lessons in the school of
war, the joy of play.
The doctor, too, was source of end
less comfort and amusement to the
children. To hear them talk, YOU
would gather that they preferred to
he sick rather than WELL in order to
get her attention. Some of those I'M
der her care, made unheard of jour
neys to distant hospitals and dispen-
saries. After five whole weeks of abb
sence, Andrea, the prettiest frailest
child in the village, returned from Doc

bathed bathed every day. When the
much haraSsed woman came to us for
advice, am sure she went away mar
yelling at the madness of Americans
who believed in soap and water for
babies, even In the winter time.
So from the canteen at Chateau
Thierry, our little group of American
women were privileged to see war in
all its aspects. Color and excitement,
comedy and tragedy, all of life we
watched as we worked.

In 1914 an American woman, Fran
ces Wilson Huard, watched hundreds
upon hundreds of refugees stream
along that road toward Paris.
-Four years later a little group of
American canteen workers were in
Chateau-Thierry watching an ever-mov-
ing procession in the other direction.
The town for the possession of which
so many American lives had been laid
down was safe at last; so safe that
the everGcautious authorities asked for
women to run a Red Cross canteen
there and thus 1t came about that a
little group of us were able TO follow
our own troops into the famous village.
We set up our kakh tent on the lawn
of the chateau and from there we
saw the whole panorama of war go
by. 1t was a strange sight to women,
an uncomfortable sight, if one could not
feel that In some small human way
one was of service. But our canteen,
with its huge sign American Red Cross,
drew troops from the road as honey
pot draws flies; and with the villagers
who had come home, we were almost
as popular as the fountain across the
way. So we came to know that we
were of uSe-a stimulus to that weary
but indomitable fellow, the poilu;
kind of cross between diversion and
oracle to the villagers; and, best of
all, a bit of home to our own men.

when we were at the village, motley

dusty road every day. One man who

color and variety and gayety of the
