SOME EXCUSE.

Frank Mayo, the third in Image by that name, who is now starred on the silver screen, attended a charity bazaar and slipped into a seat to wit ness the auction of an angora kitten.
 Who will bid five dollars?'' in- quired the amateur auctioneer.
 Mayo nodded.
 Good. who will bid ten?"
 Again Mayo was seen to incline his head.
 The bid went higher and higher until all eyes were turned on the film star. At the forty dollar mark, there were no further bids. The auctioneer pushed the kitten into Mayo's hands and reached for the money. Mayo re- luctantly handed out forty dollars.
 t'It is all right said Mayo, ''but I didn't mean to bid on this cat. The feather on the hat of the lady next to me, kept tickling my neck and ] was just trying to duck, that's all.'

It had a ---' = New York for seven months, and three months in Chicago. After appearing in the larger eastern cities, Madam Kalich will start on her first transcontinen- tai tour going as far as San Fran cisco, and there is even talk of her continuing across the Pacific to Aus tralia, where no doubt she would be equally popular as she is in America.
 As is well known, Madam Kalish has become a great favorite with the social set of New York, to the ~vtent that the gowns which she wears in the play, designed by Lady Drfe ~orion, have been the talk the four hun dred of New York, quite as much ad- mired as her art, which is praise in- deed.
