OF them an old woman with wavy
white hair, the other a middle-aged
woman, mannishly dressed and
weary-eyed.
The older woman was doing, with
her head dropping against the back
Of the sea, and the younger one
was buried in a trade journal with
a dull gray cover.
Barbara went on eating her
chocolates.
She looked out of the window as
the last bit of Indianapolis sky
line faded out in the distance.
The grandmother across the aisle
had awakened and was watching
Barbara. When the girl turned
away from the window. she met the
gaze of a pair of bright blue eyes
over a point lace collar. Impul-
sively, she held out the box Of
candy. The old woman blushed
delicately, took piece and thanked
her.
It's very nice candy" she said,
nibbling it. Barbara smiled and
proffered the box again.
Are you going far?" asked the
woman formally.

with a faint suggestion of pride.

Until late that night Barbara
packed with furious haste.
She went to bed so tired that
sleep came at once for the first
time in months.
Three days later she looked about
the empty rooms Of the apartment

At the station she looked around

one in sight that she knew.
The train was not yet ready.
Barbara walked through the waiting

doors from the street swung open
and a crowd Of laughing boys and
girls entered. The laughter and talk

AS she swept past, an escort, at

her proudly. Barbara caught

Barbara turned back TO the wait

back and forth. At length she went
to~the newsstand and bought three
magazines and a very large and
brilliant box Of chocolates.
With these under her arm she
returned and found her train wait

train pulled away from the depot.

BILL OF
BROADWAY
STATURE

II the curtain at the Earle
Theater ever rose on better
bill than the one holding forth
there this week, this reviewer
was not present on the occasion.
It's a splendid show from be-
ginning to end and while all of
the numbers are classy, there
are two that stand out as being
fine contributions to the field Of
vaudeville.
The Royal Mountain Ash Choir,
a band of IA singers. delight
with their singing. No jazz here,
but q few beautiful folklore song
and ballads OF the better kind,
sung with expression and feel
ing. Each number caught the
approval OF the large audience,
while "For You Alone" rendered
by J. p. Williams; Mother
Machree," by Emlyn Burns; "Old
Black Joe" and the March of
the Men of Harlechr by the
entire company, won ovations OF
applause.
Little sammy Robbins heads
the "Baltimoreans," and we want
to go on record as saying that
Sam and his chaps know how
to play all kinds Of instruments.
There's four speedy Charleston
dancers in the bunch and a few
corking good comedians. Mixing
them all together we have a
clever collection Of performers
who all do their bits in an ex-
cellent style.
Bernard and Kellar have
comedy skit of the Bringing
Up Father" variety. Both per-
formers are entertaining. Songs
and comedy are the long suits
Of "Bot" Shafer and Bernice,
