Ballet Russo
toGive Two
Local Shows
Monte Carlo Appearance to
Be Sponsored by Junior
Chamber.

Heirs OF the tradition of Diaghilev,
Pavlova and Nijinsky, the Monte
Carlo Russian Ballet is to come to
indianapolis for two appearances
Dec. 25 and IS, sponsored by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Six ballets are to be presented
"Aurora's Wedding" "Scheherazade"
and The Midnight Sun" on Christ
mas night, and Les Sylphides, -
(done here last year,, The Fantas-
tic Toy Shop" and Prince Igor
the following night.
The troupe is on its third
American tour. In so short a time
the cast seems nearly to have real
lied the Renaissance of the ballet
in this country. Biographies and
plays built around the lives OF
former stars of the Imperial Ballet
have been read widely; dancing
schools have been stirred to fresh
effort; painters, poets and musicians
have responded to the creative
stimulus of the colorful spectacle
With the general public the names
of Toumanova, Massine and Lichine
already are becoming famous, and
the troupe's reception recalls the
contrasting apathy of America
welcome to Diaghilev's Ballet Russo
20 years ago.
Since the last local appearance of
the ballet, it has he'd engagements
in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and
Paris, and a tEree-months' engage
ment in London's Covent Garden
The American tour began with a
two weeks appearance in New York
There is reasonable assurance that
the performance here will include
all of the company's first-magnl-
tude stars. 1t should be a grand
show.

all was ready for the first hunt The
two tiercels had been reclaimed and
were flying nicely at the lure, but it
would be some time before they could
be flown at quarry. However, was

telephoned Keating, who agreed
to take me to the next hunt of the
falconry club. A few other students,
like ourselves, had become Interested
in the sport and now were veterans.
A half a dozen of US drove out with
hooded hawks to the foothills. where
miles of rolling country allow long
winged hawks to be flown. These
noble" falcons cannot hunt in tim
Der, but some of the falconers had the
deadly short-winged Goshawk, which
thinks nothing of following a rabbit
into the heart of bramble patch. Also
with us went two pointers, trained for
work with hawks.
At last We came to the top of little
hill, 1t was almost a perfect day for
falconry. The great field of soft waving
green swept away beneathus, wrinkled
from time to time by light breeze.
In the distance the blue mountains
stretched away in long line.
The wind is freshening," Laughton
said 10 me. You had better fly your
new eyess as soon as possible. Start
the dogs out, Howell"
The two pointers. their noses held
high in the breeze, ran down into the
field. Dogs used with falcons must be
trained not only to point and recover
the game. but also to flush it. These
pointers were old experts.
Suddenly one of the dogs made a
point. Instantly unhooded Won and

she put the money? Someone might
take it from her!
And so Zarita had come back to
Muna, third class but rich, to the
place she had left in disgrace more
than five years before.
Sebastian was still at the inn, but
that wasn't why Zarita bought it, OF
her wish for revenge, nothing remained
then, or remained now. but a blunted
resentment. Zarita had bought the
hotel chiefly to show" Don Fernando,
who had fired her, and who had been
doing so badly that he had offered his
establishment to planter for FIVE
thousand pesos.
Sebastian had stayed as matter of
course. What else was there for him in
Muna? At thirty. a Yucatec is too old
to work on the plantations, and Sebas-
tian was drunk half the time. But as
Don Fernando had said, he was good
servant, and it amused Zarita to think
of his taking her orders. Duly resent
full, she had not made it easy. Harsh
ness was only habit now, but fixed
habit, and Sebastian worked hard, and
was very meek and respectful.
Once - in the beginning. he had
asked her to marry him, and Zarita
had laughed shrilly, and said, Too
late, my lad. The baby is gone now."
She hadn't thought of the baby
often late. She hadn't thought often
of anything, except creature comforts
and getting every centavo that any
one paid in the patio. Twenty-six years
is long time, and she might never
have gone back over it again if
Sebastian hadn't said nothing ever
happened in Muna.
What was the sense of going back
over it? A cool breeze rustled the
orange tree. 1t must be getting late.
Terribly far away life seemed; youth,
and love, and hearts anguish. All
these things happened everywhere. to
everybody, and none of it mattered -
after little while.
Zarita got up and went into her bed
room. 1t wGS late; the place was
flooded with moonlight. Beneath her
window. a boy and girl passed, with
their arms around each other.
Zsrita opened the bottom drawer of
her bureau and rummaged until she
found faded picture of handsome
dark-skinned lad with his arm around
her shoulder. She looked at it a mo-
ment, then carried it to the window
and stood staring toward the green
bush and the stony road leading to
Uxmal.

it? She had gone to somebody's shop
every day for reply, and never re-
ceived one.
The baby died then. Even that pang
had lost power to stab. But Zarita re-
membered how it had stabbed. She
had stood in the cathedral. before the
Virgin, with the dead child under her
reboza, and sworn vengeance on its
father, who had let it die. The baby
might have perished anyway, Zarita
realized later. He had never been
strong. But that day she had prayed
for revenge in a prayer only partly
Christian, and a great deal more the
pagan petition of those Indians who
were her ancestors, and who had cut
out the hearts of their enemies atop
that very pyramid at Uxmal.
What happened next? Twenty-six
years ago. Was it really as long as
that? She had left the dead child in
the church, and had been apprehended
and sent to prison. When she came
out, what happened? Wasn't there a
soldier - a guard she had met at the
Jail? But there had been so many men
after that
That was when she began selling
lottery tickets. She got them from the
brother of cigarette merchant, she
remembered. He had taken over the
booth in the plaza, and distributed the
tickets to half dozen boys and girls
who brought their money to him every
night, and kept eight per cent of the
amount. A whole ticket cost ten pesos.
and one sold twentieth of ticket
for fifty centavos. All the tickets had
to be back in the hands of the dis
tributor by five O'Clock the afternoon
of the drawing.
She had been only a few minutes
late. Really, she shouldn't have been
late at all, by the clock in the post
Office, but the plaza clock was fast,
and the man adamant Four-tenths
of ticket unsold; that would be four
pesos.
81 haven't four pesos," Zarita had
wept. Couldn't she pay three, and give
the ticket back?
What can I do with it?" the dis
tributor had shrugged. Keep the
ticket, and give me four pesos, or
never show your face here again"
Zarita had sold herself for that other
peso. And then, sick at heart, she had
crossed the plaza to find herself facing
placard with her ticket among the
winning numbers. Eight thousand
pesos - that was Zarita's share, eight
thousand pesos! Rich! Where should

will Distribute Food

Meat and potatoes will be dis tributcd by the welfare departmen ent tomorrow to borough needy, Supt of Public Welfare N. Hadley Cox stated today. This is government food. Just how much longer 1t will continue to be sent to Naugatuck for distribution, the superintendent does not know, he said.
 In October the local department was informed 1t would get food to about March l at the latest. But the shipments have continued com- ing although they are not as large as formerly. It may now be the policy to continue the shipments in lesser quantities, but if so the To- cal superintendent has not been in- formed of it.
 The $3,000 which the department expected from the state for the final quarterly payment on alien care has not yet been received by the department, he also said. This to some indicates the expenses for February, with no credit to offset them, may be quite high. The fi- nancial report of the superintend- ent for the month of February, which will reveal exact figures, 1t is expected. will be made at the monthly meeting next Monday night.
