Various arrests have been made, but the real criminals are said to be still at large.

His special line is to rob churches ancTpilloge art gal leries. Three months ago this band got away with some priceless tapestry be longing to Albert Duval, which has not since been heard of.

The play was written by j Pauline Phelps and Marion Short. The role of Flotsam, the girl who I has been brought up on Lighthouse | Island, is finely adapted to Miss Hilly ' Long and she Is sure to add to her j great popularity during the week.

She feels her indebtedness j to Flotsam, and taking a fancy to the girl, asks Cap’n Amos Barton,; Flotsam’s father for permission to educate her. Mrs. Elmer’s adopted son. Edward Elmer, is drawn to Flotsam from the | first and his interest in her soon grows to love. This causes jealousy on the part of Joey Clarke, a fisher lad, who is in love with Flotsam. Joey, while nursing Cap’n Amos through a severe illness learns an Important secret which the captain has been keeping to himself for many years. Some 20 years before the story opens, the captain, in a quarrel on shipboard, strikes a man and. as! he believes, kills him. This man was none other than Elmer’s father. In | order to prevent Elmer from marrying Flotsam, Joey tells the secret and the j captain determines to take his pun- | lshment like a man. Flotsam flatly refuses to go away to school but says she will stay at the lighthouse during the captain’s imprisonment. L The fact that the captain was wrong ly accused is brought out llnally and all ends happily.

Trousseau Very Elaborate and All Evening Gowns Coming From Paris. BY STEVEN BURNETT. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, May 3.—With the wed ding of the Kaiser’s daughter only three weeks off everything is bust ling within the imperial castle. The young princess herself is getting her iast lessons In the culinary art from a famous French chef, and when her time Is not taken up with cooking, she gets lessons in domestic economy, bookkeeping and the management of servants from the Kalserin person ally. The princess’ first establish ment in a comparatively small garri son town will be on a rather small scale and her associates will prin cipally consist of the wives of her husband’s brother officers, and her so cial success will largely depend on her own ability to manage her home, as she will have very few servants. But she is determined that the small dinner parties ana suppers to which she will have to invite her husband’s friends and their wives shall be able to pass the criticism to which they will be exposed. There is absolutely no snobbery among German officers and no mercy will be shown the wife of a junior officer because she happens to be the Kais er’s daughter. So she will have every reason to congratulate herself on the sensible education she has re ceived from her mother. A certain part of each day is set aside for the shopping, for the Prin cess herself selects and buys every article of her trousseau that is to be bought in Berlin. She Is very often accompanied on her shopping expedi t|f>ns by Crown Princess Cecile and the latter’s factotum and bosom friend, Miss Geraldine Farrar. It speaks well for the tact of the Berliners that although there is not one among the chopping crowd who does not know their favorite Prin cess Victoria Louise, nobody for a moment thinks of running after her to see what she buys, as the women of most countries would do. And she is permitted to do her shopping at Wertheim’s or any of the other large stores as undisturbed as if she were a mere jiobody. The Kalserin was very much im pressed by an article in a Berlin paper by the author Karin MichaelU Stangeland on the subject of the trousseaus of princesses in which she stated that it was certainly the duty of royalty to support the industry of real hand-made lace, and not a single inch of the machine article will be used in Princess Victoria Louise’s trousseau. All the evening gowns of the prin cess as well as her wedding gown will come from Paris The guests at the wedding will be a very imposing crowd. The King and Queen of England have already announced their coming. The Czar and Czarina have almost promised to come, and beside we shall see the King and Queen of Italy, the heir ap parent of Austria, the King and con sort of Denmark, and possibly the Kaiser’s sister, the new Queen, and her consort, King Constantine of Greece.

In fact. Turkey Trotting is em phatically a dance for the older mem bers of society, and there are club women in Atlanta who dance it with as much grace and agility as do the young matrons and debutantes. Of course these women do not “rag” it, but give it the dignity it deserves as a health-inducing exercise. “The Turkey Trot is all right,” .said a wed-known club woman of middle age. “I like it. There is* a fascina tion about Its measure, and the little effort it takes to do it, that makes It delightful.” “Have you danced the Sarafan?” asked another and more youthful member of one of the patriotic socie ties. "Abroad it is all the rage. My mother and grandmother danced it in Charleston in their girlhood, and it is one of the most beautiful and inspiring dances I know of. It is rol- licksome and frolicksome, and gives a glow to your cheeky and a grace to your body. All Spanish dances do that. “I have a friend in London who writes me that the Sarafan is very popular at the week-end house parties in England now, and it.is sure to become popular In Atlanta. To dance the Sarafan you must have a leader. The leader is usually a man. who starts the dance by gliding lightly over the ball room floor, snapping his finger*', or playing upon some small stringed instrument. One by one the couples get up and follow’ him, as he leads them in and out of the rooms of the house, up and down the stairways and halls, and even out into the street and through the gar den. Always the dancers follow in twos, in fours, in couples, never alone. There is an added charm lent the Sarafan If the dancers will carry Iignt scarfs, or cas'ternets. My mother has been in Sanafan dances when there were fifty collides in the dance. All sorts of fancy steps are introduced and the music changes by turns from light-winged waltzes x to lively polkas and frisky gallops, then a march will be introduced, so the dancers can catch their breath. Oh, but it is glorious! And when it reaches At lanta, and is danced at the Driving Club, or in some of the beautiful homes out the Peachtree Road, where there is room to move long distances, it will be lovely. Before many moons I expect to see the Sarafan danced here. And as long as men and women can dance, I hope and believe the Turkey Trot will be in vogue, for it not only rests the nerves but is pecu liarly fitted to the rheumatic and sciatic back and limbs'. It is good for young and old alike.” “Have you ever danced. Put Your Little Foot Down There?” asked a member of the party. “It is really called la Vasuveanne or the Vasu- veanna, and has a motion and grace that belongs to no other of the old- faphion dances. Many times have I seen my mother’s little foot, velvet- slippered with its high French heel and beaded toe, point out every time the band played the music tjjat be longs exclusively to the Vas'uveana With its lilt that seemed to say, ’Put your little foot down there.’ “And do you remember the hop waltz, and the dip and the polka and the gallop? Just where the Cen tury Building stands was the first dancing school in Atlanta. I remem ber about that time the higher you could spring off the floor every time your feet made a turn, the better dancer you were considered. Then came the day when the lady laid her head upon her partner’s shoulder, and the Bunny Hug was not in it com pared to the languishment and prox imity of the dancers. “And the fancy steps taken by the women and men who danced the old- fashion quadrille and lancers.” laughed another club woman who re members things. “I have sashayed nearly the full length of the ball room when the fiddler called ‘bal ance all.* and the times my feet have locked in the rocking step is like the sands of the ^*ea. But those were good old days, and the dances were all right, albeit they were springy and hoppy. “Going back to the Turkey Trot.” said the first speaker, “how many of you club women have ever seen the Chicken Dance? I mean a real chick en dance? At the break of day when the barnyard awakens, there is a flut tering of wings, a marshaling together of his harem ladies, and the rooster hops from his perch and crows. That is a signal for the hens to get down and dance, and they do, their feet making tracks in the earth, and their wings opening and shutting like big fans. Every once in a while the chicken hops high in the air and this continues for several minutes. Then Old Mr. Roos*ter struts off. fol lowed by his ladies, and by the time the sun is well up, the dance is ended. “Negroes are very superstitious about the chicken dance, and at the suggestion of my cook, I got up one morning last spring and witnessed the weird dance, in the ghostly gray of morning. I believe the super stition is that every one should see at least one chicken dance during his life to insure a protection from the Evil Eye. ‘The Chicken Dance ig sometimes called the Devil’s Dance, and believe me. it is worth seeing. “The subject of these old-fashion dances remind me of some of the old- time games played when the Sarafan and Vasuveanne were danced,” con cluded the oldest club woman in the party. “Grace Hoops was the pret tiest' game I ever saw. It was played with two sticks about as long as your arm and as big around ns your thumb, ami a hoop covered with gold guimpe a rid velvet ribbon wound around it. The hoop was about the size of a large service plate, On a lawn 1 have seen as many as twenty hoops going at one time and the play, ers catching them learn to he very dexterous and skillful throwing and catching them. If you can get every hoop on your sticks, which you keep crossed as you throw and catch, yon are lucky and called a good player. Grace Hoops was a favorite pastime for the women of the forties and fif ties. The game even continued pop ular dqring the sixties, but other than my mother’s grace hoops I have never seen any in Atlanta, and she brought hers from Charleston, S. C, “Shuttlecock and Battledore was another delightful game of the past. Bats, something like tennis raquets, and feather-winged balls that were batted about and never allowed to rest, were used. These two games brought into play every muscle of a woman, made her graceful and light on her feet and gave her that physi cal grace that made the women of the Old South so greatly admired. “Well, those were good old days and fine old dances, to hark back to, "but for real sport give me Turkey Trotting when it is danced without ragging the shoulders, or snapping the fingers, or bending the body. Your heels should never touch the floor if you would Turkey Trot correctly.” LISTEN!
