Many young men are adopting the art of their fair sisters and are turning to camouflage to bettor their personal appearance. The practice is not confined to the city youth; one barber asserted that most of "paintings” were customers having residence in the country. Within one hour a three-chnir barber shop had six applications for rouge by young men of high school aud college age. “It was but a small step from powder to rouge.” said one boss barber. “When we first used talcum powder, there was objection by those who considered It effeminate, but go anywhere you like now and you’ll find the old and the young a willing subject to talcum after the shave. “I can't say that the use of rouge is i fad.” he continued. “The young nen are urged to- keep up a good appearance Just as much as the young ivomen, and X don't see why a little -ouge artistically used would be amiss this respect. "Anyway, I have ordered an addiional supply of rouge aud lip-sticks.”

Aflg. 15, eighteen negroes attempted to escape from the, locked rooms of the “club.” When (he "club members” saw polled uniforms more speed waa applied to the feet of the clubmen, who nre presided over by Harry “Goosie" Lee, notorious police character and prominent negro politician. One of the members evidently thought he was a bird because he Jumped out of the window as a door was knocked in by Sergt. George Winkler of a former morals squad. "President Goosie” Lee explained this procedure while testifying In his own defense yesterday afternoon while a hearing of a charge of keeping a gaming house at 509*4 Indiana avenue was in progress before Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court. “Goosie” testified that some of "do membura” were sleepln' in the clubrooms, others were playing a little pool, while “Goosie" himseff was presiding over the calm and peaceful game known as checkers, “Goosie” swore on his oath that nothing more serious than an Innocent game of checkers anrl a little pool.

Miss Garden is scheduled to arrive at the Union Depot obout 5 o’clock In her special cur, “The National,” which is the home on wheels of the singer during j her tours. j Although the special car is fitted up in j grand style, the prltna donna will go j directly to the Clnypool Hotel on her I arrival here where ar suite of rooms have j been engaged for her. Many of her I Indianapolis friends will make social j calls during the singer’s short stay here. Indlnnapolls is all a-flutter over what ;the famous woman will wear during her ■ recital at the Murat nt 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Probably her most famous gown Is the muchly discussed “Thousand Mirrors Gown,” which creates a sensation when the opera singer appears in it. Miss Garden has a rule that she will wear the “mirror gown” only at evening concerts and so this rule of the singer will preclude her Sunday audience here of being dazzled by this stunning creation. Our Mary has chosen a rare creation for her appearance at the Murat, lofor-

Attorney Robbins then sprang a sensation to the effect that ”de president" had in, the courtroom, all nicely framed, the artleles of Incorporation of the Pioneer Club' aa well as the by-laws. With much ceremony “Goosie” unwrapped the'articles and the by-laws and presented them to the court by his counsel. NO MEMBERS EXPELLED. Judge Collins smiled and said, while reading the by-laws: "I see an article here which requires that any member found gambling or drinking Intoxicating liquors shall be expelled from membership of the club." "I can prove by the defendant that he has searched members of the club nnd on finding dice bas locked them up In the safe," stated Attorney Robbins. On cross examination, "Goosie” atated that the board of directors had nvt expelled any of the eighteen members who : were found ln v the clubrooms at the time of the (-aid because "de members” were not visiting a gaming house, because “Goosie” knew Hint checkers and piol (Continued on P*g Two.)

She refers to Salome as her “bad child.” She has announced that she will “do Salome” in Chicago this season with the Chicago Opera Company and has invited the police of that city to "get busy." When Miss Garden arrived recently in Chicago, she was greeted by three mounted policemen. One reached his hand through the open window of her taxi and called her "Mary.” The prima donna la then reported as "raving" over the beautiful policemen nnd promptly handed out an interview in which she discussed coppers us husbands.
