ABOUT AS BIO AS A SQUIRREL
Br Mr'.M.IKIf IS Fehrwerr a.
Smsrl Omsha msid end matrons were
doing some hard, quirk thinking last ve
nlnit while dining n the Fontenelle. Could
It be possible that Omaha's mllllon-dnllsr
hotel had mice, and mlcii In nch num
bers In squeak out In luch volume?
The sound was there. Just Ilka mice
there no rtoiiM In the world iibout
that.
Women hastily and fesrfutiy gsthered
the flounces of their aklrta about them,
bracing their muscles (or a leap upon th
chair or table. Not a few messured the
distance between them and the door.
All Ihla time a demura little woman In
a white allk shirt waist, and close-fitting
hi lie allk bonnet, aat with a small, very
retiring rompeny at a table, not In the
least ronrernd over the oiin1a alarm
ing other women In (he room. A queer
thin about the little woman, aha waa
not eating herself, hut the food on her
plate waa disappearing.
Presently the, house found Itaelf and It
waa whispered from table to table that
the demure little woman, without trace
of powder, rouse, or any aort of makeup,
waa Mra. Vernon Castle.
The nolae came from Mra Castle's
curlotia little monkey, hardly blgrer than
a squirrel, that she rarrtea with her
everywhere, the beat press agent an ao
treea ever had.
And It waa the monkey that ceuaed tha
food to dlaappear from tha plate of tha
diner who waa not dining.
In another minute all tha pretty aklrta
were released and everything waa normal
again. Every on waa the more con
vinced that Mra. Castle la an artist,
true artlat It had been perfectly exqul
alte, that manner of her Introduction
