"New York has been converted if it ever had strayed from tho church," says "Big Bill" Edwards, collector of internal revenue, "Pretty nearly every income tax return that we have yet glimpsed, mentioned under 'contributions,' '$1 a week to church. Now a dollar a week may not be the expected tenth, but considering everything, it generally means serious interest in the church these days. And if a man's income tax return is not to be taken seriously, what is?" Every once in a while something happens to Justify the intriguing in terest that hangs about the words, "little East Side cafe." And this time it's something real, indeed. For in an obscure "little East Side cafe," pat ronized by Italian workingmen, has Deen discovered the famous Francla Madonna, stolen from the National art gallery in Bologna two years ago. The cafe proprietor, like most Italians, has an appreciation of art. When this painting was offered him last year by a hungry, penniless immigrant, as security for food and lodging, he re alized it was of unusual value, al though he didn't connect it with the missing masterpiece. Word of its presence in the cafe spread through the Italian colony and reached the ears of Captain Piero Tozzi, war hero and artist, spending the winter here. He made tho acquaintance of tho pro prietor and arranged the purchase of the Madonna. It will be restored to the Bologna gallery this spring. Memories of old Spain are brought vividly to mind by the costumes be ing created along Fifth Avenue for spring and summer wear.

So keen Is the interest among the smart women of New York in the Spanish type of gown that the Fifth Avenue dressmakers are finding it almost im possible to secure an adequate supply of the fringe and beads necessary to carry out the effect. In adition, hats with the Spanish keynote are begin ning to be seen and it seems quite likely that even the fandango will be revived as popular dance this summer. Under the experienced sounding title of "Husbands and Wives," the youngest; playwright extant Is to send forth a play under the skilled produc ing hand of Geo. M". Cohan.. Off-hand it would seem that Harold iStetspn, aged 18, would not know a great deal about the complicated problems of husbands and wives; but remembering what happened to other playB by other authors when they got into the well known George's grasp, it may be that a line or two describing the scenery attracted the producer and he knew ( that he could supply or divert any thing which the youth had failed, to touch, with expert hand.

"All I received as a pension was 3,000 crowns a month, that means about five dollars a week. I couldn't live on that and I haven't learned any profession, so naturally " Leopald's performance here was a success and the audience greeted him in the friendliest of manner. "Well," Leopald continued, "the family have their own troubles, and they can't support me. Of course, I wouldn't have thought of going on the stage If the monarchy still existed. 1 would like to go to the United States, where I. have never been. I speak English and Spanish, and I could perform in those tongues." Leopald's present sketch would nev er go in America. It smacks too much of the new Berlin stage fashions, but his manager, he says, has another sketch that would "knock 'em off their scats." , Bungalow Orchestra Elks' hall, Monday, April 4.
