A Feather Regulation by . Chicago Young
Why prate of the glorious stage achieve

auditorium of every American theater tow
ering rivals that cast these actors into per-
ennial eclipse and Outlines totally obscure

DAYS? There is, to be sure, an occasional
change il the background, but in the lore
ground loom up perennially n consplcu-
ously the towering m~onstrosltles OF tne
feminine headgear. !,
But this is an era of reform. Let the glad
tidings be proclaimed. A Chicago young
man has invented q wing and feather regu-
lator by means of which any one sitting
away back in the NTH or Nth row OF orches-
tra, chairs can see all that happens on the
stage. From the boyhood times when he
saved his earliest-half dollars to squander
