Metrop pOlitan Theater.

At the Clunie Opera House last night Hettie
Bernard Chase and her company drew large
| audience to witness the production of the play,
rags, the Wild Cat'' The company moves to
the Metropolitan for tonight and tomorrow
night, when the last performances will be
given. There will be no matinee to-day. That
there may be no misconception concerning the
very insipid and ridiculous play, the public
must know that Rags is in no respect wild

pretty and pleasant lady would be able to interest

her Interpretation, except to look pretty The
truth IS that Manager Hall, whom the public de-

cannot with all the effort he might make in

such indifferent performances as that Of Rags,

New Fashions in Watches

''One of the notable changes that have
come about in fashion within the last ten
years" SAID veteran jeweler in Maiden
lane, " is in the style of watches In the
olden time great part of the repair busi-
ness in every jewelers. store consisted of
fitting watch crystals. These used to be
made of exceedingly delicate glass, almost
as fragile as soap bubble, and were
crushed by the slightest pressure 1t was
this weakness in the construction of
watches that made the hunting-case popu-
lar. Now, however, the crystal in most
common use is thick, bevelled glass,
strong enough to stand any ordinary press
ure, and even blow If it is not too heavy.
This has brought about the change / speak
OF, and open-face watches are now preferred
to the hunting case.
Most people carry watches for service
rather than show" he continued, "but
there are some who want them as orna-
ments, and there is hardly any limit to the
cost of the ornamentation. Look at this
And he opened case in which were
| some two dozen watch cases into which the
works were not fitted. They are kept for
special orders and are gorgeous with dia-
monds on the back, the center one being a
brilliant of twenty-karat weight.
