atrocities and monstrosities in overskirts,
and underskirrs, and shoes, and sleeves,
and shoulders.
These things being as they are let us
properly rejoice in green. We cannot
abolish the three skirts unless indeed. we

Shut up in q drawer at the National
Museum, where nobody has the privilege
of seeing them, is a curious collection of
decoys. Perhaps the funniest among
them is pup seal about foot and a half
long, quite artistically carved out of
wood. It's little paws are folded across
its chest, and 1t Is intended to float on it's
back upon the water, just as the animal it
represents does in real life. However, 1t
is not meant as decoy for mother seals,
as may be imagined, but as a float for
tying fishing line to. Fishes, recognize
ing the innocence of pup seals IN general
are not likely to suspect that one would
dangle q hook and line to catch them.
This Is an Alaskan decoy, of course.
The natives of that region employ
decoy ducks made of wood In q
similar fashion = not to attract real
ducks within reach of arrows or bull
let's, but as floats merely. To the noats,
set a-swimming in the rivers, lines are
attached, with hooks and bait for salmon.
No ordinarily wise salmon would be-
afraid of a duck. So these fishes bite
eagerly at the lures suspended from the
counterfeit birds In the water and are
caught. Another very queer decoy In the
drawer is fish, cut out of wood and
painted white. No label states, unfortu-
nately, precisely how it is employed, al
though IL is certain that IL Is a counter
felt intended to attract some big fishes.
Big salmon could swallow prey of sush
size, and it may be designed as bait for
them. Think, however, of the disgust
which would be felt by any scaly orge at
finding that he had taken in a wooden
fish one foot long Washington Star.

The HEART CHEERERS.
A Successful Musicale and Reception
Given Last Evening.
THE TROCADERO WAS CROWDED.
The Proceeds to be Given to the work
ing Girls Home and the Society Proves
Itself Not Only "Heart Cheerers" In
Name but I'm Deed.

The Heart Cheerer's Circle OF Kings
Daughters held musicale and reception
last evening in the Trocadero. The pro-
ceeds are to be given for the Working
Girls Home which is soon to be erected.
The affair was one Of the most enJoya-
BILE of any this season. When 1t was
known for what purpose the reception
was given the response was instanta-
neous. Over 800 tickets were taken and
the number who paid admittance at the
door made total of nearly 1000 present.
The Heart Cheerers' Circle is a society
of young ladies whose average age is
about 10. Behind them with willing hands
was the Dollar Circle of Kings Daugh-
ters, n society of ladies. To these societies
should be given credit for a most enter
tanning as well as successful time.
People began TO arrive as early as 7:3O
o'clock Quickly the reception rooms
were filled and before long they were Sc
verely taxed to accommodate the large
audience.
The entertainment began with musi-
Gale and was followed by dancing. The
following program was rendered:

Louise Gonant Gamwell.
Clara Frances Gardiner.

Nina w. hudson. -.
Miss Lucy Field Greene.
Reading, selected. ted....................M Miss Allen
opus a. NO. Wis Riiysn Chopin
song, selected. Carrie May smith
May Brooks.
Each number was well rendered and
given unstinted applause, while each par
ticipant was the recipient OF hearty COM
mendation.
After the musicale the ballroom in the
Trocadero and Tillinghast's Assembly
Rooms were thrown open for the dancers.
Reeves orchestra furnished the music.
Both ball rooms could scarcely accom-
modate the large number present, and one
set was seen To form in one of the parlors.
While the Trocadero has been opened
for some time there were many who had
not before visited it.
In.the parlors annexed to the assembly
rooms candy, popcorn, lemonade and
flowers were for sale. Many visited here
aud in almost every case departed poorer,
but having given in good cause.
The cafe below presented an animated
sight during the intermisson. Every
table WAS taken aud numbers were wait
ing.
AS many of the dancers were of the
younger portion, the dancing was not
continued until late hour but ended
comparatively early. The reception was
a most brilliant affair and the Working
Girls Home will most probably be the
lucky beneficiary of a handsome sum and
the Heart Cheerers Circle Of Kings
Daughters will have proved that they
exist not only in title but in deed.

-~The Fire Patro1.'~

At the Gaiety Opera House on
Monday and during the week '' The
Fire PATROL" new melodrama. will
be the attraction. The popular de-
mand for realism has led to the pro-
duction of effects on the stage that
were at one tina hardly dreamed Of
Thus we have tanks Of real water, genu-
inc fire engines, steam locomotives, etc.
Now we are promised more realism in
"The Fire Patrol" which of course will
show us the genuine fire patrol wagon
and horses, in addition to which will be
seen a correct representation OF a gold
stamp mill in the Black Hills, with the
great ore crusher in actual operation.
The play was but recently put on the
stage in New York, and one of the metro
politan critics says of it: There can be
no doubt of the success of The Fire Pa
troll 1t is an intensely strong play, per-
fectly presented. The scenery and me-
chanical devices, the play itself and the
company all command respectful atten-
ton and are worthy of consideration.
The scene of the Homestake Stamp Mill
is decidedly novel. and reused the audi
ence to the highest pitch. Altogether the
performance was thoroughly enjoyed, and
we pronounce The Fire Patrol hit"
Week of May %, "The Dazzler."
