Pete Baker has been before the public as
a dialect comedian many years, and his
popularity seems not to have waned in the
least since he left his old partner, Farron,
several seasons ago.

which Mr. Baker has been identified 80

some new songs and plenty of fun for the
lovers of this class of entertainment. The
comedy has been frightened up since last

has improved it very materially. Mr..
Bakers voice was in good trim last night,
and he had to respond to numerous en-
cores. Messrs. Baker and Kennedy

THINGS STRANGE AND TRUE.

AT Americas, Canada, there is a pc
Guliar species of rat. It is of several
eolors and hundreds of them can be
seen about the streets.
WHEN Columbus discovered America
he found that the Indians possessed
dogs. They were direct descendants of
the wild coyotes of the plains
A SNAKE with two fully developed
heads, one at each end of the body, was
recently captured in Placer county,
Cal, and brought alive to the office of
the San Francisco Chronicle. The rep

THERE are some curious things in

yet it did not touch bottom.

and feathers of the same color were
6nnched at the back.
The gown that went with this hat
was of green Bedford cord. made in the
long coat fashion.
The skirt was perfectly plain and
demi-traincd and around the bottom of
it, as well as around the toque. there
was thick band of green feather trim
ming. Pink gloves stitched with green
and a large feather fan with q still
larger green bow tied in the ring, were
among the finishing touches suggested
by the tasteful little French dress
maker.
Rumor has it that it is coming in
style to part the hair again, and to
Dand it upon the forehead in waves
The fashion is such trying one that it
surely will not be generally followed
A bang is too becoming to be brushed
aside in the form of part.
One afternoon last week, a certain
beautiful girl who lives up in this quiet,
secluded part of Madison avenue took
q walk down that thoroughfare. with
her hair parted and drawn down over
her ears, with scarcely Il ripple to show
where the hair had once been curled.
The girls checks were SO red, her
complexion was SO fair. her eyes were
so bright, and her countenance SO sweet
that all who saw her looked and mar
veled to see such simplicity upon so
pretty girl.
But, mark youl And listen to the
moral of this talel The next day. there
appeared at the same hour. upon tho
same avenue, score of girls, particular
friends of the sweet-faced one, who had
brushed aside their bangs, and come
out TO walk with parted tresses over
their foreheads, feeling sure that they
were as beautiful as she whom they
were initiating.
But alasl The first girl was pretty
The score that followed her example
were homelyl And to see them making
guys of themselves in this fashion was
n warning to others not to go and do
likewise.
The sweet-faced girl is still wearing
her hair parted. But her Grecian- faced
sister has discovered that when she
parts her hair she makes her face look
like Ratchet, and so she has given up
the idea of discarding bangs The other
girls who looked respectively like wal
nut dolls old maids and dovdics. have
gone back to their crimps and curl> and

a CLOSE SHAVE.
Prompt Action Prevents Loss
Of Life.

Early yesterday morning Mrs. Will
liam Lynch, who lives on Market street,
arose to get breakfast, leaving her two
young children in the bedroom, in which
there was fire. In front of the fire
was large rack filled with newly laun-
dried clothes airing. She had not long
been away before she heard ono of tho
children crying, and rushing to the
room found the clothing and the rack in
light blaze, whilst tho room was filled
with dense smoke. Hastily removing
her children to a safe place she, with
the aid of the servant, eXtinguished
the fire, but it was q close shave of
what might have been fearful
calamity.

atmosphere makes it possible to go forth
without the winter jacket and does not
carry with it the threatening possibili-
ty of heavy cold.
In the uncertain climate around New
York many women exercise constant
discretion regarding their clothes, us

day before Valentines day be cold, they
wear the heaviest cloak that they own.
If the day after Valentines day be
warm, they sally forth with a cape
grit round their shoulders.
A gown which may be recommended
for weather which is neither below
zero nor yet springlike is a garment
composed of half cloth and half fur.
The best fur for this is the small,
neat, close Persian lamb. The front
of the bodice is made entirely of Per-
sian lamb, and the back of it is of the
fur put on in the form of V. The
sleeves are of Persian lamb, and there
is high 4 collar of the same material.
The cloth is used for forming the

Underneath the plain panel-like front
there is a panel-lilse effect of Persian
lamb and an apparent border of the
lamb around the bottom of the skirt.
To produce this effect the fur is sewed
upon silk foundation skirt and the
dress skirt is draped over it.
