ABOUT CHAPERONEs.
If We Must Have Them, It's Well
to Know When.

W hlOW " HULL
When is chaperonage absolutely nee
essary. and when may 1t be dispensed
with? When is it of real service, and
when is it nothing but relic Of the
past? An authoritative English pub
Iication answers that in these days OF
progress it is we'll to recognize where
the line may be, and iS,discreetly drawn
as regards chaperones. At large invi-
tation balls, subscription balls. charity
balIs-in fact at all public balls aud at
all invitation balls given on large
scale-chaperonage is imperative, and IS
both protection and an assistance.
Naturally. the best chaperOnage for
daughter or daughters is that of moth
er or of a father. while that of mar
ried sister almost equals, and at times
surpasses, it. Relatives of a less near
degree rank next III order, and then
steps in that very large class OF chape--
rOnes known as intimate friends and
acquaintanceS.
Where may chaperonage be dispensed
with? Well, at the dances, large and
small, where it is understood that chape-
rones are not invited with young ladies.
No mothers. no aunts, no married SIS
ters-young people only. The advant-
numerous. To wit, mothers and chape-
rones are pleased not to be obliged to
take their daughters to dance where
space for dancing is limited, where the
rooms are small and where they-the
chaperones-help to overcroWd them,
say forty chaperoneS to eighty girls, the
numbers are overwhelming, and even
when a drawing room is set apart for
their use they still overweight the
dancers.
Again, ,chaperones req ulre supper ana
men to take them in to supper, and this
is a serious consideration when dance
is to be given, and SwellS the expenses
considerably. At dances to which
chaperons are not asked the ball supper
is not feature. The supper is OF the
simplest character, and oftener stu
light refreshments only are provided.
Dancing begins at 9 and terminates be-
tween II and l. These dances are
chiefly given for the amusement OF
young girls who are just out. Inc
guests, however, are not limited to this
particular age, but include all who ale
still in the dancing age, whatever that
NAV be. With some it ceases to be very
early; with others it is prolonged lndeh-
nitely.
Dances without chaperones are quite
distinct from the orthodox dances-al-
most little balls in their way-not given
for young girls only, but for general So
ciety, which includes married couples
Young enough to dance, mothers with
daughters, and all on the visiting list OF
the giver whom it is considered adylsa-
BILE to invite.

ELENORA DUsE.
The Italian Actress Who Is Max
ing New York Hit.

The Italian Actress Who Is Max
ing New York Hit.
Of Elenora Duse, the Italian actress
who this week made her debut at the
Fifth Avenue theater, New York, cor
respondent says:
''She has face whose general eX-
preston in repose is rendered sorrow
full. There is even a pathetic sadness
about the features, and this may be the
result of early trials in poverty, or it
may be the outward shadow Of the
Woman's tendencies mentally. We have
not yet seen enough OF her to know
clearly what her normal condition may
be. Her face and her work thus far
are the only bases upon which Judg-
ment may be formed. To say that Duse
is pretty would be to belittle her: to say
that she is beautiful would involve
a misunderstanding. And yet she is
head. with hair that is black. And her
hair is one of her strongest stage ac-
cessories. 1t is not long. The coil at
the back of her bravely lined head IS
small. The growth near the edge of the
low, straight forehead, is too long to
hgure as bang, and too short to reach
or be fastened in the close coil at the
back. This unconfned black name
does not flare wildly about, nor is it
fastened into place; it just flows back
ward from the shapely temples in
waves that give tone of nobility some
how-Of freedom and of earnestness.
In moments Of distraction or of mental
stress the woman's thin nervous fingers
sweep over and through these black
waves, smoothing them to clearer out
line her head, or loOSening them SO that
they fall over her temples and her
shapely ears.
The body of SignOra Duse is strong
and supple. land the women who saw her
debut said they knew she wore no cor
sets. Her action was unconstrained
and gracefully free. The arms are thin,
one would at first believe, and yet they
are not without feshly grace. The
fingers are slender and long, and they
are used effectively in moments of de-
liberation or intentneSs. The teeth are
so white, so even, SO large, and vet so
small, that they serve to brighten the
woman's dark face. They are a foil to
the deep-set black eyes. Against the
cleaning WhiteneSS of the teeth the
lines Of the woman's red lips play eff
fectively in love or passion. Thin these
are, yet not those of the ascetic. Ten
derouS they are, and quick to laugh or
mourn. They twitch and tremble with
SOFT emotions, and they draw down
with pitiful tension -Womanly tension
is most pitiful to see-when stress of
anger or regret stirs the Woman'S

Annie O'NeiIl will have the chief fenl-

Among the list of good things to be
furnished by the Metropolitan opera
house during the month of February
none will be more thoroughly appre-
ciated than Prof. Hermann, who al
ways manages to amuse and instruct
large audiences by his wonderful tricks
and feats OF magic.
Among the early bookings at the
Grand opera house may be mentioned
Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown" Han

The Plunger," and Lillian Lewis in
LADY Lii"
E. S. Willard has contracted with R..
NJ. Hooley to be the summer attraction
at Hooley's theater. Chicago. He will
revive 1.-The Professors Love Story"
and will appear in at least one new play
during his engagement.
The LilllputianS drew big houses the
week of the 10th in Kansas City. They

The past week has been one of fun,
frolic and laughter at the local theaterS.
The Press club benefit was the main
event, and the entertainment offered
was worthy of the great audience pres
ent. AS an annual event this benefit for
the newspaper workers is well estab-
liShed, and grows i'll scope and merit
with the passing years. Never during
the year is such an aggregation of talent
punched on one stage, and never do the
participants. professional and amateur,
exert themselves to please and entertain
as on the occasion of the Press club
benefit. This fact the people knoW,a
as a result they are ever liberal in pa
tronage. A neat sum was realized by
this years event, and its general sue
cess was in keeping with former efforts.
OF Evans and Hoey in "A Parior
Match" the public never seems to tire.
Old HoSs, of course, is whole show in
himself, and when aided by the ludlc-
rous antics of Evans, the sprlghtliness
and general breeZineSS of Minnie
French, coupled with the fact that the
company they bring is always first
class, there is no obstacle to unlimited
enjoyment of the specialties they clus-
ter about the action of the hunt for
treasure. Crowds have flocked to see
them in sufficient force to fill the house
at each performance, and general salts
faction has been the rule. In his earlier
days OH the stage Evans could be cred
tied with a great deal more work than
he does now, but Hoey we'll SustainS
his reputation as one of the most faith
full workers in the theatrical line.
Charles l.. Davis and company have
delighted large gatherings at the
Grand during the week with the old
familiar calvin Joslin." The actor and
his play have held place as favorites in
the affections of tie people for many
years. Their grip on, popular favor
seems not to loosen with the flight of
time, and the honest, quiZzical, aggres-
sive old farmer is as chic and acceptable
today as when his hair was thicker and
his face freSher.
The Olympic goes Oh its weekly way
with little boasting, but house full
of enjoyment for its patrons. Olio or
burleSque are ever of a go0u class. and
the management has realized this fact
and catered to it by providing some
thing just a little better than the last
each time. Manager Abbey means to
keep his house solid with the amuse-
ment seeking public at all times, and
success is crOwning his efforts.

matters that are outside of their es-
pecial domain that would prove quite as
enjoyable to men as to women.
TO say that dress is the all-absorbing
item of chat when men are not by is as
silly as to contend that men at once dis.
cuSs the relative merits of their tailOrs
directly they are alone. Indeed.
woman's conversation is governed by
the same motives and impulses that in

fluctuations on Change. They speak
on that which is of common interest
and which is part and parcel of their
daily lives.
There are many well-informed wo-
men who could cope successfully with
the opposite sex in any argument they
choose to begin, yet these same women
can likewise chat glibly on fashion, the
servant question or the ingredients of
cake. However, man has his fixed idea
about the scope of the feminine mind,
and he will probably never be convinced
that woman is of necessity either a do
meStlc nOnentity. fashionable doll or a
strong-minded individual who talks of
rights aud suffrage. He cannot realize
all at once that these three individuals
can all be rolled into one bright and
clever woman, yet the brightest stars in
the literary firmament are living proofs
that one need no less be womanly in
order to speak and write well of the
great questions of the day.

THE HEROIC DRAMA.
Edwin Arden Will Exempiify 1t
Tonight


Tonight.
A new play and new star to this city
will be seen tonight at the Grand. Ed
win Arden, the star, is young man
whose particular line of characters is
that known as the heroic, and he has
acquired considerable fame throughout
the country during several seasons past
as player Of this kind of parts; he is
said to haveNXceedingly fine stage pres
ence, and his work is most finished and
pleasing to his audiences. The play,
eagles Nest" is sensational play of
the melO-6ramatic order. and, per con-
sequence, abounds in highly wrought
up scenes and startling and thrill
ing climaXes. 1t is picturesque
and is one of the best of this particular
kind of dramatic productions. In addi-
ton to the strength OF the play, one of
the most interesting features of Mr..
Arden'S engagement will be the fact
that he is surrounded by what is un-
doubtedly the best company engaged in
presenting this particular class of en-
tertainment. The mere mention of the
fact that Frank Losee and Marion Ell
more, both Well-knoWn local favorites,
are leading members of Mr.. Arden's
company is Il sufficient guarantee of the
fact that the characters OF the play are
in most capable hands. The entire pro-
duction is spoken of as most meritori-
Gus, and one that commendS itself to
the many theatergOerS who delight in
this class of stage work

Now is the time when the prudent
woman makes her preparations for
spring work. Notwithstanding all of
the abuse to which the bargain counter
and its frequenters have been subjected
it remains just the same, and is more

get things made up ahead, and as the
new ginghams, Zephyrs and chambreys

WHAT WOMEN TALK ABOUT.

An Error Deeply Rooted in Mems

So many men think that directly a

is quite the reverse of what does actually
occur. Yet it is probable that man in
his superior wisdom will go on thinking
he knows it all until the end Of the
world.

to each other on topics of especial inter-
est in the feminine world, yet there are
