Grant Evans is an ashman, who,

around him and began the customary
taunting. Evans suddenly becoming

stone at his tormentors, the missile
striking a young daughter of Richard

sulting. The injured girl was carried to
her home, on Lafayette street, where
DR.. ]. ]. Roberts attended to the in

A Note for Wnmen

Few women realize the great difference
there is in the quality of thread not only il
its strength but in its smoothness and mi
formity," said sewing machine man. "It's
a fact that about half the faults blamed on 8
sewing machine can be traced to poor thread
Kinky cotton is likely to break the needles
throw the tension out, and make the machine
cut up cranky in dozen different ways. Bu
the queer part of it all is that good thread
and poor thread cost the same, and any
woman can get the best by simply asking fol
it. Some time ago the leading sewing ma
chine manufacturers determined to settle the
thread question once and for all. Separate
tests of all spool cotton were made by the
Singer Machine Company, the Wheeler &
Wilson, the New Home, The Standard, The
Domestic, the White and the Davis, and in
every case the Willimantic Six-Cord Spool
Cotton, better known as Willimantic Star
Thread, proved superior to all others. u
THERE'S a suggestion in this fcr every woman
who uses machine or sews by hand.

The Bellies of London met with rather
discouraging reception at the Opera House
last Thursday night. The people of the city
had evidently made the mistake of thinking
that all " "burlesque" companies are alike,
and not woman was in the audience. The
company gave the best performance of its
kind ever given in Ravenna, and one to
which no exceptions could be taken Show
bills are often very deceiving.

rhn pn.slnr o. the rheatre Hat.


The Legislatures Of four states are
now struggling with bills, looking TO the
abolition or at least the suppression Of
the theatre hat, and male patrons Of
farce comedy and drama are extending
their heartiest wishes that their efforts
te pass laws which will remedy this
great and constantly growing evil will be
successful. 1t Is hoped that the solons
Of New York, Massachusetts,, Michigan
and Missouri can and will pull through
the difficulty Of solving the question.
The evil which the proposed bills aim
at is admitted by every one, and BY no
one more than by the gentle offender
herself, especially when chance places
her behind one Of thetowers Of feathers
and ribbons How to secure her from
being annoyed. as well as to prevent her
from annoying others in turn, is the
problem To arrest and lne her, as IL
proposed in some Of the bills, or tC
arrest and fine the theatre manager who
permits the wearing Of the offending
marvels Of millinery art, as proposed II
others, would prove venturesom'
thing, and would result In the loss o.
patronage on the part Of the theatres
II the wives. daughters and sweetheart
refused TO go to the play. the men, wh'
are now the complalnants, would follow
suit and stay away.
The only solution appears to be il
making the removal Of hats in places o
amusement matter Of fashion. Once SO

would be quickly taken up Women are

Of any article to the annoyance Of other
