coLUMBIAs BILL CHANGED.
Hollands Produce Their Last sea-

f. NJ. and Joseph Holland last night
changed their bill at the Columbia Theater.
No improvement could he made upon the
| exquisite satisfaction Of the double bill
which sent the audiences of the earlier
nights OF the week into cCstaCy, but ii IS
only fair 10 say the new bill, which is
an old bill, was quite satisfactory.

Phipps Trains novel, a Social High
wayman,' was the play, and there he
! those who prefer it to anything the Hol-
lands have given.
The piece is not new to Washington
1t was given during an entire week at
the Lafayette Square last year. during
which time all Washington did not become
acquainted with it. though its praises
were later spread abroad, and the result
or their sowing is seen in the harvest
which the box office makes on the blay
this year. Twice as many people will
probably see "A Social Highway,nan''
during this last half OF the week as saw
the double bill earlier
In This generous public makes no mis-
tike. An evening spent with the Hollands
is tribute of devotion at tile shrine Of
mshest and finest art. In speaking Of
the actors affection takes the place Of
criticism, and emotion banishes all tech
meal calculations of their work. for their
spen is wonderful as their work is rnsur-
passed.
The play at present engaging their
ei1orts rs an instructive demonstration of
several points in dramatic art. +. NJ.
Hollands performance of the iynx-eyed
valet, jenkins Handy, is evidence of the
broad possibility OF utter naturalism raised
10 dramatic dignity by few well-ordered
strokes. During the first act the irnpur-
turbable rascal commands the attention
OF every one before him by his silence and
his eye.
Inc itrst act is a desert of words made
Verdant and fruitful by as fine ensemble
work as the best stock company in the
country can boast The meat of the act
liz Two situations and a significant curtain
speech yet the attentionts riveted through
out and admiration commanded. Later
there is spiritualistic seance. which is
managed with such consummate dplicacy
,nat the skeptical can but keep silent. the
peheVers are not offended, and there is
general forgiveness for the admirable re-
suit which is achieved by its means.
other points there are about this play V
which careful observers will note with de-
light at the splendid union Of words and
dramatic artifce
The acting of the stars ma be dismissed
with single word, it is be yond criticism
Ihe balance of the cast are entirely new
to their characters, excepting Miss Oliver
as Sonora Caprices. (which is Il much finer
and more event y finished piece Of work than
anything else she dies, partly because of
adaptaDllity of temperament, and Miss Ethel
Douglas as the medium, a dignified piece
OF work, for whichtti impossible to COM
mend her too highly. Miss Radcliffe made
her first appearance in the cast this week
and pla yed Elenor Burnham delightfully."-

To Use Old Napery,

Table cloths that are much worn in the
center will often have edges that are really
stout and strong enough to make napkins
that will prove amply good to find their
wayinto the children's school lunch baskets.
The school lunch basket, it is well known,
is a fatal spot to place napkin that is the
least valuable.
The towels with much worn centers make
excellent wash cloths. and il doubled and
bound with tape, admirable eating bibs for
the small boys and girls of the family. The
old to wei wash cloths are much better minus
herns. deep overcasting and linen floss being
a more comfortable finish for the edges.

mode of finishing table linen that the neat
house wife is ever proud to have her very
best table cloths and napkins thus finished.

the great question before the people.
The government is now running be-
