OF course there is always one feature

cases it is their extreme beauty. in others
their personal magnetism, and Oft
times their captivating smiles which hold
men entranced. But there is nothing that
can make the woman of today so attract
i've as a fashionable tailor made suit, and
speaking of tailor made suits. there is no
one In the city who can turn them out
with the same swell effect and recherche

dergoing a complete change. suggested by
a well-known architect and designer, to
make it the very SWEETEST in Washington.
Mr.. Schwartz has only recently returned
from New York. where he purchased an
elegant line of spring and summer goods,
and also engaged the services OF dozen
of the best workmen obtainahle, all Of
whom were formerly employed by the WE'LL

Mr.. Schwartz will only be able to accom-

protect those who have regularly patronized
him. In this line he will offer some OF the

1t is strange, indeed. how opinions will
be formed by the general public in regard
to medicines or treatments which are sub
mitted for their inspection. AS an instance
l will cite the case of "Kretol.' which has
almost become household word In the
city, and which is believed by many to be
a medicine or remedy by that name. OK
course this comes from the fact that the
Kretol Chemical Company are beyond
doubt the best experts in this vicinity in
cases OF catarrh and catarrhal disorders

Company at 1924 Street. and see IL they

The happi- ness of brother and his sweetheart Is also jeopardized by these constant fam fly quarrels, real and imaginary. John Weatherby and his wife provide the chief entertainment of the play. Intro duced at dinner, dining together in an almost idyllic manner, these lovable old people capture the audience instantly,

bury is Spirited Away.
 Mena Ryle, who was kidnapped by her father on Christmas day, had been kept in some secure hiding place and could not be found until yesterday morning. when it was learned that the child was in Boston with its grandpar- ents. Mena is the twelve-year-old daughter of Mrs. Charles A. Neider, of SS Congress avenue. The child was spending the holidays in Danbury when she was spirited away.
 Mrs. Neider is divorced from the child's father and has married again. Yesterday morning a letter was receiy- ed from one John H. Lee that the child was with MT. Ryle's parents in Boston and that she was making a visit there and would return home when she fin- ished it.
 Enclosed in the letter, written in lead mcneil. was a note by the child which stated that she didn't desire to come home because she was having good time.
 Mrs. Neider consulted Attorney Good hart, with the outcome that he wired to Boston that if the child was not return ed to Mrs. Neider's home on Congress avenue in thirty-six hours he would take steps to have requistion papers made out for the grandparents and the father of the child in Boston.
 The warrants for the people had not been taken out last night up to mid night, but Attorney Goodhart was awaiting the expiration of the time set.

THE JO OURNEYMEN TATLORS.
Voted Last Night to Accept No Reduc.
 ton i'm Wages.

There was big meeting of the jour
 neymen tailors last night in the Street
 building at the corner of State and
 Chapel streets, called for the purpose ot
 taking action on the cut in wages threatened by some of the master tail | ors and which is already announced to take place at the establishment of I.
 kleiner & Son at 1908 Chaper street af-
 ter tomorrow. By unanimous vote 1t was decided to accept no cut in wages ana that strike would go into effect thls morning by the thirteen or fifteen Journeymen in the Kleiner store. These men it seems are not doing work for klelner alone but are employed by other tailors in the city and it was voted last night that if any of the other bosses for whom they work threaten or announce a cut in wages that there will be general and sym pathetic strike declared The men last night were very emphatic in their terms and they freely discussed the matter at the conclusion of the meet ing. It was the general impression that some Of the other master tailors would follow in the steps of Mr. Kleiner and for this reason it was deemed advisa- Die to come to some agreement before any announcement was made.
 The cut in prices at the Kleiner es- tablishment will be 25 per cent. on vests and pants and 10 per cent. on coats. Up to 1899 and from 1872 the journey men had been getting less money for piece work than they get at the present time and in that year there was a raise of 25 per cent. on vests and trousers and 10 per cent. on coats This plan had worked well and it was thought that it would continue for some time to come. The master tailors now claim that the present season is dull one and that they are justified in cutting prices. The journeymen say that they will stick to their vote of last night and that no concessions will be made what ever.
 The meeting last night was attended by about 150 of the journeymen and nearly all of the officers of the Trades Council. David Belasco and Joseph Mulvey were there and talked to the journeymen at length and all of the members of the union were given a chance to express their opinion on the subject They were unanimous in the opinion that there should be no reduc- tion in prices The meeting adjourned about il o'clock, and 1t Is expected that another meeting will be held in the near future if there Is any trouble over the strike.
