TAKE YOUR SOUP
In THIS WAY
Remember That It Is a Feat Tho
Can Be Performed Gracefully
or Badly.
BY Helen Ward.

I think it was Emerson who said he
should prefer to sit at table with a per-
feet hammered scoundrel than take his
meals with the honestest man in the
world who ate with his knife and made q
gurgling noise in taking his soup.
Most dinners begin with soup. AT for
NAL dinners oysters or CLAIMS are served
as a preliminary course, but SOUP is con-
sidered of itself a proper beginning Of
the important meal of the day.
Soup is served in plates, not bowls.
The soup spoon is laid on the right. Of
the plate.
The soup plate should never be filled
to the rim of the bow part of the plate.
1t is not allowable to ask for a second
helping of soup.
Soup is eaten with a tablespoon, not
a dessert spoon, such as one is fur
nished with at some of the restaur-
ants.
In taking the soup up, dip the spoon
from you in the plate; drink or eat it
for the proper term is in dispute
from the side next you, and never from
the tip of the boon.
This is where the mustache misery
sets in.
For you may not take soup except
from the side, and then you must do
it without the noise or sound. A man
with a mustache must use his napkin
after each mouthful and remove all evil
dences of the liquid.
Nothing is so vulgar as the kissing
sound which only an unrefined man or
woman makes when partaking of q
liquid.
OF course one must not cool ones
portion of soup by blowing on it.
And beware of the temptation to tip
the plate so as to catch the last spoon
full.
Soup is only intended as a prepara-
ton for the remainder of the meal.
Do not appear to regard it as the en-.
tire feast.
Sherry wine is served with soup at a
formal dinner, and is always appropriate
with this course.
Bread is served with soup. Tt must not
be broken into the soup, out should be
eaten in fragments from the left hand.
Butter is not served at dinner.

bon, or of tulle, and are arranged as
lightly and airily as possible.
Little coats are brilliantly lined with
plaids and embroidered silks so hat they
present a really pretty appearance when
the coat is carried on the arm.
The latest fad in summer coats is the
deep cuff made of the same material as
the lining, looking as though the sleeve
were turned back at the wrist. The cuffs
are sometimes very deep and flaring and
altogether pretty.
Mrs. Ogden Goelet, the leader of the
American smart set now in Paris, wears
a black satin cloth Eton. lined with white
satin. and with deep white satin cuffs
turned smartly back at the wrists. The
coat is collarless, but is worn with a
thick, soft tour de cou of white satin rib
bon and tulle. The ends are finished
with ribbons that fall below the waist.
MRS. ISELIN'S GOWN.
Mrs. c.. Oliver Iselin, who has been dis
.inguishing herse-i on the golf links, was
present at the opening days of the eX-
position and was eXquisitely gowned in a
bluebird cloth with a box plated back;
the skirt was provided with a tunic, fall
ing over the front and side breadths only.
The tunic was finished with a tiny cord
of black satin, below which set a ripple
of lace.
The cost of many of the new fabrics
precludes them from common wear.

Kernaa,s-aMerry Mnidens.u

Manager Herman has obtained something
really new for the attraction at the Ly-
ceum this week in Jacobs and Lowry s
Merry Maidens," and the two large au-
diences which applauded the opening per-
formances yesterday afternoon and even
ing paid tribute to the talent OF the en-
tertainers. The maidens, who compose
the larger portion of the company. are
merrier and more tuneful than ever be-
fore, and are all well enough formed to
lay claim to positions in the front row.
The young women are given ample oppor-
tunity to display their charms in the
opening burlesque. "a Night at the French
Ball" Nellie Hanly. who has won the
prefix of Jolly" for her efforts at fun
making. is one of the features Of the bit.
and scores as a local favorite.
The olio contains many good features,
particularly Prof. Won Palms Enchanted
Pictures" which are wcrth several sights.
The pictures were given a score of re-
calls yesterday, and will be talked about.
Ford and Dot West, also old favorites,

team of funny comedians. Schultz and
Derane are cleved acrobats and laugh pro-
ducers. and Josie Flynn sings we'll. Nellie
Hanly closes the oIio with a new series
of illustrated songs and made big hit
yesterday. The tribulations of "A Merry
Maiden's Lovers" wind up very satisfac-
tory bill, and one that is sure to draw
crowded houses. Matlnees daily.

Nationalist Royal Rague ~

"a Royal Rogue" which received its
primal Washington presentation last nv-
enlag, is neither opera, ma:;ical farce. nor
operetta, while resembling each in sever
al ways. Yet whatever variety TO which
it beIongs-or If belonging to none or all
Of them-it Is pleasing and clean, and so
the auditor and observer is satisfied.
Jefferson DeAngelis, whom many have
for years considered one of the most
unique Of operate comedians, assumed the
title role of "A Royal Rogue and is well
fitted for the task. The book is BY Charles
Klein, and is not startlingly original in
any way, while pleasing always.
There is jingle about the music of "a
Royal Rogue" that is particularly pleas
ing Nor is there a paucity Of it. On the
contrary, the numbers follow fast one up
on the other. The first act gives "Drop.

chnse,s New Grand-vnudeviIIe.


A combination of entertainers difficult
to equal, either as to variety or quality,
is presented in the bill with which Man
age- Chase opened the week at his play
house yesterday afternoon Melody and
mirth, monOlOgue and song, all go to make
up two and a half hours of good, solid en-
joyment.
Lockhart's elephants still hold first place
on the programme and are a source OF
wonder to all that have seen them. These
great beasts were brought from Indian
wilds by Mr.. Lockhart and are the most
perfectly trained animals of their kind
Many new specialties have been added to
those of last week and the intelligence
with which the elephants perform their
separate feats is at once proof of their
aptitude and a tribute to the patience of
their trainer.
The Rossow Midgets renewed the good
impression they made at the Grand last
year. These little fellows, Charlie and
Frank. are the smallest athletes and
wrestlers in the world, and their prize
fight in miniature ring is a very unique
act. Charlie Rossow makes a distinct hit
as John Philip Sousa. directing the orches-
ira in one of Sousa's marches with all the
well-known mannerisms of the March
King" The Smedley Sketch Club gave
Katherine Stages one-act comedy drama,
The Little Mother" which served to in
troduce two of the cleverest child artists
on the American stage, Ellis and Edwin
Smedley, who do the balcony scene from
Romeo and Juliet" While their reading
may not be exactly as Shakespeare would
have had it. nevertheless it is cleverly done
and with surprising intelligence. The we'll
known Clipper Quartette. in good old time

The Lnfnyette-"Fnust.n

The season of 190019g1 vas inaugurated
at the Lafayette Square Opera House last
evening by a performance of Lewis Nor
rison's version of Goethe's Faust" The
audience seemed to be pleased with the
production, the spectacular features of
which have always been popular The
character of Mephisto was essayed by
Enroll Dunbar, who. though painstaking
in his portrayal Of the tempter, at times
sacrificed the artistic to the melodra-
matte. The anachronistIc feature of Il
quartette, which sang modern songs. was
prominent in the first act, but proved sat
isfactory to the audience, since it receiy-
ed numerous encores. Frank Tanning.

and earnest in his reading. Miss Gene

large share of the applause during the
entertainment and her Interpretation OF
the unsophisticated maid was in many re-
spects commemorate and artistic
Mrs. Selby Tapsfeld, in the role Of Mar
tina, furnished considerable amusement,
although her conception of the character
was somewhat boistereus compared with
that OF her predecessors in Morrison's
production. Faust" will be produced

with dainty melodies, ''Ding. Dong"
When She is Married.; THE Gallant
General" and When We Have Winei and
DiIed' being among the most tuneful.
The orchestra last evening was under the
direction of the composer, William T.
Francis, and the many pretty airs were
well rendered in response to his baton.
Not since The French Maid have as
clever lyrics been written as those of
"A Royal Rogue The lines of the songs
are those of Grant Stewart. previously
known locally by Mistakes viii Happen,
and his personal appearance in ''Trelaw-
ney of the Wells" Washington likes him
best as a lyrist. His lines are bright,
jingling, and full of humor, and did not
in the least suffer by their rendition by
the DeAngels band of artists.
To the average theatregoer, however.
the presentation is the essential for en-
tertainment, matter how good the
music may be, how clever the story, or
witty the lyrics. For these there is lit
tie left 20 be desired. He will ind in Jeh
DeAngelis the same eccentric, unique
comedian as of yore, the same grotesque
dances, the same drolI expressions and
facile countenance. He is as original as he
is Industrious and each characteristic is
given full sway in "A Royal Rogue.
Jessie Mackaye is sweet, pretty, viva
cious, and agile as Stephanie. Her work
is an improvement over that with the

Hashim,s MISUNDERSTANDING.

While Manager Hashim has advertised
but three star acts on the programme
for this week at the Academy of Music,
there are in reality five headliners on
the bill. and each ranks far ahead of
the average leader These, added TO
six of the best speciality turns shown
during the season, comprise al enter
tainment which should draw large
houses during the week and add one
more to the list of successes already
achieved by Manager Hasnim.
Probably the most impressive number
is the violin recital given by Camilla
-Grso, the distinguished virtuoso. Col
umns have been written in appreciation
of Miss Urso. and that she gained five
recalls through her rendition of the
most classical selections is in itself the
highest praise. Corinne. for years the
little queen of comic opera" has also
deigned to enter the realms of vaude-
VILE and was warmly greeted yesterday
She scored pronounced success. al

mandolin playing. Richard Harlow,
