Miss TvIer's Gowns.

Miss Odette Tyler who impersonates Lady Teazle in the forthcoming produc- ton of t'rhe School for Scandal at the Jefferson. wears some magnificent gowns. Miss Tyler's Lady Teazle will be of the Watean period. In the ballroom scene she appears in a white and gold bro cade encrusted with pearls and worn over gold-starred petticoat. Her hair is dressed with a diamond aigrette, and the slippers, with their Louis Quintz heels and immense turquoise buckles, are not the least part of this beautiful costume. In the second act is worn a blue and gold brocade dropped over a skirt of duchess lace, studded with rhinestones. This par ticular costume is topped off by what Is known as a beef-eater hat of blue velvet and long plumes. In the famous screen scene Lady Teazle is gowned in brocade of violets and corn flowers. The edge of the frock is trimmed with bands of tiny rosebuds and the sleeves are cascaded with the same flowers. The inside skirt is made of alternate bands of satin and point lace and finished with the rosebud effect The hat Is a Gainesborough of purple velvet trimmed with white feath- CTS. The chef d'oevre of the outlay, how ever, is hand-painted gown which rep resents two months and a half of good hard labor, and done by Miss Tyler her self. It Is pink brocade painted with wreaths of roses, yellow daisies and for get-me-nots. The sleeves are of lace and the flowers have been cut from the silk and transposed to the lace. giving an in- describable effect of flowers. seafoam and silvery spray.

FOOD FOR GIRLS. Should Be Fed Just Right When
 Growing.

When parents are at a loss to know what kind of food to supply their boys and girls it will interest them to know selection of food that actually does re- build and nourish the young folks in their school duties.
 A school girl in Springneld, Mass. writes. q wonder if you care to hear from schoolgirls, and I wonder, too, if you have any idea how many girls there are who are troubled as l was be- fore I used GrapeNuts Food.
 About a year ago I began to have severe headaches and could not sleep well. Was so nervous that I would cry at the least little thing. and finally be- gan to have attacks of faintness. My parents were much alarmed and thought I would be obliged to give up studying. Our physician said my trouble was ex- treme nervousness ana disordered stomach.
 I was tired all the time and rode home to walk Mother tried to tempt my ap- petite in every way. Breakfast did not care for. Meat I could not endure and the different cereals I dld not like as a rule.
 I attended the high school and we have an excellent lunch room in the building. As I kept getting worse mamma said am going to try this Grape-Nuts Food that I see advertised but I am afraid you will not like it. Well she got package of 1t and it was so delicious in taste. with a little cream poured over 1t that I liked 1t at once and since then Grape-Nuts has formed the principal part of my breakfast. have also a banana or orange with now and then an egg.
 I wish you could see the difference in me. cannot tell how much I have gained in weight for did not know my weight when I was i'll. but the differ ence is great. As for strength, I walk both ways to school and do not feel at all weary from 1t.
 I can study much better and am en- tirely free from headaches; I am sc we'll in fact, that am very happy. fall asleep almost as soon as my head touches the pillow and rest thoroughly
 I am afraid my letter is lengthy. bui my subject is Grape-Nuts of which l cannot say too much. Clara l.. Condon
 The mother adds to this letter. .sl would like to add just a line expressino my gratitude also for the benefits which my daughter has derived from Grape. Nuts. Respectfully, Mrs. I. c. Condon. \

ModIeska-James In Henry VIII. The production tonight at the Jef- ferson Theatre of Henry vIIL by
 Wagenhals and Kemper, with Madame Modjeska and Louis James at the head of the cast is an event long looked for ward to by the casual and regular play goer alike The appearance of Modjeska alone, whose pre-eminence in tragic, TO- mantio and emotional roles is recognized the world over, would in itself be of suf- f1cient importance to call for more than ordinary comment. Now that she is as- sociated with MT. Louis James, however, the importance attaching to her appear ance is greatly enhanced, for in the dramatic contention of the play she is thereby assured of an opponent worthy her genius. MT. James has following scarcely less formidable or enthusiastic than that of Modjeska, his remarkable versatility which has so frequently sur prised both his critics and his audience having made him one of the most popu- lar actors of the present decade on the legitimate stage.
 Those who are familiar with Henry VIII can see in the role of Queen Katherine what opportunity there is for the won drous art of Modjeska- The career of this noble queen was one long defensive war against the selfish, callous. sensuality of
 her ignoble spouse, and the hypocrisy of a corrupt church, which finally swept her from the throne. The part has some great moments, such as during her trial
 by the ecclesiastical court, her plea for
 the life of Buckingham, and in her sew eral interviews with Wolsey. the Kings | favorite. In these scenes Modjeska should | reach heights unattainable by her con- l temporaries. In the character of Cardinal Wolsey, 1t is said MT. Louis James ap- 1 pears to better advantage than ever be- | fore. The rise and fall of this famous | prelate is a study that only Shakespear- can actors of MT. James standing could appreciate, let alone realize. MT. James should be able to wildly emphasize the pitiless ingratitude of Henry VIII, and that eloquence for which MT. James is so noted could have no better opportunity of expression than in the famous speech familiar to almost every schoolboy where in he bids farewell to his ambition and his greatness.
 As a production the revival of Henry VIII by Wagenhals and Kemper is said to rival the best offerings of the legitimate stage in several years, not even except
 ing those of MT. Mansfield or the late Au-
 gustus Daly. The scenes, which are said
 to be the most remarkable for elaborate detail, are the banquet hall in Cardinal | Wolsey's house, the ecclesiastical court l at Blackfriars, the vision where Rather
 inc breathes her last moments, and the coronation of Anne Bullen. These are said to be designed with scrupulous fidelity
 to his story and tradition, and are said
 to be very effective. now bewildering the
 spectator with their pomp and glitter.
 now lending the enchantment of dream
 Fifty people will be used in the produc-
 ton of Henry VIII in this city.
