Glove Time.

Comfort as well as fashion decrees that you must wear gloves these cool, crisp days. Wearing gloves every day means wear for the gloves, so many a woman who is economically inclined will wear, on her shopping tours, a much cheaper glove than she does on dress occasions. A good serviceable glove is a two-clasp kid in black or white, and also in the colors of brown, gray and tan. The price only 7Sc.

 It Is hardly likely. She may have excel lent taste, and know very we'll what suits your style, but in a small town, Or city, the line of goods which she can carry must necessarily be limited. For that req son we would sug- gest to those ladies who would prefer to have their hats trim med by their own millinery, that a good plan Is to take her one of the new nov city shapes that we have just received; and perhaps some of the new c h e nil e grapes (the very lat est and most popular novelty in New York; or the new fancy rib bons.

 ized by such emphatic and unmistake- able marks of success and prosperity that there is no question as to the hearty greeting that will be extended to him during the forthcoming visit All ques- tion as to whether or not Miss Sim plicity" is up to the standard of his earlier triumphs has been set aside by the achievement of this composition in New York. Philadelphia, Boston and oth- CT cities in which it has been thus far seen. Reliable reports from these places are to the effect that the piece offers Daniels by far the best role that he has ever had for the display or those quaint and comical methods that have won him his popularity. and the two authors, R. A. Barnet and Harry Lawson Heartz, are credit ed with having turned out one of the most witty and tuneful pieces of operatic literature that has recently grac- ed the American stage. Several of thu reviewers who have seen the new piece have not hesitated to assert that it is unquestionably the best that Daniels has ever had

mlliar with the humor and clever wit of MT. Barnet as exploited in '1492' and Jack and the Beanstalk." will readily conceive of the delicious run he has doubtless succeeded in extracting from the complications which FOLLOW. And 1t IS not difficult to imagine the funny strug- gles that Daniels puts into his role In an effort to support the dignity of roy alty with a trolley car education as a foundation The exigencies of Miss Sim plicity' are such that MT. Daniels finds it necessary to carry almost twice as many people in his company as he has ever done before. That 1t is an excep- tionally clever organization may be gath cred from the well known names on its roster, among them being Will Danforth. Frank Turner. Mark Lane, John Wheeler. Grace Orr Myers, Kate Uart, May Lowrie, Florence Holbrook and Isabelle D Armonda. As has invariably been his habit, MT. Daniels has taken the utmost care in the selection of his chorus and much stress has been laid upon the youth

eordon.shax Grand Opera Co.

The double bill of "Ii Travatore" at the matinee and Faust in the evening, which has been finally decided upon for the presentations on the occasion of the debut of the Gordon-Shay Grand Opera company at the Jefferson next Wednes- day Matinee and evening" will undoubted- ly meet with popular approval.
 No two more popular operas are extant and so much has been heard about the success of the company in them, that Birmingham music-1overs will undoubt- edly hall their production with approval.
 The performance of Faust" in the evening will probably attract a large and brilliant audience and the old fa- vorite ''n Trovatore" will draw many old friends. especially for the reason that 1t is known In advance that the com pany is fully capable of giving brilliant performance of the work.
 A number of theatre and box parties, 1t is said have already been formed ana the appearance of the company here promises to bring out the fashionable element of the city to large degree.

The period of the piece Is that of today and this fact opens up the way for the introduction of modern costumes, and it is said that many of the gowns for the piece have been imported direct from the swell shops of Paris. In this new character of Blossoms, Daniels is an ex- trolley car conductor who has become the valet to Lord Montfort, a typical young London swell of the day. Montfort by some quirk of European diplomacy, has been appointed king of pocket edi- tion kingdom on the continent and on his way to the coronation. becomes entangled in an affair of the heart with a pretty peasant girl. In preference to giving up the girl, he gives up his prospective throne The only obstacle in his way Is that he must find substitute to accept ' the crown.

Charles B. Hanford.

While "The Tanning of the Shrew" Is sufficient for an evenings bill, 1t is Charles B. Hanford's custom to couple 1t with 'The Old Guard" a one-act play whose pathos and power exceed those of many voluminious tragedies. It is the story of a soldier under Napoleon who cherishes honor above everything, and who Is faithful to a trust even in the face of starvation. In order to preserve the French atmosphere which is essential to proper appreciation of the piece MT. Hanford plays his part with touch of dialect The character is something of a departure from man whose work has been hitherto so closely confined to Eng fish blank verse; but the "Old Guard Is an exquisite bit of literature which is well worthy of recognition among the classics. Audiences who have had the

opportunity to see MT. Hanford in ''The )ld Guard which Is offered as an occa- iional gratuity for arts sake rather than is part of the regular bill, have been nnstinted in manifestations of enthus-
 astic approval.
 This exquisite little play will be given n this city at the Jefferson Friday night and Saturday matinee October 24 and 25 preceding the performance, 'The Tam .ng of the Shrew." It's performance only occupies half an hour and will no doubt De highly enjoyed by the large audience which will undoubtedly attend the per formance. Much Ado About Nothing" will be the bill Saturday night. On Sat urday afternoon a souvenir photo-en- gravure of Mir. Hanford will be presented to eevry lady in attendance.
