The prevalence of wolves aud the
depredations of these animals, on
game and stock, led the county
board at it's meeting on Friday last
to treble the amount of county
bounty on these animals, making
the present bounty scale as follows:
$25 for female killed during the
months of January to May inclusive
and $3.50 at any other season; $3.50
for full-grown male at any sea-
son; $500 for female cub and $500
for a male cub.
THE street railway company has
received everything desired from
the city council, and are at liberty
to lay one mile of track within two

relative to completion of the sys-
tenn. 1t is hoped, however, that if a
start on the proposed line is ever
made it may be completed to con-
meet range points without delay,
despite the fact that such provision
is not inculcated in the ordinance
drafted. In this way the new line
would certainly become of com.
mercial value to Virginia.

Dressing the Part.
The election of the gown may make
or mar the sketch. There have been
women on the stage whose dramatic
gift was never questioned, women OF
whom critics sang eulogies and whose
art thrilled men. Yet they lacked pow
er to enthrall their own sex. Women
of intelligence and artistic apprecia,
ton would say:
"Ah, yes she is clever marvellous. but
why don't she dress her parts? She
destroys the Illusion. Her gowns strike
the discordant note in the stage pic
ture."
So the third and last work laid out
for Miss Burkhart is the selection of
her frocks. AS she invariably plays the
we'll bred society woman, she must
consider always what such woman,
accustomed to luxury, would select for
the occasion represented during those
brief twenty minutes.
If she is playing debutante she eff
fects that simplicity so fetching-and
so expensive. The sweet girl gown Is
always fragile and unsuited to contact
with stern realities behind the scenes.
Is the maiden in the raptures of her
first love affair? Be sure that her gown,
Ike her view of life, will be pale rose
colored. Or let it be the matron. still
ruling her little social world, and the
frock will simmer and glitter. The
debutante may wear a modest chiffon
ehoux or a pale rose in her hair.
Milady will select the aigrette of os-
trich tips or a jeweled sunburst. 1t is
the smallest accessories that seem to
strike the critical feminine eye. A wo-
man can detect at a glance the cotton
drop skirt with it's sham ruffie of silk.

gled gown will dim it's luster. A bou-
quet of artificial flowers will cheaper

permanent, sketch and Gown-If
Women Demand Much of Their
Much I'm Return.
New York, Jan. 31.-So much has
been written about men of the stage
whose success is due to the loyal fol-
lowing of matinee girls one is apt to
forget that similar office is performed
for actresses by these same matinee
girls, their older sisters, cousins, aunts
and mothers. In reality. women nave
made more actresses than actors, and
have made them more absolutely sure
of their positions.
Lillian Burkhardt, the highest sal
aried Coincidence in vaudeville, frankly
admits that she owes her success en-
tirely to her following among women
and young girls. Nor does she deny
that it is her constant aim to main
tain and increase this following.
The three most powerful allies en-
ployed in wooing her own sex are tenn
permanent, sketch and gown. And the
greatest of these Is gown? Well, per-
haps!
By nature she is a wonlan's woman,

ing them in charming lavishness with
all her evening gowns. so wholly are
floral garnitures deemed the thing"
this winter and so exquisitely pretty
are all the corsage wreaths, crowns,
coronets and chaplets or artificial
bloom that numbers of matrons, privi-
legged to bind their hair with pearls and
crystalize their bodices with diamonds,
have put aside the gems for the buds
and blossoms
When it is a question OF rose buds,
the smart idea is a combination of
Banksia roses with sweet briar foliage,
and what allures all Womankind Is the
irresistible designs in which the garni-
lures can be purchased. Just at this
juncture in social affairs many an
evening gown requires restorative
touch, and here the corsage arrange
ments fit nobly into the breach. There
is no troublesome question OF deciding
how TO put the trails or garlands In
place, because, IL you know before
hand what you want, the wreath can
be bought already shaped to mt over
the bleak, or shabby spot.
Very fresh and slim debutantes, who
know a good idea when they see 1t,
have a marked weakness for shaded
convolvulers garlands so worked up
b.
that the flowers and leaves alone form
the complete and most elaborate trim
ming for a decollete net or chiffon
waist, and among the young girls the
rule is to wear in the hair a chaplet
or spray of the same flower that
decorate the bodice. One of the most
lovely and popular of this winters
garnitures is made Of black and white
velvet Marguerites. This completely

and from the left side falls a shower
Of green and white panne ribbon ends.
A coronet of Marguerites is arranged
in the hair, and, as a rule, the CO.
quettish floral crowns are tied In the
rear with black baby velvet ribbons.
When a matron assumes the. sim
plicity of flowers her tendency wisely
leans toward splendid shaded velvet
camellas worked up with shining silk
silver maple leaves, or she adopts big
white silk roses and foliage OF shaded
panne. The older woman's corsage
flowers are preferable treated with the
sparkling powder called diamante. or
she takes kindly to the huge trans
parent goura flowers, every petal of
which is outlined with minute paste
stones while the head piece OF topped
off with an osprey.
Such obvious artificiality the newly
introduced bud tries TO avoid. and
when her little net or chiffon gown is
very plain and not very fresh she let's
fall, from one side or other OF her
corsage garniture, a series OF panne
ribbons upon the skirt. Every RIB
bon end IS gathered into looped bow

dience may never reach that standard,
but she absolutely insists that her ia
vorite actress shall rise to it in every
role she assumes. She must be loyal
and brave, yet not take life too seri-
ously. She must be affectionate, but
never a maudlin. She must rise to the
proper appreciation of a dramatic sit
uation, yet maintain a certain degree
of simplicity and naturalness. She
must breathe forth youth, vivacity and
sweetness. This much and nothing less
do women demand of their own sex on
the stage.
And woe unto that actress who, hav-
ing once been placed upon the pedestal
of feminine affection, steps down so
much as the fraction of an inch. The
wrath of her followers would drive her

to bear upon her work the cunning of

out against the "sacrilege." Let her
rival Rose Coghlan as the woman with
a past, yet will her admirers basely de-
sert her and inquire breathlessly what
she has come to.
Women Write Best for Women.
Having decided upon the general
character of the role she is to play,
Miss Burkhart then searches for some
one to write a sketch around the part.
She has been searching for years for
the twenty-minute playlet which Will

ager. Men offer her the largest number
of sketches, but women writers seem
to appreciate her needs more clearly
and to fit her better with roles. Wo-
men are also more patient in rewriting
until they do suit her.
Here is a case in point:
Two seasons ago. when Miss Burk-
hart was playing a Western city, she
was asked to read sketch by a local
newspaper woman. The moment was
inauspicious. Exhausted by long re-
hearsals and suffering with grip, the
actress received her caller in bed and
patiently listened to her reading. When
she informed the ambitious playwright
that the sketch was not in her line. all
undaunted the Wetsern woman said:
well. ! shall come TO see you act
again and again until learn what sort
OF a play you do need. Some day l VIII
write one that does suit you.
And she was true 20 her word. Not
only In the West did she study the ac-
tres, but she followed her TO New
York, and one OF the strongest sue
cesses I'm Miss Burkhart's repertoire to-
day is the final triumph OF the little
Westerner's persistency.
