COST OF STAGE CLOTHES

Fabulous sums are spent upon
gowns which are worn upon the
stage. An eastern paper relates q
story told by Lillian Russell of the
cost Of dressing for public per-
fCimance
Without my jewels" said Miss
Russell, Il wear one costume in
'Hoity-Toity' which cost me over
$1,000. That long lace coat alone
was $4,000. The white broadclotb
gown was $500, the hat, trimmed
with real lace and ostrich plumes.
was 5000, and an old yellow D0inr
applique veil which l wear cost me
$50. In the hat l fasten a diamond
Pin valued at $1,000, but, of course,
as soon as you talk of jewels, the
cost is beyond reckoning.
i spend between $4,000 and
$4,000 a year on my stage gowns
alone. My last Paris gown of white
velvet and crepe de chine, with pale
green velvet panne belt and green
chiffon lingerie, cost $1,000. In The
American Beauty I wore a gown
C0'0l GU "i-h sapphire Spangles cost

A magnificent ermine-trimmed
opera cloak worn by Mrs. Patrick
campbell in "Madga" has been mucn

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

The punching bag solves the prob
lem for indoor exercise on days when
the weather does not permit of out
door exercise. In fact, its daily use
is advocated to develop lightness of
foot, graceful poise and springy step,
and as the object of all exercise is to
make the blood circulate perfectly
nothing could be better for yelvety,
rosy complexion than the punching
bag. 1t brings into play every muscle
of the body, waist and abdomen are re-
duced, hollow and sunken cheeks filled
out, weak lungs and weak muscles are
strengthened and the stout girl grows
thin and the thin girl grows plump. 1t
has an eXhilarating effect mentally
hence many cases of the ''blues" have
been cured.
The bag should hang about the
height of the shoulder and the stroke
should be made from that level. A
pair of light knuckle gloves is neces-
sary to protect the hands.

the minds of Waldseemuller and his
printed it must have been written, and
before the large map was printed it
had to be engraved, before it was en-
graved ii had to be drawn. before it
was drawn it had to be thought out. and
1t was professedly prepared on Yes
pucian information. Thus the name of
Americas Vespucius must have been
constantly before them for at least
many months prior to the publication
of their large map and accompany
ing book"
The date when the book called Cos
mOgraphiae Introductio" was published
was April 25, 1907. 1t was the first inn
portant work. undertaken by the little
press at st. Die. in France. Gualtier
Lud, about 1870, founded a society in
the little town, the object being the
cultivation of The arts and sciences"
Conspicuous in this "Gymnase
Eosigen," as it called itself, were three
members especially devoted to geo
graphical research. Their names were
Nicholas Lud, Matthias Ringman, and,
last and by no means least, Martin
Waldseemuller, the photographer of
the little society. In the famous
"COsmographiae Introductio." there
are presented some of the old prinef
pies OF geometry and astronomy. and
also an account of the four voyages
OF Americas Vespucius." In the title
of the book there is mention of "a rem
resentation of universal cosmography
both in solido and in plano, on which
We're inserted what to Ptolemy was
unknown and lately discovered"
1t seems as if it were quite certain
that when the "Cosmographiae Intro
ductio" came from the st. Die press
there must have been a map and q
globe, because there are clear descris-
lions of them. The two were, It is
likely, detached, and were to be folded
loose in the work, for the volume was
a kind of handbook. In the text ia
the statement that while the size OF
the globe space had been curtailed,
ample room had been given for the
map. It is further explained that
while the map followed Ptolemy's
manner for the most part, the globe
conformed to the description OF
GeOgraphers of modern times got
into long controversies over the per
formances of Waldseemuller, which
are now finally set at rest by this dis

THE SOLITUDE OF THE SOUL.
To be Continued.

THE SOIL UDE OF HE oOUE.
Whether in calm serenity
From passion, hope and fear set
free
We meet with light, forbearing touch
The lives we know might mean so
much;
Whether we stand with one hand
bound
Where only long-dead love is found,
And helpless on our shoulders bear
The burden of a souls despair,
Welding our lives by sacrifice
Of mutual dreams of paradise
While he that's bound-with covered
eyes
Can see no more the morning skies
Of bright ideals-but still must stand
And bear what fate and law com
mand:
Whether we live alone, apart
And never share our mind and heart;
Whether We passionately fill
Our lives with other lives, until
We dream their dreams and weep
their tears,
Yea. breathe their very breath for
years
One strange, sad truth we learn at
last.
Ere all the hooking years are past
Each soul, with joy or pain imbued,
Must live and ole in solitude.

CHAPTER II.
The Mystery.

Whose picture did you say this
WASP" faltered Blessing.
Thomas Jones. Ora's father. The
man who married my daughter and
then left her to die alone, for fear of
offendin' his rich folks back in New
York. That's him. That's Thomas
Jones. And a good likeness it was
tive Aty years ago.
But Bob Blessing scarcely needed
her. He was saying over and over
to himself.
by all that's wonderful, it is
Thomas Middleton, my partner
Gladys father. Now l begin to- IN
derstand why he opposed our taking
this Lost River contract; why he has
never come out here in person, and
why he objected at first to Claude and
Gladys coming"
Then a new thought occurred to
him.
That story doesn't sound like Mid
dleton. 1t if is true, I believe he
acted as he did through cowardice
rather than from villiany. He would
probably be glad to make amends
if he knew Ora was living. He will
be at Lost River week after next to
look over the aqueduct and bring the
mems back pay. Can't 1 bring about
a meeting?"
The idea took hold of his imagina-
ton.
Mrs. Gates he said aloud, IAN old
friend Of mine-my partner, Mr.
Middleton, in facts coming to our
hotel week after next. There is to be

oOiSE ON HIGH HEELS.

Muscles well developed and vitality
at its best are needed to sustain the
fashionable poise of today with the
easy grace that comes of ACCOMPLISH
ment without effort Fashion DEGREES
high heels and a forward bend at the
hips in walking. If you must bow to
fashion, do so with every Drecaution
for health and comfort. l do not ad-
yOcate high heels; yet there are ex-
exercises to strengthen the ankles aud
the muscles of the feet and legs.
thereby alleyiating the general injury
of high heels. The first requisite is a
shoe Of such shape that you may walk
or stand on the balls of your feet. with
out pressure on the heels; for to walk
gracefully on high heels. you must be
independent of the heel. The exercises
necessary to attain these results are:
In the house practice walking on the
toes, barefoot, dance, jump, run-but
keep the heels high off the floor. Re
lax the muscles frequently, and if too
weak to sustain you any length of
time you will have to practice raising
the heels, with the knees unbent, and
letting them down at two-second inter
walls, until you have strengthened the
muscles on the back and lower part of
the legs and the muscles of the feet.
When able to stand on the ball and
toes of either foot, extend the other
straight out in front of you, to the
side, and behind you, without losing
your balance. You may be sure of
your ability to handle gracefully any
thing in the way of heels. Let the
heels touch the ground in walking, but
do not bear your weight on them. To
get the right poise and sustain it east
ly you should have good control of the
abdominal muscles A simple ex.
ercise for that purpose is to inhale
deeply, then draw the abdomen in
strongly, forcing the chest up and
out. Practice this movement until
you finally are able to sustain the
chest in proper position continuously
and to keep the stomach from protrud-
walking briskly. In practicing the
movement do not retain the breath too
long. If the chest does not come up
easily place the thumbs under the
arms and inhale strongly as you circle
the elbows up, back and down. Elk
hale as you finish, but do not drop
the chest. If the muscles are well
developed, with vitality at it's best,
Fashions DEGREES can have no terrors.

Dear On:-Your letter of the 10th
came in the mail today.
Ard so you want to marry and You
wonder what we'll say
Well, Joe, your mother here and I
read your letter through.
And she seems to think that I'm the
one who'd better lecture you.
For, though in most affairs, of course.
there's nothing quite so nice
As mothers letter, still it takes a
man to give advice.
Your letter says: She's beautiful
and handsome as a queen"
I hope so. Joe. and hope you know
just what those two words
mean.
A beautiful form is one which tells Of
a beautiful soul within;
A handsome face is one which wears
no damning brand of sin:
Beautiful eyes are those that with
the fire of pure thought glow;
Beautiful lips are those which speak
for a truthful heart below;
ashamed the Masters work to
do
Hands that are patient and brave and
kind, gentle and strong and
true;
Beautiful feet are those which go in
answer to duty's call:
And beautiful shoulders are those
which bear their daily burdens
all.
Remember this maxim true, my boy.
wherever you choose a wife:
The handsomest woman of earth is
she who leads the handsomest

Pray tell, should Newark
Then be pronounced Newarkensaw
Or simply Newarkansas?
