A rehearsal is a most business-like
proceeding. There is no system of
fines. Few regulations exist. Every
actor knows that lack of attention,
hardness, or frequent absence means
a curt dismissal. There is no court of
inquiry, and no apologies are accept

been thoroughly drilled by it's director.
For instance, the chorus of a certain
rag-time speciality was rehearsed sep
arately for six weeks before the prin-
cipals Joined in the work. When at
last each section is ready for a full
rehearsal they fit together like clock
work. and each group or chorus is so
perfectly trained that it is not con-
fused by those who come before or
after.
The dress rehearsal is the occasion
which tries the soul of every partici-
pant, from managers to humblest stage
hand. The preceding rehearsals may
have been almost perfect, but small de-
fects will crop out at the dress re-
hearsal until every man, woman and
child is fairly on edge with nervous
ness. This rehearsal frequently lasts
until the early morning hours, when
the company is dismissed to sleep dur
ing the day, reporting in time to dress
for the opening performance at night.
AS for the managers, the stage di-
rectors and the ballet master, there is
neither rest nor sleep for them until
the verdict of the public is heard. An
investment of 100000 is practically at
the mercy of the few hundred who
gather to see the curtain roll up the
first time on the imported spectacle.

In the meantime, the new scenes de-

opportunity, night or day, to install
the new scenery so far as it will not
interfere with the staging of the at

The costumes have been sent over

A LUCKY SLIDE
BY ORA CUSHING NELSON.

A pretty rosy-cheeked girl, with
round bare arms, was seated on the
top step of the farm house piazza,
busily Smelling beans, exchanging SEN
fences occasionally with a stalwart
young fellow who was ostensibly
shingling the barn near by.
The air was heavy with perfume of
wisteria and cinnamon roses, while
from the hedge came the soft notes OF
a wood thrush. A pair of tiny hum
ming birds shiInmering in the sunlight
darted to and fro, plunging their long
bills into the blossoms of the vine that
covered the porch. while over all how
cred the sweet silence of a summer
afternoon.
The young man had given up all
pretense of work and lay stretched out
in the sun on the sloping roof with
hands closed behind his head, at peace
with the world and himself.
Il say, Nan, l wish l owned this
farm; it's a jolly old place"
We'll, it will all be yours some day,
Tom, and then 1 suppose you will send
your poor Cousin by marriage flying
said Nan, with a mirthful twinkle in
her eyes.
Il would shake you for that speech,
my girl, if it wasn't too much trouble"
said Tom loftily.
Just then there was a sound of
splintering wood; six feet of Drawn
and muscle shot rapidly downward,
and with ''plunk" disappeared into
the water-butt.
Nan gave a shrek of laughter and
ran to help the immersed Adonis, but
there was no answering laugh; instead,
a quiet that frightened her.
Tom was not a practical joker. still
1t did not seem possible that he could
be seriously injured. What should
she do? The men were all down in
the bayfield,, and Tom might drown
while she went for help.
Her eye lighted on the chopping
block. II was a huge affair, but she
managed TO drag II to the side of the
butt, and climbing UP, discovered poor

FASHIONS !
Another white season, whittier than
ever, is one of the few certainties in
fashions for the coming season. The
shirt waist suit will remain-there is
nothing SO useful and comfortable.
All linens are sure to be modish, and
those that are embroidered will be
in favor. Linen and cotton canvases
in plain colors are often delicately
dotted or in mixed weaves, where
threads in white, black or colors give
the effect of wooden fabrics. For
thin dresses there are the imported
embroidered Swisses and the filmy
mixtures of silk and cotton-lovely
organizes, mulls and mattresses are
other standbys with new faces. There
will be a great variety of pongee-
like fabrics-all especially attractive.
The touch of black which gave
character to winter fashions is one
of the conspicuous features in silk,
linen and cotton fabrics, and their
making up will have a still more
prominent part. Advance styles can
now be seen at Foye & Eckstein's.
