holly and mistletoe These adorn'
Ing shrubs grow In great quantities

and much of 1t Is shipped into this
city. Already the local and whole
sale dealers are receiving box 5

mistletoe that IS so applo
priate and 80 much used In house
and other decorations. Heretofore
when the stage of water In the river
permitted, a great deal of holly
and mistletoe and other natural
decorations were shipped Into The
city In great quantities bV boat
This season, however, the low
stage of water and Ice combined
have formed an iuseperable barrier
to navigation and as conse queuce
all freight has to be shipped by

ceived several days ago, and from
now on the shipments OF the q 'ral

The custom of having the presents
hung on Christmas trees seems to
be going out of style but
the idea of besutifying the rooms
of the house by hanging the green
holly, with its bright red berries
over all available space, seems to
be cusio that has come to stay
The holly never withers, but will
remain green and fresh looking tor
weeks. By this time next week
tine city will be In holiday attire,
and the numerous handsome show
windows and places OF business
throughout the city will present a
very attractive appearance.

REBECCA WARREN
In Tess o. D'UrberviIIes at the
Auditorium Tonight.

"Tess of the D'Urbervilles", 10
which Miss Warren Is staring this
season, has been recognized as one
of the most profound plays contri-
buted to the E lglish speaking stage
In more than decade While II Is
a dramatization of Thomas Hardy's
much read story of the same name
1t shows less evidence of its book
source in the workmanship than
most plays from novels do. AS
prepared for the stage by Lorlmer
Steddard, 1t NAV be judged on It.
own merits, and yet the most ar
dent admirers of The novel have
agreed that the essence as we'll as
the essential incidents and charaC-
ters of the elaborate story have
been preserved In the stage version.
This play has been seen In a
number of cities In both England
ard the United States 1t has az
pealed forcibly to all classe OF play
goers. Its intense human interest
touches those whose theatregoing
pleasure Is a matter of emotion; It's
fine exposition of certain traits Of
rustic life In England has rewarded
the closest observation of those
who take delight 10 the transcrip
ton of types" to the stage; lis
marvellous exhibition Of the inevita-
bic course of one poor life, that OF
this iii fated Tess; has afforded ore
of the most absorbing studies OF
psychology that the modern stage
affords. Neither DR.. Hardy nor his
faithful dramatist intended to make
a story of urrelieved gloom. There
are lighter scenes and incidents, In
which the rustic life of certain sec
tions of England Is portrayed. The
dairy maids, with their ftrtations
propensities, are altogether divert
ing, although there Is note of
pathos In their simple but very
human weaknesses. No one can
see the play without being fasci-
mated by the adroit unfolding of
character ard plot.
Miss Warren has made what
seems to be substantial success In
the character of Tess. This gifted
young actress has had the best OF
schooling for the responsibilities
she has assumed. She was for
number of years with Mr.. L. H
Sothern. for several seasons In the
capacity of leading woman. A very
notable suncess was that she made
as Magda In Hauptmann's THE
Sunden Bell' with Mr.. Southern
Among the other plays In which
she supported this actor are
Change Alley, lord Chumley",
"The Master of Woodbarrow" and
the Adventures of Lady Ursula"
Although she Is still quite young,
she brings to Hardy's complex and
intense character of Tess, fne ex-
perlence, which together with her
exceptional emotional talent, enables
her to realize the character as Its
author did. Manager ". n. Ray
mond, who Is conducting Miss War
ren's tour, has surrounded his star
with a thoroughly competent com
pany and has staged the play with
handsome settings and appropriate
furnishings and costumes, which
were used during Mrs. Flske's run
of 200 nights at the Manhattan aud
Fifth Avenue Theatres, New York.
Miss Warren's engagement at the
Auditor. .um Is for tonight only.

Society

As previously announced the
past week was given over to visit
Ing the shops and making prepare
tions for the approaching Yulettde
season. A few card clubs were
entertained and a few dancing
classes met. but there were no i'm
portent functions to occur. The
present week offers nothing except
a few dances and card club meet
iags. The larger stores will be
kept open during the evenings OF
this week, and all the time and at
tention will be centered In that
direction.
Despite the l'ck of social events
during the past week, the outdoor
girl has been afforded numerous
opportunities to enjoy herself, The
sleighing has been fue and skating
lust north of the city on the river
has been good, and the young lady
who does not enjoy bravlng cod
and strong winds to enjoy these
delightful sp orts, Is not a genuine
Sistersville girl.
In society circles, however, most
all events of Importance are being
held off until the holiday week,
which promises this year to be un-
usually gay Of all the Christmas
week gayeties the most Interesting
will doubtless be the Virginia club
ball. The affair will be given In
the new Armory hall on New Years
eve. The ball this year pro-
mises to be something out of
the ordinary. The committee In
charge of the affair feel that they
have a reputation at stake, and
that 1t Is incumbent to carefully
look after every detail In order
that the event will move along
without a hitch. The new Ar
mory hall Is one o. the most de-
sirable places In the city In which
to hold the dance, and Is In itself
great drawing card The
Auditorium full orchestra, who
have rendered such delightful mu
sic On previous occasions, are to
furnish the dance music. So 1t now
looks as though 1t would be an
auspicious affair.
This popular organization will
give an informal dance on next
Thursday evening In the Armory
building, which promises to be
very enjoyable event.
