seen big organization OF colored enter

novelty that the Shaftesbury will be packed

THE THEATERS.
Golden Company I'm "The Two Or
phans."

The difference between "a Barrel of
Money" which the Holden Stock Company
played at the Park the first half OF the
week, and "The Two Orphans" which that
organization is now presenting, Is the diff
ference between very poor play and a
very good one. If the writer's of modern
melodramas were to sit through a few per-
formances OF THE Two Orphans and
earnestly study the features that have
made 1t such a success for thirty years
there might be more good plays on the pop
ular price circuits nowadays. This old
melodrama of the French dramatist Den
merry, has such a substantial groundwork
and is so skillfully built that theater-goers
never tire OF witnessing its presentation.
1t is the best play far given by the
Holden company and this Woodworking lit
tie combination enacts IL in acceptable
style, although the players find it neces-
sary to do considerable doubling up In
order TO meet all of the requirements of
the manuscript. Miss Bernice Howard not
only portrays the part of the blind heroine,
Louise. quite effectively. but acts another
ratt in the garden party scene. Norman
Gilbert not only plays the role Of the Mar
qGs De Presles, who, fortunately for the
company, gets killed I'm a duel in the sec
opd act, but he also fills the role of the
bragsIng outlaw. Jacques. and Fritz Il.
fortunate cripple. Pierre Frochard. but also
turns up in the character of the secretary
OF the Paris minister of police All of the
members OF the company do their very
best 10 give the drama good interpreta-
ton and in measure they succeed in
their lauda0le undertaking. John A. Pres
tons Chevalier De Vaudrey Is In many re-
spects quite the best piece of work he has
done since the opening of the Holden COM
pany's engagement at the Park. Lulu May
Touhy is adequate in the character of Hen
rittte. and Theresa Miller makes a fairly
good Mother Frochard. The smaller roles
are filed by Robert Foster, Harry III. Hold
en- Maud Holden and Anna Il. Coggswell.
Two good-sized audiences gathered at
the Park yesterday afternoon aud last night
and thoroughly enjoyed the old drama. Be
tween the acts singing speciaities were CIV

Following Fashion.

1t does not pay to find fault with the fash
ions and refuse TO follow them, at least
within speaking distance. At middle age
there is a temptation to get into a fixed
style in dress and disregard the little mat
tiers which make style. An acquaintance
of mine had formed the habit of wearing
close-ftting waists. or what is commonly
called a basque" Recently / saw her
transformed by the substitution of a shirt
waist, drawn down at the front belt and
shortened at the back; the round-shouldered
appearance given by her waists, finished

parently several years of age.
Not long ago / was guest at social
function where the hostess, a writer of
considerable reputation, was an illustration
of perfect taste in dress. Her iron-gray
hair was becomingly dressed; her black silk
gown had a slight train and the waist and
sleeves were plain and close fitting. The
severity which would not be becoming to
her slight, nervous figure, was softened by
a ruffled fichu of soft white lace spread out
on her shoulders. and which, without quite
meeting in front, fell in two ruffied ends
nearly to her knees. 1t was picture dress;
il would never go out of fashion.

What Women Can Do.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The women of Petaluma, Cal, have been
the means Of Transforming that town from
one of the most unattractive places in the
State to one of the most beautiful, and
their work has attracted widespread atten-
ton, many other cities wanting to know
how 1t was done. Petaluma had reserved
two pieces of property for parks. but had
never succeeded in making any use Of them.
The city trustees planted few trees and
passed a good many resolutions. and, pend
ing further action, the parks became the
dumping ground for tin cans and rubbish
of all descriptions At last the women took
the matter up, and, having raised some
money by entertainments and subscriptions,
they hired men to cart away the rubbish,
grub up the stumps and prepare the ground
fer bluegrass and clover. The weeds ran
the grass and clover out of existence. but
the women sowed the seed second time.
Public interest was aroused, contributions
poured in, and the parks became paradises
of beauty with greens, fountains, flowers
and rare shrubs. The women then turned
their attention TO other parts of the town.
and are now busy supplying information.
not only to other towns In California, but
to cities all over the United States.
