Mr.. Thomas T.. Shea was greeted by
two more big and enthusiastic audiences
at the Imperial yesterday afternoon and
evening. At the matinee The Slaves Of
SIM was presented for tho first time
here and proved TO be one OF the most
satisfactory performances OF the week.
The play is dramatization OF Marie
Corellis called Back" and offers a
story of love and intrigue OF intense i'm
terst and much dramatic strength. and IL
is doubtful II Mr. Shea could have Sc
lected from his repertoire a drama that
would appeal more strongly 10 the ladies.
His portrayal Of the Count Romani was
n finished and most effective bit OF work;
and the smoothness OF the whole per-
formance was admirable. Miss Chapin's
work was marked by a vlvacity the more
enjoyable because never overdone. and
Miss Endres, as the erring wife. gave an
excellent impersonation. The mountings
as always with Mr.. Shea. were par
ticularly praiseworthy The play will
be repeated this and tomorrow after
Moons AZ the evening performance
The Hunchback's Daughter" an adap-
tation OF The Fools Revenge" was
given for the first time this week. AS
the Jester. Mr. Shea again demonstrated
DOtn MS NeTSdNlSllN auu the Nlut range
OF his dramatic powers, and his impcr-
sonation richly earned the enthusiastic
plaudits and curtain calls with which it
was rewarded. Its contrasts were finely
drawn and the character was given a
consistent and convincing individuality
that held the closest attention during
every scene OF the play. Again Mr.
shea's support proved its excellence; and
again the care with which the minutest
details of stagecraft were looked after
deserved comrnendation. This evening
pr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" will be re-
peated. and on Saturday evening. The
Bells" will close Mr. Shea's extraordi-
narily successful engagement.

The use of the corset is to transmit
the pressure of the skirt bands to the
hips and the ribs and so to protect
from their pressure the organs in the
region of the waist. The conclusion
is that so long as skirt bands are fas-
tened round the waist corsets should
be worn. They should be sitter than
usually made if they are effectively to
protect the soft middle portion of the
body from the pressure of the waist
band. The front should be quite
straight, and the waist measurement
should be at least as large as the wear
er's waist, measured over single soft
garment. The abuse of the article con-
sists in employing it as a means of

A woman who lives in the suburbs
of Brooklyn usually places large tin
pan on her front doorstep to receive
the ice that the iceman delivers to
her each morning. During hot spell
her little grandson, who is full of mis-
chief, thought that he would play a
joke on his grandmother. The next
morning when the pan was put ON the
step he filled 1t partly with water and
then yelled, 'I-c-eg' 1t was nearly FIVE
minutes before the grandmother start
ed to take the ice into the house. She
was surprised to find that the ice had
melted so quickly. Meantime the ice
man had come and saw no pan for the
ice. He did not leave the usual piece,
and the grandmother was telling her
neighbors Of the unusual heat until the
young hopeful told his big brother

FOR THE CHILDREN
County Fairs ana Roym,

When autumn approaches the Ameri-
can boy looks forward eagerly to hav-
Ing good time at the county fair. He
knows there will be plenty of side
shows there to cater especially for his
amusement. and his only TROUBLE will
be which to choose out of sc6fe OF at
fractions
The English boy has no such luck
The county fair. as we have it. is un-
known in the old country. In each
English county there are number of
annual shows of various kinds-agri-
cultural shows, horticultural shows.
cattle shows and poultry shows-but
there is no great fair for the whole
county.
These shows are run entirely for the
grownups The small boy is not ca
tered for and not wanted. At the most
there is perhaps an itinerant Punch
and Judy for him to look at or CO.
coanut shying pitch. The whole idea of
these shows is not pleasure, but bust
ness, and they are attended mainly by
people interested in the improvement OF
agriculture or the breeding of stock.
The small boy is seldom seen at them.
If be goes he is bored to death
In olden days things were different.
Fairs were great institutions all over
England Every county had at least
two or three year. and they were just
as full of fun as they could be- Cock
fighting. bullfighting, fitting at the
ring, broadsword play and fist fights
were favorite sports, while there were
hundreds of side shows. ranging from
the "Wild Man of Borneo'' to the gypsy
fortune teller. A hundred thousand
people would attend a big fair like
Barnet fair, which was on a much lar
ger scale than any American county
fair.
These gatherings were suppressed be-
cause they led to great deal of drunk
enness and disorder. Nowadays only
two or three of the old fairs are held,
and they are shorn of all their former
fun and frolic. Nothing has taken their
place except the cattle and agricultural
shows. in which no ordinary boy can
be expected to take any interest.

The common custom of using rush
mats under hot dishes as a protection
to the polished wood does not appeal
to housewife as giving an air of
daintiness to prettily set dining la
BILE, and we suggest pretty idea for
table mats. Cut round or oblong
piece of linen the size desired and EN-
broider with sprays of flowers or a
conventional design, then cut two
pieces half as large for the underside.
Place the two straight edges together,
which should be on the selvage at the
middle across the center When placed
in this manner they are the size of the
upper piece, and both should be bastcd
together and scallop worked around
the edge through the top and under
side. Now you have mat with an
opening in the center, into which you
can slip piece of asbestus cut the
shape of the linen. only a trifle small
err. When the mat needs laundering
slip out the asbestus and launder same
as doilies.
