THIS AMERICAN GIRLS HANDS
MOST PERFECT IN THE WORLD

fifth street, Denver. Col. M. Bradelle
is to carve the figure in pure white
marble and the dainty piece of sculp-
ture will grace his artist studio az one
of his priceless treasures.
While M. Bradelle was in Denver he
attended social function, and during
the evening danced with Miss Rosen-
thai. She noticed that her partner was
intensely interested in her hand. After
the dance he complimented her on their
shapeliness and said that they were
the most perfect he had ever seen.
Miss Rosenthal paid little attention
to his compliments, but the instincts
of the artist were aroused, and when
he called on her and begged permission
to take plaster cast of one of her
hands, she gracefully consented.
M. Bradelle says that the palm is
just the proper size for a young lady
of Miss Rosenthal's build. The fingers
.are well balanced. not member being
too long or too short. They are clear
cut and tapered with true artistic lines,
There is not particle of superfuous
flesh in evidence anywhere upon the
hand. It is well filled out, 80 that not
a cord can be seen, perfectly rounded
and graceful in every line.

new YORK FASHION LETTER.

NEW YORK, Oct. Objectionable
interest centers largely in new skirts
just now, for the way new autumn
fabrics, are being gobbled up in smart
new models is alarming. 1t is stated
on high authority, to use q political
form Of speech, that 20 cores to the
skirt will not be an unusual allowance
this season, and, if one must judge by
the stiffenings of various sorts that are
shown in the hens Of new skirts, it $
safe to say that the day of crinolines
has returned.
There are two logical arguments
against the very wide skirt, the first
being it's unbecomingness to full fig
ures and the other its unreasonable ex-
pense. Since the fitness is disposed
of about the hips by tucks and plait-
ings of various forms, the first objection
is somewhat outdistanced, but there is
hardly any way of bridging the second,
ana the woman who wishes To be fash
ionable as far as her gowns are con-
cerned must economic in another direc.
ton. -.-....-.
If possible, hips fit more closely than
ever, but from this point all the new
skirts are hung with such amplitude
that stiffening of some kind around
the bottom is necessity. K pretty de-
sign is shown in metal grey homespun
intermixed with black The yoke, an
extremely simple affair. is stitched in

something new in cut; it is cut away

gained by stitching bands of the sub

Nine. Lillian Nordica, the greatest
of American prima dopnas, who is to
appear at the Spokane theater on
Friday evening. was the first Ameri-
can singer to overcome the prejudice
existing at Munich against foreign
singers. In fact, Nine. Nordica has
just returned from across the ocean,
and is coming here direct from the
east. In talking of her Munich ex-
periences to the New York Herald
last week. she said:
Munich is a city which has many
singers. and there has always been a
prejudice there against the foreigner.
That, I must confess. is an attitude
which 1 was never able to under
stand. If French or German actor
comes to New York for instance, to
interpret Shakespeare, we take it as
a compliment that he has essayed an
English role.
I'm Munich, however, there were
many persons who regarded the going
of a foreigner there to sing in Ger
man as an intrusion. and l received
many anonymous letters telling me
to go back to the place from whence
l came.
at had always been one of the
ambitions of my life to sing in Ger
man in Germany. When l visited
Munich three years ago the Prince
Regent theater was not completed,
and Herr Won Possart. the director.

Patrons of the Auditorium are look
ing forward with pleasant anticipation
to the initial appearance here on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday matinee and
night of the farcical comedy sensation,
"a Friend of the Family" The COM
pany, which is an exceptionally large
and clever one, is appearing only in the
large cities, and judging from the press
comments wherever it has appeared, it
is one of the funniest legitimate come
dies that has toured the west in years.
The company. which has been engaged
to interpret the farce, are all well
known artists, and it is claimed they
take advantage of every funny situa
ton. The dialogue is of the bright,
crispy sort, which keeps the audience
in CONFUSION of laughter from the
rise of the first curtain until the fall
of the final one. The leading come
dienne is Miss Alice johnson, hand

You may wonder what there could
be injud Jus to public morality in a
theater made Of stone. Consul p. Cor
nelius Scipio Naseia knew, but history
doesn't tell. The first attempt to build
a stone theater In Rome was made a
short time before he was elevated to
his office. 1t was sanctioned by the
censors and was nearing completion
when Scipio persuaded the senate to
command it to be pulled down, ad-
vancing as his reason solicitude for
public morality.
The Romans did not possess a regu-
lar stone theater until a very late pc
riod, and. although dramatic repre-
sentations We're very popular in early
times, IL appears that wooden stage
was created when necessary and was
afterward pulled down again, and the
plays of Plautus and Terence were
performed on such temporary scaffold-
ings. In the meanwhile many Of the
neighboring towns of Rome had their
