Bernhard in her new play looks as
tonishingly young in long, ulinging,

of black frock. This long collar,
which reaches from the throat some
distance on the shoulders, is made of
embroidered lawn inserted with motifs
of guipure lace. From the throat in
front hangs long scarf of black nous

ends falling almost to the bottom of

the white collar and harmonizes with

1t will doubtless surprise most persons
to know that the Pennsylvania avenue
approach is really the back of the
house. When the mansion was built
it was customary to face the great Vir-

the capital should have built the presi-

A Handsome Christmas centerpiece.

A centerpiece which is particularly
acceptable as Christmas gift is of
brown linen worked in white. 1t is
novel in coloring, and only small
amount of labor is necessary in the
making. A large circle is cut from
brown linen of fine weave. the edges
of which are scalloped and finished with
lace braid. This braid is carried in a
scroll design toward the center of the
linen circle. Each scallop ends with a
wheel of toaro lace. These wheels may
be bought ready made. The heart of
the centerpiece is merely outlined with
circle of lace wheels. From these.
spreading out to the edge of the center
piece, are delicate sprays Of leaves en-
broidered in mercerized cotton
The brown centerpiece is very effec-
tive for use on a dining table between
meals and is equally appropriate as a
center covering for library table.

Under the Utah statutes, which were

A fire in the power house of the Nj

pany last night, destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of valuable machin-
cry, and doubtless will mean great
loss to most of the big factories here,
some of which must remain idle for
weeks. Officers in the company were
not prepared to give an estimate of
the damage, but they admitted the
situation to be serious. and would
badly cripple the many plants, not
only in this city but in Buffalo, Lock
port and Tonowanda. The fire is
said to have been caused by lightning
which prevailed throughout this Sec
tion during the night.

But even the critic in the calmest

avoid the employmet of adiectives,
says an exchange. There can be
nothing said but in praise of Chan
ming Ellery's Band, which brilliant
audience last night at the Winnipeg
theatre, to adopt a trite expression,
cheered to the echo. 1t is beyond
criticism. In America, at least, there
is no concert band which at all com
pares with it. Duss, Sousa, Innes,
and the rest of them may have all
the booming as well as the backing of
millions, but these artistic Italians
will invariably gain the verdict Of
any musically-intelligenr man, who
having heard all Of them is able to
make comparisons. Such broad state
ments may be "sloping over" against
which my confeFe h4s warned me,

what might be expected in case Great
Britain and her two allies insisted

it informed the foreign office that
Minister Bowen. in the event OF a re-

When this step is taken it is expected
