There are a good many conglomerations
Of music and nonsense touring the popular
price circuits under the general caption of
farce-comedy, and "Pickings from Puck"
which opened at the Park yesterday for
half-weeks engagement, is another one of
these hodge-podges made up of songs.
dances and ridiculous dialogue. 1t is only
the presence in the cast of such capable
entertainers as Willard Simms, Catherine
Linyard, Bessie and Fred Lucier and Gus
Pixley that saves the piece from disaster,
for IL is a very poorly arranged affair with
little to commend it outside the individual
efforts or the various clever people with
the company. AS IL is. the leading fun
makers are obliged TO work pretty hard to
keep the entertainment from dragging.
There is absolutely no plot or reason to the
piece-not even connecting links between
the string of farcical incidents that are in
troduced, and unless the managers of the
production take the trouble to have the
entire three acts rewritten il will never
meet with success, even in the cheaper
theaters. where the audiences demand some
sort of a story in a play. no matter how
illogical the story may be.
Willard Simms Is clever comedian, and
he has a good assistant in Miss Linyard.
Their songs and dances together and
their burlesque opera are given In a
style that is at once humorous and
dainty. Their work in fact, is a lit
tie bit too high-class for the kind Of
audiences they are now playing to. for their
a grand opera troupe, each of whom is
jealous of the other for trying to stand in
the center of the stage, seems to go over
the heads of the spectators at the Park,
who became much more enthusiastic over
the more familiar specialties in the show.
One of the hits of the entertainment is
made by Fred Lucier with his trick violin
playing, while Bessie Lucier and Gus Pix
ley come in for their share of applause
with some well rendered songs and dances.
Gus Pixley, who has always been a great
favorite at the Park, has scarcely anything
to do in his present part and his numerous
friends at yesterdays performances were
disappointed to find that he was given so
little opportunity to display his ability.
All OF the spectacular musical numbers
are given with vim and dash by a chorus
of good-looking girls who have fresh voices
and pretty costumes. There is certainly
material in the organization for rafting
Torrance is only bright in spots. About
the only amusing feature in ii, aside from
the specialties, is the attempt of Willard
Simms. in the character of college boy,
to paper the walls of his fiat. He places the
wall paper on the top of the piano I'm order
to spread the paste over 1t, and his antics
with the bucket of paste, into which he
steps, and the sticky wall paper, which he
pastes over everything but the wall, keep
the audience convulsed with laughter for
ten minutes or more. "Pickings from
Puck'-it might be called by any other
name just as well-will continue at the
Park to-day and tomorrow, and will then
be succeeded by the Black Patti Trouba-
dours, who come for only two perform

No woman is competent to become a
good, economical wife until she has been a
wage Garner, is the conclusion reached by a
Chicago Sorosis Said one of the speakers:
"Her business training will teach her the
value of money, will educate her in true
economy, will teach her to measure her
domestic service in dollars and cents and
she will no longer feel that she is depend
emit. She will cease bothering about the lit
tie things, she'll not nag and harp on
things. She won't eternally blame her hus-
band for the extravaganza of paying $40
for a set of books. She'll forget the Incl
dent. The woman who has never earned
her own livelihood but who has been given
an allowance all her life, cannot appreciate
the value OF money. 1t comes to her easily,
and She parts with IL Just as easily.''

Whatever else the up-to-date girl may be,
she must be 'droopy." To begin with, her
hat. although standing out bravely in front.
hangs Imply over her hair in the back and
trails off finally into fall of ribbon or lace.
Then her hair. caught loosely and care
lessly In the nape of her neck, has a just
oing-to-tumble-down appearance, and the
long lines of her trailing gown and flowing
sleeves add to the general dropping effect.
The details of her costume are also calcu-
lated to carry out this idea, for at the neck
the strictly modern girl, when dressed for
an afternoon call or the matinee, wears a
little jewel or locket pendant on a gold
chain. This is suspended from the top OF
the collar; then comes the top collar, with
its realistic bunch of embroidered cherries
and then the stock proper, which is IRE
quently of elaborate design and is cut with
long stole ends. The belt with tassels,
loops of ribbon, or silk ornaments COM
pletes the costume. This generally defect
ed, languishing air of her clothes doesn't
affect her in the least, for she remains as
sprightly as a cricket.
