Solid Silver for
October Weddings.

Silverware is and has been for
years the most practical and useful
OF wedding presents. But in pur-
chasing present of this kind Ster-
ling (or Solid) Silver only should
be bought. Plated ware is good
enough for personal or family use,
but in giving present you want
something that will show quality,
and be not only handsome and or
namental, but serviceable. Sterling
Silver will last practically a life
time, and will always be pleasant
reminder Of the giver.
Our showing for this fall and
winter is unsurpassed, and is repre-
scented by the best American manu-
facturers. Styles and decorations
are daintier and prettier than ever,
but are mostly in fruit and floral de-
signs-bright and Butler finish
and not quite SO highly priced.

lists appearance is always tho event Of

role of tho German student and prince
has Is fundamental interest In Il tragic
fact near to all who have passed the Pc
riod Of youth, but Is III treatment and eX-
position lifted entirely onto the plane Of
sympathetic comedy. The version Of "Old
Heidelberg" used by Mr., Mansfield Is a
literal translation Of Herr Meyer-For
tcr's phenomennlly successful original. It
is the same III all respects as has been
running at tho Berliner Theatre, Berlin,
for two years; as has been seen for tri-
umphant engagements in Dresden 81.

ploycd during tho run Of cold Heidelberg"
at tho st. James Theatre. London, from
January to last August. Mr.. Mansfield
has preserved the text intact. but lie has
used free hand in embrolderng the
production. The scenery Is on an extern
sive scale throughout tho five acts. The
story moves back and forth between the
palace at Harrisburg and tho haunts OF
the swagger students corps at the old
university town of Heidelberg. The lat
ter scenes have been taken by Mr. Mans
field as an opportunity to INTRODUCE n
large body OF students, who give verb
