GYMNASIUM READY
At THE Y. w. C. A.
Apparatus Has Been Put in Place for
To-night's CIass.

TO-night's Glass.
The management of the Young wo-
mems Christian Association has just
completed the installation of the appa-
ratus in the gymnasium hall. and every
thing is ready for the class tonight.
The management has been untiring
in its efforts to make the rooms and
hall as attractive, commodious and well
appointed as possible, and although
many more improvements will shortly
be added, the advantages now offered
to young ladies are many.
Basket ball teams have been organ
iz>d and two warmly contested games
were played by the teams last week.
regular schedule for the various
teams will soon be compiled, and much
interest promises to center in the lea
que. The gymnasium hall is COM
pletely fitted out and contains many
of the latest strength and health pro-
ducing machines.
The hail now has a Swedish exerciser
which will be used for climbing and
the back-bending exercises, horizontal
bars, punching bag, adjustible ladder
which can be made perpendicular hori-
zontal or oblique, pulley weights mats,
Indian clubs, and dumb-bells. The
hall is seventy-one by thirty-one and
is well lighted by numerous windows
in the walls. At night it is lighted
by electricity.
The gymnasium class has grown so
large that the Monday and Thursday
afternoon classes have to be divided
into two sections. as the hall is not
large enough to accommodate the en-
tire class at one time.
Dressing rooms have recently been
added, with lockers, etc. Shower baths
will soon be put up. The COMMITTEES
hopes that by Jan. 1 it will have every
thing complete and will be enabled
to give the formal opening exercises.

true Judaism. She gave an outline
of the character and scope of the work
accomplished by the various sections
of the Council of Jewish Women, and
spoke most enthusiastically of the en-
couragement met with even in small
towns and most unexpected quarters.

subject she was most eloquent, urging
the young girls present to unite for
the study of Jewish history and a
deeper knowledge of their religion. A
number of the younger people express
ed to Miss Goldberg, at the close of
her address, their desire to see the
Junior section reorganized here. To ac-

The Smart Set" an aggregation of
fifty colored musicians and dancers,
will be seen to-day matinee and night.
The Smart Set" Is fashioned after
the conventional theatrical organiza-
tion known as the spectacular extra
Vaganza. The locale of the extrava-
ganza is Honolulu and vicinity and the
opportunity for elaborate scenic ac-
cessories of q tropical nature have
not been overlooked. The piece is in
three acts. and shows in succession
a garden in Honolulu, the beautiful
parlors Of the Rio Hotel and a tropi-
cal forest scene, where a duel is ar
ranged and consummated. The en-
tertainment is dependent in a large
measure upon the singing and dancing.
and in these features 1t is said to be
particularly strong. From the rise to
the fall of the curtain there is a sue
cession Of popular melodies, interspers-
ed with gems from the grand operas.

The gowns worm by Miss Henrietta
Lee in The Beauty Doctor" the new
musical farcical comedy which Fred T..
Wright will bring here tomorrow
night, will be a revelation to the the
atergoers of the fair sex. Mere man
cannot. of course, grasp the dainti-
ness of detail of the costuming of the
star feminine, but such is the progress
in modern costuming for the stage
over that of a decade ago that the
woman auditor demands and gets upon
the stage, costumes that put to blush
many of the ball room dresses of the
elect in the social world.
The tawdry garishness of years ago
has all departed and the modern COM
edy or society play is dressed as
smartly, both by men and woman of
the stage, as il the scenes were laid
in real life. A thousand dollars for a
prominent actress to put upon her
back for one act alone of a modern
drama or comedy is thought little of
in the profession and when the woman
of the outer circle marvels at the SAL
aries of some of the prominent come
diennes, she fails to reckon of the ex-
pensive gownings and the hundred lit
tie things that appeal to her usually,
all of which means extensive expen-
diture.
Miss Lee in the two acts of THE
Beauty Doctor" has two marvellous
creations" of the modiste art, made
by Nine Freisinger from special and
exclusive Paris designs. The second
act gown is a symphony in tones and
tints running from a darker color at
the bottom of the skirt to a lighter
as the shading progresses, this shad-
ing being not only carried through
on the material alone, but in the trim
mings as well. The chffons are tint
ed to match and even the paillettes or
colored spangles, of which there are
$4,000 and with which the gorgeous
ornamentation of this gown is carried
out, are shaded in brilliantly harmon
ious tints. The skirt, somewhat amp
Ter than the type Of last season. still
hugs the figure closely and brings out
to advantage the statuesque shape
liness of Miss Lee. Seats are now on
sale. Orchestra $3.50 and s1.00; ball

GROWING WHEAT
Was Snug as a Bug Un-
der the Snow.

Farmers are rejoicing over the pro-
lection given the wheat during the
winter by the snow. During the re-
cent thaw the wheat was discovered
to be as green as 1t was when the first
snow fell early in the winter. The
white blanket gave 1t perfect protec-
tion and all indications point to large
crop the coming season.
The reports of the horticulturists
ere to the effect that peaches have not
been killed by the winter except in
the very low sections, and IL the
peaches are safe other fruits also are.
The old fashioned winter may bring an
old fashioned fruit crop, when the
peach trees break under the weight Of
the fruit and apples go begging by
reason of their plentifulness.
no one can account for the changed
conditions IL the matter Of apple and
peach yields. Twenty years ago there
were peaches and apples in abundance.
There are more trees now than then,
yet it is not more than one year in
| five that there is a full crop.
Since the country has had to endure
the unpleasant part of the oldfashioned
winter, the pleasant experience OF
feasting upon an unlimited supply OF
| fruit would be nice sequel.

At the end of last year 1000 persons

nearly one-half Of whom were wo-

ported officially last year, the missing
people were found to be living their
own lives, their disappearance being
brought ts,out merely by a desire to
get away from old friends and old
