Repoae of Manner.

The air of distinguished repose so
sought after by our nervous society
woman may be acquired by any one
II she viii remember that the secret
Of reposeful manner simply means
the power TO totally relax. Much Of
your nervous energy is lost in nervous
fighting. One beauty specialist goes
so far as TO declare that nothing will
make wrinkles quicker than the habit
OF moving and jerking and that moth
ing is so fatal to beauty as coughing
and wheeling. All such habits are
really nervous complaints. To cure all
these fidgety movements cultivate the
habit of sitting perfectly stin. keeping
the hands and fingers motionless as

Here In September.

Like many another play which has
since risen to fame, the manuscript
OF "Her Only Sin," the play In which
Miss Julia Gray is now touring this
country, lay idle many years after 1t
was completed, before seeing the foot
lights. After putting the finishing
touches to it, Mr.. Carter was not able
10 find anDactress who quite fulfilled
his ideal Of the principal role, that OF
Della Morely. Finally he gave over
the idea OF producing the play, and
stuck it away in a pigeon-hole to be
forgotten unit! some three years later
when Mr.. Carter, and his general
manager, Mr.. Hogan, were in London
together. They strolled in, OF an
afternoon, to special matinee, given
by one Of London's famous actor
managers, to witness the revival of a
classical play. Toward the close Of
the first act, a tall, slender girl, with
heavy tresses of black hair parted low
upon her brow, and clad in simple
robe OF white sanIite, entered the
scene, spoke few lines, and then
passed out. There was something In
the grace of her carriage, the spark e
of her eye, the liquid cadence of her
tone, that created an impression be-
yond the part she took, and raised her
above her companions In the secon dary
roles. Scarcely had she left the stage
when Mr.. Carter leaned over to his
friend and whispered, "There's my
Della Morely at last" and that is the
reason that q few days later Miss Gray
had signed a contract to appear exclus'
lively under Mr., Carter's management
for term of years, and that is how
the manuscript OF "Her Only Sin,'
was resurrected from its dusty nook
TO create one Of the most talked OF
plays OF the season. 1t will soon bt
presented here with Miss Gray and Q

"Uncle Josh Spruceby."

The attraction at the Loveday Opera
House for next Wednesday will be
"Uncle Josh Spruceby." The cels-
brated New England comedy drama
has become very popular. The scenes
Of the play we're taken from Vermont.
The principal character In the play Is
an old "down East" farmer, and an
opportunity is presented for some very
strong dramatic situations. as well as
pure comedy and wholesome fun. In
these days of "farce comedies" it ID a
relief to witness play OF this kind
A carload OF special scenery is used
and the great Saw Mill scene is pre-
sented. Songs, dances and many
unique specialties abound A big
street parade is given at noon. The
musical features include a big Band
and a splendid orchestra. Regular
prices will prevail. Seats now on sale.

East Jordan VS.. PetOskey.

Our Base Ball Team returned last
Friday from their trip through the
south and just to celebrate their sue
cess proceeded to do all sorts Of un-
pleasant things to Detroit Champions.
The game while void OF any sensation
al plays was simply full OF good snappy
playing from start to finish.
Petoskey started at bat and went
out In 1-2-3 order.
1t was different however with East
Jordan for after two men were retired
Stevens reached first on an error, took
second on passed ball, and trotted
home when Newcomb smashed one
between 1st and End.
Petoskey drew blanks regularly for
four innings only IL men facing Fisher.
While East Jordan added tally no 2
in the fourth on Newcom bs 2 base hit,
two outs and tumble of WOOdmans
hard drive.
In the 5th and 9th however Petoskey
gave the local fans quite scare; secur.
ing one in the fifth on an error, an out
and hit. 1t was the sixth however
that looked SO gloomy. Hall lifted
one for two bases, Washingttn n failed
to connect with Fisher. With one out
Fisher passed Card who Is hard hit
ter, and then it was that all nearly
tainted for Reeves waited until he
got one that suited him and lifted IL
high over the Right field fence for
home run. and the score was 2 to in
favor of Petoskey.
This ended the rungetting for
Petoskey. Our own added tally in
the sixth and in the seventh just to
keep things from looking one sided
she duplicated Petoskey's score In the
sixth. Dunn reached first ON life,
Lalonde was out an easy fly to short.
Oleary put stinger TO right. Dunn
taking 3r /. Fisher was safe on first.
viii lie they were running Dunn down
at home and when Stevens comes up
and sends one over the fence In Right
field for four bases, and the fans
settled back in their seats and plainly
visible on their faces was "The smile
that won't come OFF, for the score was
6 to in favor OF East Jordan. They
added two more In the eighth just for
practice on Spicers hit, which was
followed by Woodmans safety on a
sacrifice and an error.
