Nesc Plays.
"SeygeGnt Byue,' y "The Proud Laird" and "Tbe
 Sqna7v Man"

From Our New York Dramatic Core spondenLI
 Frank Daniels in Sergeant Brue" at the Knickerbocker theater and "The Proud Laird" which Harrison Grey Fiske has put on at the Manhattan, are the two latest dramatic features to attract attention.
 Daniels is very humorous in Ser geant Brue." The play, a recent i'm portation, was big hit in London and has repeated its success here.
 Daniels appears as a London police man, and in his blundering efforts to secure advancement in the service lies the humOr of the play.
 Miss Blanche Ring sang an interpO lated number in her usual pleasing fashion, which was warmly applauded The play was prettlly mounted and the orchestra adequate.
 Daniels made speech after the sec Ond act. It was, as usual, convulsively funny. funnier than anything in the play.
 ''The Proud Laird is by Charles Cartwright and Cosmo Hamilton. The play is not of mOmentous importance. and particular recital of it's story is not needful. It relates to the fortunes of an irnpecunious young Scotch laird and n somewhat unromantic English heiress. The ancestral castle of the laird is badly in need of repairs. an7 his lack of funds with which to unde.'- take its rehabilitation causes much dic- comfort to the various members of hi family. His mother In order 10 repair the fallen fortunes of her son and the falling roof of his castle determines r. bring about his marriage with the hei'- ess. In order to do this she pcrslades each of the young people that the other is the victim Of unrequitcd alta ch:nent. This artifice is successful and ends in q betrothal which is temporarily broken by discovery of the plot to effect it. The hCiress. however. convinccs herself of the "lairds" truth and sincerity by pretending 10 have lost her fortune. and the piece closes with the usual in dication of impending matrimony and consequent bliss.

 Falkenberg, who was tried out by Pittsburg a couple of years ago. states that he invariably uses the pinch ball whenever be gets two strikes on a bats man.
 ''I struck out six men in a recent game" he says, simply by adopting this maneuver."

 This is the momentous question now agitating the St. Louis enthusiasts who saw Sudhoff shut out the Clevelands - recently.
 Despite the handicap of a sore arm, Willie made the Cleveland team of giants dance to his pitching like mario nettes. and no one doubts who saw him shut the Lajoieites out that this new slant is another snare and inven ton of the pitcher to entangle the bat ter
 Sudhoff believes his ball will revolu tionize the theory of curve pitching but, as he naively said after the game in question. ''every pitcher has his ia vorite ball and is apt to have his con fdence in it destroyed at a critica stage of the game"

The Shirt Waist Girls of To-Day

shirt waists: one finds many other blouses quite decollete, especially if the fashionable fichu is used. But it is well with trim shirt waist to wear trim neck dressing, tailored stocks for the tailored waist as a rule. For the lingerie blouse, the best style is stock of self material trimmed to match the waist.
 Yesterday we saw a very fetching shirt-waist suit for a young girl. It was made of black and white shepherds plaid and trimmed sparingly with a frill of black silk alternating with one of bright red. A long rain coat matched the suit: the hat was a beautiful soft gray felt absolutely untrimmed, tricorne in shape. It made very attractive girlish costume.
 There is really nothing gives a wom- an more comfort than the possession of froek strictly utilitarian. one that is of good enough material to stand the toughest wear. one that is of good enough make to appear well under this strain. We saw such a one recently and were almost tempted to instant pur- chase. in spite of the fact that the fash ion folk right and left are insisting this is the day of smooth cloths. of plain colors. The one appealing so strongly was a check of unobtrusiye blue and a warm gray-if there ever is such a thing as a warm tone of gray. There was not a particle of nonsense about skirt and coat: they were unashamedly utilitarian. But there was a cut that spelled style" which is so very. very much.
 Lingerie waists follow lines approved now for bodices. broad shoulders. a moderately high bust, the waist blous- ing very little. The dip in front re- mains. though strenuous efforts are made to do away with it. although there are many assertions to the contrary. There was a day when 1t would have been called ineongruous. the worst of taste. to wear with morning gown a frilly. fuffy. transparent waist: but now we look upon it as very good style; indeed. ve plan the attractive contrast of wool and batiste. A few colored batiste waists are seen. pale blue in the highest of favor. And the fady tones are approved in various eolors when any but the white blouse is chosen.

 when the goats began to chew the clothes I took the dog and went back to the entrance of the park, and dad and the king swan back to where the clothes and the goats were, and when they drove the goats away and couldn't unite the knots, the king gave the grand hailing sign of distress, or some thing, and the guards of the palace and some cavalry came on the run, and the park seemed filled with an army, and bid the dog good-by and went back to the hotel alone, and waited for dad
 Dad didn't get back till after dark, and when he came he had on suit of the kings clothes, too ht around the stomach and too long in the legs, cause dad is pussy, and the king is long geared.
 Did you have good time, dad?" says I, and he said, Haven't you got any respect for age, condemn you The king has ordered that you be fed to the animals in the zoo."
 told him that didn't care what they did with me, I had been brought up to tie knots in clothes when saw people in swimming, and didn't care whether they were crowned heads or just plain dubs, and asked dad how they got along when their clothes were chewed up. He said the soldiers covered them with ponchos and got them to the palace, and they had supper, he and the king, and the servants brought out lot of clothes and he got the best fit he could.
 I asked him if the king was actually mad, and he said no, that he always enjoyed such things, and wanted dad and to come the next day and go fish, ing with him, barefooted Say, dad can go, but wouldn't be caught by that king, on bet.

By the sleeve you can gauge the fash ion of ones dress pretty correctly, though the skillful woman is able to re- model last years apparel very success fully by a change in some few details, most important of all the sleeve. A smart, long cuff close-fitting, is the fea- ture of the present fashion, and if the old sleeve is wanting in material the cuff may be made of lace or some contrasting goods; wash-stuffs are best liked, as this is primarily a day of daintiness.
 .. The cape sleeve is not exactly new, but the one shown In the sketch has the virtue of being in good style and of be- ing fashioned of two materials. A neat sleeve is the one giving the outline of the arm, but notice it is by no means what would be called tight-ftting. Per haps the most desirable model pre- scented is the one with the long cuff and double puffs: this one helping to bring out the points now considered to make up the good figure, breadth of shoulder and a tapering waist. The one-puff sleeve is a pattern that is to be very popular, and mayhap the puff shorter than that illustrated will obtain with the most careful dressers, those that study advance styles. The mutton-leg will be in evidence this winter, perhaps a trifie smaller than last year. Care should be taken with this sleeve that the under part does not bag or draw the whole down into shapeless bag, as, un- fortunately, was the case with the nut ton-leg of a season back.
 Coming to sleeves for evening wear, we select the very prettiest and most becoming among the endless variety on display. We are partial to the short sleeve that is really short, stopping above the elbow. To some arms this may be trying-the very angular and the too large-but the addition of band and bow of black velvet ribbon should make it less difficult. There is no better friend than black velvet. anyway, the one sure thing that can be worn, less ening defects rather than accentuating
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-10-09

them. And again we call attention to the touch of black which is to be a fea- ture of the winter styles, either velvet or satin employed to give the bit of con- trast.
 The finish approved for the ordinary sleeve is some simple turned-over cuff of wash stuff, lace or batiste. Frills are not the best style save for dressy af- fairs, when the deep rufies affected the last two years may still be worn. The fashionable bracelet looks well with the neat back-turned cuff. can be seen to more advantage than if yelled in long ruffles. An authority says the Fall woman will wear anywhere from one to half a dozen bracelets, so we may finger a moment to speak of these pop ular ornaments. The old-fashioned are the ones eagerly sought for, and those after old-fashioned models come high est.
 Speaking of color and fall days, we would mention beautiful wrap exhib- ited in an exclusive little shop, a shop that enjoys ''the' very best trade" It was a voluminous long wrap of rich est, deepest wine-red broadcloth. A broad band of velvet of the same shade bordered the bottom and the fronts, giv- ing richness and depth to the satin sheen of the cloth. The only other trimming was heavy loops of cord. If here were not elegant simplicity, sim pie sumptuousness, we have never seen it.
 Another late wrap on display was a separate coat of graceful Empire style It was of tan broadcloth, the collar ol black satin. Worn with dusky black beaver this would be very fashionable costume, avoiding the too-apparent pic. turesqueness of being combined with a large black velvet hat.
 For the wine-red cloak we would sug. gest beaver hat adorned with plumes of the same shade. It seems too rich and wonderful a color to tighten with white CT any contrast Furs might be worn with 1t, but do not add lace.

When the shah of Persia was in Paris last year he was accompanied by an of ficial named Mahmoud Khan, who is not with him now. A French journalist who remembered Mahmoud put some questions about him thesother day to a member of the shah's retinue. What has become of Mahmoud Khan?" in quired the journalist. He is dead, mon sieur," was the answer Poor fellow. But surely he was young and seemed to enjoy excellent health. 'It was ex- cellent," assented the Persian func- tionary. "Was he i'll very long?" No, monsieur, he was not i'll at all. He died quite suddenly" Indeed! How did 1t happen?"

 Brussels, Belgium.-Dear Old Skate: What is the matter with our going to Belgium" said dad to me, as we were escaping from Germany.
 Well, what in thunder do we want to go to Belgium for?" said to dad. tT do not want to go to country that has no visible means of support, except raising Belgian hares, to sell to cranks in America. I couldn't eat rabbits with out thinking I was chewing piece of house cat, and rabbits is the chief food of the people. I have eaten horse and mule in Paris, and wormy figs in Turkey, and embalmed beef fried in candle grease in Russia. and sausage in Ger many, imported. from the Leutgard sausage factory in Chicago, and stuff ill Egypt with ground mummy for curry powder, but draw the line on Belgian hares, and I strike right here, and shall have the International Union of Amal- gamated Tourists declare boycott on Belgium said just like that, bristling up to dad real spunky.
 You are going to Belgium, all right, said dad, as he took hold of my thumb in a jiu jitsu fashion. and twisted it backward until I fairly penuked, and held it, while he said he should never dare go home without visiting King Leopold's kingdom, and having a talk with an SO-year-old male fiirt, who had a thousand chorus girls on his staff and
