THE YOUNG WIFE"

The great" scene in "The Young Wife" with the performances of which the Poli players have packed the theater to the doors this week oc- CUTS in the second act and is laid in an underground dive in the toughest section of New York's east side. Here in setting that reeks of drunkenness, poverty and vice unspeakable, are col lected the wretches who plot against the happiness of Ethel Douglass, whose father-ln-law has been mur- dered by a disowned son, and who have plotted to entice her to the hell hole for the purpose of Kidnapping her. Here comes Horace Greengase Dobbins, of Shelltown, Vt, in search of excitement which he gets undiluted in a game of three-card monte. The process of trimming the rube' is ac- complished with much comedy and the final picking of his pocket causes a quarrel in the course of which Hor- ace gets knocked in the head after the most approved Cherry Hill fash ion. He is thrown into an alley to re- vive and Ethel. lured from her home under pretense that the woman she supposes to be her mother is dying, falls Into the trap set for her by her brother-in-law and his villainous ac- complices. At the proper moment Horace recovers. assumes wish to become bold. bad man like the com pany assembled. and by the judicious use of bottle of put 'em-to-the- clear drops succeeds, while Ethel sings an uproarious ballad with cho- rus attachment. in drugging the would-be kidnappers and escapes with the stricken wife.

might be adopted in the army. These stoves are in use in German households, and are guaranteed to save worry, work and fuel, and never to scorch the food. They never blacken the pots and do away with all objectionable odors.
 According to Mir. Murphys de scription these stoves or "hay boxes" are merely air-tight chests lined with felt or paper and packed with hay or straw. The close fitting lid is GOV cred with cushion of some sort to exclude the air. An old trunk or even large valise may be pressed into service for hay box" The process of using is even simpler than that of construction. The vegetables or meats are started cooking in the ordinary way over fire, and then transferred in the pot to the box, care being taken that the lid of the cook ing utensil is not removed while the change is made.
 "In general says Mir Murphy, it will be found that two or three min utes of actual boiling on the fire is amply sufficient for vegetables. while roasted meat requires 20 to 30 min- utes. Most articles should remain tightly closed in the box for two or three hours, although they can be left there to keep hot for ten or l2 hours. if necessary. Rice, dried beans, len tils. dried fruit etc, should first be we'll soaked in cold water. After be- ing allowed to boil for some two to five minutes, one or two hours in the box will prepare them thoroughly for the table. Caulifiower and other soft vegetables should merely be brought to a boil and then placed for an hour or two in the box. Compared to the old way of cooking the saving of fuel by the use of the hay box is very apparent. It cooks while you sleep.

Suitable for Wear on a Voyage

Late in the summer one can pick up the best bargains of the year. things of real value at small cost The dealers do not want to carry anything over and offer their goods al low price. Ready made things. thin stuffs. remnants of lace and silk. are all put out and marked "Cut Down." now Is the harvest of the bargain hunter. now the woman too busy and too sensible to spend time in bargain hunts has them presented her without personal inconvenience
 The other day friend of mine bought q very pretty white dressing-sack for half a dollar. and a lot of pretty wash-goods at ten cents yard. Nesli- gees. both wrappers and short sacks. are lying in pillows on the bargain ta- bles. and this Is the time to make ready for next season as well as provide for the certain hot days we are yet 10 ex- perience The little bits of trimming and the remnants of pretty fine stuffs can ts quickly turned by deft fingers into iounging costumes. if one wants something finer than the cheap ready to-wear sort.
 The one here pictured is the merest eennblance of a garment. and just the thinf to throw on when in hslf-dress. It hanes straight from the shoulders. as SO many of the matinses toto-day. Made of silk or muslin lowered in dainty Dresden pattern. and trimmed lightly with lace and lowered ribbon. it is a charming little creation
 Mahr prefer less open style. want the sack longer and fitting in at the waist. For them ve would suggest . little affair made of crepe de chine and drswn in with tvo rows of shirring rather wide apart. Much of the style of these neglisees depends on the col lar. which should be very deep if used a- ali The coIlsrIess nesligee finished einrly with friIl is reIl liked. and is So cool Asd simple

While one need not purchase an ex- pensive and shining-new outfit wher making ready for a water trip. yet 1t is we'll to look to it that clothes are be- coming and presentable So many peo- pie nowadays take a vacation voyage, there is so much travel. 1t is sad mis- take to think the steamer a place to wear ones oldest and worst garments.
 The promenade deck is not exactly the place to make display of elaborate toi- lets, but it is sufficiently populous and conspicuous to necessitate one to appear at least passably well, wear clothes well made and in good condition. There is nothing better than trim tailored gown of good wool, the skirt short walking length, the coat whatever style is best fitted to the wearer. Some consider the long cape an indispensable adjunct of the costume for aboard-ship but to us it does not seem an absolute necessity. A loose-ntting. snug coat is warmer ana does not blow about so. and generally the promenade deck is very breezy pidCc.

Head-gear that will admit of the use of a veil is wisest choice. and there is a pleasing variety offered at the shops. The automobile cap has the protecting visor. the tricorne sets down prettily on soft hair. there are cool caps of silk and linen for those torrid noon hours that one does not wish to spend in stuify cabin.
 A really indispensable article of dress is some sort of wool scarf to put on the head when cold winds blow; 1t acts as protection and keeps the hair in some kind of order. And remember one should take a goodly number of veils. to suit the varying weather. On calm days close hat with neat face-veil will be sufIicient. and perhaps for the sake of picturesquness one might sport bill lowing chiffon affair.

 distribution throughout the country. Mir. Chester K. Greene. superintendent of the ponds. is doing his best to check this race suicide among the bass. Tn talking about the cannibalistic tenden- cies of the young fish the other day. he said:
 We have to be careful in asserting the bass. In this tank or pool. for instance. we have about 5000 of the smaller size. which average an inch and three-quar- ters in length. The reason we have to be particular is because the little fellows have a practice of devu1ring each other. The young bass are great cannibals. Look at that now" exclaimed Mir. Greene. pointing al a mass of fish in the tank. There is a little fellow that has seized another almos, as large as him. self" The little cannibal was not more than two inches in length. and had seized another about an inch and half lors. and was trying 10 make away with him

 Shoes should be substantial and also presentable. for they surely will pre- sent themselves to passing view when ever the wearer steps without the cabin, skirts almost constantly switching in the breeze. Footwear is very conspicu- ous on shipboard, and should be trim and attractive People who look well on a voyage look very well; the dowdy folk look dowdier than ever, with wisps of hair hanging shoes run down. skirts forlorn. a general half-dressed appear ance. Take time to ma Ike your toilet, make frequent excursions to dressing room if you would be satisfaction to yourself and appear pleasing in the eyes of your fellow voyagers.
 Sometimes there are, even on north- ern water trips. hours of hot sunshine that require apparel of summer weight. Pongee is cool, does not muss easily and comes in many colors. A pongee or silk skirt and lingerie waist, and worn with these white canvas shoes. white hat and a veil matching the skirt, would make a costume we'll suited to a warm day An all-white dress would soon lose it's freshness on a steamer and is not to be recommended. And, by the way. pongee underclothes are said to be the very best thing when one goes for a few months of European travel-one can wash them oneself of an evening. and they need no ironing. Pongee is used for everything now, from underclothes to top coat. It is of light weight. sheds the dust easily, washes very we'll when the dyes are good which. unfortunately. they not always are. The natural color is the best for the underwear.

who had Indian blood, as Mir Curtiss, of Kansas. is also of that strain, and Is member of the Kaw tribe. It is said that Senator CIapp, of Minnesota. also has slight admix- ture of the red mans blood, and his ap. pearance indicates it. He has the straight black hair and black eyes of the aborigines. The senator does not men tion this strain, if he has any, but neither does Mir Curtiss, but neither of them is ashamed of the pure American blood.
 Senator Clapp, who has just been re- elected, is developing into one of the strong men in the United States senate. He is an indefatigable worker, and dur ing the recent hearings before the inter- state commerce committed he proved one of the best cross-examiners of wit nesses in favor of further regulation of railway rates The senator used to live in Hudson, Wis, and was next-door neighbor to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor The latter tells some interesting stories about Clapp's early experience as political campaigner. On one occasion the gathering he was to address was packed with the hardest lot of unconvertible democrats there ever was. Clapp got up and began to talk. but was howled down in just half minute. Again and again he was com- pelled to stop, and the crowd would only subside when he told funny story. : Finally an old Irishman, who knew him and knew Clapp.s name was Moses, shouted to him: Don't mind them.
