Cleaning Club.

Countless good dressers who realize the importance of having their clothes attended to regularly are halting tn despair between high transient rates and the inferior service of cheap press ing clubs.
 In response to numerous appeals from these men, we organized Clean ing Club to keep all ones clothes cleaned. pressed and repaired for $2.0o q month. We send for them whenever requcsted; do everything necessary to put them into first-class condition inspect every garment carefully when finished, and deliver them hung In our wagon without folding or crumpling' so they reach home in as good order as they leave us.
 We give receipt for everything received and require receipt for everything delivered, and have never lost q garment!
 We employ the same high class of la abor and materials on this, as on our regular run of work, and nothing Is ever touched by an inexperienced hand The conditions upon which we offer this splendid service so cheap, are set forth in our Cleaning Club contract which we will be glad to send to any of our customers who desire to see it.

It's pretty hard thing for a ~sr1 sn
 have to refuse to be bridesmaid for har dearest friend, but many a girl has hag4 to, and then, for the life of her nos been able to avoid a pretty sorry feel- ing of discontent.
 But one might go on indefinitely quoting the prettfest little acts at con- sioeration. There was the girl who planned just simple summer dresses for her bridesmaids; and the other who asked her nearest and dearest friends f r, sit in the front pews of the church. 50 as to be near her. and, to give them a pretty little distinction, asked them all 10 wear their white dresses. She her. seI sent them the flowers they wore--- the richest, most velvety of roses
 AS to the wedding itself there's room for deal of consideration to be shown there. It isn't every family to whom Dig affair doesn't come us a sewers tax. And, for that matter, any sort of elaborate display of decoration seems a little out of keeping with the sof- emnity which belongs by rights to the ceremony
 The simplest sort of a church we'd. ding was given by a girl who felt Gas so many girls feeD that her wedding wouldn't be quite real unless she had h in church. Only the altar was dec orated, and that simply but prettiiy. with white flowers and foliage and plants. There were no invitations is- sued at all. but all of her friends were told about it, and whoever wanted to come came. There was none of the usual crowd curious to see the dresses: only the people she wanted about her and who really wanted the pleasure of being present on her one great deal. From the standpoint of sentiment # was an ideal wedding.
 Another bride held no reception--shs was like the other girl and held that receptions meant presents--but word was passed along somehow, and every body drifted home with her from church. Her presents had been put out. so that survey was made, everybody had chance to wish her joy, and in the dining room was a great wedding cake with its three mystic tokens hid- den away somewhere in its interior. and ices.
 It Is hard to plan things on a mod est scale for the one important occa- sion of your life, but so much less strain attends that sort of thing and there's so much more time in those last few days in which to get close to your family that 1t pays. And the bride who has the courage to be con- siderate at the expense of a little Of her own pleasure has quality about her that Is like talisman to Insure future happiness.

simplicity of Recent Weddings.

A sort of reaction. says The Chicago Record Herald is taking place against the elaborate weddings so long in vogue, with the result that several brides have had the simplest sorts or ceremonies, carrying out the idea of simplicity in decoration. and even in the wedding dress itself. When pres ent-gIving is carried to the extent that 1t was with one bride. who returned just her duplicates to one well-known firm of silversmiths and had credit there of something over thousand dollars, 1t becomes something most un- pleasantly overdone.
 The exchanging of presents. too. by brides for presents to send to other brides, has been carried on in the same way as the exchange of euchre prizes, which became so annoying that several stores were forced to refuse such ex- changes. For not only was the original purchase returned, and something else taken out, but that second purchase probably returned. and it's equivalent brought back until there was no end to it.
 It seems dreadful that anything so closely connected with sentiment as wedding gift should be put to so prosaic use. but it is done every day.
 One bride, who declared that an invi- tation to wedding reception was "hold-up" for present. refused to have a reception on that very account con- tenting herself with announcements. and comparatively few of those. good many persons were annoyed at seemingly being overlooked. but the reason leaked out and the tide of feel ing changed
 Another bride refused to have brides maids because she couldn't afford to give them their dresses, and she felt 1t unfair to put them to that expense

"Raffles, The Amateur Cracksman.'' The coming of the handsome and gifted English actor is in itself an event to look forward to, and 1t is made of double importance in consideration of the delightful character of his play and of the remarkable cast with which he is surrounded. The latter includes F. M. Holland. a star himself. and an artist of the highest rank. It Is not often MT Holland consents to support anothei star. He did so in this in- stance because his role In Rallies is less than a duplicate of Captain Rcd wood. the detective, in "Jin the Pen man." probably the greatest part in
 Mir Hollands early career Mr. Bel lew's role, that of the gentleman bur glar-ph h.lanthropist. Is picturesque, in
 tho extreme and calls for all the physi- cal grace and artistic force and subtle
 ty Of which this actor Is well known to be possessed.
 "Raffles' is more than an exciting and intensely dramatic play-it is a fasci- hating study in crlminology and hered- ity. But tho scientific element never predominates: the play is always the thing.
 Associated with Mir Pellew is F. M. Holland, wno plays Captain Bedford. the detecivp Their support includes such women az 5'lIra Blandick, Hattie Russell. L0rena Atwood. Mignon Beran-
 ger and Olive Wyndham. and such clever men as Frank Mccormack. Thomas Thorne, Frank Roberts and Frank Connor.

 tragedy, Don Carlos" .- This artists path to greatness has
 not been one primrose dalliance He has achieved what he has in spite or rather than on account of everything.
 He has hewed his own way regardless,
 but his reward Is a remarkable attain ment and fame. MT. Mansfield's reput- ed disregard of public opinion may be the result of the bitter experiences of his early life. He was born in Heli- joland, the son of Mmc. Mansfieldc Ru- dersdorff, q noted singer, from whom he inherited much of his dramatic ability. It was poverty that eventually turned him to the stage. His youthful ambi- tion was to become a painter and he made a losing struggle in It's pursuit in Boston. Then he went to London, where even greater misfortune awaited him. Many anecdotes are told of his hopeless struggle against diversity. lie
 was compelled to give up art and go into business, but at the end of a year he made another dismal failure and went back to his brush and palette
 But again he made no money and soon became so poor that he could not
 pay for his lodgings. His landlady shut him out, and he often wandered through the streets of London singing ballads. Whenever he earned a few pennies with his songs he invested them In hot potatoes, which he. used first to warm his hands and then to make a meal and warm his stomach. Mansfield hung around the London mar kcts at o'clock in the morning sing ing songs. In those days his chum was Hepworth Dixon, and together they used to go to an old brewery in Cheapside ito breakfast and smells" For a second course they would stand in front of a bakers window and gaze through the panes.
 At last W. S. Gilbert, out of pity and charity, gave Mansfield the role of Sir Joseph Porter in ''Pinafore" company that was touring in the English pro- vinces. Since that time his entire at tention has been devoted to the stage. Whatever MT. Mansfield undertakes is sure to be vital and vigorous. He is a man of intense physical and nervous energy. and these purely temperamental qualities are stamped upon every character he creates. They vlbrate in his voice: they are apparent in his manner; they are written upon his fea- lures.
 He is able to transmit across the footiiEhts the electrical energy of his own personality. Dislike as you may his purely personal characteristics, deplore as you please his singular man nerisms and his iconoclastic instincts, you are compelled to admit the mans genius when he wears the mask. His acting is a combination of the cerebral, the energetic and the imaginative that is not shared by any of his contempo@ raries. It is more than probable that because of too intimate acquaintance he is still denied full credit for his ar tistic powers.

The Famou. Dancers of the Times.

Tho Italian and French ballet danc- CTS surpass those of any other coun- try. The stage dancers Of England. Ireland and Scotland present the Irish reels, jigs, Lancashire clog and High land fling of Bonnie Scotland. Tn step and nerve dancing America has stt the pace of the world. The minstrel stage of this country has produced the dam cers who have made popular the fancy dances which can be seen in any vau- deville house or any stage performance wherein dances are presented. A few years ago dancers in the amusement profession were confined to the mins- trel stage. The style of the perform ance proved most attractive. the sala- ries paid for the services of the dan cers in many instances being above that of others of the profession. Danc- ing has been made the leading feature of many high priced entertainments.
 Of the eccentric dancers the minstrel stage has produced, Jimmie Kennedy towers head and shoulders above them all. He has originated a style of danc- ing entirely his own. No one has cop jed him successfully. A few feeble i'm itators have failed in their attempts to introduce his acts. Jimmie Kennedy. "he with the wooden shoe" has a field to himself

Mis. Paire in "At Cozx Corncrr.,

No better play than At Cozy Cor ners" could have been selected for Ma bel Paises starring tour as this dainty comedy dra ma sgives this charming lit i tie actress fulf scope to show her clever | talents. .#:- .-- The first act shows the lawn festival at the little village church and gives Miss Paige full vent of that dainty com edy for which she Is noted especially in the "see-saw scene with the young parson where she precipitates him to the ground by getting of the plank when he is high in the air is described as delicious piece of acting
 Tn the second act we see the Ministers home wits it's rag carpet, the bric-a- brac, the old fashioned mottos that adorn the walls. and the, much talked of hired girl'' whom we have all met in real life; domineering but good at heart. and her appearance is always the occasion of a good hearty laugh. The third act Is the Sunday School room of the Little Church, where the young Minister and his pretty girl wife have their quarrel, and he imaglnes she has deceived him and that she is going back to her old life as a concert Vlolinist, and in his anger wrests her beloved in strument from her and shatters 1t up- on the altar, making one of the most novel and dramatic scenes ever written.
 The last act returns to the Ministers cottage and here again is the good wholesome laughter that comes only when thought out by a master mind and acted by a thoroughly competent company. The wife. who has been sub jacent to the tyrant will of the hired girl. takes matters In hand and in her turn becomes the directing authority of the home. much to the surprise and humiliation of the girl, who finds that henceforth her little mistress intends to run her own affairs.
 Like all good plays At Cozy Cor ners" ending is harmonious and the Minister takes his wife to his heart be- fore the bright glow of the grate fire, and the curtain drops on one of the most delightful of comedy dramas. daintly acted by Miss Paige and her ad- ID ira hln snnnort
