MRS. LEFF1NGWELEs BooTs."

MRS. LEFF1NGWELLS BOOTS"
 Augustus Thomas is said to make his new comedy, Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots' that Charles Frohman presents at the Hyperion theater next Wednesday evening, January "A, for the first time here, revolve about a married woman's s pair of carriage shoes that were left on fire escape in suspicious proximity to masculine friends window at a seaside hotel. The boot incident turns out, in the end, to be a trivial one. But the development of the plot is said to be judieious mixture of night and low comedy, with a humorous interpolation of osteopathic treatment for the dis ordered skull of the unwilling culprit who misappropriated the shoes and placed them where they did not be- long. The play scored an extraordinary run last season at one of the leading Frohman theaters in New York usually devoted to serious dramatic produc- tions. The bon ton elemen of the house took most kindly to the piece, laugh- ing unrestrainedly over it's keen good natured satire.

Made Famous by Byron
Castle of Chillon Immortalized by the Glorious
Verses of the British Poet.
Especial CsrrsspOxdsaes.S

BY far the best-known building in
Switzerland is the Castle of Chillon.
Byron's poem on its famous prisoner
has given 1t an undying celebrity,
which otherwise it would not have
had, for it is no more interesting in
itself than many other buildings of
the middle ages surviving in the
Swiss republic, although perhaps the
best specimen intact.
So exalted is the place held by the
Castle of Chillon in the minds of read
ers of Byron and lovers of travel. that
thousands visit it yearly, and look
upon it as a sacred monument to the
poet and to Downward the patriot,
who, but for the chance detention of
Byron at an inn at Ouelry, a village
on Lake Leman, not far from Chillon,
would long since have been forgotten.
Byron improved his time while
storm-bound for two days by writing
