LocalMan' sbad Memory

A story quiet amusing 10 all but one
OF the principals in a recent occur

prietor of one Of the Logan barber
shops, left his bootblack assistant in
the shop after the evening closing
hour. In order that any stray patron
might "butt.in" All told the boy that
as he was only going home for few

Georgia Harper in Camille.

If anybody went TO see Georgia
Harper just on account of her ward
robe, which is, no doubt, the envy Of
the ladies, there was evident disap-
pointment, because her marked ability
as an actress is so much admired by
the audience that dress is forgotten.
In Camille the struggle between love
and duty, portrayed by her, touched
the hearts Of all. The same scenes in
real life, and they occur, could not by
any possibility be more potent and alb
solute to the eve of the beholder than
was the imitation produced by this
talented woman. The support is all
good, the company being one Of the
best that has ever been here, present
ing the legitimate drama in clear
way. Miss Harper has many costly
gowns, but we are happy in the
thought that it wasn't altogether the
gowns that captured the audience
this time. - Daily Chronicle, The

Probably the first European women
to use fans were the Portuguese, per

their trade with Japan, though we find

the same century, mentions a folding
