SURE SUCCESS FOR THE AMA-
 ZONS."

Promenade Play Well Advanced-Mr,
 Short Enthusiastc-Aid From Daniel
 Frohman-Tcket Arrangement.
 This years departure from it's old policy of one play year by the Ora matic association bids fair to be crowned with striking success. Pine ro's light comedy "The Amazons," which is to be presented at the Hype- rion on Prom, Saturday. January 19, was chosen because of it's being partc- ularly suitable for presentation by an undergraduate organization and espe- cially adapted for the Promenade sea- son. Its author has described it as a "farcial romance" and it is generally recognized as one of the wlttiest plays ho has ever written.
 The idea of it is clever satire on the new woman" or twentieth century girl" who began to come out in her glory ten or dozen years ago, when this work was published. The story is that of an English countess who, never having been blessed with sons, deter1 mined to override the iictum of fate and bring her three daughters up just as if they were boys. The opinion of tav Wultu having tJ be regarded once Y "'to. the girls appear as such oc- casionally but spend most of their time t.,us ,ne He of athletic young Eng lishmen on their great estate, which has the euphoneous name of Overcote Park.
 The complications in the plot which lead to some screamingly funny sltua- tions are due to the appearance of three ardent suitors-a Frenchman, an effeminate little English baron and a strapping young giant with football reputation. The ultimate success of their invasion into the sanctlty of Overcote is won only after much in- trigue and tribulation, all of which has given full play for Pineros genius in comic 'denouements" and clever dia- logut
 To put this play on as well as it was done professionally in 95 and '96 has been the determination of the Dramatic association, and Sc far every success has crowned their efforts, MT. Short who as stage director and coach made the brilliant performance of Henry V'' possible last year, has very gene rously given the men the benefit of his services this fall as a friend and not professionally desiring to aid in the at tempt to reduce the expenses of this performance where it was possible. He has come up a number of times from New York and directed and out lined the work in full. In his absence

the rehearsals are run by c. R. Hop klns, 1907, president of the association, who for this reason has not role in
 The Amazons.'
 Also, in material for this years work the organization has been very fortu- nate One hundred and eighty candidates answered the call for first trials in spte of the fact that they were held in the middle of the football sea- son, and so in competition with 8 great many other college activities. The re- suit of the weeding-out process has been the selection of about twenty men to constitute an eligibility list" These men have been given opportunity to try Tor parts in "The Amazons" and do general work for the play Of these men, such number will be elected to membership as shall be considered best by the association. Some will receive elections before Christmas and more later in the year. For this purpose a meeting will be called later in the week.
 The final selection of the cast has been extraordinarily difficult and it may not be announced till after Christ mas, though it is practically decided upon now, MT Short has expressed his official opinion that the material has been the best he ever coached in his seven years of work at Yale.
 The costuming of the cast and espe- clally of the trio of heroines is the de- partment in which there will be no stinting of expenditure. The costumes Will be designed during the vacation by MT. Short and A. s. lMather, 1907, and executed by some New York firm. Tn this, the association has received great assistance from MT. Daniel Frohman, who first produced the play in Ameri- ca. He has permitted Mir. Short to look over the photographs of the cast and the scenic and prompt-book ar- engagements for that first production. These are, of course, of extreme im- portance in perfecting the Yale produe- ton and the generosity of MT. Froh- man is much appreciated here,
 If the demand for tickets in advance for the performance justtfies 1t, some system, resembling In part the distri- button of the football tickets, will be instituted in order to assure patroness and all connected with the university, especially men who expect to take promenade guests, first opportunity to secure good seats. Every possible means will be used to keep tickets out of the hands of the speculators and prevent another such situation as that at the time of the Harvard football game. The plan will be announced be- fore Christmas.

and space. To begin with 1t Is cut with many gores-eleven to be exact and curves to the figure without ab- ,sQlutely clinging to it. From just be- low the bust to a line below the hips there are groups of tiny tucks, lengthwise, which alternate with two rows of lace insertion. Around the bottom the lace is put on in diamand- shape, interlocking and crossed by straight bands, which has the appear ance of being exceedingly complicated. From the shoulders and across the front something of the same effect is obtained, with tuckts and lace forming a yoke around a little Dutch neck, Which may or may not be filled in. The back is given the same treatment as the front. and the result is one of the daintiest of all the house gowns seen this season. t
 Ill the way of negligee-under which head come the kimono, short and long, dressing jacket, and bathrobe-there is nothing really new and startling to be said, unless it is that the Japanese design have taken an extraordinary leap ahead of all others, and the Japa- nese shops and departments are being ransacked at a rate heretofore un- heard of. The silk ones are expensive, being usually embroidered and hand done at that and range In price all the way from twenty-five dollars up to a hundred and tWentv-tve.
 Plain silks with borders of embroid- cry or trimmed with any of the num- berless Turkish, Italian, or Japanese wrought bands that are to be bought by the yard, are wonderfully pretty, while those of figured silk with trim IT ings of plain material are also still in favor A very regal dressing gown or kimono Is made out of silk or satin brocade. lined with quilted satin. and bound with heavy silk cord. Many of the ruled silk gowns are noticed in the shops and no wonder, for they are more compact and comfortable than any of the others.
 The matinee may take the form eith- CT of short kimono or of a dressing sack, and for them crepe-de-chine, messaline, Japanese or India silks vie with the soft wools and eiderdowns for favor. These should fit well at the shoulders and hang in, graceful folds to a few inches below the waist line.
 Some modists are featuring little lace coats in Empire, sack, or sony styles for negligee garments. They are worn over slips of lighter silk fastened with ribbons, and are won- derfully attractive, without being as expensive as their nature might lead one to believe.
 Since trimmings are such an impor- tant factor this season. the market is floodd with new passementerie, ap- plidue embroideries. jewelled bands, etc. while jet has come to the fore with surprising vim. Jet is not alone for elderly people, as 1t once was, and not exclusively for black gowns, but Is seen in every possible combination of gold. liver. and color, and some of the effects are dazzlingly beautiful. All trimmings match ehmaterial of the gown which they are to embelish and whatever their substance--velvet cloth, chiffon-the predominating color in thme is the gown color-New York Evening Post.

 Mcclure, Phillips and Company's new book by Ralph Waldo Trine, the well-known representative of the New Thought movement in this country and the author of that classic, Tn Tune with the Infinite" has already sold, 1t is said nearly two hundred thousand copies in this country, Eng land and Germany. The title of this hew book is Tn the Fire of the Heart" and in it MT. Trine endeavors Do examine modern social and political problems from the particular stand point of this highly spiritual philoso- phy. There is nothing abstract, how ever, in the method of this writer whose style is highly concrete and imaginative.
 According to the author, the book will have, principally, three types of readers. The first, "that large class of open and fair-minded people who love justice and honor who believe in the great principle of equal opportu- mites for all and special privileges for none;" the second, who believe that they are a "sort of custodtans of the welfare of less favored people" and the third, who by fair means or foul, chiefly foul, and dishonest and devil ish, manipulate to get the great natu- ral properties that should be owned by and administered for the welfare of all into their own hands for their own personal and excessive enrichment"
 The author holds that the present industrial system is wholly defective, in that 1t takes out of a man all the energy and good that there is in him and then throws him out as public charge. In this connection he gives high praise and credit to Germany where the old, useless and wornout members of industries are taken care of and made to feel that they are still of some value to the world.
 There are chapters of interest devo- ted to the government public utili- ties for the public good, labor and it's uniting power and the life of the higher beauty and power.
 The author wishes to state most frankly that he has not aimed to make 1t academic or technical, or orthodox, but that he has deliberately aimed to make it a simple, concrete little vol ume along the lines with which it deals, popular in the sense of it's be- ing for that splendid great common people that has made this, as well as every nation of importance and power in the worlds history, and upon whose welfare all depends; and who, more- over, are now getting such awaken ings, as well as facts and forces into their possession, as will yet save and redeem the nation, and with it their own great interests"

 That Mrs. Deland does not often visit the once charming town in vest crn Pennsylvania which she has chris tened "Old Chester" is probably owing to the fact that the encroachments of a neighboring city have so transfor- med it as to destroy much of it's peace- ful attractiveness, and to make it not at all the "Old Chester" of her youth and of her stories. She was born near the town which she has immortalized in her old Chester Tales, her Doctor Lavendar, and still more recently in her Helena Richie, and her descrip- tions tell of it as it was.
 "Old Chester" of counse, is not it's real name: nor is it the old town of Chester near Philadelphia. It is, in- deed, near Pittsburg instead of near the city of William Penn.
