A pillow shower" for a coming
bride of Washington d. c., gave a
large circle of friends a chance to dis
play their originality in entertaining as
well as their taste in ornamenting the
special gift of the occasion. The en-
tire house was decorated with wedding
bells and sprays of white clemats As
each guest descended the stairs a tiny
bell was tied to their wrist, so that the
"tinkle' Of the wedding bell was heard
throughout the entire evening. The
place cards each bore water-color
sketch of a flower, and when all were
seated two tiny tots entered, the little
girl bearing a white bouquet. which
she presented to the guest of honor.
The boy, who carried a bouquet of the
different flowers portrayed on the place
cards, offered the bouquet in turn to
each guest, with the request to take a
flower, by means of which their place
at the table was discovered The table
was artistically decorated with we'd
ding bells and white flowers, and from
each plate a broad ribbon extended to
the chandelier, at the end of which
was a picture of a statesman, poet,

holder what her future spouse would
be. One ribbon, which ended i'm blank
verse, was drawn by the most popular
girl in the section, whose chances for
being an "old maid" are very slim. in
spite of the prophecy After the re-
past each guest wrote her name and
an appropriate sentiment on her card
and presented them to the bride-to-be
as souvenirs Her chair was complete
ly covered with bells and bows of white
ribbon, and before her place was a
huge loving cup, from which the guests
drank to the following toast: "Her
health, his wealth and many years of
welded bliss"

Made Carr Cook. mother of Eleanor
Robson, and the star of Mrs. Wigs
of the Cabbage Patch" has signed a
unique contract with George c. Tyler,
manager of Liebler & Co., whereby she
agrees to play the role of Mrs. Wigs
for the term of her professional life"
The proposition, so she admits, was
made to her, and her signature obtain
ed to the contract by Mr.. Tyler just
before she left New York to open her
season.
The contract was drawn by the at
torneys for Liebler & CO. and Mrs.
Cook, who benefits very materially by
it, inasmuch as she will receive very
large fixed salary all the year, together
with a percentage of the receipts when
playing.
She frankly confesses that she loves
the role of the quaint, motherly, opti-
mistic Mrs. Wigs, whose proverbial
philosophy dispenses With all worries
makes it sinful to fuss" and useless
to begin putin up your umbrella till
it rains"
Il am thoroughly elated,' said Mrs.
Cook "at the idea of playing the part
of Mrs. Wigs for life, for I do enjoy
it, and think 1 may say without ego
tism that whatever successes 1 have
made have been made in great single
parts. Joseph Jefferson himself, on
seeing Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" at the Savoy Theater in New
York, came back on the stage to con-
graduate me, and, strange to say, told
me that I would live and die Mrs.
Wigs. just as he was doomed to live
and die Rip Van Wrinkle"

the Opera House some years ago This
is Mrs. Cooks fourth year in Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"

On that great battlefield known as
the Wall-street district there are wo-
men who match their brains against
the brains of the men, and who now
and then win.
| In that district there are thousands
of stenOgraphers of the weaker sex;
also clerks, messengers and even pri-
vate secretaries who wear skirts.
/ These young women rarely come into
the limelight, and are contented to
fight a good fight, to take the losses
with the victories and, if beaten, to
turn and fight again, hoping for a vic
tory next time.
A fey of those brainy young women
have been forced into public notice,
and while there, have acquitted them
selves we'll 1t will be remembered
that the private secretary of H. II.
Rogers, Katherine I, Harrison, by her
shrewdness kept the secrets of her
employer when the lawyer of the
great State of Missouri tried to wrest
them from her.
