Black Velvet Robs Up Again.

Black velvet trimming is playing
rather an important part upon the
first spring frocks and a touch of it
seems likely to be used upon almost
any material or any model

cuffs which were introduced upon the
tailor coat and coat costumes of white
Panama serge, mohair, cloth and even
linen last summer are once more IL.
evidence upon the white tailored
frocks for southern wear and in some

Dress Novelties.

Never in all the history of things 10
wear have there been as many novel
ties. The shops are filled with them
and the windows are packed. Row af-
ter row they hang, all temptingly set
forth for the woman who has the
money with which to buy-new gir-
dies. long lace stocks and beautiful
neck rufies.
Some OF the new things 70 wear are
strikingly and startlinsly elegant.
And, in the line of elegant garments,
net stands forth very prominently.
They are making cloaks Of net. wraps
Of the same material. and whole
gowns. dozens of them. all different,
and most of them very pretty.

Poverty Soup,

Place about one or one and one
half quarts water in a kettle, pare and
slice two good-sized onions and put
into water, cooking one-half hour;
then pare and slice as many potatoes
as desired for the soup, putting in salt
and more water if needed (as little
water should be used as possible in Or
der to cook in good shape). Whea
potatoes are nearly done as much as
good rich milk should be put in as one
desires. seasoning with butter, pei
per and more salt if needed. Let this
boil up and serve at once.

Taffeta Suits.

Tailored suits of taffeta will be la
mode for summer wear and stand an
excellent chance of supplanting the
shirtwaist suit. The models now ex.
hibited are three-pieced affairs, tbs
extra garment being, of course, a del.
icate lingerie blouse of linen or silk.
The fate of the taffeta suit is yet in
the balance, however, and one is quite
safe in investing in a gorgeous model
of the shirtwaist genre.

smsreldsries for chndren.

Although laces and embroideries are
used to a considerable extent in de-
signing small fashions, it Is far more
practical to employ narrow braids and
strappings of silk. Delicate embroid-
cries are always smart. but they must
be guarded with a care that deprives
the tiny wearer Of much comfort, and
in this age OF freedom Children are
growing out Of the idea Of being IN
CO. So-table for the sake OF fashion

So many other smart effects can be
gained and worn with more ease. Taf-
feta dresses are really very smart and
the new silks in very wide widths are
heavy enough to stand for much wear

green taffeta has the plated skirt,
finished with a deep hem finished with
two bias bands of satin ribbon.

NEW LEADING WOMAN
FOR THE FRAWLEYS

After four months Of effort, T. Daniel
Frawley of the Lyceum theater has Sc
cured a leading woman for his company.
Several women sent out by dramatic
agencies in New York have been tried
out and rejected, but at length MI.
Frawley comes to the front with the an
nouncement that he has secured an
actress for whose ability he can vouch.
She is Miss Alice Johnson. Some time
ago Mr.. Frawley went to- New York
himself to make his selection. While
there he saw many applicants and spent
much time looking up their records.
Miss johnson was his final choice.
Miss johnson was leading woman
with Mr.. Frawley during one Of his
most successful seasons on the coast
and he has no misgivings about pre-
senting her to the Lyceum patrons,
Since leaving the Frawleys she has been
playing a Broadway engagement in
New York. She will make her first
appearance with the Frawleys in Min
neapolis as Barbara Fritchie in the
Clyde Fitch play of the same name.
Another announcement, which will be
less pleasing to the patrons of the house
and the Minneapolis public in general,
is that Miss Consuelo Bailey leaves the
company at the close of this week for
an engagement with company now
forming in New York. Whether in
leading roles or in ingenue parts
Miss Bailey has been an unfailing
source Of delight to those who have
seen her, and her departure will be the
cause OF sincere and genuine regret.

Providence, fate, luck, call it what you
Will. got busy around the Associated
Charity headquarters late yesterday. Sim
ultaneously a messenger boy walked into
the front office and the telephone on the
managers desk tinkled.
=" Over the phone came story Of poverty
which was worse than that of any Of the
hundreds of. pitiful tales which are annu-
ally brought to light when the work Of
Christmas charity is begun. Up in North
Minneapolis a widow and her children
were the playthings Of hunger and cold.
Edwin D. Solenberger, manager, then
stepped into the front office to consult
with his assistants as to the best way to
care for this case. The first thing he
heard was the question, What shall we
do with the turkey?" The messenger
boy who appeared at the time the tele-
phone message came, had departed,
leaving this message: "The loidy what
give me this bold says to give it to the
poorest family in town. She don't care
If they have grub, but she wants it to go
where there's lots of kids who amt goin'
to have no turkey dinner. She says it
Amt no matter, What her name is -.
Here was the solution Of the problem.
The bird was sent out at once in charge
of one of the visitors, who had orders to
look into the case and to order any other
needed supplies Of food or fuel from the
nearest grocery.
