their stay in this city. a melodrama
entitled, Beware of Men Apaek-
ed house greeted the performance.
All Of the young ladies from the
shops, hospitals and telephone ex-
changes, who had been invited to
attend, were present. And there
certainly was a beautiful bevy OF
them. We just took one look. and
there were Nora and Cora and Flora
and Dora, and Jessie and Bessie and
Tessie, and strings OF pearls. and
lunches Of roses, and-but what's
the use. We might as well try TO
describe the gorgeous gowns worn
by Miss Eaton. If You were there
you will remember the gasp Of adj
miration or jealousy that went over
the house when Miss Eaton appear
cd in that magnifcent-dress.
The girls all had a good time, any
way, but at the same time we SER
iorisly doubt whether or not they
took warning and will "bcware Of
men,
A melodrama by any name would
be as bloodtlirsty. The one shown
last night has three or four titles,
and a number Of others could be
suggested that would do as well.
Miss Eaton last night was the
very much persecuted heroine. But
after Miss Eaton had been 'handed

did she show up in second act with
a pale countenanee, a black dress,
and inquire wistfully about inc
chcild?" Not she. When she re-
appeared it was in blonde wig and
store clothes and homemade
French accent. Miss Eaton speaks

Alas for Mr.. 0'Connor, wasn't il
tough luck that he had to hide his
fatal beauty under the disguise Of
an old man. Mr.. 0'Connor was
killed last night. Some fellow seiz-
ed a piece of pie from his dinner
pail and struck him with ii. Bat
for the benefit Of the little blonde in
the blue dress, Mr.. 0'Connor will
be there at 6 80.

He had a real nifty office, including
some ticker tape.

lsay as to whether drink drove hin
