HENRY sTocKBRIDGE AS FUeE
FLlPPlN IN "THE HALFBREED"

Henry Stockbridge has always been
known as a clever makeup man, his
creations having on numerous occa-
sions proven theodelight of Burbank
patrons, who almost refuse to accept
him in serious role through his hav-
ing made so good in comical ones.
His portrayal of the bashful Fuge
Flippin has caused wave after wave
of spontaneous laughter to sweep
through the audience many times dur
ing each performance of "The Half
breed" which began its fourth week
yesterday afternoon.
Henry Stockbridge's delightful con-
ception of the ludicrous role has so
impressed Joseph Montrose, the young
composer that he will begin work inn
mediately upon a song hit especially
for Mr.. Stockbridge to sing in THE
Halfbreed."
The song will be incorporated with
the balance of the music of the play.
all of which was written by Mr.. Mon
troSe, and will hereafter be sung where
ever 1.-The Halfbreed" is produced.
The new composition will be called
TITS Hard to Love a Bashful Man -
and Mr.. Stockbridge promises to sing
five verses with q limit of ten encores.

LITTLE HOMES
ARE DESTROYED
OCCUPANTS FIGHT VALIANTLY
TO SAVE GOODS
Small Blaze In Boyle Heights District
Has Spectacular Features-Ffre-
men and Policemen Work
Very Hard

A cottage at s45 Stephenson avenue
was destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon, and four adjacent houses were
badly damaged, entaillng total loss
approximating $3500.
The blaze started in the residence of
G. M Yancey, s45 Stephenson avenue,
from the explosion of gasoline stove,
Mrs. Yancey scarcely had time to
snatch her baby from Its cradle and
rush into the street before the entire
cottage was wrapped in flames.
When the fire department arrived
adjacent cottages at S43 S47 and $40
Stephenson avenue were ablaze and
the rear Of house at 1886 Avery street
was partially burned.
Save Their Possessions
The occupants of the burning build
ings were all people of moderate means
and they tried with desperate valor to
rescue their few belongings from the
aames.
The fire was soon under control and
members of the fire department and
several patrolmen aided the frantic
families in removing their goods to a
place Of safety.
An immense crowd Of spectators
gathered from the congested districts
around stephenson avenue viewed Lne
spectacle, and automobile parties from
uptown watched the efforts of the de-
partment to save neighboring houses
from destruction.
Car lines were blocked for more than
an hour and lines of hose were run
from long distances, proving the need,
the firemen asserted, Of more hydrants
in the district.
Mrs. H. L. Willis, living at $40
Stephenson avenue. said she moved to
her present quarters only about two
weeks ago and neglected to inform the
insurance agents of her change of ad-
dress. She placed her loss at $500, and
feared the insurance company would
refuse to pay for the burned furniture
others Suffer Losses
Genous Villavos and S. Moreno, liv-
ing at SAT Stephenson avenue, placed
their loss at $400 with no insurance.
Mrs G.. M. Yancey, S45 Stephenson
avenue said her loss would be about
$780, rhe adjoining cottage, occupied
by John Slattery, was partially de-
stroyed, with a loss Of 500 to the fur
niture.
Henry Ander, 1856 Avery street, was
able to remove all of his furniture be-
fore the rear of his place was burned,
and he suffered only nominal damage.
The five cottages are said to have
been owned by w. H. Rollingsworth.
The fire department estimated the fire
loss on the buildings at $500.

When fire alarm box 13 was turned

the firemen said there would have

a fireman as he stripped off his cumber-

there is nothing in the old supersti-

tected me-"
Peculiar Combination
According to a supposedly truthful
patrolman the combination of num-
bers formed by the fateful "13" was
remarkable.
The fire was first seen by lad 10
years of age, who called to clerk in
Fred Barman's cigar store at Third
and Broadway.
A West Adams car number 313 mar
rowly escaped collision with apparatus
of engine company No. 8. The fire
started at 1918 O'clock and exactly
thirteen firemen responded to = the
alarm. 1t is said the cause of the
blaze was a smoking cigar of the
brand known as 1917" being dropped
from room 313 in the block at the
corner upon the awning beneath. The
damage was estimated to be $11S, COW
cred by insurance.
A property owner who spoke of the
curious coincidence in the number 10
figuring so prominently at the fire said
1t was lucky that engine company 10
did not respond, or surely there would
have been a catastrophe.

His Unsuccessful Effort.

who ever committed suicide?" asked
w. p. Pollard. You know 1t is said
that Irishmen never commit suicide,
and when the argument was ad-
vanced in crowd of that nationality
he was so unstrung that he decided
to show his opponents that Irishmen
do sometimes commit rash act. He
accordingly disappeared, and the
man who employed him started a
search. When he got to the barn he
looked up toward the rafters and
saw his man hanging with a rope
around his waist.
What are you up to, Pat?' he
asked.

There are lines which do not
wrinkle easily, and it is of these
that ones morning frocks should be
made.
the rule seems to be that the
separate coat of taffeta shall be
black or dark no matter how light
the gown is with which it is to be
worn.
Monair Swiss is the name of one
of the most alluring summer ma
tefials, and beautiful piece in
delicate rose-pink with dot of black
is forty-five inches wide.
Floating streamers of gossamer
fabrics appear as ties worn with
sailor costumes and the elaborate
Peter Pan waists as we'll as in auto
mobile wells and hat ties.
The linen parasol with a graceful
lacey pattern in French embroidery
disposed over the entire surface is
one of the prettiest of the many
handsome novelties displayed this
season.
Bands Of insertion alternating
with box pleats of the same width
make d pretty yoke for the summer
blouse, the result being especially
good if the sleeve tops are treated
in the same way.
To secure quite the most approved
effect, the up-to-date young lady who
wears slippers with embroidered
heels selects from her supply of
hosiery, stockings embroidered in
the same color and design.
English eyelet, which was SO much
in vogue last season for linen suits,
is seldom seen now except on house
gowns, and not at all on separate
coats. French raised embroidery
and applique form the decoration in
stead.
The single line OF feather stitching

much more distinctive than a line
at each side. Those VINO are adept .

Horizontally-applied bands OF dull

by small space the lines or ribbon
tend to increase the apparent size
OF the hips. therefore this style at

An Avaricious Woman.

The modern woman is often ac-
cussd of extravaganza, but when ac-
cusing a person of over-liberality in
everyday life it is as well to re-
member that over-caTefuiness in
money becomes Just as reprehensible
as over-extravagance.
A woman who carried love of
money to an incredible extreme was
Lady Margaret Jardine, sister Of the
first Duke of Queensbury. Although
her husband was a ricl man. Lady
Margaret would actually carry foot
passengers across the little River
Amman for a half-penny, and when
ever there was a fair o. market day
she would sit On the banks of the
stream all day long waiting for GUS
toners, says Home Notes.
She usually wore rags to save her
clothes, but on the rare occasions
when she visited anywhere she packed
up few decent garments which she
slipped on before entering the house,
exchanging them for her dirty ones
when leaving.

To Get Rid of the Fly.

lie Matin, of Paris, has offered
prize for the best method of getting
rid of house flies. The offer has
drawn forth an essay entitled DE
lenda Musca," which processes to give
method by which the pest may be
destroyed. The remedy is not sought
in fly papers or Fly traps of any kind.
The breeding places of the insect
must be sought out and the evil dealt
with there.
The writer of the essay tried mix
ture of soda and chloride of zinc, US
ing eleven pounds to thirty-flve cubic
feet of material. This was found eff
fective, and 1t is recommended for
closed tanks, but not for places where
the poisonous solution could drain
away. Petroleum at the rate OF
about a quart to every eleven square
feet of surface was also tried, but
the effect was found not to be suf-
ficiently lasting. Coal tar was found
to give better results. Raw petroleum
or raw schiet oil-the residue in dis
tillation-was found to give the best
results. About two quarts of this
mixed with water were used for every
square feet of surface. This forms
r stratum of oil in the drain or over
the surface of the solid, which effec-
tually prevents the development of
the egg or grub. And this protective
coat of oil, it is further pointed out,
facilitates the development of anaero-
bic bacteria, which liquify the solids.
and so render them unfit breeding
places for flies.

For Proper Young Widows.

A young widow, who if not her
self sitting up and taking notice,
yet fears that she may be the cy-
nosure of critical eyes, sends the
following appeal to Vogue
please give advice for mourning
for a young widow. What is the
correct hat and veil? Are elbow
sleeves good taste? What collar
and cuffs are worn? What materials
and trimmings? Give model for a
travelling coat
Here are the latest rules Vogue
gives for the guidance of young
WIDOWS desiring to mourn properly:
If you observe the strictest stan
dards you should wear a Grape bon
net and veil in town and a Grape
hat with Grape or chiffon face veil
correct way of draping a widows
veil. We do not care for any of the
fancy drapings which are sometimes
seen. These are not good taste.
Elbow sleeves are not good taste
in deep mourning, as they make too
much of an attempt at dressiness.
Collars and cuffs of sheer white Or
candle are worn by widows. These
have deep hem and measure three
inches or so in width. For materials
use nuns yelling, Henrietta cloth,
crepe de chine, chiffon, dull veilings
or taffetas.
Lace and embroidery are not cor
rect Trimmings buf Won can 11ca
dull-finished ribbon, net, footings
and hem-stitched rufles. All white
can be worn for summer. as it is
as deep mourning as all black for
country wear. All your gowns
should be simply made. For your
coat use dull-finished pongee, with
trimmings OF stitched taffeta.
