Monetary Inducements Overcome Scruples of Famous Opera Stars.

The committee in charge of the music festival of Tuesday afternoon and evening, October 2, which will mark the opening of Music hail in the new Buckingham building. has completed negotiations with Madame Louise Homer, contralto, and Signor G. Campanari, baritone, of Heinrich Conried's Metropolitan Opera com pany of New York, and 1t is now assured that both of these noted solo, fists will sing. They have been en- gagged only by the inducement of a larger sum than either of them has ever before received for an engage ment of this kind. The committee, rather than disappoint any who had welcomed the rather premature an- nouncement of their prospective en- gagement with delight, cast mone- tary considerations to the wind and acceded to every request the singers made.
 The members of the committee are in constant communication with Vic- tor Herbert, who will be here with his orchestra at the dedication of the new hall, and program of surpass- ing musical excellence is promised. Leader Herbert, who Is regarded as the foremost light opera composer of the present generation, will. of course. himself conduct his orchestra and his host of admirers in Water bury and surrounding towns will re- ceive every opportunity to accord him the plaudits he deserves.

POLES
WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME.

Vance & Sullivan's new play, Why Girls Leave Home," which will be presented at Polls tonight and to- morrow evening 1t is said to contain a story that is entirely different from any yet been told by melo- dramatic romances. The scenes of the play are laid in a lively little metropolitan city adjacent to New York. Unusual as 1t may appear, there are no slum scenes, no uncall- ed for profanity. no gun plays of i'm possible climaxes in Why Girls Leave Home," but on the contrary a wholesome narrative of the. happen fngs in the household of small but respectable family and involving es- pecially the events in the life of the innocent young girl who thinks the companionship of glitter and glare not at all unnecessary to the enjoyment of life. The subject is said to be handled with great deli cacy. The success attending the presentation of Why Girls Leave Home" Is unusual, and 1t has already scored its mark and is now admitted among the great hits of the popular theaters. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents. Telephone 116.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord. nor will sick Kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg. lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, headaches dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back. or first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay q moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys. regulate the urine. cure hack ache. dizziness and languor, and per manentiy heal the Kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.

of women in your town do 1t. Follow the world and not local set. You will find that if you are right that set will follow you.
 Linen is proving preeminently the modish material for the more sub stantial waists, but good linen is ex- pensive and for women who cannot afford to pay high prices for their waists there are models in madras and in the tserviceable English plaque. One of the most popular which we have seen is one with the short sleeves with collar of either the high flap turn-down type or with the low collar turning away from the throat. The latter, although 1t looks tempt. ingly comfortable for hot weather, can be worn by few women past their youth. With the high collar, however, the waist becomes practical for any one who can wear shirt waist at all, and though the idea of short sleeve tailored waist strikes one at first as inconguous, the actual thing is really very attractive.
 As to frocks. soft silks, radiums, foulards, etc, are in favor. The Pe- king stripe radiums are, very popular, and there are many charming small designs in the new foulards, combin- ing shadow stripes and dots with printed and broche figures in one har. monious shadow.
 Lace enters into the trimming of al- most all of these frocks, and new ef- fleets are obtained by the insetting of lace and the use of silk bands or motifs applied over this lace, or by the use of soutache braiding over in. set lace.
 The light gray frock has not yet run It's course and Is useful all around frock for the woman of limited ward robe.
 The gowns shown in our illustration are of white alpaca and lowered mus lin. The first of white alpaca is trim mod with stitched bands of alpaca, held by circles. The short coat shows u shirt of blue and white batiste, while the hat is of the Punchinello or der in pale blue. with rosettes of blue on either side. ~
 The lowered muslin has full skirt trimmed on the hem with alternate founces of lace and muslin. A lace collar outlines the muslin bodice and displays fine lawn chemisette. The mushroom hat is bound with black velvet and covered with, pink roses yelled with tulle.

Just another word in addition to what was said last week as to the rage for white. It would hardly seem necessary to say that the woman over 40 Is as free in her use of the white costume as the younger woman, for one at all in touch with the lwhirl of modern life has ocular dem- onstration every day of this fact, but those who do not live in the great cities. and do not have dressmakers who are constantly urging the wear ing of clothes that grow younger and younger. need resssuring on this point.
 There Is no denying that there has been a revolution in dress for elderly women. We say revolution, but per haps 1t would be better to use the term revival. for women of ye olden time did not wear the somber clothes of the chimney corners because they were past 40. In fact in those days they led things with high hand and set the fashions, and true 1t Is that there is a suspicion that they dressed entirely too much for their age. And to-day there Is heard the same kind of gossip, but there is no reason what. ever for a young woman of 40 don. ming somber clothes, and as to the wearing of white. 1t Is in the best of taste. and generally most becoming. There IS no reason whatever for her to wear clothes that differ in any re. spect of color or style or fabric from those the younger woman wears. The only injunction being that they must be made in becoming style.
 When q woman gets too old for pink. blue and majenta, she rightfully adopts white and grey for her own. But this age is not anywhere near 40. It comes in somewhere near 5S or 60. It Is only a question of time when women everywhere will get used to the verdict that black Is necessary for mourning and for nothing else, but as we stated last week even in the matter of mourning there is change taking place and white is coming into favor.
 Wear black If you will but let 1t be because you must be economical or because you want one black gown be. cause 1t Is becoming. Don't say that you do not intend to follow the fash ions of those giddy butterflies who want to appear young. Don't contend that the wats of the city are not your ways. Don't do an old fashioned. out of date thing simply because group

Styles for the Boys and Girls

Fashion Is turning her attention to ehildren's garments. and importations in this direction show distinct and separate influences for the two sexes. For boys. English styles are eminent ly the thing, while for maids. hats, coats and gowns must express the Parisian touch. Even with garments made in this country, London's taste stamps the boy thing. and smart mammas will spend much time in choosing the correct English and Scotch textures, which are first choice everywhere for masculine wear.
 It is curious to see how severely ex- acting the English styles for lads are la point of correct mannish detail. Cuts and materials for any particular purpose are scrupulously defined. morning dress needing one thing. af- .ernoon another. and all the accesso- ries which accompany either calling Tor as much care.
