'"The Stolen Story at the Garden the
ater is hit The dramatization by
Jesse Lynch Williams of his story OF
newspaper life in New York has been
well received and is welcome contri-
button to the metropolitan boards.
The attractiveness of the play lies in
its hustle, its vim, its restless energy
in short, it's Americanism. Its weak
nesses are mainly structural and not
serious enough to overwhelm the genu-
inely dramatic situations that must
have been evolved from so stirring O.
story.
In so far as the play aims to depict
newspaper life it is accurate enough to
deceive the general public and to
please the initiated. The editorial
room and the details connected with the
work Of getting out newspaper were
much nearer the truth than the stage
usually gets, and the atmosphere was-
preserved throughout. Dramatic license
excused minor shortcomin IS.
The situation in the final act where

mindedly dashes into the office from.
which he has just been discharged and
turns out the beat of the year, writ
ing against time to accomplish it. is as
tense as that of a melodramatic hero
strapped to the track with fast ex-
press bearing down upon him.
The situation is plausible-indced, it
has happened-and the half frenziedl
manner in which Woods dashes off
page after page of copy" with the
moment of going to press right at hand
is the very essence of newspaper life.
jameson Lee Finney gave Wei sus--
tanned, easy portrayal of Woods. He
looked the part of the newspaper gen.
ius always on the job and in his final
burst of speed in the last act was
splendid.

tive one showed the corridor back OF

color is universally becoming, but it Is
to be feared that this will make little
difference. Only the wise woman
studies the effect of colors and clings
to those which suit her coloring. The

affords the desired flare, and little is
left to the petticoat.
No Frenchwoman would think Of
buying ready made petticoat and
wearing it just as she finds 1T. The
cumbersome drawstring at the back
must be done away with, and a snug
fitting waistband takes Its place. The
skirt must be fitted smoothly over the
hips and abdomen. Just what shall be
done with the back fullness depends
upon the figure of the wearer.
The bodice pictured Is a smart winter
model that carries with it some of the
bolero characteristics, but Is fitted into
the waist line. The sleeves are very
pretty and odd. JUDO CHOLLET.

Ganthony, who is merry wag, still
pursued him without mercy. At last it
occurred to Mr.. Grossmith that he
might have left the comedy in the cab
on the night it was given to him. He
went down to Scotland Yard and in

The Catlike Fox.

The fox is an excellent mouser. He
will lie and watch for a field mouse in
the long grass like a cat, pounce upon
it, kill it with bite and lay it on one
side until he has caught another and
another, when, picking them all up, as
many as he can carry in his mouth, he
will canter away with them to serve
them out to the cubs. This fact was
confirmed by witnesses in Scotland
who were examined by committee of
the board of agriculture when taking
evidence on the occasion of the plague
of field voles on the lowland sheep
farms in 1S93.-London Graphic.
