In Lent

The candy dealers say that there is a
marked falling off in their sales during
the Lenten season, for sweets always
keem to be the favorite thing to deny
oneself. But mothers say that never
do they have to keep a more careful
watch over the health Of their small
daughters. for the children feel so
righteous at not eating candy that they
devour no end Of sugar. dates, figs and
raisins, and consider these only their
rightful due for the strength shown in
other directions.

Alexander Bevan presents very
delightful singing number in the Eight

goers are as a. rule slow to express APP

are evidently inclined to make an ex-
ception in the case OF this act. for it
has been accorded a hearty reception
at every appearance. including as II
does a list Of well-known artists, there
is no reason why It should not score Q
hit here. In Gypsy Life" is well
staged and has all the qualifications Of
a high-class operatic performance. The
singing is exceptionally good and the
piece is very capably presented. Man

GOLD LEAVING GERMANY.

feet on German Flnaneiers.

Berlln-Gold continues to leave Ger.
many in steady stream. The Reich.
bank lost probably 100000 during
the past week, but the stock has been
more than replenished through ar.
rivals from home sources. The Reich.
bank is trying to increase its gold sup.
ply by paying out bank notes OF small
denominations which recently became
available for circulation.
The impression here Is that most OF
the gold taken for the United States
during the week was drawn. from the
open market. The tendency shown In
Wall street the past few days has had
a calming effect upon the minds OF the
financial community and the hope il
now entertained that a gradual recov-
cry will now set in in the United
