How You Should Dress

The woman who attends an evening
performance at the theater wears a
al gh-necked and long sleeved gown OF
handsome texture and elaborate dec
oraion-such a costume. IN fact,
whether Of silk, velvet. net or lace, as
would appear to advantage at an af-
ternoon reception Her hair should be
carefully and becomingIy dressed, and
her shoes should be delicate and her
gloves white. or Of a very pale color.
And even for one who Is 10 occupy an
orchestra chair at the opera, this same
kind OF costume is entirely suitable.
but many women in that case prefer
to wear such a toilet as is requisite
Wne:s seat In box is occupied. For
an opera box a gown OF becoming color,
rlcn fabric, and cut low In the neck
and short IN the sleeves is considered
appropriate; white satin and diamonds
are none too elaborate for a perform
ance Of Faust" OF ''LOhengrin'' as wit
messed from a box.
For a gentleman, when accompanying
ladies to the theater. opera or con-
cert, where seats in a box or the
orchestra are to be occupied, the prop
er costume is the same as for a ball
or formal dinner party. When a gen
tleman attends the opera with a man
friend. he may assume the privilege OF
substituting a short-skirted dinner
jacket for the swallowtail evening coat
and with this a felt hat, a black silk
or satin bow tie and a walstcoat that
matches his coat IS worn The dinner
Jacket should never be seen at the the
alter when the Wearer makes one in
a theater party or accompanies a lady
not nearly related TO him. With long
tailed evening coat a stiff silk top hat
or a black opera hat with collapsible
crown are equally suitable. though the
latter is more convenient. Men who
observe all the best fashions in dress
wear white kid gloves 20 the opera and
throughout the evening; these are not.

1t does not take very long to write a
letter, and everyone knows the pleasure
involved IN getting one; but, like all
other good things. letter writing can be
overdone. Generally, II is the girl just
out of school who overdoes 1T, and later
in life she counts II as one of the things
she should have left undone.
When a girl goes away from home to
visit a friend. she should. the next day
without fail, write a nice little note to
her mother. saying that she arrived
safely, and then from time to time she
should write short notes home. in order
that the family may know what she Is
doing and that she Is well. II mother
leads a busy life and does not answer
these letters, that is no excuse for the
girl who is visiting and has nothing to
do all day except amuse herself When
she leaves the house of her friend she
should within a day or two write a
nice letter of thanks to the mother OF
the girl whom she visited. To use
common phrase. this should be your
real bread and butter letter. and then
later you can resume your regular cor
respondence with your girl friend The
girl who is always nice to her elders,
thinking OF them in the little ways, is
the girl who is popular with both men
and girls. IT may not seem worth while
at the time. but. take my word for it
it pays In the long run.
The girl who spends the entire sum-
mer away from home at hotel or
boarding house, or even the girl who
only stays at such places for a week
or two, often becomes very well ac-
Quainted with some young man. he
makes love to her, more or less of
the vacation brand. and she lets him.
Sometimes ne means this, but often
er they are words that mean nothing.
After they separate, they start a cor
respondence- The girl writes how lone
some she is without him. or how she
wishes he were back. and some
times for a time he answers IN the
same vein. But take my word for ii.
the average man is not foolish enough
to put down in black and white the
things that woman do. He IS gener-
ally too wise. Think what you like. say
what you wlll-but be very. very care

For the User Of Perfumes

Not long ago there was a girl. nice
one. too. whose instincts and tastes
were usually OF the utmost refinement,
who suddenly developed a love Of musk
Every place she went was pervaded by
the heavy, siclening odor, 10 the amaze
ment and annoyance OF her acquaint-
ances. Finally. after some weeks, a
daring friend ventured TO speak OF this
surprising use OF perfume. The girls
arnazement was ludicrous-a severe cold
had destroyed her sense OF smell for
the time being. and she was utterly IN
conscious Of offending the canOns OF
good taste.

But a perfume 70 be permissible must
be subtle-a suspicion rather than an

scent IS more than unrefined, Il often
verges on selfshness. as there are many
persons who are made ill by the heavy
odor Of even an expensive perfume.
The woman who uses a scent at all
should aim TO have It individual as well

pany Here Tuesday.

son will be presented at GlOver's
Opera House Tuesday, afternoon and
night by the Beggar Prince Opera
Company The Offering at the matt
nee will be Birds of a Feather" and
at night Fra Diavolo" willA be pres
ented Both operas have received
wide praise, the latter being one of
the most widely known in the coun-
try.
The management promises a galaxy
of pretty chorus girls. The staging
of the show and the costuming of
the players are described as gor-
geous. Catchy songs, laughable sit
uations and fresh lines all contribute
to the success of the presentation.
Besides being attractive the girls can
sing acceptably. A capable cast is
assigned to the heavy work.
Manager Lucas, of the Opera House,
was fortunate in being able to secure
such company by reason of changes
in routing which brought them in

LOADED FOR BEAR

Unlike the original inhabitant of
the ark, Senator Davis, of the modern
Ark, did not send out a dove at the
first landing. His oath of office was
hardly cold before he was making
desperate efforts to land a knock out
blow on the octopus
Disregarding all precedents, which
tend to quell the emullitions of newly
fiedged Senators, the doughty Ark
ansan would brook no delay. Efforts
at repression were vain and on We'd
nesday he introduced his bill and de-
liyered his philippe. AS it was out
of the ordinary for a new Senator
to become conspicuous so quickly and
as the subject matter was hot stuff
the press associations handled the
Senator's effort at considerable length.
Some newspaper Photographer had
predicted that Senator Davis would
in three months be eating out of the
hand of the trusts. 81 may share
crumbs with a Lazarus, but / swear
TO you that shall never eat from
the hands of mammon," was the ans
wer of the Senator to the flippancy.
Senator Davis ridiculed the results
of the fight of the President against
the trusts Not one trust had been
own method of dealing with the trust
magnates would be to place the Of
tenders in stripes behind the bars, a
suggestion which has the merit of eff
fectiveness at least According to the
Senator, his bill would clean out the
trusts and make them tame enough
to receive instructions from the peo-
pie
No fears need be felt now that the
present Senate will not be lively one
The Republicans have adopted the
scheme of adiourning the house to
prevent Democrats from attacking the
administration and asking embarrass-
ing questions, but the Senate can't
be shut off in this summary manner
The Senator from Arkansas is the
liveliest wire ever attached to the
national legislative halls. If he does
not make it hot for the Republicans,
and the Democrats under the domina-
ton of the trusts, it will be a great
surprise to everybody and especially
to the gentleman from Arkansas.

ANOTHER TIGHT
SUNDAY FOR NEW YORK
Aldermen Referred Amend
ment TO Committee.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-(SpeciaD -
After wrangling for two hours over
a Sunday closing ordinance to amend
the so-called Blue law, and remove
the ban from Sunday entertainments.
the Board Of Aldermen by vote
of 50 to "a referred the matter to the
Committee on Laws and Legislation,
with instructions to report at the
next meeting of the board, next Tues
day This action gives to New
York another blue" Sunday The
Law Committee will hold a public
hearing on the resolution.

Alderman Reginald Doull present.
ed an ordinance which, while forbid
ding plays, operas, farces, ballets,
minstrel shows, dancing or other stage
performances, would permit vocal
or instrumental concerts, lectures, re-
citations and singing. While the or
dinance was less liberal than had been
expected, it provoked hard debate.
Alderman Doull said that he had
submitted the ordinance to the cor
poration counsel, who declared it
legal and not in conflict with the
penal code. Alderman Meyers said
that the. ordinance was in the inter-
est of a vaudeville trust and respect

man Timothy Sullivan, the majority
leader of the board, declared that
the people deserved immediate re-
lief, and that every newspaper in the
city was for the ordinance.
