of the Union depot and walked into
the general waiting room. She looked
about her furtively. All the faces
were unfamiliar, and, depositing her
grip and parasol in corner of seat,
she went on to the ticket office. A
crowd was ahead of her, and she fell
in line quite casually.
Soon a man in a light gray suit and
alpine, with topcoat over one arm
and a suit case suspended from the 9th

in the rear.

keen eyes probing the thickness of her

ChOat's Motto for Lawyers.

Joseph H. Choate, the famous law
yer and diplomat, said at lawyers
dinner:
I'VE lawyers couldn't do better
than resolve, on the new year, to be
gentler in our cross-examinatiops
Rudeness in cross-examination never,
never pays. This is truth that l
once saw proven in a damage suit.
In this suit a cross-eXamining
lawyer shouted at a witness in over

much are you paid for telling I'M

"Wildare" by Kellett Chambers, in a recent interview.
 Miss Russell does not believe in wor- ry. But she does think all working girls should save money. Here is what she says:
 ''0ne would miss beauty, I suppose; but the tragedy would be to have some dreadful accident, to lose leg. for in stance, and never be able to go about or to do work again. I often think of that If that happened to me l should kill myself. But why speculate? she added. And with this the secret of the smooth brow, the childlike mouth, the beautiful, nerveless body, the eternal youth, was revealed
 "I never think of yesterday nor of tomorrow. To-day is enough. I don't make any plans for the future. I never have, Perhaps I am something of a fatalist. I always think, If l make such a, plan, and 1t doesn't work put well, I shall be disappointed, so l won't make it, it Is much better, I think, to be governed by present conditions, and dO WndL at tle llule Se6iIlS DeSl' IS u not written: Do not worry about the future You will meet it if need be with the same reason that you now employ in your present affairs?"

Apropos of Mrs. Fiske's Appearance
 the Sun is Quoted.

Apropos of Mrs. Fiske's appearance in Ibsen's "Rosnersholm," the follow ing editorial from the New York Even ing Sun in reference to her production of "Hedda Gabler" is of timely inter est:
 Tt is announced that another i'm portant social play by Ibsen Is to be given by the same actress who made brilliant appearance recently as the heroine of the most difficult drama in the cycle.
 "The great success of 'Hedda Cab fer pointed moral for actors, man agers and the public. It had been the habit of certain cynics to paraphrase the dicturn- New York gets in the long run the sort of government it de- serves, and say: New York gets the sort of play that it wants. So why should anybody object to the murder of Shakespeare by climbing comedians who want to be taken seriously, the immature stars and the painful humor and bad music or the comic operas so-called?
 "There was tradition that the plays of the great Scandinavian humorist were unpleasant or rather, 'uncom- , fortable,' to take the. definition which MT. Barrie has used in reference to his last comedy. It was assumed that they appealed only to. the Iong7haired per sons, whose chief claim to be regarded as literary was based on their un- tidiness and generally sloppy appear ance, and that while these dramas of modern life might be interesting to road, they could not be regarded as practical in considering the needs of a public which took MT Clyde Fitch, Messrs. Weber and Fields and the cir GUS seriously.

 The act has the proper dash and spirit to it and makes an ideal Christi mas week headliner. It should prove to be of big interest as the leader of what promises to be one of the most amusing series of vaudeville entertain ment seen here this winter.
 As a special added attraction w H. Murphy and Blanche Nichols in From Zaza to Uncle Tom will make up that end of the bill These two entertainers have one of the best vehicles for fun making that vaudeville boasts of,

Tiny gold or silver lace beadings, with or without the narrowest and finest of metallic lace edgings, are fre- quently used as finishing for tulle or net fuckers, baby ribbon being run through this beading to draw the tuck CT up snugly. Upon sheer evening gowns a deep hem of satin or velvet Is a saving clause, in addition to being important as a weight to drag the airy folds down into modish lines. Elabor- ate heavy embroidery, lace, etc, is substituted for the plain satin or chif- fon velvet hem in the more costly frocks, but even many of the most admired French models show the sim pier weighting.
 Salome velvet, almost as sheer and supple as Liberty satin is fashioned into gorgeous evening gowns, usually of princess allure, and the inevitable embroidered net is usually the chosen trimming, with lace in combination One wonderful gown was of silver gray velvet, absolutely plain skirt but with it's bodice laden with exquisite embroideries in dull silver or gray net.
 The skirt lines of the ultra-fashion- able evening skirt are like those of the cloth skirt and their drop skirts are as clinging and unsubstantial as those connected with the Paquin princesse skirt Just how one is to dance in these limp, long, feet-entangling draperies it is difficult to see, but doubtless the younger generation will wear shorter dance frocks and petticoats that will bear exhibition.
