The story of Red Feather" is one of
unusual interest. 1t is that of a con-
spiracy, which reaches a sudden and
successful climax in the last act, to
overthrow a uSurper of the throne of
the kingdom of Romancia and restore
the rightful sovereign. Chief among
the plotters is mysterious free-rider,
Red Feather, whose identity is I'M
known until it is tunefully revealed in
strict confidence to the audience. 1t
is the Countess Hilda Won Draga, who
masquerades in the guise of a caval-
Ter on the roads, while appearing at the
court as a high born lady. The son of
the uSurper, the crown prince, is in
love with the countess, and so also is
his captain of the guard, and in their
rivalry and the pursuit of Red Feather,
the action of the plot passes. The eli
max is reached when the countess to
save the captain, whom she loves,
makes known her identity with the con-
spirator and the army Of restorat; IN
bursts the gates.
On this Mr.. Charles Klei.l has strung
incident and dialogue and action which
make an entertaining book. There is
comedy in plenty; the fun runs clear
through the two acts and there is just
enough sentiment to give relief. The
lines are bright and the jokes IRE laid
to be youthful. Tho lyrics of Mr.. Cock
are witty. brilliant ana fit the music.
Mr.. DeKoven's music would however,
carry any nbretto. 1t is reported to
be in his best style, Sharply original
and characteristic.

is in four acts and never in Miss Bing-
hams prior productions, sumptuous
and magnificent as they have been,

versally pronounced to be one of the
most gorgeous and expensive scenes
shown in any theater this season.
Miss Bingham's present company,
as has always been the case in her
productions of the past, is of 1.-The very
highest standard. Her leading man,
William L. Abingdon, is worthy sue

Bingham is seen in a stronger role

Gloves.


The origin Of gloves is very ancient
Some authorities assert that they were
known in Bible times, from references
made to shoes" which were thought
to be Identical with gloves. The first
clear account of gloves comes, howey-
er, from Xenophon. This writer speaks
OF the Persians wearing gloves on their
hands to protect them from the cold.
Homer describes Laertes working In
his garden with gloves upon his hands
to protect them from the thorns and
Varro mentions this apparel as being
worn by the Romans.
Gloves have been tokens of solemn
and Important things from the ninth
century. They were adopted as rite
Of the church. and later the transfer
ring Of lands or titles was always at.
tended with the presentation of gloves.
In the eleventh century the method OF
challenging to single combat by throw
ing down glove was instituted, and
this custom still remains in some coun.
tries. Gloves were not worn by women
until after the reformation.-St. Loui,
Republic.
