"Tracy the outlaw"

One of the most successful west
ern melodramas from a box Office
standpoint is "Tracy the Outlaw -
which will be seen at The Kentucky
Saturday matinee and evening, Feb
ruary 16. The play is founded on the
life and exploits of Harry Tracy, the
Oregon outlaw. whose adventures ia
the great northwest were matters of
widespread interest some years ago.
Very few men have ever attained the
notoriety that Tracy has received,
and he is placed even above Jesse
James and other noted bandits as a
man possessed of blind daring and
misguided courage to an exceptional
extent. Very little shooting will be
heard in this production as 1t is
deemed offensive 70 many people.

Standing with one foot on the

a fire at 6:15 o'clock this morning,
succeeding in putting it out before

the admiration of the firemen and
others who witnessed her plucky ac-

with her mother. This morning she
was called from her house by an
alarm of fire. The roof was ablaze

mad to act at once, and leaving 9TH

are given in rare style. The company
carries five extra people for the or

wharf is fair.

boats until May will be difficult

winds. All last night and today the
winds on the river delayed steam
boats. Some of the smaller craft

river. the Fannie Wallace not being
able to operate because the crew re-
fused to go out into the turbulent
river The waves beat on the shore
like they do when big steamer pass

have imperiled the small boats.

are doubly troublesome on the rivers,
where they have a clear sweep.

of the predicament by furnishing a
studio and cultivating those arts

Mrs. Hepburn's studio teas are as

there are many women now counting

her skill as an artistic patron. The
situation has worked out to point
where no more than ten Senatorial
families are counted among the So

There are ways, too, whereby she
can seem to add a couple of inches

She must dress her hair high and
add to the effect by wearing a high

The longer her skirts and the
higher her heels, of course, the taller
she will look.
Princess frocks make her look tall,
and SO do stripes running up and

Frills and huge sleeves that in
crease her breadth take away from
her height
She should therefore avoid too

Women's Dresses 1000 Years Ago.

For women archaeology assumes a
deeply interesting phase in the ques-
ton which has been raised by Signor
MossO as to styles in dress as they
existed 1000 years ago Sjgnor Mosso.
the eminent authority on ancient
Etruria, the Roman Forum and early
Crete, has concentrated his great ex-
perience and knowledge on elucidat-
ing this bypath of science from his
Cretan studies.
The general result has been to con-
firm the old dictum that there is
nothing new under the sun. Signor
Mosso finds that 1000 years ago the
ladies of primeval Mycenae wore hats
pretty much as they are seen in the
showrooms OF Paris to-day-even to
the roses and ribbons and the turned
up brim. They knew what Grape
trimming was, had tartans before the
Scotch, understood the mysteries in
corsets lacing in front, short, wide
sleeves. metal belts, and style of
dress which an initiative nineteenth
century, that considered itself orig
inal, dubbed Empire"
Their principal colors in robes were
orange, yellow, blue and purple, which
rather upsets the claim of the Phoe-
nicians to have discovered" purple.
