"The Devil which win be the nttrac.
ton At Chandler Music hall on Saturday.
Dec. 70. is an adaptation OF q Hungarian
drama by Ference Molnar, that for the
past year has scored wonderful success
IN every important capital Of Europe. and
since August has been the one big theat-
rieal sensation oI New York city.
As pictured BY Herr Moinar. aThe
Devii' IL not the conventional creature
from the region OF lost souls and unpar-
doned sinners, with horns and spike
tail, but Is a personihcation, In the form
Of a fashionably dressed, polished man Of
the world, cynical and humorous, with a
keen insight into the weaknesses ana
ioibles Of human nature, and OF the evil
that is within as ali.
In no sense does the drama resemble
Faust, some people imagining that Il
is simply version OF "Faust' under an
other name, but IL Is an originat, modern
drama, pointing a moral and expounding
lesson in uprightness that is-tfmely and
TO the point. The company coming here
is under the direction OF W. q. Mckay,
who has gathered together an acting con-
tingent OF sterling quality headed BY
Henry 7. Crossen, young American &C
tor, who portrays the role Of the devil in
q very able manner. The version OF the
play il identically the same as produced
at the Castle Square theatre in Boston for
forty consecutive performances, and the
original staging and detail is carefully
followed.

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years it was
supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pro
nounced a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local remedies, pronounced it IN
durable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, which is manufact-
ured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti .
tutional cure on the market. IL
is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer $4,000 for any
case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

In hotbed are sown the first seed
of the year, lettuce. rsdishes and the
gardeners favorite annual flowers long
before the danger of frost bite to ex-
posed plants Ia over; and when the in
experienced planter Is sowing seed IN
the open ground, the hotbed owner
will have we'll established seedlings
to set out and will have flowers and
vegetables week or more before his
neighbor.
The hotbed is nothing but a board
edged pit in which there Is fermenting
manure covered with several inches OF
soil The pit is covered with glass
sashes, which usually measure three
or four feet wide by six feet in length.
At night the glass may be covered
with boards or straw mats for protec-
ton The frame may be OF one-inch
boards which should be foot wide
at one end and eighteen inches wide
a. the other, so as to give the glass a
slope. enabling the water to run off
II thicker boards are used the frame
will be heavier and more lasting.

Buttonholed Panels.

New dressing gowns are made In
panels Of material. each panel button
holed on the outer edge SO that where
thew overlap the effect is most attrac-
tive and becoming to the figure. The
sleeves are, rt course. made like bre-
telles. being fastened over the two pan
els that go over the shoulders and
hanging straight over the arms.
In fact. panels have invaded all de-
partments OF dressmaking coats. skirts,
waists, blouses and bal, gowns. They
are, however, of much better shape
than the panels of four years ago, Cor
they are made to better display the
good points of the figure and to slur
over as far as possible the poor lines
which the average woman cannot al

Heat had for. silks.

Many complaints are heard over the
counter to the effect that silk gar
ments. some of which have been worn
very little seem to split. The very
worst thing for silk is heat. and Oft
times wardrobe Is built where a
chimney runs right back of it, or a
radiator is too near, so the silk crum-
bles.
Many wholesalers have holes drilled
in the walls for ventilation in winter
If their silks are near any excessive

semI-Princess Plan.

A charming dress OF wolfe is made on
the semi-prinCess plan, with the faint
stripes running from the shoulder TO hem
but the panel which extends in an un-
broken line down the front is made
with the stripes extending from side to
side. This costume is very little
trimmed and depends on this peculiar
panel and its surplice sleeves to carry
out the effect Of the wonderful lines.
The colors shown are pale violet and
white stripes, and the belt which ex-
sends around both sides. but does not
meet in tie front, is of yiole. linen.
The hat for this costume. made OF
violet chip lined with white straw and
turmoil up on one side. was trimmed
with a wreath OF violets about three
inches In diameter and white straw

Finl.hlng. for New Gowns.

Some OF the new afternoon dresses
are finished with bands of embroidery
that meet in the back in point at
the line of the neck and extend over
the shoulders, where they are loosely
caught in the front and allowed to
hang almost to the knees. These are
usually made of filet net heavily en-
broidered in gold or silver. or both.
and they add very festive touch
to costume otherwise devoid of
trimming.
Tho idea is new. and shows signs
of being much elaborated as time goes

Vertical Lines.

Trimming for stout figure should
follow vertical lines, acquiring, as far
as possible, that long and unbroken
effect from neck to foot which sug-
gests height
In the case OF so-called fluffy
trimmings. they must be OF a soft
and supple nature. and must be used
sparingly. avoiding any arrangement
which would accentuate width instead
OF length.
Avoid. too breaking the line OF the
figure by the addition OF belt or
girdle or extreme contrast in color
and material.
Too tight fitting will not make the
stout figure look slender; the secret
lies In cutting on good lines and In
selecting appropriate designs. mate
rails and colors.
