to say good-by.
Then he went to Ohio and repoTted
for duty at the large establishments
operated by his friend. In all his life
he had seen such magniicently
appointed Offices and he felt that he had
reached a place where the surround.

bition. He was beginning to feel at
home. The round-faced man met him
with a bright smile and a glad hand,
then took him affectionately by the
arm and led him into his private Of.
fee. There they chatted for a long
while. The big man was delighted
over the improved appearance of his
young protege, and in a short time
learned what he could do and assigned
him to an important position. The
salary was yer up to the rather or
timistic view entertained by Eddie

General Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com.
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
. In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination OF Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is n Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
tho genuinc-manufacturcd by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Exit the PIaits,

The plated skirt is rapidly disap-
pearing. New designs are cut circular
and c%ircularly gored. AS for the trim.
ming, the bias folds are disappearing
with the plaits and circular folds are
taking their place. This change Is
most remarked in the walking cos
tune, which for 80 many seasons has
been modelled or the plated style
with little or no variation other than
in the grouping of the plaits and the
width of the bias bands. Skirts arc
longer, too, and walking length now
barely escapes the floor, while for a
costume inclined at all to formality
the skirt is long and trailing.

"About twelve or fifteen years ago

and stung so badly that l could not
have any peace because Of 1t. Three
doctors did not help me. Then l used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint.

began to get better right away. They
cured me and have not been bothered
with the itching since, to amount to
anything. About two years ago

left me with a pain in my side. Treat
ment ran it into my leg, which then
swelled and began to break out. The
doctor was afraid 1t would turn to
blood-polson. l used his medicine
but 1t did no good. then I used the
Cuticura Remedies three times and
cured the breaking-out on my leg. j. F.

Gossip About Plays and Players

whom she admitted as her guests, which
has hurt her.
Il decided to give a private party, at
which l invited some of my personal
friends for the purpose of letting them
see just what the play was to be like
said Mrs. Glyn to me. when l saw her
at the Ritz today. 81 knew that i'll tlfeir
minds there was an idea that the play
would not be altogether proper, as 1t
were. and ! wanted to show them that
this notion was wrong. As a matter of
fact, those Of them who came to see it
were somewhat disappointed on this score,
and many of them admitted afterward
that it might nave been more up to their
expectations in this line without shock
ing any Of the prophecies.
1T was a well understood thing by
everybody invited to this private party
that the play was not for the purpose OF
criticism-that it was only a personal
private affair. and | must say / cannot
understand how the people who wrote TO
the newspapers aftcrward about the pro-
duction could have acted in the manner
in which they did under the peculiar cir
cumstances.
1T is true that the play was produced
at the Ad0lphi theater; but this was SIM
ply because no private house would be
large enough for certain of the scenes.
The fact that it was produced at the
Adelphi had nothing to do with the pri-
vacy Of the performance, and those who
had invitations to see 1t were under
strict injunctlons on this score. | con.
slider that In writing criticisms to the
papers under the circumstances those whc
have done so have broken faith.
"The next matter l would like to men.
ton. with q little moro detail. is the cen.
sorship. In It's present form the play ha.
never been before the censor, and, fur
thermore. there IS absolutely nothing i'm j

say that it anyone finds 1t so, It Is onl!
because he reads evil into my lines. Tn,
entire play is an ethical and psycnolog

except as such.
Those of my friends who saw the pla.
stated that they thought 1t a very good one
and that it only needed pulling together L
