Her Magnificent Ermines
Here are the mime coat, mum, stole
and hat. The coat and muff were worn
last week in Kate Shannon" and are
the real fur, not the cheap weasel imi-
tation which SO many actresses use for
their stage ermine. The coat alone In

Next in interest among these garments
is a royal crimson cape of velvet and
sable. This is one of the favorite 4pes
worn by the late Fanny Davenport In
many OF whose roles Miss Stone has
appeared so successfully here. II is lined

ing woman at the Auditorium. When one
woman says that of another, especially
when both are in the same profession,
and that a profession noted for its Jeal-
ousies. there is certainly much truth in
the statement
ANY regular attendant at the theaters

in town does one see such magnificent
costumes as those hich adoTn the leader

know what the eastern actresses wear nor
do We always have an opportunity to
know how many times in a season those
gowns are renewed. Consequently the
word of this eastern actress has much
weight She especially cited the instance
of the recent production O.. the Auditori-
um stage of The Marriage of William
Ashe." This was staged with splendid
effect. and the gowns worn by Miss Stone
in the role of Kitty were far more splen-
did, she said, than those which Grace
George wore for the original production in
New York city.
Expense is Tremendous
TO the average woman the main point In
getting a gown is In saving the price. The
actress who has to dress many parts in as
many weeks finds that only a lesser con-
sideration, important as it Is In every
case. The character of the part must ye

In Mountain Climbing.

The highest point at which climbers
have stayed for any length Of time Is
20, ,992 feet, on the Himalayas, where an
exploring party painfully stayed for six
weeks in 1902. Higher still, at 2l.slO
feet, is the extreme point of Mrs. Bull
lock Workman's ascents, the greatest
height reached by woman. Mr.. Bull
lock Workman kept on to a point 3D.
393 feet high, which is the greatest
height reached by any mountain climb
er. The attitudes reached by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman were above
those at which NJ Berson, the aero
naut. began his artificial inhalation OF
oxygen. At 26,240 feet the aeronauts
in general begin the continued inspira-
tion of oxygen. and neglect of this pre-
caution was responsible for the death
of NM Croce, Spinelli and Sirel at 2S,-
208 feet, and their companion, Tissan-
dier, just escaping by miracle.
Mount Everest, the highest point OF
the globe, is only some 100 feet higher,
2s.995 feet, and 5000 above that begin
the cirrus clouds that are composed OF
spicules of ice. At 35.424 feet Is the
highest point ever reached by man.
This is the height attained by NJ. Ber-
son in his balloon on July 81, l9Ol.-

touching the low price of 80 marks
In 1899. After that the price was
