WAYS OF WORKING

Now, there is another way you might
utilize this design: First stitch the
sheer linen in tiny tucks. solid or In
groups, leaving at least the space OF
tuck between each; then stamp your
design upon the tucked material ana
proceed as if working upon a single
breadth.
Still another use to make OF the de,
sign: Stamp it upon white material

cover the lawn with net and EN-.
broider the design through both net
and lawn upon the net side. Now cut
away the lawn from the under side.
The result will be embroidered net.
the lawn having formed q foundation
without which it would have been
quite impossible to have embroidered

In joining the collar to the yoke

embroidery worked to hold them to-

that no shoulder seams are neces-
sary; this makes the sides Of the back
a trife on the bias instead OF on the
thread of the goods. as is usual. FOR
this reason the finishing OF the back
edges should be very carefully done
in order to prevent the bias material
from stretching The most satisfac..
tory way to finish these edges-as wen
as the back edges and top OF coiIar

TO USE LACE

Basic the lace upon the wrong side of
the stamped linen. being quite sure that
II extends over the stamping SO that
the embroidered stitches will hold 1t
firmly in place. 1t should be basted
quite close, so that II will not slip; the
right side of the lace should be placed
next to the linen. Valepciennes lace is
best for the purpose. whether it be real
or imitation depending entirely upon the
amount you wish to spend upon this
small dickey Let me say. right here,
that imitation valenciennes holds a
place held by no other imiration lace.
and Il is frequently employed by peo-
pie OF wealth who would never think Of
using an imitation If any other variety.
Having basted the lace securely in
place, proceed with your embroidery
on the right side Of your linen just

by the lace After the embroidery Is
completed. very sharp, smaA-polhteu
scissors must be carefully useo u
clip away the linen from the race OF
the lace. Double care must be taken
first. not to clip the threads OF the
embroidery: second, not to clip the
threads of the lace. If there is mere
suggestion, of raw edge after the cup
ping process, this will entlrely ois-
appear after the first washing. Sien-
der manicure scissors are good TOT the
purpose. as the curved blades make
the possibility of cutting the lace or
embroidery less likely.

William H. Conley plays the title

Cooks tourist from Chicago, who visits
the island of Oolong. is mistaken for
cook and is impressed into service as
chef in the rajah's palace. Mr.. Conley
gives an amusing portrayal of the

lar Let Me Go Back" which many
persons in yesterday afternoons audi
ence carried with them out of the thea
ter. Mr.. Conley likewise made hit
with the song I'm the Morning" and the
stage business accompanying it.
Karl Stall, cast as the rajah, wears
an Otheilo makeup and tries to act
fierce-the word is used in it's literal,
not it's slang sense. He succeeds fairly
well and sings a Bedouin love song, in
the second act, most creditably. Her

"THE LITTLE PRosPEcToR"
PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE

"Chic" Perkins opened a weeks en-
gagement yesterday afternoon at the
Peoples theater, presenting a mining
camp play 1.-THE Little Prospector."
An enthusiastic and large audience
greeted the players, and Miss Perkins
as the brave young girl who is try
ing to save her mining property was
constantly applauded. She wore the
picturesque garb of the stage western
girl and made a strong appeal to her
audience moving them to laughter
with her spirited wit and to tears
with her brave but pathetic effort to
save herself from the prosecutions of
dishonest men and women.
There are several amusing comedy
scenes between the Widow O'Dowd
and the sheriff, whose middle-aged
wooing is the occasion of much hi
larity. Mrs M. Perkins plays the part
of the good-natured Irish widow, and
WaIfred H. Wilson makes a brave
sheriff. His accent, however, is more
suggestive of down east" than of Col
orado.
The plot of the play turns upon the
efforts of the Little Prospector, Kitty
Colwell, to retain possession of her
hard-earned mining property which
has been taken from her drunken old
father by swindlers. Later, to add to
her trouble. she is accused of murder.

THE CAST
FLORENCE BOsARD LAWRENCE


EkTT} ON MOORE" with Andrew Mack
to interpolate many beautifu!
II Irish ballads, was a fairly sue
cessful play. Deprived of the magic
voice of Mr.. Mack, however, it displays
rather surprising paucity of ideas ana
few lines OF situations of strength.
Like many plays written for popular
stars it is really a one-man play. In
the current presentation Mr.. van Buren
is the central figure in every scene ana
group. He presents picturesque ana
thoroughly likable poet and makes the
best of the rather clownish Wit ana
acting demanded by the first act. There
is an abundant supply of puns and
Jokes here, supposed to be those or
Mr.. Moore. They are, however, more
suggestive of the glean1ngs from q
rather stale joke book than of the bril-
liant and sparkling humor of the days
when Richard Brinsley Sheridan set
the pace for men of wit. Later in the
play the character takes more manly
turn and finally In the climaxes In the
third and fourth acts is dramatically
dignified.
Here Mr.. Van Buren, rose splendidly
to the demands of the occasion, ana
after the third act especially was given
an enthusiastic recall.
Vivian Makes Hit
Richard Vivian achieved a distinct
success in the role of Buster, and made
the small part one of the most distinc-
tive in the play.
Miss Taylor presented picture OF
beautiful girl without one spark of
coouetry or one sparkle of animation,
scarcely the type to have achieved sue
cess upon the London stage at that
period.
Miss Smythe in the short part OF
Lady Fitzherbert was gracious ana
lovely in her gown of tulle and gar
lands. Miss Bernard was picture OF
girlish beauty, of which we saw all
too little, and Miss Eleanor Carey was
the soft hearted. hot talking Irish
landlady.
Mr.. Ruggles seemed rather out of his
place as a near-villain, and Mr.. Glazier
as the scheming London shark was
rather too cool in his protestations to
warrant the violent step which he pro-
posed.
A feature of the first act was the
singing of two songs, 1.-The Last Rose
of Summer" and kathleen Mavour-
neen," by Master Vernon Bettin, lead
ing boy soprano in Christ church. In
the school room scene these songs are
preceded by a boyish scrimmage and
young Bettin got a rap on his nose
which caused it to bleed rather vio-
lently during the singing of his songs.
He showed plenty of grit and went
on with them to the end, even singing
an encore which was enthusiastically
demanded nv his delighted audience
