Mary Garden a Thrilling
Salome

The evening before Mary Garden sailed
from Paris she had a final rehearsal of
the Dance of the Seven Veils.' which
"Salome," at the Manhattan opera in
New York at an early date.
Even since she returned from her
summer vacation in September Miss Gar
den has been studying the dance with
Mile. Chasles. an ex-dancer of the Opera
Comique. Each day Miss Gardens au-
tomobie has stopped before Chasles'
Sale de Danse and each day Mary has
stepped out with dancing slippers and
paraphernalia ready for rehearsal.
OF her performance of the dance
correspondent from Paris to a widely
read eastern newspaper says:
Miss Gardens costume differs in
marked degree from those her prede
cessors have worn. When she first en-
orange silk embroidered with startling
green and blue flowers and sparkling
with spangles. Later she removes this
mantle, under which appears a tight
fitting garment of netted gold with de-
signs in rubies and rhinestones, which
falls from somewhere above the waist
line to her ankles For the dance itself
this also is removed and Mary appears
in a small piece of nearly transparent
flesh-colored silk. Her feet are bare,
her arms are bare, and-really it is
impossible to describe this costume
1T may be seen, however. that even
when Miss Garden is in repose it is
costume New York has seen lately. She
wears a red wig, her hair falling about
her shoulders and only two jeweled
rings on her little fingers-one ruby
and the other an emerald. The several
wells are of soft organdie.
'She begins to dance at the back Of
the stage, swathed, in these wells; only
her eyes are visible; and then, always
terribly slow, she walks forward, sway.
ing gracefully and the dance proper
begins. The dancer rapidly divests her
self of the wells as the dance becomes
wilder.
Nothing more thrilling than Miss
Gardens rendition of the dance has
5een seen recently on the lyric stage
md the bacchanalian finale is most
wonderfully carried out. Miss Garden
ghirls and sways and stands on her
toes until you are fascinated and
wonder how she can do it; and finally
,he ends at the feet of Herod asking
or the head of John the Baptist"

Black Satin Top Coats

Unless modish possesses one of the
lively new black satin top coats she is
absolutely behind the times from sar-
torial point of view.
1t is rather a pity that so lovely a
material as satin and messalne is to be
worn so much on the street in the morn
ing hours However, it seems to be the
will of the majority.
1t is quite the thing to wear short
satin cloth skirt, with one wide tuck
around the hem. open work stockings
patent leather pumps and enormous
buckles, and straight, narrow directoire
coats of black satin to the hem of the
skirt.
The sleeves of this coat are long and
tight and fasten down the side to the
wrist. The neck is finished with high
consulate collar, with cravat of pleated
white null in front.
With this Is worn perfectly nat huge
black satin hat with a round crown, held
in place with authenticated pins. Black
satin is swathed around the crown, and
ends In large bow at the side.
Whether in good taste or not this is
the ultra costume one sees on the street

brows are for the protection of the eyes,
and if there is anything abnormal about
them the appearance of the eye is altered.
Don't allow the brows to grow shaggy,
but brush them as regularly as you do
your hair. If they are inclined to stand
out, paste them down with adhesive plas-
ter at night after having arranged them
in a narrow, good line. If they are
scanty anoint them with red vaseline, TAX
ing care not to get any into the eyes.
The same treatment will make the lashes
grow long and heavy.
Clip the lashes once or twice a year a
, very little, being careful to get them
even, and if any one hair is unruly, pull
it out.
Never, If you can possibly avoid doing
so, use an eyebrow pencil, as it makes
the hairs come out. IF you wish to
darken the eyebrows for an occasion, take
a very small stump (such is used
in drawing) and, after holding in tho
smoke of a candle, pass 1t gently over
the eyebrows until they are shaded as
desired.

A WEALTH-SAPPING SYSTEM.
New Public Utilities Managed in
Way That Retards Progress.

It should be borne in mind that the
ownership of public and semi-public
utilities by others than residents of a
community, is serious thing for the
people residing in the place. In west
ern cities there are hundreds of illus
trations of the working out of this
plan of securing public utilities. There
is need of a waterworks. Outsiders
come into the field with a proposition.
The city or town council is approached
and the final result is that a franchise
covering 20 to so years Is granted.
The works are built. People are then
compelled to pay highest rates to
meet interest on bonds and watered
stocks. The company perhaps pays
taxes less proportionately than the
residents of the town are compelled
to pay, and the only money left in
the community that is earned by the
operation of the plant are the taxes
paid, the wages of the few laborers
employed, and the salaries that few
straw" officers draw. All the profits
are drawn to the owners of the plant
in some other city, generally Wall
street, New York. Thus is built up
a system that draws the money earned
in the community to some other place.
It is the same with street-car sys-
tens, electric and gas lighting plants
and all other semi-public and public
utilities under private ownership, and
in which outside capital is chiefly in
vested
Should these utilities be owned by
home capital, all the earnings would
be retained in the community, to seek
investment in other Improvements and
the people would receive general
benefit. There is no argument that
can prove that foreign ownership of
any enterprise is good for a commu.
nifty. Any system, it matters not
whether in a commercial line, financial
or other branch, that takes from a
community the earnings of the people
and uses them for the enrichment OF
other sections, is a wrong system.
Let business men of every town get
these facts fixed indelibly in their
ueduS. LeJ COluHeICldl CluD tuIHuSl-
asts settle down to the fact that when
through their work any enterprise is
built up that means continual drain
on the resources of the place, it is
better there be no commercial club.
If there are any enterprising citizens
enough in place to invest in their own
town in this way, the town should
municipal ownership sentiment and
have the good work carried on. Com
mercial clubs are all right, but it is
often that they are operated all wrong
than all right.

CANNOT ENJOY HIS LOOT.
The Government Wins Suit to Re-
tain Possession of Bonds Depos-
tied in Banks by Capt Carter.

Chicago, ILL., - Judge Kohlsaat, in
the United States circuit court, rem
dered decision Thursday in favor of
the government in the suit against
Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, formerly Uni
ted States army engineer, charged
with having defrauded the federal gov
ernment to the extent of 100000
through conspiracy with Contractors
Greene and Gaynor
The court ruled that Carter was not
entitled to the 100000 in railroad
bonds and other securities traced by
the government to safety deposit
vaults and banks in various parts of
the country. Under the decision the
government will retain these securi.
ties and the famous case, which re.
suited in the conviction of Carter and
of Greene and Gaynor and the impos-
ing of penitentiary sentences, is
brought to close.
Funds of Capt. Carter which the
government claims were proceeds of
Carter's collusion with Greene and
Gaynor, are tied up by suits pending
in the federal courts of New York.
New Jersey, West Virginia. Georgia
and Illinois. By agreement all these
suits were consolidated and tried be-
fore Judge Kohlsaat in the United
States circuit court in Chicago about
a year ago. 1t is the claim of Carter
that the funds in question were given
him by his father-in-law, the late
Robert F. Wescott, of New York.
Westcott was charged by the gov.
ernment with having made invest.
ments of funds sent to him by Carter.
The case grew out of the construc-
tion of river and harbor improvements
on the coast of Georgia. The govern
ment prosecutors contended that the
army officer and the contractors de-
frauded the government in the sum of
$2,225 900, and that one-third of this
amount, or about $750,000, went to
Carter After several years work
100000 invested by Carter in various
states was traced and seized
