gie Mason, and Little Pauline, who plays the part of Little Tattoo.
At the Gayety.

Mildred Stoller, who plays the leading role of the Dainty Duchess" burlesque is a woman of handsome appearance and indeed a queen of burlesque." She made quite hit with two large audiences at the Gayety yesterday, the audiences ap- bearing very much pleased with the manner in which she handled her part.
 In the first scene of the last act, which is a burlesque on the Merry Widow" she presents 6 unique conception of the Widows" efforts to get the prince to dance with shei
 She also presents neat sketch in the olio, impersonating Fay Templeton, Lillian Russell and a French dancer She ap- pears on the stage. announces whom she will impersonate and retreats behind the scenes to change her costume. During the intervening moments a moving pie ture is shown of her in her dressing room making the change in question. Owing to q mishap in the mechanism of the ma chine this was not shown at last nights performance. This will be remedied in time for the matinee today, however, and will be shown at all other perform ances this week.
 A lively and good looking chorus sup ports Miss Sroller, a number of pretty dances being introduced, while the cos tuning is especially good Lilly Lenora was pleasing in the "Devir dance, which she presented in the olio, being assisted by six lively girls. She also appeared as a French dancer in the last act.
 'erhe M ln With Two Heads is an odd revelation, and convulsed the audience with laughter. This Extraordinary speci- men ol huplanity is none other than the clown in the Potter -Hartwell aero Latte trio, and the most comical part about the performance is that the audi ence never realized he was possessed of two heads until he stood on one at the finish of his act.
 Manager McArdle has announced chorus girls waltzing contest for Wednes- oay night, in which the male partners will he selected from the audience; a wrestling match for Thursday night and the regular amateur contest on Friday night.

Pads and F'ancies.

A welcome addition to bathroom fittings is the utility box of white enamel about the size of shirtwaist receptacle. It is intended to hold towels, and half the sur face at the top of the box is divided into compartments much like the tray of an ordinary trunk, except that it is station ary.
 These spaces are for holding clean washrags and different kinds of soap.
 In addition to its legitimate use it is a convenient seat to use when putting on or taking off shoes and stockings
 Stockings in bright tartar effects such as the stewart seem to be loud, but really they are charming when worn with shoes that harmenize or contrast.
 less stirling but equally effective combination is the plaid of the black watch in hose, worn with dark green suede shoes closing with smoke pearl but tons.
 The vamps Of the shoes are in narrow raised strioos, like corduroy, the uppers of plain smooth suede. Plaids in wood brown and cream are lovely when the shoes are of tan suede.

Wear Your Pearls.

Pearls should be worn frequently to preserve them. If you take a pearl neck lace and Jock it up you will find that in the course of years the pearls become dull and lose she sheen that makes them so valuable.
 It has been suggested that personal in- fluences have something to do with the matter, but it is more likely that the ef- feet is due to light and air You can wear pearls practically as long as you like-certalnly for 50 years-and they would give no indication of change, and you might lock pearls up and perhaps ill 20 years they would show signs of dying" There are, however ways of resuscitating pearls, but the fact that they die is quite clear.

When Baking Custards.

One cook gives these suggestions for baking custard Always set the cups or bf king disn containing the custard in a pan of hot water, when putting in the oven. Then do not open the oven door for 20 minutes. At the end of that time try the custard with knife. If the blade comes out clean the custard is done. Otherwise, let it remain a few minutes longer until the test is satisfactory AL ways bake the custard in a moderate oven. It is said that when these hints are observed the custard never separates and is never underdone.

outfield drives by Birmingham and Checll
in the fourth inning were as fine as any,
thing seen on the Cleveland diamond this

their way to their hotel after the game
they let everybody along the route know
which way the battle had gone.
