msn will give the first local perfor-
nance of SHAM" her newest and
said to be. best comedy success. which
has been written IN three acts by
Geraldine Bonner and Elmer Harris.
Miss Crosmnn has not been seen In
Baltimore since her notable produc-
tion OF "The Christian Pilgrim" last
fall. and although the dramaiization
of Bunyan's story would seem to be
pinnacle OF literary merit on the
stage, Miss Crosman's manager, Maui
rice Campbell. has succeeded In find-
ing comedy which, II Is promised,
Will add to the stars already long
list Of successes.
The title OF the condolences new
est play, SHAM" is intended to be
neither eccentric nor catchy MS an ad-
yertising campaign, but describes In
finitely better than any other, the
theme, the principal character and
the environment OF the play.
Miss Crosman will be supported by
an excellent company of New York
playera, including Charles Walcott,
Margaret st. John, Ida Waterman,
Paul Dickey, Edward Durand, Amelia
Mayburn and others.

RULED BY A CHILD
Car of Russia Slave of His Own
Son.
Despot Over Millions, He Is Governed
with a Rod Of Iron by the
Little Grand Duke
Alexis.

st. Petersburg.-Now that the czar
has safely reached home again
through the avenues of steel that lined
his way to and from Italy, it may be
interesting to note that, while the en-
peror is generally pictured as the
tyrant of slavish subjects. 1t Is not SO
generally known that he himself is
the slave of most unscrupulous
tyrant.
This despot of despots is the little
Alexis Nicolaievitch, the heir to the
Russian throne, who is the only person
IN the empire to ignore the sacredness
OF the emperor. Often when the czar
is occupied by the most important
business little Alexis manages to es-
cape from the nursery and, arriving
on the scene, demands that his father
ride him on his shoulders. The czar
accepts the mandate and drops affairs
Of state until his son is surfeited with
the pick-a-back pastime.
The favorites of Alexis are an old
hon-commissioned officer, Stepan by
name, and his nurse, Maria Ivanovna,
who puts him to bed and makes him
say his prayers. These prayers are
the cause of frequent quarrels as AL
eXis insists on mentioning old Stepan

ATTENTION PAID TO HOSIERY
This Part of Costume of the Woman
Of To-Day Must Be Dainty and
Appropriate.

There was a time when women were
satisfied to save the finest pair OF
black stockings. and to stow away for
best use the daintiest of shoes, but
nowadays the question of hosiery agi-
tates women as much as coat suits
and evening hats.
The woman who has plenty of
money buys silk stockings to match
her gown and even indulges in de-
signs embroidered at the instep, and
her cousin with a smaller income in
vests in Isle thread and embroiders
a design over the instep. She cannot
originate or transfer design cor
rectly; therefore she has a pattern
stamped on the stockings by compe.
tent person.
For the bride who is to be married
in white there could be no more ac-
ceptable gift than white silk stock
ings. These may be plain, embroid.
cred or enriched by insets of a good
quality of lace.

Tight Hose Injurious.

Are your stockings long enough for
your feet?
A seller Of shoes remarked not long
ago that the short stocking was pro-
ductive of as much discomfort and
foot mischief as the tight shoe.
And a great many women do buy
their stockings too short.
The result of this is to draw" the
feet to make the tips of the toes ten
der and sore, and generally to in
crease ones disposition to fatigue.
Stockings should be at least half an
inch longer than the foot.
To keep. them from rumpling up and
forming irritating creases, make n
small cross-wise plait under the arch
of the foot.
When the foot is thrust into the
shoe the pressure draws this plait
out to a sufficient extent to make the
stocking quite easy.

mother. Maria corrects him, but un-
availingly.
Millions are praying for my faith

ing for Stepan, and Stepan is very
much in need of the Lords blessing" "
He is perfectly cognizant of his high
position and the little czarevitch is
greatly offended If he is not saluted by
the soldiers with due honors.
What is the use of being a grand
duke if the soldiers do not salute
you?" he asks. He is just beginning
to read and write and the first use he
made of the accomplishment was to
sign some degrees to Cossacks, as by
birth he is chief of all the Cossacks.
His overwhelming military ardor leads
him to prefer the coarse brown bread
OF the barracks to the delicate food
Of his nursery.
Alexis, with his sisters, has been
spending delightful holiday at the
cars Crimean castle of Livadia where
no word reaches them of the serious
condition Of their mother or the cares
of their father. The little grand duch-
esses, like Alexis, are not pampered.
They are healthy. charming girls, liv-
ing principally out of doors. The czar,
who vigorously upholds the etiquette
OF the court, shows a peculiar demo-
cratic trait toward his children, and
by his orders they must be called by
their Christian names-their titles of
imperial highnesses can be used only
on state occasions.
The cZar Is a very early riser He
generally takes breakfast, consisting
OF tea, eggs and ham. at seven o'clock.
The meal is served by an English
cook, the czar and czarina both having
a preference for English food. Imme-
diately after breakfast the czar
smokes Havana cigar. His majesty
is extremely fond of cigars, quite un-
like his father, Alexander ILL.,, who
only smoked Russian cigarettes and
objected to cigar smoking among the
dignitaries of his court.
After long stroll In which he is ac.
companied sometimes by his children,
the czar takes lunch, which consists
OF several courses. The conversation
with the czarina and children is gen.
orally in English, as his majesty does
not like to be overheard by the serv-
ants. who speak French, but not Eng.
lish. After lunch the car generally
makes an excursion by motor car. spe.
cial roads being laid down for his

After dinner bridge or other card

for low stakes. The czar is an excel.
lent card player. Sometimes artists
are invited and concert is offered the
visitors.

When planning the winters outfit
the afternoon home gown comes in
for a large share Of attention. 1t is
one of the most important of all cos
tunes, for 1t is worn at more or less
formal home affairs, such as recep-
Gons, teas, musicales and the numer-
GUS occasions of the season.
The gowns sketched are suitable
for this purpose and bear all the hall
marks of the latest Partisan modes.
The first gown is of a deep, smoky
heliotrope velvet having a blush
tinge. The velvets of the season are
wonderfully soft and lustrous, not at
all the hard, stiff material it used to
be. 1t is one of the most graceful
fabrics for the drapings that are so
much in vogue.
The skirt and bodice draperies of
this gown are held by large cut jet

Prescriptions Not General.

Some people look on doctors pre-

cry recipe and pass it on to their
friends for general use. They forget
that some symptoms may come from
totally different causes and that to
take medicine prescribed for a
friend is very risky thing to do and
may do great deal of harm.
