What is heralded as one OF
vaudeville's most attractive and
pretentious productions, "At the

story is based upon a recent Incl

the vicinity of New York and
shows society folk at play. Numer-
Gus clever specialties ana novelties
are introduced. There are Is peo-

classy dancing acts, pressing COM

have won favor, but there have
been few offerings that combine
all three of these forms of enter

case in the Ruby Raymond in THE
Street Urchins." The McGradys,
consisting of father. mother and
daughter, will present one of the
most novel of acts-an exhibition
of arrow shooting in conjunction
with an equilibristic act. Special

this offering. The Arlington is a

New Discovery Has RevoIutionized
the Treatment of Skin Diseases.
Nothing in the history of medi-

cess of the marvellous skin remedy
known as poslam, which. 1t is safe
to say, has cured more cases Of
eczema and skin diseases than any
remedy ever offered for these ills.
The success of poslam Is not at
all surprising when 1t is considered
that even a very small quantity
applied to the skin stops itching

Every druggist keeps both the so

MAKING ROUGH, BRISTLING
EYEBROWS SOFT AND SMOOTH

Even middle-aged women who have
shaggy eyebrows may improve their APP
pearance by properly treating the brows.
For with training bushy hair may be
forced to lay in a straight or curved line,
and will in time become soft and add
beauty to the face.
In treating bristlins brows gum arabic
should be used. To apply soak the gum
in enough water to dissolve it. Before
going to bed the liquid must be applied to
the brows with the finger tips. rubbing
lightly and pattfng, that drying shall be

WRITING LETTERS
OF CONDOLENCE

To the majority of persons there is no
more difficult social duty than that of
writing letters of coincidence. and many
shrink from it. Yet those who are in
sorrow so greatly appreciate messages
from their friends that no effort to write
such a note should be considered too irk-
some
AS matter of fact, the writing of such
letters should be no effort, for every
word should be spontaneous, coming 6
straight from the heart TO comfort those
afflicted. These letters differ in tone
and in length according to the degree of
intimacy one has with the person to
whom one is writing. To formal ac-
quaintances the correct form is to send
ones visiting card, on which one writes
at the top of the card, Deepest SYM
pathy' or Our deep sympathy for you
and yours when you wish to include
their family and your own.
Letters OF confidence should always be
ink. Tinted paper for this purpose is in
correct, while colored inks for social
usage are obsolete. When penning such
note, write legibly. for the mind and
the eyes of the reader will be under a
great strain. and it is kindness to
avoid any possibility Of taxing them.
Try to express sorrow naturally, just
as you would talk, and do not endeaVor
to say much, for few rightly chosen
words will adequately carry the feeling.
1t is usually most comforting TO the be-
reaved to hear the lost one praised SO
always try TO put in your letter some
tribute. Recall kindnesses done by the
one now dead, or any personal thing
YOU can think of, and when you are
writing of some one with whom possibly
you had not a personal acquaintance
think of things you have heard others
say and quote them with sincerity. for
they will be comfort and help toward
the consolation to which you are seeking
to contribute.
1t is most thoughtful when writing TO
persons in aff1iction, after expressing
ones sympathy. to offer ones services in
any way that might be useful. There are
often little things others can do for
friends until the first shock passes and
life resumes for them more normal con-
ditions.
In writing, always make it evident that
you are more than ready to do these
acts, but, having offered. do not press
yourself upon them, for to do SO would
be tactless and intrusive. Some persons
are sensitive to the invasion OF their
privacy, SO it is well not TO be over
Jealous in ones desire to help.
