"The Devils" Make-Up

Those who have at last had the oppor- tunity to see the much-talked of play, "The Devil" will perhaps be interested to know something about the makeup which MT. George Arliss uses in his won derful portrayal of the part. It may be a surprise to knew that MT. Arliss, whose Devil an eminent critic has called "the walking embodiment of temptation" uses little or no aid from the makeup box
 In answer to a question as to what was the secret of the strong sense of devilish personality that he conveyed in the part he replied

I wish we could dis card makeup altogether. I think these first aids to characterization are over worked The use of strong color on the face is one of the relics that might be intelligently discarded in many cases.
 When actors first began to make up it was done to overcome the effect of strong lights from the borders and the footlights. The ordinary flesh tint of nature was negatived by the brilliant lights and the actor appeared pale and unnatural when on the stage as contracted with the men and women met in the daily walks of life. Once the theatre was one of the few places where there was high illumination. Now, in the homes. in hotels, restaurants end as we walk along the street at night

MRS FLouRNoY RIVERS AND HE WoRKsUccEssFUL DIRECTOR THE TREBLE CLIFF cLUR-FRlENDsHlP WITH JULIE
 RVE-KlNo-THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

To be granted the privilege of a friendly chat with Madame Julie Rive King when Mrs Fournoy Rivers, the director of the Treble Clef club, extended her charming hospitality to this great pianiste a few afternoons ago, suggested to my mind the keen interest Birmingham feels in music. and Its genuine appreciation of art and the artiste.
 Into this community has come of recent years no more important addition to mus ical circles than Mrs. Rivers.
 Aside from being a thorough musician, Mrs. Rivers is q really wonderful woman. She is endowed with a splendid intellect. an easy. fluent style. a graceful manner and that magnetism that is so essential in all achievement that savers of success She is a deep student and her lectures have won renown as well as her wonder ful skill as a pianste.
 Mrs. Rivers is one of the few southern women whose achievements have won laurels that are not restricted to a fixed locality Yet there is local coloring in all that she says and does-that breathes the soft tender spirit of the women of the south-the charm, the style that is unmis- takable The musical education of this talented woman was begun, practically, at the College of Music in Cincinnati, where she graduated, being the Springer medal list of her class, and by the way the Springer medal Is one of the few on this side that Is recognized in all the foreign conservatories.
 To hear Mrs Rivers play is a perfect joy. Her technique is wonderful, and her interpretation and rendition always soul filling and charming in every way Her versatility is marvellous, rendering with equal facility and grace Wagner's heart satisfying compositions, Liszt's perfection of musical thought, Chopins widest and most entrancing waltzes, Beethoven's loveliest sonatas, Mosl1owski's ravishing and most difficult fantasies.
 In chatting with Mrs. Rivers about her work and her early musical training. I asked her to tell me something about her instructors, to which she replied
 Well. my first teacher at the College of Music was Cecilia Gaul, to whom l owe great deal She was, as you prob ably know. a pupil of Liszt and also of Reubenstein. After her I studied with Lebert"
 "Oh, yes" exclaimed, 'the man who

Lucky Stone For 1909

The "amethyst'' is the fashionable stone for this year, 1909.
 It is pronounced by the Prophet zadldel to be the lucky stone and whoever pos sesses an "ameythyst" let him or her cling to 1t now above all times.
 If wearers find that the love and friend ship which the amethyst" represents are of no account to wearers, let them remem- Der that it is supposed to be a charm against the evils of intoxication.
 The jewellers at least have seized upon the superstition in regard to the 'tame- thyst." and the stone is to be seen in a myriad of designs which makes it pecu- liarly lovely and attractive.
 In the days of our grandmothers no stone possessed more sentimental value. and this year of grace will witness a re- vival of 1t that will render it more than ever popular.
 The Duchess of Marlborough long ago chose the amethyst for her favorite stone, and Mrs. Clarence Mackey pos sesses an amethyst ring that is the envy of every woman who sees it.

Eve Up-To-Date

The directore gown is responsible among other things for an important change in the prevailing style of dancing. Have you noticed it?
 The long, gliding steps of the beautiful waltz have been rendered practically im- possible for the wearer of the sheath gown" Witness the barn dance" The short, jumpy, jerky steps which have hitherto been gracefully performed, are now sort of happy, rollicking, "do-as- you please" sort of an arrangement, and the Academy of French Dancing Masters has decided that it must await the caprice of dame fashion to widen the skirt, or else the slow, swinging steps may not be indulged in.
 Thus. even dancing must accommodate itself to the directoire gown, which seem to have appeared like a sort of "sartorial Juggernaut crushing and leveling every thing in it's path.
 When the fashion changes and the limbs are left more free and unconfined the old-fashioned glide will again come into its own.
 In regard to early spring styles, the first news from the fashionable couturiers in the Rue de la Paix is to the effect that the directoire will continue in favor, although the lines will be greatly modi- fled.
 Waist lines will be longer, skirts less tight about the hips, and the bottom of the skirts will be much wider.
 My Paris correspondent also volunteers the information that every shade of lavender will thrive this spring. Mauve, violet, dark plum color, anything sug gAstiVa Of the lavendar tonaa

 As for the hat situation, no relief seems possible, although there are many small hats. Of one thing we are perfectly cer- tain, however, and that is that the spring models cannot possibly be more bizarre and wonderful than those of the winter. While "The Merry Widow has been worn to a frazzle, the ultra fashionables have long since adopted the modified yer sion and have found it far more practical and convenient as well as becoming Few women seem to get themselves up I in becoming motor costumes, and this seems so queer when the shops are filled with striking and at once practical hats, ! coats and hoods for this purpose.

The Army Canteen.

From Army and Navy Life.
 How long, O Lord, how long! Is there not one fearless, independent, public spirited American in Congress who will take up the cause of the soldier in the interest of the soldiers individual good, and of his efficiency. which is so vital to the country? We have called atten- ton, time and time again, to the growth of low dives on the outskirts of army posts since abolition of the canteen. We are now calling attention to the so- called "club s'' along the military road near Fort Myer, within a gunshot of the capitol. which have absolutely no reason for existence except for the ca tering to soldiers. Constable J. H. Col lins, the other evening, called at sev- eral of these "clubs," and found them crowded with drunken soldiers, and in one place fully 25 women, ranging in age from 6 to 45 years. The matter was placed before Prosecuting Attorney Mackey, who asked the cooperation of the officers at Fort Myer and a dis mounted troop of the Thirteenth cav airy was detailed to round up all sold iers found in the said "clubs."
 This trouble is not local. It exists in the vicinity of every army post. There Is one-and only one-way of putting a stop to it, and that Is by the re- establishment of the canteen, by accord ing to the soldier his constitutional right, which is not denied any other citizen, of social relaxation and good fellowship with his comrades within the post-his hOme-where the temptation to indulge to excess will be impotent in the face of post regulations.

order to do so they would have to be very fast countesses ?'
 At this she laughed and remarked that the great Steinbrecker had said of these beautiful waltzes that they were souls not feet "
 And speaking of Chopin and my love of him. continued Mrs. Rivers. in the most charming strain, let me tell you a pretty little romance which Steinbrecker used to love so well to relate. It is about the wonderful C-sharp minor olo- nase which, to my mind. is one of the great Poles most marvellous compost tions. 1t seems that upon one summer evening Chopin and Heine. strolling in the outskirts of Paris, came upon a lit tie torchlit garden where upon a rude wooden stage a young countrywoman of Chopins was dancing. Red shoes and a pair of glorious mournful eyes so worked upon the sensbilities of these two poets that Heine wrote:
 You still must dance, alas poor feet so
 weary,
 In gay shoes dresst. Though 'twere for you a fate less sad
 and dreary
 Meath earth to rest. You still must shine beneath the torches
 Sao eyes that weep. \ Would you could hide in shade your
 mournful story
 And close and sleep And Chopin taking the verses from him. wove them into this Polonaise, in which one can hear the whole story the dancer summoned by the clashing band; the rhythmic tripping of the little
