the children. Manager Goodfellow was
on hand when the first train arrived
laden with youngsters. and until the last
train load started back to Washington

pOsal of the children
And anyone who might think that
they didn't take advantage OF tbs gen
erous offer on the part Of the park
management is very much mistaken.
They rode on the chute TO their hearts
content, they were whirled around the
roller coaster until they were dizzy and
cried Enough" the younger children
enjoyed the flying horses. they Travelled
through the mystic caverns traversed
by the scenic railway, and the grown
ups who accompanied some of the little
folks had a fine time watching the emil

culture. In this act Nine Yale was a
Golden Grip from head to foot Her
costume was of gold, with a front panel
of cut amber beads and the pastel
shades of similar hue.
In the second act the Madame showed
the yale System" of physical culture.
In a knee-length costume, such as a
child might wear Nine. Yale looked
like a great French doll. Her colors in
this costume were turquoise blue and
white. Black hose and black slippers
gave tone to the effect.
To the music of a lively two-step, rem
dered by an orchestra, Nine. Yale began
a dazzling series of picturesque exer-
cises, more difficult to describe, in fact,
than the gowns she wore. The flashing
Of jewels from dainty fingers and jew
eled slippers kept ones mind in such de-
licious excitement that there was no
time to measure movements or study
system.
In the third act was where Nine.
Yale scored her greatest triumph. Her
costume was a Greek tunic affair of
white and silver chiffon, worn over
white tights. White jeweled slippers
and Greek headdress of pearls and
silver comprised the ornamentation of
the exqUisitely yelled figure that the
CAun Nt MILO no uOuDL W0ulQ nave
envied. This was where Nine Yale's
artistic skill was best shown. The Yale
walk was an exhibition of grace and
beauty. From the sublime to the ride
ulous she went when she initiated
modes Of personal locomOtiOn.
At the conclusion of the act Nine
Yale gave an ethical half-dance, half
play maneuver called "The Return to
Childhood" The consensus of opinion
of the several thousand women present
at the lecture is that Nine Yale is the
most beautiful woman in the world
In the fourth act Nine. Yale appeared
in an American Beauty rose color ball
gown, with a garniture of Are white
lace and pearls. The artistic Workman
ship of Worth was probably never
shown to greater advantage.
The decOliete cut disclosed a beauti-
full neck and arms. Ropes of pearls
were looped over the cleaning white
shoulders and arranged in lattice-like
design on one entire side of the cor
sage. The long waist effect was de-
fined with the festoOned links of pearls
midway from hip to knee Then there
were other clusters of lace and pearls
scattered over the long, tight-fitting
skirt with charming effect. The skirt
was almost a court affair, and was
handled with bewildering skill. The
discourse in this act was along the
psychological line of beauty culture
the new science by which many women
are prOhting.
