Despite the inclemency of the wealth CT about IS of the younger friends of little Miss Hattie May Osterhout as- sembled at her home on West River street, Monday evening, February 15, to help her celebrate the third anni- versary of her birthday. The evening was passed by giving presents games and dancing, while MT Osterhout gave a number of selections on his grapho- phone, after which a slight repast was served. Miss Haiti e was the recipient of many beautiful gifts, including two pairs of shoes, two pairs ties, one half dozen handkerchlefs, numerous ribbons and nearly everything imaginable which could tend to make little girl happy. Those who attended included the Misses Acton, Misses Mo Govern, Miss Helen Collins, Miss Jennie Spar go, Miss Mary Osmanski and the fol- lowing young gentlemen: Jacob Naase IT,, and Matthew, John Acton, Richard, i Frank and John Collins, John Osman ski. Lukie and Bernard McGovern. Some mention and thanks should be made to the older persons who con- triputed some little mark of esteem, especially Mrs Victor N. Shelton and Mrs Jacob Naase.

played tune after tune to the delight
of the many people that viewed him
with curiosity. Upon entering the
New Phillips theater last night the
audience was surprised to find the
young man still playing. 1t took the
combined efforts of the hypnotist and
two men to keep him away from the
piano, as it seemed as though he had
become fascinated with his own play
ing and wanted to continue with his
inexhaustable supply of ragtime. The
skating number and the minstrel show
were the principal laughing features
and kept the large audience laughing
heartily. Tonight a class of colored
subjects will be invited on the stage
for few tests after which the white
class will hold sway. A bargain mat
inee for the ladies' and children will
be given on Saturday afternoon at
half past two o'clock.

The principal address was made by

Relief Corps and the Grand Army Of
the Republic a high compliment by
stating that these two organizations
were nearer to the hearts of the public
than any other. The place of the vet
eran organization will soon be taken
by the Sons of Veterans. He said that
this organization was rapidly growing
in favor and was doing a good work
here.

rect from Marion, Ind, where they
played to packed houses during their
two weeks engagement After play
ing 10 weeks there this past summer,
the people of Marion and the newspa-
pers praise them to the skies. So

played Is weeks, and so does any 9TH
er community who have been fortu-
nate enough to see these great people
act
Their coming therefore to Rich
mond should merit the patronage of
every theater goer OF our city, for their
prices are within reach of all, and
their plays the equal of any $3.50 New

There are IL members of the COM
pany and they also carry a carload of

play and produce every scene just as
the playwright intended it to be.
Their opening bill will be announced

RADIANT HAIR
New York Society Women's Hair
Matched Only by Parisians

For many years the clever women of
Paris have been famed for the magnifi-
cent beauty Of their hair.
Glorious hair" a Virginian calls it:
so radiant and luxuriant that it not
only attracts but fascinates, and COM
pels unstinted admiration
But now that the elite Of New York,
ever anxious to improve their beauty.
have learned that Partisan Sage. q re-
markable and almost marvellous hair
nourisher and beautifier, is almost en-
tirely responsible for the charming
hair OF the ladies of France, the de-
mand for it has become enormous.
A Philadelphia chemist who analyz-
ed Partisan Sage, said; 1T is the ideal
dressing for the hair. The ingredi-
ents are so scientifically combined that
Partisan Sage is first of all a hair
grower. because it surely destroys
dandruff germs, and nourishes the hair
roots.'
Second, it puts life. substance and
brilliancy into the hair, which I'M
proves the attractiveness of any one'
Third, 1t is very delicately scented !:
is not particle sticky or greasy. and
does not contain one atom of anything
that could possibly injure scalp or
hair"
Partisan Sage is now sold all over
America by progressive druggists, and
in Richmond by l. H. Fihe, who is
glad to guarantee it to eradicate dan
druff, stop falling hair and itching
scalp In two weeks or money back.
Price 80 cents. Made in America by

wind blew at a terrific velocity all
through the day and when persons
were not chasing their hats and caps
they were trying to prevent themselves
from being blown over. OF course
there were those who predicted that
the wind would surely blow a storm in
this direction tomorrow, but the pro-
phecy Of the amateur weather forecast
ers was not very successful, for today
is clear and beautiful and the tempera.
