the WeIl-kuOWn play. Camille" Vio-
lctta, the heroine Of the opera. Is the
Marguerite Gauthier of the drama. In
the opening scene We find her sur

their lives to pleasure. Among the thr0ng
is Alfred GermOnt. a young man, who
becomes seriously enamored with Vio-
letta. Touched by the sincerity OF his
passion. she yields 10 its influence,
new and pure love springs up in her
heart, and for the first time she becomes
conscious Of the misery of her position
and the hollowness Of the pleasures IN
which she has basked.
In the second act we discover her liv-
ing in seclusion with her lover in a
country house near Paris, three months
after the events narrated I'm the preced-

that Violetta has been selling her house
and property in Paris, IN order to mai l.

lovers sake. and returns alone 10 Paris,

Next we find Violetta in the hotel Of

Baron Duphol and being unaware Of
the generous motive which made her

broken, the unfortunate Violetta returns

IN the last act we find the sad romance
of Violetta's life drawing TO its close.
Alfred, too late. learns the truth. and
discovers the sacrifice she has made 20

grief and shame he hastens, with his

Cold Cream Good for the Skin.

There are few women who can go

TO soak in When applied frequently a
little will go a long way. and the merest
touch Of grease will smooth a chapped
surface. without penetrating so deep as
to run risk of making a growth of su-
perfluous hair.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

There IS unnecessary newspaper space
devoted 10 the details of feminine ap-
parel, for fashions change so quickly
that absurdites can be safely left TO
their fate. Just now we are hearing
good deal about frocks which fasten in
the back, and lOng-suffering husbands
are complaining. Well, the style will
change as do all styles. good and bad,
and the husbands will forget their woes
If they have any, which I doubt, and
know host of meh who are doing duty
as wlfe's assistant.
In the first place, a man who COM
plains in this matter has no sense OF
gratitude. He never repays the unceas-
ing care Of a devoted wife, no matter
how hard he tries Who looks after his
clothes, pray? There are wives who put
in shirts all the buttons that the owners
wear. who lay out fresh underwear, and
choose neckties and pins for men who
appear to be as helpless as babies. There
are wives who trail along behind the
men they love, picking up articles which
have been carelessly dropped, and doing
it as a part of the DAYS duty. Why
should not the men discharge their debt
OF obligation by doing similar service?
II may seem strange to croakers 10
learn that there are men who are glad
10 be useful at home, who think the pres
ent mode in frocks is all right, and are
not looking forward 10 the day when
women can dress without assistance. It
IS not hard to find men who select wear
ing apparel for the women of their house
hold and give entire satisfaction TO the
weaTers. They admire weil-dressed
women and not only say so in words,
but by acts, ana their condemnation OF
the churlish man who fusses over the
bringing together OF a few hooks and
eyes is strong enough to suit our sex.
