The Box Office Attaches of Local
Theaters Plan Novel Event

For many years the theaterSoing

hox Office attaches of the various thea-

qualifications of being able to dig out
any number of aisle seats after the

A mistake, pure and simple. Inc loS
Angeles contingent of the money end

are human-intensely so-and Withal

arc even more polite and solicltous for
the pleasure of others than even a
crossing policeman.
They arc of that class who never ask
favors, but are always ready and Will
ing to confer one and then repeat the
dose.
The boys now purpose to give their
friends an evening of unalloyed pleas
ure on the date of January 20--the date
of their first ball, which will be given

The occasion will be notable on account

the women prefer the same girl to
always do their work, whether

The new play called "Chantl-
cloer' has already produced a new
fashion in hats. 1t is called the
birds nest The crown of the hat
is so fashioned that it looks like a
nest, and bird is placed upon the
nest, which makes it very real.
There is a delightful fashion at
the present time for long, oval and
round shaped bags hung on old
silver frames and suspended low
from the arm by heavy corded silk
handles, trimmed with tassels and
tied knots. They, of course, are
only carried in the afternoon and
evening.
The new yol1es for waists this
season will be made Of straight
bands of tulle, chiffon or embroid-
cred net, and simply drawn on a
shirring thread around the neck
and again where they are attached
to the yoke of the blouse. This Is
an old-time fashion revived.
Have you seen the new open
peek-a-boo shoe for evening wear?
They surely are smart, One OF our
leading shoe houses has them on
display. These shoes call for beau
tiful hosiery.
The new sashcs are so pretty and
mystifying that they do not seem
to be sashes at all, for they seem
to flow from any place but the
waist line.
A pretty style coming into use is
the tiny frills of tulle or net which
will be much worn instead of the
standing collars.
Transparent evening wraps arc
creating quite a furore over in
Paris. When viii they strike Los
Angeles? is the question.
The small hat is edginG its way
into fashion. This spring will bring
them forth in all their glory.
The new velvets are rag-lilze in
limpness and are as soft and sup
pie as chiffon.
Almost every gown today has a
finishing of piping which is ex-
tremely fashionable.

Art Notes
BY ELIZABETH wAGGoNER

T HE collection of old masters now
being shown at the Blanchard
gallery affords an opportunity.
unusual in this part of the world, for
study of these paintings OF the class so
cherished by collectors. The collection
includes paintings of as early date as
THE Holy Family" by Quentin Matsys,
and a supposed Durer is also shown,
but the greater number are by the mas
ters of the seventeenth century, ceveral
examples of the Dutch and Flemish
art of this PERIOD and number by the
so-called lesser great men" of the
Spanish and Italian schools.
1t is rumored that the panel of Quen-
tin. Matsys is destined for the Metro
politan Museum of Art, for it is proper
ly d museum piece. Fine as it is as an
example. of the work of this master,
it hardly arouses the longing that does
that beautiful canvas by Gueveino,
The Trinity" Both this and the Guido
Reni Assumption Of the Blessed Vir-
gin" would seem a never-failing de-
light to their possessors.
Durer is so much better known to us
as an engraver than a painter that it
would not be an easy matter for the
unknoWing to judge of the authenticity
of the painting, but it has much of the
dignity and impressiveness we like to
associate with the name of Durer The
Witch,' by David Teniers the younger,
is interesting as an example of this
painters famous incarnation scenes,
executed with his remarkable facility.
The "Allegorical Portrait" by Do
menico Zampieri, is so like the classic
al portraits by Guido Reni that it is
not difficult to trace the influence of
the Caracci in the art of both men.
Salvador Rosa's Forest of 'Philoso-
piers is an excellent illustration of
his love of introducing many figures
into his landscape compositions. His
influence on landscape art all over the
world is evidenced by two canvases
hung on the same wall, classical con-
vcntonal landscape-if not from his
brush, at least strongly Influenced by
him

The sudden death of Warren T.
Hedges Monday came as a shock to his
many friends among the artists Of
Los Angeles and the pupils of the Arc
Students league. For three years this
talented young artist has been at the
head of this school and has become
widely known as a teacher and Illus
traitor. The only son of DR., and Mrs.
Hedges Of Pasadena, he took up his
work here after several years of study
i'm New York, at tho Art students
league, and under Chase, Henri and
Du Mond. He was able to bring to
the pupils under his direction both
technical ability and the qualities that
make a successful teacher.
In his death the Art Students league
has suffered a great loss. He was not
only the instructor but the close per
sonal friend of all his students, ana
through his sympathetic and loVable
qualities of character was enabled 10
get in close touch with his pupils ana
to better appreciate their needs ana
ambitions Always cheerful and optl-
mistic. he had formed large ac-
ouaintance in Los Angeles art circles
and will be deeply and sincerely
mourned. He inspired his students to
work with a will and with a definite
goal and his labors i'm Los Angeles
have made distinct impression on art
education and on local art. His lnflu-
ence as we'll as his memory VIII be

Rustici Shows Strength

The strength and beauty of "The
Holy Family" by Francisco Rustici,
makes us wonder what place this artist
would occupy in the world had his life
not been such a short one. The saint
Sebastian of the school of carlo Dolci
has so much of the grace and smooth
ness we find in the work of Dolci him
self that were it not for the fact that he
so rarely made his Canvases life size
this canvas might well be attributed to
the master. The PORTRAIT of Lady,
by Francois Hubert Dronais, is espe-
cially interesting as belonging to diff
ferent school than any other of the
canvases shown. The panel said to be
Rubens, perhaps the sketch for a
great painting to adOrn some cathedral,
is most interesting study to those
familiar with the work of Rubcns. Some
say the fair hair of one figure could
have been painted in that way by no
one else. others that the treatment of
the hands is strongly characteristic
of this master; and this it is that

WOMAN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Mrs Daisy Kennedy of Lake Cit!
Takes Dose ofLaudanum.

Lake City. October i9:-Mrs Daisy
Kennedy a respectable white woman
of this town, attempted suicide last
night. She took two ounces of lauda-
mum. Medical aid was summoned as
soon as the attempt was discovered,
which was within a few moments.
By close attention and the use of
proper antidotes fatal results were
averted, but it was several hours af-
ter-the deadly draught was taken
before she was out of danger.
Mrs Kennedy, who is the wife of
Mr. ] E Kennedy, has been in bad
health for several months, and it is
also said that family relations were
not altogether pleasant--in fact she
and her husband have been living
apart for several weeks. 1t is the
general impression that her mind
has become disturbed by brooding
over her family troubles, and that it
was in a fit of dependency, amount
ing to insanity, that she attempted to
end it all.
She is a daughter of Mr. Joel z
Philips, who is a respected citizen.
Her first husband was H c Goodwin,
who was magistrate at this place a
few years ago.
Mrs Kennedy has three children.
Last night MIR S T Goodwin went
to Florence to take in Tom Dix
on's play. While he was away MIR
Willie Belk took away" Mr. God
wins daughter, Miss Eva Goodwin.
The young folks walked off, had the
Rev Mr. Boney to marry them and
took the south-bound train at 9
o'clock. When Mr. Goodwin returned
they were far away.
