have held her audience in the same
thraH of wonder, admiration and expec-
fancy that she did in Henri Bernstein's s
-.Eaccaret,' presented for the first time
in Washington at the BelascO Theater

From the moment she entered the
stage until the end of the third act
Madam oily held all spellbound by her
marvellous portrayal Of a woman's love
for a man Though the love was Illicit,
she engaged sympathy and commanded
respect for that love by her hnesse and
delicacy and splendid emotional acting.
As Helene. Countess Brechebel. whose
father had married her TO a colorless
and stupid nObleman. she was unhappy
until She met Robert De Clavignon, an
arfstocratiC gambler. She fairly thrusts
her love upon him and when he loses

A Night at the LaureIs.

I slept most of the way to Cresson to the disgust of the little detective Finally he struck up an acquaintance way home to his convent school, armed with a roll of dance music and sur reptitious bundles that looked like boxes of candy. From scraps of con versation I gleaned that there had been mysterious occurrences at the convent ending in the theft of what the reverend father called vaguely "a quantity of undermuslins I dropped asleep at that point and when I reused 8 few moments later the conversation had progressed Hotehkiss had a dia gram on an envelope.

Ten cents worth of formaldehyde will last an ordinary family all the summer. It has no offensive smell, is fatal to disease organisms. and is practically nonpoisonous except to insects. Pyrenthrum powder which may be bought at any drug store, burned in the house, will also kill the flies.
