plays AND PLAYER IN SPOKANEl
ts.SAPHO" AT
THE SPOKANE

The Lawrence & Sandusky play
ers will offer to Spokane theater-
goers for their tenth week Olga
Nethersole's famous play. "Sapho."
Jane Vivian Kelton, the leading
lady OF. the company, will handle
the difficult role made famous by
Miss Nethersole. The actress and
the play are well known. One has
been as widely advertised as the
other. The production makes room
for great portrayal of emotion,
and Miss Kelton takes advantage
of the opportunities. Miss KeltOn
has demonstrated to theatergoers
in Spokane that she is among the
leading opponents of the realistic
school and one of the greatest emo
tional actresses, and she never
fails to arouse a feeling of pity in
what is meant to be pitiful story
of woman endeavoring to leave
her old wicked life.
The play opens with bal
masque thoroughly French, in
which Miss Kelton as Fanny lie
Grande, weary, blase and tired to
death of other men, sees In the
fresh country youth, Jean Gaussin,
one who inspires in her deeper
passion than she has heretofore
known. She makes bold to love
him, and he, not knowing of her
dark past, yields to her blandish-
ments. They leave Paris and go
into the country, he to live in a
fools paradise and she hoping for q
life of new happiness. And-but
see the play.

IMPORTANCE OF SMART FOOT GEAR

allowance is small and she who must
darn her own stockings are to-day wear
ing shoes that have at least one pair of
eyeets through which ribbon can be
tied. The new pumps with large metal
buckles are smart for afternoon wear, but
the buckle must be considerably modified
to be appropriate with short Dress
Patent leather pumps are extremely pref
ty for afternoon and may be adorned
with either a Hat leather buckle or one
of white metal.
Brown shoes are smart to-day with
practically every shade of walking dress,
and are also worn by many girls with
their white frocks throughout the sum
mer. To bring russell shoes to good
color it will repay u girl to clean and
polish them herself. for if carefully
attended to brown tan leather improves
with every polishing. Brown shoes and
stockings really are as much cooler and
more comfortable to wear in hot weather
as their appearance leads one to suppose,
and this year they chance to be excep-
tionally fashionable. A pair of good rus
set pumps are nice to have, but the girl
who does any walking at all will find u
pair of Oxford ties far more serviceable
and infinitely less fatiguing.
For the evening black patent leather
slippers with small rhinestone buckles
are attractive with the most elaborate
party dress If patent leather and even
satin are found uncomfortable for dane
ing, French kid slippers, with pretty satin
rosettes and rhinestone buckles, while not
quite so becoming to the foot, still are
quite in keeping for evening wear Col
ored satin slippers to match the gown are
just at present in favor for all party
dresses. The smart stockings for low
walking shoes are n sheer or medium
weight cotton or Isle thread. Medium
weight silk are prettiest with patent
leather pumps, and for evening plain
sheer silk hose make the accepted foot
gear with either satin or kid slippers.
The stockings and shoes must always be
of one color, and for young girls all
extremes in the stockings and shoes aud
slippers are to be avoided.
The girl who desires to keep strong and
we'll will never run the risk of allowing
her feet to become damp. For tan shoes
tan rubber tips are to be had which are
much more attractive than the black TIPS,
while for the real downpours. storm rub
bers are to be had as well in brown as in
black.

social life of to-day always to follow the
teaching of Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedon
by. Mrs. Bedonebyasy motto is
so generally practised in every question
of social engagements. The fact that the
majority of ones associates are working
on the principle of even give and take
makes it especially hard when planning a
party not to ask only those who are them

ing the friends of whom one is really fond,

because it has not been possible for that
girl to give any dances or luncheons her
self.
To be able to put ones self mentally in
another's place-in other words, to get at
the point of view of another person-is a
rare faculty, but one which leads to
much happiness and popularity, provided
the theory is worked out as the fairy
Observation-Disclosures would do it. This
in brief. is the whole secret of sympathy
and the girl who cultiyates a habit Of
sympathy may well be envied the friends
which will be hers through life.
There is wonderful charm. too in the
sympathetic person, and what girl does

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR 8
THE SCHOOL GIRL Y

Unable of all attributes? 1t is charm
alone which makes the least beautiful
girl attractive and the lack of it which
explains the frequent unpopularity of the
girls of most perfect type and classic
feature. They are said to be cold and
are dubbed self-conscious or at worst
conceited, but really they are lacking in
charm because they have not acquired
sympathy. They are unselhsh, perhaps,
and generous often to fault, but they
do not carry their lavishness to the point
of asking before they give:-"Were | so
situated what would please me most"
Fortunately it is not necessary to be
clever to possess charm. Appearance,
apart from expression, has nothing to do
with it; possessions nor station in life
count not at all. The color of her hair
or Of her eyes was not even noticed, only
that her face was the most charming one
would ever want to see-such is Mrs. Do
asyouwouldbedoneby The girl who
wants TO make an impression upon all
whom she meets can do so far better by
leaving an atmosphere of pleasant feel
ing and a picture of a bright and happy
face than simply a vision of a smart hat
or girl well turned out but adding no
desire for future friendship.

MOTOR GOGGLES A NECESSITY.

The larger the glass piece and the
smaller the leather and metal binding IN
a pair Of motor goggles the better. The
most comfortable glasses to wear are
those having wide single piece of glass
across both eyes, with side glasses on
hinges, TO allow of the goggles being
folded up when not in use. There should
always be Il leather case bought with a
pair of goggles, in which TO keep them
safe when not in actual service.
Goggles at best are scarcely becoming.
but the tan leather binding, matching
the color OF the motor veil and coat, will
look more attractive than a gray or black
leather.
Even though goggles are so unbecom-
ing. they should he worn at all times,
even for short country runs. Especially
while one is young, it does not pay to
take risks with ones eyes, and the rush
ing through the wind, with the comb
nation of the fun glare of the sun, is
bound to be injurious to the eyes An
ounce of prevention in the form of never
motoring without wearing goggles is sure
" worth a pound Of cure in the form Of
DOMINIC spectacles for the rest Of ones
life.

IT HE girl whose foot is small ana
shapely naturally takes every pains
to be we'll shod that this point OF
beauty may be shown to best advantage
How much more important even is it fol-
the girl who must acknowledge to oC Of
larger to have her shoes always smart
and perfectly cared for. 1t is even more
essential, if possible, for young girl who
still wears short dresses upon all occa
sions to have her shoes always neat an9
trim than for her older sister whose skirts
are sufficiently long to somewhat hide the
feet.
Boots and slippers can mark good style
more conspicuously than any other detail
of dress. incidentally they can show VI
the wearer's character most amusingly
There is the high heeled, bright buckled
walking slipper of the girl who really EN-
Joys being conspicuous even at the eX'
pense of good taste. The naturally I'M
tidy and disorderly girl is pretty sure tC
wear boots that would be vastly improved
by polish, are perhaps needful of button
or if it is low shoe the string is very
apt to be united
But delightfully."- characteristic of a GER
tain type of girl is a smart calfskin boo
or oxford tie made with heel of sensible
height for walking and of a last not sc
pointed as to look uncomfortable, nor yet
so square as to be markedly unbecoming
This last style of boot belongs, of course
to the girl who knows that to be really
well dressed the accessories are of utmos
importance. The minor details of dress
must be in keeping with the frock itself
and for every costume there must be
a compromise effected between the ultra
fashionable and the purely comfortable.
The newest walking shoes are mucf
like the oxford ties of few years back
but are cut somewhat lower and, having
but three eyelets, are fastened with rib
bon rather than the wide silk tape. Tips
are seen on the majority of the newest
low walking shoes, but these tips are Of
the same leather as the rest of the shoe
not of patent leather. No fancy beading is
although there may be mar
row band of the beadwork outlining the
tip and bordering the top of the shoe.
Pumps could not be said to have gone
out of fashion, but the average girl whose

This same rule applies to pansies, which
require constant picking, and they should
be cut back after blooming.
Some girls will prefer massing the diff
ferent flowers and others wonld like them
better in combinations or in a kind Of
orderly confusion, like some old fashioned
gardens. One flower that can be used in
ia bed by itself, and yet give the effect
of difference in height is phlox. There
is a variety of tall phlox for the back
ground that will bloom all summer, and
of the low phlox the most beautiful is
a white flower called Miss Lingard
To make good combinations of flowers
takes some experience, and there is always
something new to learn in that line. Here
are some that have been found success
full :-Larkspur and madonna lilies go we'll
together, foxglove and sweet William,
lverbena and stocks, Shirley peoples aud
baby's breath. mignonette and phlOx,
bachelor buttons and candytuft. But
much of the fun of the garden will be
in trying different varieties.
In choosing the flowers for ones garden
it is well to include a liberal number Of
autumn flowers. Many of our lovely
flowers stop blooming with the end of the
summer and our pleasure can be prolonged
by using these later varieties. The chry-
santhemums and asters are the most popu-
lar, but there are also the autumn crocus
and cosmos, japanese anemones, which
shade from white to Carmine, and rose
mallow
Another very good idea is to have one
bed of flowers that have a particularly
sweet scent in the evening, especially il
the garden is near the house, so one can
enjoy them when sitting on the porch on
summer evenings. The tobacco plant has
a most delicious perfume at night, and
there are also evening primrose, night
scented stocks, blue yerbena and petunia.

face of the paths we reach a point where
there is a wide variety of choice and va
rious questions are to be considered, the
most important being that of expense. The
surface covering may be of gravel, bricks,
cinders or the finest quality of bluestone.
Any one of these will make a good path,
but, if economy is not necessary the best
of all will be fine bricks laid in herringbone
style. They are expensive, but do GER
tainly make most satisfactory paths. A
girl who finds that the bricks will cost so
much that she will be obliged to economic
on her plants will perhaps find it better
to use one of the other materials.
When the paths are finished each gar

bricks laid on edge and bedded in con-
