Caring For
The Nails

A Scotch saying is a man had better
never been born than have his nails on
Sunday shorn. We know the old for
mula that we cut them on Monday for
health, on Tuesday for wealth. on
Wednesday for a letter. on Thursday
for something better, on Friday for a
wife, on Saturday for long life and on
Sunday you cut them for evil, as all
that week you will be ruled by the
devil.
Nails are supposed to grow the thfr-
ty-second part of an inch in week, an
inch and a half in a year. The nails
of the thumb and little finger grow the
most slowly, the middle finger grows
the quickest. They grow quicker in
summer than winter, those of the right
hand quicker than the left and four
times as quickly as the toe nails. Ill
ness and grief affect the nails.
People with broad nails have gentle,
tirnid, bashful natures those with mar
row nails are said to be ambitious and
cuarrelsome. small nails indicate lit
tleness of mind and conceit, round nails
come to lovers of knowledge, white
marks augur indigestion.
Lemon juice makes nails smooth and
removes stains. Have lemon juice and
salt on the washstand and dip the fin
ger and rub cold cream into the Gu
ticles at night.
To keep the nails in good condition
the scarf skin round the nail should be
pushed back daily with a proper in
strument for the purpose. Before cut
ting the nails it is a good plan always
to hold them for a few moments in
soapy water to which a little tincture
of benzoin has been added. This sof-
tens the nail and greatly facilitates the
operation, besides rendering more easy
the subsequent smoothing and polish

most little girls prefer the jolly little

tive when made like the one in the ap-
pended illustration. This apron is of
ecru linen and has little elbow sleeves
as well as two deep pockets in which
little milady may stow away treasures
such as beads. pebbles and candies.
The figures are in green and red. and

Theatre, New York. for over two
hundred consecutive performances and
was conceded the greatest success
among serious dramas produced last
season, comes to the Colonial Theatre
tonight under the management of The
Authors Producing Company, of which
John Cort is President.
In this play the defsulter's act is
not condoned in spite Of the fact that
he is made lovable. The methods of
bank hooters are barred and the folly of
crime in business is distinctly shown
in the personal abasement that comes
to each participant. The great point
Of interest is the coming together OF
the defaulter and the wife of the at
torney for the prosecution, who for
merly had been lovers and had been
thrown apart through circumstances.
Thus. it is not primarily a drama OF
moral purposes, although that pur.
pose is not absent but one of senti.
ment. In other words, the sentimen'
tai situation is not unfamiliar. but
the circumstances and the treatment
are.
An associate in the criminal actor
had weakened and had turned ovel

such nature that she, in her indig

THE PINK LADY"
Opening Attraction at The Academy
Of Music, Baltimore, Sept. 3U-
Story of The Play.

Messrs. Klaw G. Erlanger will pre-
sent THE Pink Lady" at the Aead-
emy of Music, Baltimore, on Satur.
day night. September so, where 1t VIII
continue throughout the following
week, with the usual "Wednesday anu
Saturday matinees.
1t is necessary scarcely to say that
this will be one of the most import
ant theatrical events of the year IN
Baltimore. for The Pink Lady,
which has been crowding the New
Amsterdam Theatre in New York for
the past eight months, is already
known to theatregoers as perhaps
the best musical comedy in a decade.
Ii will be presented in Baltimore
with a notable cast and a complete
production.
1t will be recalled that The Pink
Lady, has for the author of its book
and lyrics, c. NJ. S. Mcclellan, who
wrote THE Belle of New York and
Leah Kleschna," while the rarely
beautiful score has been composed by
Ivan Caryll, musical director of the
Gaiety Theatre, London. and the COM
poser of 1.-The Spring Chicken, : The
Toreador, - 1.-The Duchess of Dantzg
and 1.-The Runaway Girl.
The three acts of the play show a
restaurant in the forest of Com
peigne; the shop of a dealer in an
tiques and the Satyr's Ball in Paris.
Claudine, the lady in pink, is a beau
tiful young woman, who attracts a
young man who happens to be engaged
to a sweet young girl. He meets the
charmer at rural restaurant for a
farewell luncheon. The young man S
fancee, as luck would have il, appears
at the same restaurant accompanied
by rival for her hand and her cousin.
The rival appreciates the awkward
situation in which the young man is
placed and strives to make thin gs
worse for him.
The young man invents a story in
volving one Dondidier, a veritable
satyr, who has kissed all the pretty
girls in the neighborhood, and the
lady in pink, to back him up, says
that she is the wife and emissary of
Dondidier. 1t turns out there is a
real Dondidier, a respectable antique
dealer of Paris, and thither all the
characters repair in the second act.
Naturally Dondidier is involved in all
sorts of embarrassments, but in the
third act, showing the Nymps and
Satyrs ball, all ends merrily. The
music of 1.-The Pink Lady" is delight
full an the situations novel.

Yesterday brought to a close the Off

and as soon as it passes that point
summer is no more-that is, on the

A HEART PLAY.
"The Old Homestead AT The Colonial
Theatre Monday, Sept. Is.

Like the breath of real country air,
laden with the odor of new mown
hay and suggesting blue skies and
open stretches of country, "The
Old Homestead" comes to the Colo
NAL Theatre Monday, September 25.
That the patronage will be large
goes without saying, for, although
this will be the twenty-sixth season
of ''The Old Homestead" it is still
a potent magnet and bids fair to
continue so for many years to come.
The play itself is as familiar to the
majority of theatregoers as a house
hold word. For that reason no de-
scription of it is necessary and all
that needs to be said is that there is
no purer, sweat ter or more wholesome
play in existence, none which holds
the mirror up to nature more truly,
and none which has more real inspi-
alton in it's every line and feature,
than 1.-The Old Homestead" 1t is
simple of plot, deals with homely in
teest and is replete with genuine
humor.
Sunshine and shadow, laughter and
tears, humor and pathos-these are
the inevitable associates of "The Old
Homestead. 1t makes a direct and
Irresistible appeal to the human heart,
for it breaches a sermon of faith,
hope and charity. No one seeing it
was ever at loss to explain its per-
ennial popularity. There never was a
more beautiful portrayal of home
life more tender picture of parental
love, than is shown in this particular
