Souvenir Hunters Steal the Silver

I the souvenir collection of many Amer.
lean homes there soon may be hidden
a piece of silverware or china, worth
but little intrinsically, but highly
priced because 1t came from the capt.
toll Of the United States. Therefore
the walters will have to be on the
alert. Not that those who may dine
in the senate restaurant are really bad
folks, but simply because it's human
to gather mementos and especially me-
mentos that belong to Uncle Sam.
Every taxpayer feels that he's paid for
the little old thing thousand times
over, anyway.
In addition to the supply of new
silver the senate restaurant also
boasts of the installation of telauto-
graph. an instrument that writes at
long distance. No longer will it be
necessary for the waiter to yell Draw
one" down an imitation silver tube.
The order will be written in the res
taurant room above and at the same
time it will be reproduced by the tel
autograph down where the chef holds
sway.
The telautograph, however, is fast
ened down. It's not in the danger that
besets the new silverware today.

MERELY AS A BUSINESS"
Actors Love-Making Farce, and
Stage Lovers Often Are
Bitter Enemies.

Chicago.-In the course of an inter.
.sting article on stage love-making an
actor who has been the stage lover of
most of Americas most famous ac-
tresses says: Il must make one more
pin prick in the old bubble surround
Ing the idea that players in doing
love scenes actually feel any of the
emotions they portray. Strange as it
may seem, many persons still believe
that stage couples invariably fall
deeply in love with each other after
playing love scenes together This is
an old, old fallacy and in all my stage
career 1 remember only two instances
of this sort
Everything that is done on the
stage outside of the speaking of lines
comes under the head of business
An actor walks across the Stage, an
other lights a cigarette, an actress
throws her arms around another play
er's neck and kisses him fondly-all
this Is business and amounts to just
what that word expresses. The play
ers are paid to do just what stage
manager tells them to do and whether
it be stabbing or kissing 1t is gone
through in exactly the same imper>
sonal manner. The actors feelings
when he embraces the leading lady
are the same as if he were tying his

ONE COLOR IDEA ABANDONED
Fashions Latest Fancy at Least
Makes 1t Easy to Remodel Slightly
Worn Gowns.

The fashions have never been SO
amenable to remodeling as they are at
present They have got barely over
that old idea of theirs that dress had
to be made almost entirely OF one
material and quite entirely OF one
color.
1t is considered very smart this sea
son to use two or three materials and
several colors in one gown. When |
was abroad a short time ago ! saw
practically no monotone dresses. and
the smartest frocks that were worn
at the race meets and restaurants
were always party-colored affairs that
looked most attractive after the long
run of the one-color idea.
So If you haven't enough material In
the dress you want to make over, or
II part of it is worn or soiled, you can
combine 1t with some other material
and it will not only freshen 1t beyond
recognition, but it will make it much
better style than it would be II 1t had
been made all Of one material. That
is encouraging, isn't It? You can veil
a half-shabby silk or satin dress with
chiffon, net, marquisette, silk wolfe or
half a dozen other pretty things. You
can combine a check, plaid or striped
material with a plain color. matching
one Of the colors in the plaid. etc. You
can use two materials OF the same
color, two weights of the same mate
rial; you can combine two different
colors or two tones of the same color,
or you can use two or three different
kinds of materials and several totally
unrelated colors, if you care to. You
see you can do practically anything
so long as 1t is a little different from
anything you have done before-Ex-
change.

Where the Money Goes.

New York.-Hair ornaments are

Europe, where she fitted out two
daughters for the social season. She
asserts that gowns, even lingerie Of
silk, fine linen outer wraps and hats,
are much less costly than for several
seasons, but alas! for slippers. hair
ornaments and the minor, accessories.
Real gems and genuine gold and sill
yer are lavishly used in the half

ers. Slippers have golden buckles
sparkling with jewels, and the girl
who goes out at all must possess a
good half-dozen pairs.

Simple Cause of Panic.

An umbrella caused a panic in the
Church of the Sacred Heart in Mont
martre. France, the other night. The
beadle found the umbrella had curl
ously large knob on the handle-and
saw that the knob unscrewed. He
opened it, then put the umbrella down
with the utmost care, and rushed out
of the church. shouting, Fire, muir
der, dynamite, bomb!" The con-
gregation dispersed quickly, giving
the umbrella wide berth. The police
arrived, telephoned for a water cart,
put the umbrella carefully into it, and
took it to the municipal laboratory.
There is was examined The hollow
knob on the handle contained packet
of needles, a bobbin of red silk, and q
silver bottle of holy water.

Ubiquitous Vanity Box.

The modern girl is SO given over to
the use of the powder puff, and it is
concealed in such odd and unexpected
places, that one is never surprised at
stumbling upon 1t hidden somewhere.

But the latest place of concealment

plaque is the size of small open
