plies to the creation of styles for the.
atrical productions. One of the latest
examples of the male manner" is an
altogether CONFUSING farce by Clyde
Fitch called The Blue Mouse, which
comes to the Norfolk Auditorium Tues.
day night. Mr., Fitch seldom fails to
give us prettily gowned women and
his latest play is not an exception.
He begins his riot Of new.fangled
styles with "The Blue Mouse" herself
Mr., Fitch had fairly definite ideas Of
what the character "A dancer, should
wear, but he frankly expressed his i'm.
ability to properly clothe the young
person. This was not due to the fact
that THE Blue Mouse" dances in the
play but that Mr. Fitch is not a de-
signer.
Melville Ellis, who has been seen in
vaudeville in pianologue, came to
the rescue, and has designed every
costume seen in the play. This, how
ever, was not his first experience.
For several seasons Mr.. Ellis has trav.
eled abroad for the purpose OF absorb
ing French ideas of dress In order to
incorporate the newest and prettiest
effects in designs for the American
stage. Three seasons ago he designed
stunning gown for Louise Cunning,
the actress and in some way the fact
leaked out. One of the largest and
most fashionable dry goods firms of
Manhattan thereupon made Mr. Ellis
an offer to become sort of consulting
designer and, ever since, he has acted
in this capacity.
For The Blue Mouse" Mr.. Ellis has
created several styles that will not be
displayed by this New York firm until
next year. This style is shown in a
gown worn by Miss Gertrude Hitz. 1t
is gown of pale blue cloth. The tiny
V-shaped yoke is of net and the collar
shows a touch of pale blue in a small
bow at the front. The gown is cut
under both arms, and all the way
down both sides of the skirt is a line
of satin covered buttons and braid
loops. The plain, long sleeve is piped
and buttoned from wrist to elbow.
The skirt is very plail,

FIRE IN RUBBISH HEAP.
Gasoline Stove Starts Blaze That
keeps Ejremen GUESSING Some,

A gasoline stove which exploded at
10 o'clock Sunday morning in the Fred
Phillips home, 100 South First street,
and threatened for a time to set fire
to the house, gave the Norfolk fire de-
partment three hours of strenuous
work early Monday morning when it
was discovered that the burning gaso-
line, which had been thrown on top of
the river embankment Immediately
south of the pumping station, had
started serious fire among heaps Of
rubbish thrown there.
Recently the city had ordered much
rock and stone thrown on top of this
refuse pile, and, being so well COW
cred. it gave Fire Chiefs Green and
Nenow much concern as to how the
fire could be extinguished.
Immediately after the gasoline stove
had exploded in the Phillips home,
Mr.. Phillips, with the aid of Engineer
Christian Of the pumping station, car
ried out the stove covered with burn
ing gasoline and threw it over the en-
bankment. Mr.. Phillips received slight
burns about the hands.
Early Monday morning the smoke
from the burning rubbish was so dense
and took on such serious aspect that
Fire Chief Green caused the fire sig
nal to be sounded. One stream of wa
ter was kept going on the rocks on
which the firemen scrambled, endeav-
oring to discover the fire.
President A. W. Finkhouse OF hose
company No. 3 became suddenly i'll
while at work at the nozzle and later
found it necessary to go home. The
fire was not pronounced extinguished
until after 8 o'clock. The firemen
commenced work before Z.

Game Fish Into River.

Looking as happy as a school boy at
the beginning of his annual vacation,
Governor G. II. Aldrich stopped off in
Norfolk Saturday afternoon for about
fifteen minutes. The governor was en-
route to Valentine, where he will
spend few days fishing. The gov
ernor is the guest of deputy fish War
dens Miller and Clarkson and was &C
companied by w. j. O'Brien, the fish
expert Deputy game Warden A. F.
Stearns and Burt Mapes met the fish
car at the Junction and after receiv-
ing can of fine bass, containing
about seventy-five fish, and four cans
of catfish, containing from fifty to sew
enty-five fish each, the Norfolk men
were given permission to place hoop
net below the mill dam and transfer
all game fish to the upper part of the
river. With this permission Norfolk
sportsmen believe the upper part of
the Northfork, which has proven a
failure as far as fishing is concerned,
will soon afford some fine sport. The
fish were deposited near the Country
club house and north of the club
grounds.
w. L.. Bowling of Madison had a
conference with the governor on i'm
portant matters, but what the subject
of this conference was Mr.. Bowling
did not divulge to friends.

luncheon when visited by the Norfolk
men, and from an inspection of the
car, it was easily seen that the gov
ernor is faring very well. The car is
well equipped and affords much COM
