The Flirting Princess" appear
ed at the Tacoma theater last
night and fair sized audience en-
ioyed 1t. The fact that they en-
toyed it was mostly because II
was musical and full of pretty
girls. The girls were real pretty
and there were lots of them, also
they had great variety of
clothes which they put on and off
with the precision of an all star
group of quick change artists.
Harry Bulgar, the funny man

his trade and was applauded till
he answered with a curtain

States That Partisan Sage Is Best
Hair Tonic.

81 had a bad case of dandruff.
Ny scalp was full of dandruff and
it came out thick and scaly. My
hair came out badly; often /
nearly cried ON account of losing
my pretty head of hair.
/ heard of PARTISAN SAGE and
only had to use two bottles, before
the hair stopped coming out, the
scalp became clean and all the
dandruff disappeared. The hair
became silky and one big reason
that l liked PARTISAN SAGE was
that it kept the hair smooth, silky,
and clean with no traces of stick
mess.
| believe this tonic to be the
best on the market as there has
been no return of dandruff, or
hair falling out whatever. l am
glad to publicly endorse the use
of PARTISAN SAGE. l have often
endorsed it's use and am glad to
do it." 33 Il. Bond ST., Cory, Pa.

great play, to be offered
at the Tacoma Wednesday, re-
mains the public benefactor that
it was recognized to be on its pre-
mier over a year ago. The play
not only entertains it's hearers,
but it instructs the larger por-
ton of it's patrons in a harmful
police practice of great interest
to the commonwealth. The inter
ested attitude of the majority OF
the audience toward "the third de-
gree" scene tends to indicate how
few really are familiar with that
method of police inquiry laid bare
by the author of the play.

under the machine foot and the hight

A small needle and fine cotton
should be used and the tension OF
the upper and shuttle thread made
loose and the stitch made as long as
possible. The presser foot should not
be lowered, so that the work can be
done back and forth without turning
the hoop at each row. Starting
parallel with the thread OF the linen,
a row of stitching Is made along the
edge of the hole of the opposite side.
then back to the starting place. sew
Ing across the hole, just as II the
material were there. A small space
should be left between rows. After
the lengthwise rows are finished. the
ring should be turned and the cross
wise rows put in, running back and
forth, so as to have an irregular out
line around the edges and bringing
the rows OF stitching close together.
If the hole is too large to be COW
cred with machine stitching. a piece
cut from an old napkin may be used
to mend the cloth. The table cloth Is
put over the loop in the same way
as 1t would If the cloth were to be
darned with stitching. then the piece.
which should be cut larger than the
hole, is basted on the wrong side Of
the material over the hole, without
turning in the edges. The stitching Is
done back and forth over the raw
edges.
