Rosary" the play of Edward E.
Roses which proved such a big sue
cess last season, is repeating this
year with added brilliancy. While
the central figure is that of Cath
Ollie priest, the character is so drawn
that the question of sectarianism is
not in any way involved. Rev.
Father Brian Kelly is presented as
a man of God, whose greatest
thought is the good he can do for his
tellowman of whatever creed or of
no creed, and Frank Kilday, who fills
the character, seems TO have caught
the authors inspiration in his con-
ception of the role, as the audiences
at the Walnut-street Theater will see
when the production is presented
next week. He plays a keen Irish
sense of humor and good will as
foil to his priestly calling, and thus
Is able to solve the depths of a
domestic tragedy and restore happi-
ness to a home that is near destruc-
ton through the Vaccinations of a
designing villain who seeks revenge
because another has won the woman
he loves. He wantonly brings She
loving wife into disrepute, and also
plots the wrecking of the fortunes OF
his successful rival, who believes
him steadfast friend. II is the Of
lice OF the priest to unravel the
tangle and restore tranquility, per-
tecting a monl that should be wit
messed by everybody. as we'll as
enjoyed. The cast chosen for the
presentation, consisting of Mr..
Kilday, Miss Addie Dougherty, Miss
Helen McCabe, Roy Laidlaw, Eugene
Dautell and others. is a capable one
without exception, and the scenic
equipment OF the production Is beau
tiful as well as effective.

TURKEYS PLENTIFUL.

A newspaper dispatch from Glas-

ern Kentucky Is said to be larger this
year than for many years. and unless
all signs fail the humblest homes can
enjoy THE Thanksgiving turkey. One
reason Is the continued dry weather
this summer. which Is especially 1T
ting for the growing OF these fowls.
and the second Is they have been well
fed and cared for BY the farmers.

TWO GLASSES OF SUITS
FOB WEAR ON STREET.

There are 1.-TWO; classes Of tailor.
made suits for this winter lone TO-,

The plain ,tailor-made is. always
good and holds an Important place in
the scale.
CheY!ots. serges In very ,hne weave
and homespuns are favored. These,
for strictly plain tailored SUITS are tc
be greeted with enthusiasm, for theil
durability Is unq~uestionable and the
materials lend themselves to an,
adaptation OF severe lines.
The coats in the plain styles are
finger length or shorter. For outing
these tailored suits rejoice in many
pockets. The cut Is straight, al.
though slightly more fitted to the
figure than the box cuts Of other
seasons.
For afternoon wear there are sim.
pie velvet and tvelyeteen models. The
material Of these Is sufficiently rich
to give effective style without orna.

Tailored suits fill a niche in fash.

costume can fill. 1t is joyful news tc
women that they are as important as
ever in the program Of changing

Carry Tales or
Gossip il The Office.
Woman WHO Talks Of
Other is Feared and
Disliked.

TN the Office, in the home, in every:
walk Of life, there is one sort Of
person whom we all vote detest-
IDLE. and that Is the ,talebearer.
II We are possessed OF u good dis
position we can put up with the,
%5rouchy. the egotist, the know-it-all,
The shrew; but the man or woman
given to t%ale-bearlng is despised and.
generally feared, /
All of, us have known this sort of
girl. No incident was so insignificant!
no word SO meaningless, that she,
::euld not twist it into something to
give q warped impression.
All tale-bearers, however, are not
81 the same sort, There Is the ma
icious one, who Is probably the most:
lbominable; the. thoughtless girl. the:
chronic .talker, and the one eager to
ireate a sensation. but all manage to
attain the same end-that being the
spreading before the world OF Incl;
dents in lives Of others which had
better been left In secrecy.
Such q girl in the office will at first
be rather popular. for | am afraid
mos. Of us are inclined to gossip. and
her tales have the spice OF scandal.
But after a while her associates be-
gin to see that they themselves are
being taken as objects for the tales,
and then begins the unpopularlty Of
the tell-tale., Z
What is more engaging than to
have ones innermost thought, or
riding action repeated without ones
knowledge? There may be no harm
done In the telling, but who IAN tell
what there might have been? 1t is not
so much the tale; 1t Is the habit, the
principle Of the thing that is OBJ
Iaoxlous.
Girls are quick to single out the
one in their midst who is addicted to
;epeating. They will listen to her
tales. but when a subject or "a friend
Is being discussed, how quickly does
the conversation stop when the tale
bearer. joins the group.
Probably the worst. sort is she who
makes 1t Q point to recount every dis
agreeable criticism. the nasty pin.
pricklng sayings Of one friend to an
other.
Remember a tale loses nothing In
The telling, and what may have been
innocent criticism is distorted into
something which will cause the OBJ
iect pain.
The acquaintance, Of this. type gen
orally sticks closer than a leech and
do what We may we cannot stop the
tales which she pours into our ears.
It Is perhaps natural that once We be-
sin to. listen. Notwithstanding the I'm.
pleasantness we hear, We are tempted
to listen TO more. and yet a little
more.
But whether thoughtless or ma
llc!ous. the habit OF repeating tales
which had better remain untold is
equally !d%etestable, and as a rule in,
the end the tale-bearer is the on
most harmed.
