WASHINGTON, March 12.-The
Hierarchy of "Washington's 400 may
be revealed when Mr.. Mary Z. Gage.
wealthy widow and resident in ex.
elusive Du Pont Circle, begins her
fight before an insanity jury within
the next few days.
This was indicated here today when
Miss Margaret Gage, her daughter, In

the life of Charles J. Bell. president

her mother. would be resisted bitterly
and that Mrs. Cages detention at st.

walton was part of sinister plot"
Wilbur A. Mott, prosecuting attor-
ney at Newark, N. j., and brother to
Mrs. Gage, arrived here today to aid
the woman. He absolutely refused
to discuss the case until he had in
fvestigated Mrs. Cages arrest. Habeas

My Dear Daughter was very glad
to get your first long letter after the
birth OF your baby as 1t told me you
were getting well fast. All that you
said about your bliss and RESPONSE
bility were answered from my heart.
Undoubtedly, during the first few
weeks after the birth of her first
born the average woman INDUCES In
more day dreams than she ever has
before, OF ever will again. Not even
the first kiss of her lover awakened
the Joy she feels as that little head
reposes on her breast. Then II Is
that she makes the plan of her baby's
life beautiful story, and 1t Is unfor-
tunate that In most cases her ener-
giles and practical knowledge are not
equal To carrying IL out.
II Is very probable that IL a young
woman realized the responsibility en-
tailed In bringing up children proper
~ there would be even fewer births
than there are now.
II Is really a miracle that so many
girls do scramble up and attain radi-
ant womanhood with very little care
for their physical needs, mental APP
petites, and spiritual advancement
In the progression OF the race,
nature knows but one universal law
propagation. II Is the same law which
works inevitably in everything that
lives. However, man being endowed
with powers above those OF any other
animate thing, certain particular OBJ
legations are placed upon women
vhan they become mothers and
because they have performed
these obligations In a more or less
satisfactory manner for countless
ages. their offspring come into the
world more dependent upon them for
life and sustenance than the offspring
of any other animal.
A woman should look to the physi-
cal needs of her child first OF all, and
there are many details pertaining to
fresh air. clothing and bathing which

threering circus of entertainment
and two optics are unequal to the

In the midst Of the gorgeousness,
the glitter and color Is Valeska
Suratt, a young woman with q partic-
uiar talent for keeping herself in the
center of the spotlight, on or on the
stage. Miss Suratt is big girl, too,
a strapping sort OF a woman with an
immense amount of vitality and gen.
erous physical charms. A few yards
of cliLging silken and satiny stuffs,
in combinations OF hues that look
like the impressionistic school on a
riot, all fashioned with the greatest
skill and cunning OF the modiste,
form Miss Suratts stage wardrobe.
She has change OF costume for

MILES,.


The bill IN the Miles theater this
week presents goodly number OF
attractive features, well appreciated
by large audiences. The headline
act is 1.-The Flying Dreadnaught,"
musical comedy boiled down to 20
minutes of fun. Four winsome girls
compose the chorus, there are sew
eral novel singing and dancing
features, while the airship, bound
from Coney Island to the north pole,
sails merrily along. Schultz" who
is taking the party to the north. and
who, by the way, might be mistaken
for Adolph, Osgar's friend, SENDS
forth many shafts Of wit from his
airy perch. One striking part OF this
act is when graceful young woman
seated below a parachute sails back
and forth across the stage, singing
catchy song. Five women and three
men compose the company
Charles Howe, Miss Belle Speare,
a former Detroit girl, and FREDERICK
II. Speare present the p1aylet "A
Broken Heart" This act was well
received and applauded by the audi
ence. although critics might find II
bit disconnected and abrupt In spots.
One of the best acrobatic comedy
ling acts that has been seen here
in lcng while is that put on by r.
f. Bladder and Ed Gordon, assisted
by Violet LaVelle. They do some
sensational work on the bicycle, while
the slap-stick comedy part rounds
out their act in good shape.
Jessie Bell has singing oddlty

Seated airily on a globe as 1t sails

immensely. II was also her initial

ELLA MAE HAWTHORNE
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

"A Fool There Was" In which Rob-
ert billiard is appearing In tho De-
troit opera house this week. has
some mighty unpleasant things to
carry to the audience, and they are
carried over the footlights in all their
force from the first meeting OF the
Fool with the alluring vampire on
the steamer deck, to the last horrible
shrek when she finds her work OF de-
struction completed.
Robert Hilliard and his company,
especially Alphonz Either, as the
friend, and Edna Conroy, as the wom-
an, get all there is in the play into
their acting. Miss Conroy came on
from New York to take the part, Mou-
day night, on account OF the serious
illness of Miss Virginia Pearson. She
was thoroughly at home in 1t, how
ever, as she played the part In the
original New York company.
AS for the play itself, ii Is hard to
look upon Ii as more than a sordid
tragedy, the kind OF tragedy that is
too often found in the daily grind OF
the divorce courts. 1t Is a play that
finds little justification even on the
broad ground Of pointing a wholesome
moral 1t Is study in the morbid,
in a perversion of the normal human
emotions. and II Is question whether
all the admonitory power Of the play
is not lost for the very reason that
1t is abnormal. II is powerful and
dramatic to be sure, but futile.
There are perhaps men who leave
homes as full Of sweetness and love
as the home of the Honorable John
Schuyler under the temptation OF a
vampire woman. they are hot
the men who enjoy that domesticity,
the love Of wife and child. as John
Schuyler does in the first act. The
taste for vampires has to be culti-
waited. The insidious appeal OF the
broad highway strewn with crimson
roses and leading to everlasting de-
struction, lies in the very gentle slope
of the first portion of the journey. 1t
is a broad, pleasant highway, not
rut.
The only real justification for the
play is the opportunity that II gives
for some splendid acting Robert hill.
