House Next Door PoIi Attraction
 All Next Week

 t'The House Next Door,, a comedy in three acts will be the offering cfl the PoIi Players next week. Written by Hartley Manners and used as a starring vehicle for two seasons by J. E.. Dodson it was secured by MT. Poli for exclusive use of his house during the summer months, and will be produced with all the wealth of detail with which the name of Poli has become identified. The play deals with the question of race prejudice but is handled so clever1y that it is constant source of amusement rath-' CT than offensive in any way. Brief .ly the story is this: Sir John Cotfs- wold an impoverished nobleman has been forced to mortgage his estate next door to a Jew whose father was the chair member of the Cottswold through his own ability had been ber nighted by the king and recognized as, a power in the affairs of the state. Both families have two sons and two daughters who are in love with one another but Sir John Cottswold be- ing of the old school objects to any intermarriage with the family of Sir Isaac Jacobson. He has bought the mortgage and all the art treasures which Sir John was compelled to put up as security and moved to the house next door All of this tended to en- rage Sir John the more. His son has become a great opera singer and after the first concert rat home is offered one hundred pounds by Mrs. Jacobson to sing atea Sunday night concert she. is to give This letter falls into the hands of Sir John and not realizing their financial standing he goes to the house next door to berate them for their insult to his son by offering him money Shortly after this he learns, but not through Sir Isaac. that he is in his debt to the extent of six months, rent and that if it hadn't been for Sir Isaac that his son would not have been able to complete his ed- ucation. It is then that light conn
 mences to break through and he won ders if he has not been wrong. The play is built up beautifully and is one of the best written dramas on the American stage Aside from the Ques- tion of race prejudice there is as pretty love. story interwoven as has ever been written.

a convenient handkerchief case is
made from two yards of 6-inch ribbon,
cotton batting and sachet. The rib
bon should be of two colors or a fig
ured and plain effect The strips are
overcast together to within five inches
from the top. The opposite end is
turned in to the depth of ten inches
and has a layer of the scented cotton
slipped between. This double fold is
then overcast to the rest of the silk
to make 10-inch pocket. leaving a
turnover of an inch of the stitched
strip, and the separate points to fold
over the pocket like the flap of an en-
velope.
The separate ends of the ribbon, laid
in fine plaits about half way down the
end, are cut in a bias line or a point,
as preferred.
These cases are so quickly made
that they make excellent gifts at any
time.

PLUMES NOT YET DISCARDED

properly upon the neck.
The shoulder of a draft horse
should be moderately sloping, smooth
and extending we'll back. A majority
of poorly formed draft horses have
shoulders which are too steep. Occa-
sionally the shoulders are too sloping.
Either extreme in a draft horse is OBJ
jectionable. Trouble with collars
comes from these causes when the
horse is doing heavy pulling. The cor
rectly laid shoulder should form a
smooth, comfortable bed for the col
lar. Straight or upright shoulders de-
tract from easy, free action of the
forelegs and generally are found asso-
ciated with upright pasterns. The
shoulders should be smoothly and
deeply covered with muscles and be
free from coarseness, roughness, sores
and tumors. The withers should be
well covered and moderately high.
The forearm, extending from the ell
bow to the knee, should be long, wide,
heavily muscled and free from coarse
ness. This portion of the body of the
draft horse, together with the lower
thigh (gaskin) of the hind leg, cannot
be fattened, but is composed chiefly of
lean muscle and bone. The muscles
should be prominent in front and
above and the entire part clean and
free from puf1iness and coarseness.
The knees should be straight, wide,
deep, strongly formed and smooth.
So long as these and other joints
are free from puffs, bony growths
and meatiness, they cannot we'll be
too large or too strongly developed.
Knees should be straight and so set
as to perfectly carry the weight of the
body. Sprung knees, or buck knees, =
bent in the forward direction are as
Objectionable as those of the reverse
type which are known as calf
knees" Examine the knees for blem-
ishes and the cannons for splints

For Stout Women.

Skirts are still attached to slightly
high belt, unless it is better to &C
centuate the waist line for those who
are not slim and straight. In word,
to the woman who has increased in
weight nothing will be more becoming
than the softly draped surplice waist,
which cannot be surpassed in grace,
and a skirt unbroken in length.
She can create on this foundation,
as her fancy may dictate, thousand
original ideas-panels of lace, bands
in lengthwise strips-but always must
bear in mind that good results are
achieved only when the lines are long
and simple.
The best-gowned women recognize
this unfailing rule, and cleverly adapt
the French designs.-Harper's Bazaar.
