 Once. from the Prima Donnas Dressing Room, which happened to be the Mati- nee, and in the evening from the Orcnes- tra, and believe me, there's some diff ference.
 This story has to do with the Matinee performance in general and the pretty lit tie Star of the Show" in particular so we'll skip the evening performance, if you please and let me say just here that if I indulge somewhat in what l call "the economy of truth don't you love that expression?) in my story, 1t will not be intentional, but merely because l never could do two things at once.
 Some people can.
 I can't, and this was one of the times, for my ears and eyes and mental vision as we'll were pitched too high, I'm afraid, for with Miss Webber sitting before the mirror making up and the chorus ladies in red and green and yellow and silver and gold and crimson prouetting about the "wings," with no other object in view

 Miss Webber was busy with rouge and poudre which adorned her dressing table, and besides these sartoriai accessories heaped high were. piles of orchids and lilies of the valley. reminders of the fact that she had been very much appreciated in Atlanta the evening before
 Miss Webber is the very latest fashion in what l term the Little Miss cutes'' of the stage.
 Time was when Jono-esque Bookcases like Maxine Elliot and Lillian Russell were the style in fact, the demand for that type was greater-far--than the sup ply. but now, if you please, Little Miss Cute' is the derner cri in theatricals. Witness the Trentini, Miss Marguerite Clark of "Baby Mine" fame, and Miss Florence Webber.
 Miss Webber. let me say, en passant, is an unusually pretty girl off the stage, as well as "on."
 She has eyes of blue-brown that look like crystallized Lapsis Lazuli. fringed with lashes. black as Egypt's night, and she laughs and gambols and tra-la-la s like cunning little lamb. and she be- longs to the class of women who at 40 viii never look q day over 1ps and indeed she is scarcely more than that nowi GO. of course, not 40)

PURE AIR NEEDED
IN LOCAL SCHOOLS
School Examiners Will Issue
Appeal to Teachers Ask
ing Cooperation.

I Poor ventilation in school buildings
is regarded one of the reasons for the
inefficiency of pupils by persons who
have studied the problem in Wayne
county schools.
The condition of the Richmond
schools has prompted Drs. ]. E. King
and A. l.. Bramkamp, city medical ex-
aminers, to send an appeal to all the
teachers of the county asking them to
see that rooms are properly ventilated.
The medical examiners believe that
the teachers are negligent in this par
ticular. 1t is argued that teachers do
not realize the importance of good Ven
tiiation on the efficiency of the pupils,
to say nothing of its effect on the
health of the pupils and teachers
DR.. King is now working on a paper
which he will read to the Richmond
city school board to show the value
of proper ventilation in school rooms.
Statistics secured by him at the re-
cent session of the Hygiene and Demo
graphy congress at Washington will be
presented to the board.

A STOCK COMPANY
FOR MAY FESTIVAL
Commercial Club Proposes
that a Company Handle
Musical Affair in May, /

The board of directors of the Com
mercial club has decided to organize
a stock company for the purpose OF
handling the May musical festival and
entertainments of similar nature.
AS soon as the organization is per-
fected, the sum of S70O now held by
the club will be turned over to help
finance features which the company
may decide to hold.
A committee of 100 guarantors, each
subscribing SO to cover possible
deficit, is the plan proposed.
1t is believed that stock company
to manage the ANIMAL musical feature
of the city will put the venture on a
sound financial basis and make posi-
BILE continued presentations of musical
and other high class amusement at
fractions
The growth of the musical senti-
ment of Richmond, the support which
the CltlZenS nave gwen the annual
musical event, and the interest which
neighboring towns have taken in it,
are all considered indications that the
public wants the proposition put on a
sound financial basis.
John F. Mccarthy, chairman of the
membership committee last evening
reported to the directors that the ad-
dition of 155 members in the last CAM
paign gives the club a membership of
exactly 600.
This is regarded a wonderful show
ing. Few if any cities in the United
States. it is said, have a commercial
club that measures up to the local
one when the population of Richmond
is taken into consideration.

ORDERLY AND FAST
VOTING IN GOTHAM
A Vote Per Minute Was the
Record of the Metropolis
Reported Today.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, Nov. g. Early voting
in New York city today was orderly
and rapid, but was not heavy enough
to indicate the record vote that had
been predicted by the managers of all
parties. The weather was ideal for an
election day.
Balloting throughout the five bur-
roughs was SO rapid that it was ap-
parent that straight tickets were being
voted. When the polls opened at a.
m. all the city's police reserves were
massed at the various stations but the
usual early calls failed to materialize
and the election commissioners declar-
ed the election the "quietest ever held
in New York"
Reports from the state outside of
New York indicated that the vote will
be the heaviest ever cast in a national
election. Three ballots were given the
voters, that on the presidential cleo
tors, the state ticket and a proposed
s50,00O,000 bond issue for good roads
Fair weather prevailed upstate.
A small army of detectives employed
by the Progressive party watched the
voting in this state. =
Magistrates sat in police stations in
each of the assembly districts and
justices of the court were ready to
hold court in their homes in case of
disorder or fraudulent voting at the
polls. But during the early balloting
there were no disorderly voters and
repeaters were apparently frightened
off by the prediction warnings.
Prest. J. Gabriel Britt, of the muni-
cipal bureau of elections stated that
reports coming to him from his aides
and watchers declared that the yot-
ers were showing unprecedented intel
Hgence in handling the three ballots.
He said that there was no doubt that
a large percentage of the voters were
registering straight tickets. In many
districts the rate was a vote a minute.
The only hitch anywhere occurred
in the eleventh and the fifteenth as
sembly districts where the ballots. and
ballot boxes were late in reaching sew
eral polling places owing to a slight
misunderstanding on the part of the
police. Everything was running
smoothly however, by $40 a. m

In a Fairview Precinct, All
but Two Voters Had Bal
loted Before Ten O'clock
in Morning.
ELECTION HERE is
VERY ORDERLY ONE
Considerable Scratching of
Tickets Reported, but for
the Most Part on the
County Ticket.

That the full registered vote will be
polled in this county was indicated by
the fact that during the first hour and
half this morning practically one
third of the registered voters had Wis
tied the polls.
The voting was steady during the
entire morning with the exception of
a short time before noon. About l
O'Clock the voting started again and it
is likely that by o'clock or o'clock
this afternoon the very few voters in
Wayne county will not have marked
their ballots.
1t is believed that the urging of the
various county chairmen to vote ear
ly" was responsible for almost every
man who has registered his vote to-
day. In one Fairview precinct all the
voters had visited the poll, except two,
by 10 a. m.
The county chairmen of the three
leading parties are each confident of
victory for their respective county
tickets. However, it was learned from
party workers, number of tickets
were scratched. Voters remained in
the booths longer than usual, it is
said AS result it is probable that
the election boards in each of the six
ty-four precincts in the county will
have considerable trouble in ascertain
ing the correct vote in their respective
precincts.
Albeit it is believed the scratch
ing of ballots was more general on the
county ticket than usual, 1t is thought
that very few votes will be thrown
into the discard because of mistakes
made by the voters. Party workers
have been busy giving instructions to
voters and especially those who cast
their first vote today.
Up to this afternoon there had been
no reports of trouble at any of the
voting places.
Betting on the results of the elec-
tion on the state and national tickets
was reduced to a minimum today and
number of bets which were placed
on the boards in cigar stores and 9TH
er places were withdrawn. Bets to
the effect that Beveridgc would not
carry Z, 9 and 10 counties in the state
We're eagerly taken last evening 9th
er bets that Ralston would beat Bev-
eridge by $4,000 and $4,000 were taken
almost as soon as they were posted.

COLONEL is HAPPY.

OYSTER BAY. Nov. 5.-"The fight
is over. Now We will see what comes
of it,"
That was Col. Roosevelt's comment
today when asked about his prospects
at the polls. The ex-president was in a
radiant humor after a half day OF
campaigning yesterday. The colonel
was up early and after breakfast went
to his library TO talk with some friends
over the long distance telephone. Mr..
Perkins told him on the phone of the
plans to prevent fraud at the polls in
New York. The colonel expressed sat
isfaction that under the direction OF
William ]. Burns and Mr.. Jerome ev-
cry precaution was being taken.
The coloners appearance at the en-
gine house of the village to cast his
vote was eagerly awaited by a large
crowd.
