"GRABBE AND RUNNE.'
Prcston Gibson's Comedy Tomorrow
Night Attracting Attention.

Several well-known theatrical managers
will come to Washington from New
York between Wednesday and the end
OF the week to witness n performance
OF .'Grabbe and Runne." the new musical
comedy by Preston Gibson and Louis
Iungerich Matthews, which will he pre-
sented at the Playhouse on Wednesday
night. and for the balance of the week
by the Players Club OF Washington,
with a company which includes a ma
jority OF the most talented social lead
crs in the city for the benefit of char
ity.
Good musical comedies are very scarce
this season In New York, and the ia
vorable reports of Mr.. Gibson's play
which have reached the metropolitan
producers have made them anxious to
see II. with a view of giving il an early
professional production on Broadway.
Among those who have stated their in
tention OF coming are Miss Elizabeth
Marbury. Miss Alice Kauser. Marc Klaw,
A. L. Erlanger, Pat Casey, William A.
Brady. Charles r. Dillingham;. Lee Shu-
bert. J. ]. Shubert. and Messrs. Werba
and Luescher.
The full dress rehearsal of "Grabbe
and Runne' was given at the Play
house on Sunday night, and was at
tended by several dramatic and musical
critics, who voiced the opinion that when
seen by these New York managers each
one will want II for his own. Extraordi-
nary advance sale of tickets, and those
who have already bought boxes include
the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs.
Macveagh. Mr.. and Mrs. Edison Brad
ley. Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Belmont, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Mum. 1t is
expected that the charities will derive
great benefit from these performances.

WONDROUS NECKLACE
GIFT FOR MRS. TAFT
Society Leaders viii Present SIC, 900
Diamond Chain ~ Token Of
Good VIII.

A $4,000 diamond necklace, which is
to be presented to Mrs. William H. Taft
by the society leaders of Washington
when she leaves the White House with
the President, Is being made by a we'll
known firm of New York jewelers.. The
order for the splendid chain was placed
yesterday by Miss Mabel Boardman.
chairman of the executive committee Of
the Red Cross. who returned from New
York last night.
The necklace. II was learned may cost
much more than the $4,000 decided upon.
That figure is considered conservative.
Miss Boardman yesterday had with her
photograph Of the necklace now pos
sessed by Mrs. Taft and worn at many
affairs this winter.
This was turned over to the firm OF
jewellers who are entrusted with the max
ing of the new necklace. in order that
there may be no similarity between the
two chains Of jewels.
Those who started the movement are
Mrs. W. Murray Crane. Mrs. Frederick
Keep. Mrs. George Wickersham. Mrs.
Edward Beale Mclean. Mrs. Nicholas
Anderson, Mrs. Charles Nagel. Mrs. A
Garrison McClintock. Mrs Charles Rae.
Mrs. Horace Westcott. Mrs. Hope Slater.
Miss Gwynne and Miss Mabel Boardman.
Although neither the date nor the gift
has been decided on, it is thought that
when the President and Mrs. Taft leave
the Congressional Club after the recep-
ton to be given them on February 3 the
latter will bear away a token of the good
will OF the whole people Of Washington.

TEA CONVERTS
WOMEN TO SUFFRAGE
New Argument Brought Forward BY
Local Enthusiasts Potent IN OBJ
taininr Adherents.

The suffrage social tea" has become
fashionable in Washington. Miss Janet
Richards Is the originator Of the idea,
which is being taken up by tho society
women Of the District as a new amuse-
ment, and in most cases ends with n
conversion of the entire gathering to the
cause Of equal suffrage
suffrage tea some time ago, has been
continually in demand as speaker for
similar affairs since.
Mrs. G. E. Rosa, of Cleveland Park,
gave a suffrage tea to more than hun
dred other women OF that suburb yes
terday. and Miss Richards was invited
to address them. AS a social event. the
women said, the tea was complete
success. but it proved an even greater
success from equal suffrage workers
point of view Miss Richards spoke to
the women for more than an hour upon
tho cause Of equal suffrage. At the close
OF her address. most Of her audience
were converts. while all had become
deeply interested. Many Of the women
pledged themselves to march IN the
pageant.
In speaking of the anti-equai suffrage
movement. Miss Richards said:
We have no objection whatever to
the 'antiS opposition. On the con-
trary. We are thankful to them, for they
help to stir up interest in the suffrage
question. and in so doing they make an
admirable kindergarten in which to train
our future supporters"

Salad Dressing.

Boiled salad dressing is something that
every housewife likes to keep on hand.
This recipe is a favorite in several house
holds and will keep for a long time in a
cool place. Mix together a scant table
spoonful each of sugar and flour. a tea
spoonful of salt, half teaspoonful of
dry mustard, and a dash of paprika-
Then slowly add a tablespoonful of olive
oil and half cupfuI or vinegar and a
little more than half a cupful Of water.
Mix till a thick paste Is formed. Stir
the mixture over the fire till 1t is smooth.
and just before taking off the stove add
a well-beaten egg. To vary this dressing
add to it an equal quantity of whipped
cream.

SEEK TO retain
FREE DELIVERY
Chamber Of Commerce Mem
bers Protest Against Dis
continuance.
STATEMENT TO-DAY
Merchants Confident Of Favorable
Finding BY the interstate Com
merce Commission.

The committee on freight rates Of the
Chamber of Commerce met with the
subcommittee of the Interstate Com
merce Commission yesterday in regard to
the threatened discontinuance Of the free
delivery of freight by the railroads. and
the members of the Chamber Of Com
merce organization last night expressed
confidence in the Commissions finding
in their favor against the proposed
change of the time-honored delivery
rule.
The formal protest OF the Chamber
will be filed with the Commission to-day.
The basic argument OF the merchants
Is that inasmuch as the merchants OF
Baltimore are granted free delivery Of
freight the discontinuance Of free de-
livery in Washington would constitute
discrimination against Washington mer-
chants selling in Laurel and the other
towns near Baltimore.
The committee from the Chamber was
headed by P. T. Moran, and the other
two members were Rosa +. Downing
and Col. NJ. 4. Winter.
Eight Months to Get Ready.
II no action is taken by the Commits
sion to prevent, free delivery will be
stopped March /. Should the subcom-
mittee OF the Commission find in favor
OF the Washington shippers, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission may hold
up the discontinuance for sixty days for
a final hearing. and II a proper hearing
cannot be had in that time the action
OF the railroads may further be post
poned for six months. This gives the
merchants eight months OF grace to de-
fend themselves against the threat OF
the railroads.
The matter of free delivery was dis
cussed at a meeting or the Chamber OF
Commerce last week, and at that time
tho committee on freight rates was au-
thorized to ask a hearing OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

THREE ITEMS GIVE
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Women Should Copy Mans Good
Habits and Leave His Folies
Alone.
BY FRANCES SHAFFER.

Three items on a single page of big
newspaper recently were a bit impressive
because one wondered what might be
back of them.
The first to attract attention was the
statement of Mrs. Caroline L. Alexander,
of Hoboken, president of the New Jersey
State Board of Children's Guardians.
In her annual report to the Governor
she referred to mothers who deserted their
children and said that she had known
many, but that they belonged to the
upper classes, mothers who for long
periods of time leave their children to
! the care of nurses and governesses- Ten
dollars a week. she declared, must often
feed and clothe the laboring mans brood
of five, six, and sometimes eight little
children, but in that home of many
worries, many problems and cares, there
was not a shadow OF the selfishness that
often prevailed In home where $4,000
income was barely sufficient for two.
For in tnat home of plenty there was
vanity and an overweening love Of self.
Among the. poorer classes. mothers,
with their many little ones flocking about
them, close upon their heels all the
while, by very intimacy of the contract,
grew fonder, more tender and loving
than those mothers ever in search of
fresh fields and pastures new, just for
the sake of entertainment.
These statements formed part of her
report; whoever wishes. may preach the
sermon.
May Preach own Sermon.
The next item was a paragraph stat
ing that the giver of many splendid en-
tainments in Philadelphia, a woman Of
wealth, high in social standing. had been
requested by the corresponding secretary
Of the W. G. T. L. TO stop offering Gig
arettes to women who enjoyed her hos
pitality. They did not stop with that
but went TO the management of prom
inent hotel with the request that women
be forbidden to smoke there. According
TO the report. both requests were inspired
by the wife of the head of the Law and
Order society of that city.
And again one says: Whoever pleases
may preach the sermon.
Just in passing. however. while one
does not think the requests will make
a mite of difference and while they may
be rather i'll advised anyway, one does,
just as an individual. wish that women
of high degree. and those who are not.
might COPY only the best of mans habits
and leave his follics alone. For. try as
we may, we cannot believe that the
trick Of smoking will add one jot to
womans pleasure. her well-beinS or her
