Velvet Wrap. Now Popular.

The latest fad of the moment is to wear
velvet nantes with the dancing frocks.
and. though 1t scarcely seems practical
In this country, velvet mantle bought
now can be worn until the snow flies.
These mantles are developed in rich,
liquid shades of blue-the corbeau blue
amethyst and ruby. A collar of some
kind Is a necessity, and the fur collars
are seen quite as often as the lace or
tulle ones. An intermediate fancy calls
for an ostrich ruche.
Drapery still holds It's own in evening
nantes. and some Of them are draped
up In the front to give the Oriental ef-
feet that has been SO popular in gowns
this season On others the fullness is
simply gathered into a graduated band
at the bottom that is wide in the back
and narrows toward the front. But prac-
tically all the wraps keep to the sill
houette line Of the season, and are loose
and full around neck and shoulders and
tight around the bottom.

resort. In addition to all of the attrac-
tons the resort offers regularly. there
will be free vaudeville every afternoon
and night, with the sensational diving
act of Nils and Rosa Regnell az the big
feature.
This act, which has but recently been
brought over from London. Is said TO
be one of the most sensational ever
offered, as the divers wind up their turn
by dive from the top of a sixty-five-
foot tower with their clothes. saturated
with gasoline. ablaze, into shallow
tank i'm which oil on the water Is blazing.
Twice day the act will be put on, and

certs in the afternoon and evening.

cent revival of Victorien Sardou's mas
terful French comedy. "Divorcons,
next week. The play made such ire
mendous hit abroad that 1t has always
been done in this country under the same
name.
The story of "Divorcons" Is that OF
delightful comedy-a husband. wife
and admirer. Feeling that she Is neg
lected by her husband the wife encour-
ages the attentions OF the friend. When
the husband discovers the situation. in
stead of raising a row and creating a
scene he calmly proposes a divorce so
that the >object of his wife's infatuation
may be free to marry her.
The lady Is delighted at first. but grad
ually is forced to make comparisons be-
tween her husband and the one who
threatens the disruption Of their home.
The affair Is brought TO a climax in the
famous restaurant scene, where husband
and wife are quietly dining together
without the knowledge Of the lover. and
where the husband succeeds In winning
back his wife's affections.
The play will be handsomely staged
and the costuming will be all that the
most fastidious could desire.

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. Christmas Attraction at the Davis.

At the Davis theatre Thursday, Dec %, matinee and night, William A. Brady's production of Bought and Paid For, by George Broadhurst. will be given here for the first time.
 No telling of the plot can give you anything more than faint idea of the wonderful character drawings of the play. There are four very important roles, each representing a different and distinct type, and each is a faithful composite portrait of & modern class with whom most of you are familiar. In fact, so clearly are the characteri1a- tions shown and so realistic is the language placed in the mouths of the principals that you cannot help but il1en these people of footlight land to certain ones whom you are accus toned to meet in your daily walks.
 First there is Virginia Blaine. the delicate and refined little telephone operator, who marries the self-made king of finance, The part is played by Helen Macbeth Virginia is the daugh- ter of people of genuine culture and breeding. with whom real gentility was an inborn quality. Thrown upon her own resources at an early age, by the death of her father, who left behind him little but good name. she strug- gled bravely to maintain her decency, self respect, and at the same time add to her store of knowledge of things worth while,
 She is not one of those girls, too fa- miliar in every big city, who ape the manners and language of those in. bet ter circuTnstances, merely for show, and the height of whose ambition is to wear clothes that they cannot afford. On the contrary. she is good. true, earnest little woman, proud of her own clean life and ever willing to learn anything that will help her morally or mentally. Fanny, her sis ter (played by Marion Lord), is the type of pretty, big hearted girl of the shops, on whose shoulders refinement will never rest with ease, but who would willingly give her last cent and everything else she possesses to help a comrade in need. She is at all times a friend worth having and one whose shortcomings are of the head and not of the heart.
 The sale of seats opens this morning at 10 o'clock. Prices for matinee and evening, 25c to $1.50. Telephone orders held till Wednesday night only.

When Christ came to earth he began. the Jews were op- pressed by the Roman government were weary, heavy laden, and the life that Christ gave was not the life they were looking for. That life lays hold of and makes new the new soul that clings to him.
