n I that the styles have changed
" " there is no compromising THIS
this time. They really have
changed, not only on the outside, but
right down to the skin. Even the hu-
man shape is called upon to make a de-
cidedly different appearance in this new
regime The most fundamental changes
are to be seen by an inspection of the
corsets in the new department OF the
young woman's shop at the corner OF
Tenth and F. streets.
The highly curved. long. heavy steel
boned creation is n thing Of the past,
and in its stead reigns a straight-lined.
soft-boned affair very greatly like the
human shape in its lines, and made OF
the sOftest Of chamoiS cloth. This is the
average new corset, but there are some
styles which have even fewer bones and
which are simply braces with straps,
which wind around the waist under the
bust and tie at the back. In the sides
of the cOrscts there are one or two very
short bones. the front and back bones
are very long. but soft, and the ma
terial is made to entirely cover the hips.
While giving plenty of room to the
figure, the new style permits the fitting
OF the underclothinS plain and fiat. so
that there is no appearance or bunchi-
ness. The least expensive or the Dras-
scres are 30 cents, while some of the
corsets run as high as SIS and over.
There is so little trimming used on the
hats this fall that the buying of a velour
or velvet model and sticking feather
fancy at the side is easy enough for any
one to accomplish. The bare hats cost
from 50 to S. and Sc at almost all of the
stores. The hat and fur shop in +

hats for s. They are in the small head

velvet and velour The color is mainly
black. Besides the addition OF an up-

What Happened to Mary Relief From
The Problem Play, Says Julia Murdock
Author Has Reversed Process
by Dramatizing Series Of
Motion Plays.

~ ATRONS Of the moving picture
- houses are familiar with what
one may term the '.'picturized
play'-the Shakesperien produc-
ton or the classic comedy done over FOR
the Inovies-but It remained for Owen
Davis, author of ia thrilling melo-
dramas. to reverse the process ann
drama tize a moving picture, or rather
series Of them.
What Happened to May" now play
ing at the Belasco, Is the result and.
despite the fact that the plot of the
piece has been familiarized through the
pages of a woman's magazine as well
as through the pictures in which Miss
Mary Fuller took the leading role, the
play has a wide appeal and manifestly u
potent charm for audiences. satiated
with problems and thrills. erotic dane
ing and uncIothed choruses.
1t is an axiom of the theatrical world
as it is of all classes Of life-that
plays move in circles, that the pendu-
lum Of popular opinion swings back
and forth and that styles In plays. as
in fashions, recur at certain stated in
tervals.
If this be true, we appear to be in
for a revival of the rural drama or
the type of "The Old Homestead"
Shore Acres" and WAY Down East"
What Happened to Mary is probably
the forerunner of this recurrence Of
the country play as mentioned in con-
tradistinction to the drama Of the city
and one cannot but heave a sigh Of
relief at the prospect OF getting away,
for a time at least, from the oppressive
sex dramas and suggestive problem
plays which have been so prevalent
during the last half-decade.
What Happened to Mary makes no
p-etense to dramatic skill indeed. one
can hardly overlook the technical faults
which crop up in every act. But what
1t does pretend tc do and-what Is more
to the point-what it accomplishes, Is
to entertain at least that class of the
audience which has not made such
a steady diet Of sensationalism that any
other food pals and sickens. To those
who have still the love of nature in
their hearts, to those who can still
enjoy quiet comedy which does not need
to be hammered home with the slap
stick. to those who are still abole to
appreciate a simple "old-fashioned love
story" without a single sex note, What
Happened to Mary" will prove de-
light. Others had better stay away.
The present production at the Belasco
has as its basis the Mary" stories,
which appeared In the Woman's World
last year, and which were simultaneous
ly picturized by the Edison company.

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
MOTHERS HELPER.

~ NE morning Nettie's father
came to her room and said:
~ Mother is sick this morning;
/ wonder IL We can get break
fast and take care Of the baby until
can get some one to come and help?'
Nettie was only ten years old, and
she had never done anything to help
about the house, but she jumped out
OF bed and dressed herself and ran
downstairs. Her father was making the
coffee, and Nettie began to set the
table. She was surprised to find she
had to take SO many steps back and
forth to the pantry. The eggs were
not cooked right and the coffee was
muddy. the toast was burned and then
the baby awoke just as Nettie was
sitting down to her breakfast. The
baby was brought to the table, but he
wanted his breakfast, and Nettie had to
prepare 1t before she ate hers.
I'VE do not get on as well as mother,
do we?' asked her father.
Nettie shook her head. She was too
busy to reply any other way. and she
wondered how her mother could get
breakfast every morning and have II
right and take care Of the baby and
be SO pleasant all the time.
Nettie had to stay at home from
school until the woman came to take
care of her mother and the baby.
Nettie went to her mothers room to
ask-if she wanted any breakfast, but
her mother was too i'll to eat
See II you cannot bathe baby's face
and hands ard put on a fresh dress and
wash the dishes before the woman
comes" said her mother.
Poor Nettie, she had a hard morning,
the baby did not want her to bashe him
or dress him. and while she was wssh-
ing the dishes she had to have him M
his chair in the kitchen, and every little
while she had to stop her work and
amuse him.
1t was noon before she had the work
done, and still the woman did not come,
then came a message from her father
that he could not get any one to help,
and that he would come home early
and help her with the dinner.
Nettie got her lunch and gave the
baby his bottle. and while he was hav-
Ing his nap she went to her mother
again.
DO you think you could make mother
a cup of tea?" she asked Nettie. Then
she told her how to make 1t, and Nettie
went to the kitchen to try her hand as
cook.
The tea was rather strong, but she
put more hot water in the cup and the
piece of toast she had made was dell
