Ben Hur." Fourteen years have been rounded out since the curtain first rose on this stage version of the great Wallace book, years that have yield ed a mighty fortune to the producers and others connected with the presen- tation of the play. To make the pres ent season memorable, the interna- tiOnal production which was used at the Drury Lane Theatre, London, and the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York. has been sent on tour and will be shown at the Auditorium Monday and Tuesday evenings, December 22 and 23.
 The panoplied glorias of the Roman hosts. the aesthetic beauty and lux ury of the Orient, the stately magnif- icence of the Egyptians, are now em- ployed in presenting the story told in Ben Hur" What in other produc- tions of the play seemed magnificent pale beside the glories of the new pro duction. The plan of tine scenes is @ large, the number of people neces- sary to represent the action of the story so great that there are only twenty theatres in the United States large enough to accommodate the in- vestiture and the crowds. In the beauty of it's mounting this Biblical play has the distinction of being the finest stage production America has ever seen, added to which it possess es great dramatic force and other ele- mants that are most effective. The life, color, action and love in peremating Ben hur' quicken the pulse and one feels the thrill of glo- rious days and deeds, of danger and delight Action is a preeminent es- sential of any romance, and the nat urally romantic and interesting times in which Ben Hur' is laid enthrall it's auditors.
 There are numerous intensely dra- matic scenes in the course of the play, one of the most exciting of which is the chariot ace at the circus of An tioch, marvellous mechanical ere ation of stagecraft skillfully execut- ed, and in its power to stir it's audi ences it discounts the Dig scenes of all other big spectacles on the stage today
 While Ben Hur" is vitally dramatic and exceptionally spectacular, it still retains a spiritual tone that is most uplifting, appealing as it does to the loftier emotions.

veils are marvellous for helping out the complexion.
 A very pretty small hat of matters plush, trimmed with a wreath of os- trich, finished with a plume, amounts to means of carrying off a splendid trimming. The shape is graceful in itself but almost concealed by the soft mass of ostrich which surrounds it. This is a hat for the visiting toi- lette, the club meeting or reception, the afternoon tea and the carriage ride. The model has been developed in many colors-with the body of the hat in black or other dark, quiet color. Ostrich in blue, white, coral, tango" (which is a deep nasturtium shade) and in vivid green have all been used on models of this kind.
 Colors for the body of costumes and hats remain quiet and inconspicu- ous except for evening wear. It Is in trimmings that one may indulge in gay tones, and here they are managed care- fully. This reaction to dark colors makes a concourse of people look rath- CT somber The dash of color in plumes and flowers is a relief to the eye
 Very tall standing feathers appear in all sorts of millinery. The standing plume shown in the picture is modest as to length-and just as it should be in pose.
