The Up-to-date Shoulders
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Did you ever realize how plastic is a woman'S form?
 With every passing whim of fashion woman seemingly changes her form hat
 It almost looks as though we were going to the sloping shoulders of great grandmothers' days just now. hope not, for there is nothing prettier than the well set up'', rather boyish shoul- der of the athletic girl who has been with us for the last few years.
 4ave a theory that the sloping shoulder means girl who is some what dependent upon others. You have heard grandmother tell of the 'tclinging vine'' variety of women that were popular in her day. Great grandmother never had an opinion of her own on any subject before she was married; she deferr ed to father and afterward to husband.
 Certainly it is rather a joke that just now when woman was never so free in her opinions that fashion should decree a carriage which is ham pered in such a manner that her shoulders slump and her step grows shorter. She could not run or take long breath to save. her soul.
 This cannot help but take her back to the old dependent position of long ago; for let no one laugh you out of the notion that your physical self af-l fects your mind and temperament to the greatest degree.
 There is nothing more beautiful than the firm shoulder that is covered with shoft, beautiful flesh and skin of a firm, velvety texture
 The girl that has this kind of a shoulder will have a splendid lung, capacity She wil1s love the great out of doors and she will be happy as long as she can stand up and throw her superb shoulders back and breathe in the air of heaven. am not a lover of the new walk or the slopSng round- ing shoulder It means to me physical degeneration, and a mind that is not big enough to direct the body. to throw off the shackIes will deprive the body of not only it's liberty, but will prove

Pinkerton, the internationally fam o1s detective, who enjoys good drama tic entertainment as keenly as he en- joys solving mysterious crime So delighted was MT. Pinkerton with the applause the play received at its pre-
 miere that he could not refrain him. self from expressing to its author his unqualified opinion that Within the Law is the most impressive drama, he has ever witnessed. MT. Pinkerten warmly commended the passages of the play treating with such realism police methods, life among successful thieves, tactics of shrewd hlackmaiIers, and general conditions in the under world'' of society. He expressed ad- mirattion for the faithful expression of human nature, and the accurate and intelligent application of police color and legal atmosphere. and the wealth of detail.
 within the Law tells the story of a young American girl who, innocent of wrongdoing, Is tsrailroaded" to pris- on-sacrificed as need for an "ex amp1e'' against theft. She leaves prts- on and tries to be honest, but the po- lice persecute her and drive her from decent society. Denied the right to live honestly, she adopts safe methods of crime, remaining always technically within the Law but praying at will on society under that, cloak.
 The same cast and production that is to be seen in within the Law in this city will be sent to London for an enga gem lent in the spring. The sale of seats for within the Law will open next Friday but mail or ders which may be sent in now, will be filled in the order of their receipt.
