Lonesome Pine" and had their minds
flooded with sunshine as they followed
June along the lonely trail TO the
gaunt, rugged, lonely pine that guarded
Lonesome Cove, will be lost in happy
bewiledrment as they strike the same
trail hewn by Eugene Walter in the
production at the Crescent Theatre on
Sunday night.
While John Fox, Jr, lets us trace the
life of June in the written page, Eu-
gene Walter leads us, as it were, gent
" by the hand and we follow Isabelle
Lows, who essays the role of the wild
mountain girl with deep sympathy,
above. beyond the purple tops of the
Cumberland mountains into realms OF
romantic love. A joyous note OF col

ORPHEUM THEATRE.

The Orpheum Road Show. the excel
lence of vaudeville, will make its an
nual appearance in New Orleans the
week of Dec. Il. These carefully-se-
lected seven acts are supposed 10 rep
resent an ideal combination of acts.
To be named as a Road Show act is
the ambition of every actor in yaude-
willie, and TO achieve this distinction is
conclusive evidence of success. This
wear Martin Beck, the aStute managing
director of the Orpheum Circuit, has
selected Gus Edwards (Kid kaberetD
as the headliner of the 1913 road show.

RIBBON FLOWERS ARE
DAINTIEST OF GIFTS
BY JULIA BoTToMLEY.

Exquisite ribbon roses, corsage
bouquets of ribbon violets and nose
gays of small ribbon or silk buds-all
scented-are among the Christmas
offerings for this year that hardly
cost more than the time it takes to
make them. This item of cost is an
important one to most of us. There
are so many that we wish to remem-
Der, at the holiday season, that even
modest gifts mount up into a total
which 1t is unfair to ourselves for US
to spend. The one way out is to
make up things in which the ideas
and work make value. Our friends
appreciate these more than any other
sort of gift.
To make the little buttonhole bou
quets shown here, requires bolt OF

ROBERT billiard IN THE AR
GYLE CASE"

The production of any play in which
Robert billiard appears is theatrical
event of special significance. He is
one of Americas best actors, with fine
technique, sure, authoritative method
and distinguished personality. The
Argyle Case" which he presents under
the direction of Klaw & Erlanger, at
their fashionable Tulane Theatre next
week, achieved instant success during
its wonderful six months run at the
Criterion in New York last season.
Quite unusual interest attaches to
The Argyle Case" because of its au-
thorship, in which are associated Har-
riet Ford, playwright, and Harvey j.
O'Higgins. the story writer. They had
the cooperation of Detective William
J. Burns, who directed the development
of the mystery precisely as if it WERE
a real life case brought to his office for
investigation. Asche Kayton, person
ated by Mr.. billiard, and his men work
along the lines that Burns would follow
with his own operatives. Yet there is
no attempt to treat of political or in
dustrial issues. or graft, or celebrated
leases in which Burns has become a
conspicuous figure. The processes EN-
ployed in tracing the criminals and, in
cidentally, breaking up a dangerous
band of counterfeiters, are logical and
accurate. Apart fro mthe dramatic
quality of the play it is interesting tc
obtain an insight into the inner work
ings of big detective agency where
the tangled Clews to a crime are
Strengthened out and a legal case es
tablished against its perpetrators.
THE Argyle Case" which is de
tective play and not crook" drama
requires a large cast of some thirt!
characters, including people of polite
society, criminal investigators and I'm
derworld types. 1t has been staged b!

bunch of millinery foliage. For this
purpose the velvet maiden-hair fern
is the best choice.
Scraps of ribbon or silk in bright
colors-pink, rose, yellow or white,
or other colors if desired-make up
the small rosebuds. A narrow fold
four to six inches long is rolled into
the semblance of a bud. The tie
wire is wound about this roll at one
end to form the stem. AS this wire
is as fine as coarse thread it should
be doubled to make the rosebud
stems.
The violets are made either of vel.
vet baby ribbon or No. 2 silk ribbon.
Little bows of four loops, each three
quarters of an inch deep, are wound
at the middle with the tie-wire
which holds the loops to place and
forms the stem. After the roses and
violets have been made, group them
together in a little bouquet and tie
the stems with a bit Of tie-wire.
Place a spray of the maiden-hair fern
with them, wrap with tin-foil, which
may be had at the florists, and tie
with a plain bow of the baby ribbon.
Purple tin-foil should be used. To
make a large bunch of violets wider
ribbon (about a half inch wide) should
be used. The violets are made in
the manner first described. A single
dark red rosebud Of ribbon or silk
is mounted with them and few MILL
merry leaves of rose foliage. There
are usually plenty Of these among
ones discarded millinery flowers. If
they are crumpled they may be
pressed lightly with an iron-not hot
but Just warm.

make, but most beautiful for a cor

1t will be the same. We will promise
faithfully not to do It; but, Just as sure

In view of this alarming fact, that
