FOX PICTURE IS
 THE GREATER LOVE

"The Greater Love-" in two parts. is the principal picture at the Fox theater today On the way to his ship, which is about te sail on a long voyage, Jack stops at Mary's homo and declares his love. After some time of eager expectancy news from the absent sailor reaches the girl. He expresses the hope of being home again in about thirteen months. While Jack is away the girl becomes an orphan through the death of her mother. The disconsolate girl closes her house and starts out to seek living in a distant town. Jack has been unable to send a letter to Mary, put the tedium of the long voyage gives him many moments for thought of the girl he left behind. At last the vessel is hom meward bound and the heartsicll sailor writes his sweet heart of the prospect of seeing her soon, but the letter is never delivered, as Mary's address is unknown.
 In the course of her journey Mary meets all old friend of her fathers. the lighthouse keeper, whose sym pathy IS excited by the girls plight, and believing her lover dead, mar ries the man who befriended her. Soon after this a shipwreck off their shore startles the occupants of tho lighthouse, who aid the sole survivor in bis fight for safety. When the ex- hausted man is brought to shore he is recognized by Mary as her former sweetheart. The old love for Jack still burns in Mary's heart, but the hopelessness of their position drives Jack to the shore, where he broods in despair, but the couple are afterwards united.

Miss Eleanor Wilson's Wedding Said to Be Set for Friday, May 15 Her Gowns Have All Been Fitted and Invitations Have Been Ordered-Her Short Dancing Frocks Are
 More Becoming Than Her Dinner Gowns.

Washington, April 9.--Even to try ing on her long trained, white satin wedding gown, with it's relief of tulle, the work of fitting the dozen and more gowns which form the chief part of Miss Eleanor Wilson's rousseau was accomplished at the White House on Tuesday.
 The announcement of the engage rent was made on March 13, and in the remarkably short time since that day, Miss Wilson has not only ordered her rousseau, but she has ordered her wedding invita- tions, made out the list of guests and, best of all, has set the date, even to the day and hour4 for her wedding. The wedding date was decided upon positively within the last few days. but further than that it is to take place in May nothing has been made known. It Is a mere surmise that it will be on one of the Fridays of the month, for it might still be on Wednesday, May 13, and remain true to the tradition of the Wilson partiality for "unlucky" num- bers.
 By some one who got peep at Miss Wilson during the trying-on period at the White House it was said that the

short dancing frocks-dainty as flow ers--and the useful trotteur costumes were far more becoming to the bride- elect than the more elaborate dinner gowns, evening gowns and even the wedding gown itself. For a. fact, Mrs. Bryan, next to whom Miss Wilson will rank as cabinet lady, will have to look to her laurels in the way of cos tundes or the newest little cabinet lady will walk away with all the honors.
 Mrs. Bryans taste runs to soft gray and black gowns, rich in material and often costly, but even those things must succumb to the approaching change.
 The final fittings for all the gowns and hats and other things requiring adjustment will be made in New York during Miss Wilson's five days visit there before April 20. There are said to be only one or two suits with the adorable little fancy coats, most of them being constructed to wear with the delectable soft blouses and quite up-to-date coats
 Miss Wilson is wearing in the street here a gown of modish cut, dark blue in color, and modish hat of pink straw and satin with rose on the brim.

Even the tiniest children are following the tendency towards skirts drawn in at the lower edge and this little frock is in the very height of style. The body por- tion is made in the Japanese style with the sleeves making portion of it. When the sleeves and skirt are drawn in and finished with little frills, a real picture effect is obtained but they can quite easily be left free and finished with a hem and scallops or in any way that may. be liked. Whatever the treatment. the short waisted or Empire line is apt to be becoming. In the large view, the dress is shown made from one of the little printed Dresden voiles that are offered this season and it is very pretty and child like in effect. There are, of course, num- berless other fabrics that are appropriate; in fact, anything that is suitable for tiny children can be utilized for this frock.
 For the year size, the dress will re- quire 2 H yds. of material 27, I1 yds. 36. yd. A in. wide, with 4 yd. 36 in. wide for the plaited trimming and 2M yds. of ribbon.
 The pattern of the dress sa7I is cut in sizes for children of I, 2 and 4 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

 of Theatrical Bills
MATINEE AT LYCEUM OF GIRLS" TOMORROW

Patrons of the Lyceum are re- minded that the Players will be seen in special matinee tomorrow Good Friday) afternoon in a performance of Girls the three-act comedy which is having a popular revival presentation. The full rich comedy found in the lines of this play strikes a happy response. The characterize tion of "Lucile Purcelle' by Mrs. Hib- bard is regarded as her very best bit of work. Miss Hamilton as the giddy stenographer is most popular in her part this week.
 Manager Birch has received num- Der of congratulations on the selec- tion of "St. Elmo" to be the attrac- tion for the following week. It will be MT. Blackmores farewell week The bill is most congenial to him as in the title role he achieved some of his greatest dramatic success. It was he who originated the part in the first presentation and his excellent con- ception was taken for the example for other leading men to play the character in other road companies. MT. Blackmore had with him on the road at one time four popular actors oh- serving his presentations of the char acter. "St. Elmo" abounds in stirring action and has a most interesting story plot. ..- .aa
 Seats for the remaining perform ances of Girls are on sale at Crow elrs drug store.

VOCAL MUSIC IS
 GOOD AT KEENEY'S

Comedy and vocal music form an important part of the program at Keeney's this week. There is comedy ir abundance in every number and there are also a number of good musical numbers.
 Both these features are incorporated in the act of Cook and Stevens, who have one of the most attractive spec ialties that has been seen here in a lcng time. They offer 8 humorous skit entitled: "The Coon and The Chinaman.' The singing of Cook is winning great prase and at every per- formance the popular entertainer has to respond with encores. Even after he makes several responses, the audi erce is loathe to have him leave.
 Janet Mozar and her dancing girls appear in a musical number that is finding favor daily. Miss Mozar has considerable dancing ability and is a. hard worker. She sets a rapid pace for the chorus and there is plenty of activity while they hold forth. John nie Hoey, the miniature comedian, who is with the act was for several years a favorite in the "legitimate' ard he has been winning new laurels regularly since his entry in the vaude- vile field. ...

Pretty, dainty corset covers always arc 'tractive but just nowwhen thin blouses are .he rule, they are necessities. This one can be made from houncing or from material. As matter of course. the founcing means less labor for it re- quires only to be threaded with ribbon and finished with ribbon belt. When material is used, the upper and lower edges must be turned under and stitched to form castings but plain net is so pretty with ribbons run through that it is we'll worth the trouble. As a matter of course, embroidered founcing can be substituted for the lace and any thin material can be used instead of the net. Crepe de chine is much in vogue just now and crepe de chine is very pretty made in this way with shoulder straps of ribbon.
 For the IS year size, tine corset cover will require :, 15 yds. of aouncing 10 in. wide or s4 yd. of material 3o or A in. wide, with 315 yds. of ribbon in. wide.
