THE Kingdom of Dreams is
the decidedly pretty feature at
the Pantages this week. Clever
girls dance and sing in a wierd
Oriental setting that is charm
ing. IL is unfortunate that a
similar act came over the circuit
SO short time ago.
Early q Funny. Man
and wife comedian act which gets
q laugh.
The Smithy and the Eel" is
a clever crook act by Harry Cor
nell. Ethel Corley and company,
deserving of a good reception.
Bob Kelley and George Catlin
score in their "A Niger and a
Chinaman." The act is a scream
and unusual.
The Acme Four won a big hand
with their songs.
Gray and Peter. cyclists are
clever in their work.

come back we'll and strong enough
to comfort her-after."
Dear Aunt Mary / some
times feel that she is my very
own relation-she is so lovely, so
patient, so sympathetic. l am
afraid that when l am as old as
she I will not be as delightful a
companion as she. I am SO glad
she decided to live with us.
She and Dad are about the
only old people have ever
known who have kept their hearts
young and who are always ready
to help one over the hard places
who are able to remember their
own mistakes and so excuse those
younger ones who are still max
ing them.
Sometimes I see her eyes fill
with tears when Dick comes
around the table to kiss me good
bye. The other morning ] said
to him: Dick. perhaps it would
be better IL we did our kissing in
private. 1t seems to hurt dear
Aunt Mary"
After a few mornins Aunt
Mary came to me and said: MAR
gle, is anything the matter be-
tween you and Dick?"
why, no, Aunt Mary"
well, he doesn't kiss you
goodbye any more"
Then / told her, and she came
and put her arms about me and
said "Oh, my dear, my deari 1t
would break my heart if you and
Dick gave up one of your little
caresses because of me. I love to
see him kiss you, dear. Ny
greatest happiness is in your love.
"If my eyes filled with tears
IL was because you reminded me
of the sweetest times of my life.
1t is sorrow not unmixed with joy,
dear.
Married life is always like
that, dear. Every day brings It's
Joys and cafesses, and as long as
men are men and women are
women it will be the same.
Some days you will think you
cannot possibly live with your
husband and some days you win
know that you cannot live with
out him."
"An that I have already
known" ! answered.

The Puget Sound country is not
adapted to Oriental costumes.
In fact. Tacoma and the rest
of the Northwestern country

of harems or Oriental sophistry

about in books of Turkish lore.
No, Stree. There's a comely
lass in Tacoma who wears Moth

looms while she works. And she

Mother Waverly has at last
given up and decided that a
trained nurse is the best possible
thing for Dad. She seems to
have suddenly grown old, as she

realize that Dad is not going to

all right, but she has always been
one OF those self-centered women

she will have nothing to take, in
the slightest degree, the place

nothing in common with any one

Dear Miss Grey: was
looking over your columns
this evening and was greatly
disappointed in your idea of
a "cowgirl's" life. Ii is not
"dulI, strenuous" life as
you stated unless one makes
it so. A wild west ranch has
greater and freer pleasures
than city life. l have lived
on a cattle ranch several
years, as well as in the city,.
and can truly say that / pre-
fer the life of the cowgirl.
Hoping you will publish
this letter for the benefit of
those who would like to
hear my side of the argu-
ment, and that you will
change your idea of cowgirl
life at least to some small
degree, anxiously await
your reply.
A TACOMA GIRL.
Alt would be impossible for
me to alter my views or retract
any part of my statement as
have lived more than several
years ON a ranch, and gained
none of my knowledge from
hearsay, but from actual expert
ence. Perhaps you encountered
different phase of ranch life.

prove so unpleasant, but to be
