THE FORBIDDEN WAY"
Coming Thursday. Dec. 18th.

"The Forbidden Way" as drama is
unique in many respects. II is play
that can be seen by both old and young
to advantage; the story is easily follow
ed, il is so natural, so like occurances
we daily see or read about 1t is bound
to react for the betterment of every one
that sees it, man or woman, because it
only demands for womanhood that
which she has promised at the altar. In
fact there is no man or woman in any
walk of life that will not inwardly feel
better for having seen this play. And
still The Forbidden Way" is not dull
preachment as some might imagine. On
the contrary it is full of life and action.
One situation fairly crowds another in
sustaining the interest this drama main
tains from the beginning to end.
To bring about the above result it is
hardly necessary to state that an ex-
cellent company is absolutely required
And you may be assured that it is a
good company with which Miss Dunbar
has surrounded herself Her manager
has not deprived her of the slightest
whim in making this production per-
fection itself Each one in her company
has been compelled to demonstrate that
he or she is particularly suited to the
character to be portrayed.
And certainly Miss Dunbar and her
manager are justified in their exaction
In selecting the cast for "The Forbid
den Way" for both feel that this is not
only the best play she has ever appear
ed in but probably a better play than
she will again be so fortunate as to OBJ
tain in years to come.
This stellar attraction will be seen at
the Temple Theatre on Thursday eve-
ming, Dec. 18th.

KITCHEN KINKS

Pickles may be kept from becoming
moldy by laying bag of mustard on
top of the pickle jar.
Water in which potatoes have been
boiled is the best thing with which to
sponge and revive a silk dress.
The addition of a little sugar to the
water in which turnips are cooking
will improve the flavor.
II the sink is of iron, and rusted,
scrub 1t with whiskbroom and strong
solution of washing soda. Wipe dry
and go all over il with warm olive oil
applied with flannel rag. Leave it on
for some hours and wash with soda
water. If the sink be of granite ware,
clean with Javelle water. Use it free
ly and rinse the sink with hot water
when the stains are gone.
When washing saucepans be sure to
lay them in front of the fire for five or
ten minutes so that they may dry
Thoroughly inside, and thus prevent
deteriorating through getting rusty.
After use, all pudding cloths and
jelly bags should be washed in very
hot water, and when they have been
well rinsed hung up to dry where they
are exposed to a good draft.
If bacon is soaked in water for few
minutes before frying it will prevent
the fat from running.

Handkerchiefs.

The handkerchief is piece Of cloth
that has supplanted the coat sleeve in
its erstwhile chaperonage of the nasal
passages. That day has passed when a
man would dare sideswipe his nose
with his sleeve, but women haven't yet
quit using the under side of their skirts
when they think no one is looking. A
handkerchief may vary in size from
that of bed spread to postage stamp,
but we don't think much of the person
who uses the government size.

Goats

The goat is frisky little bunch of
animated ignorance that was meant to
be a sheep, when something went
wrong. Goats do not smell quite so
bad olecats or so sweet as flower
gard They will eat tin cans and
'scratj ir0p, but are especially fond Of
clothes that have been left out over
night. Some goats are as bad as men
and women to butt in where they are
not wanted.

GREAT VARIETY IN BLOUSES

skirt, and in fact, any woman who has
her dignity to preserve should watch
carefully every eighth of an inch that
a dressmaker is taking off the hem.
After the length of the skirt is de-
cided, pay attention to the length of
the coat, also to it's flare. While the
long coat with its circular peplum is
assuredly the most fashionable, there
are many types of short skirts that are
in style. There is a revival of the old
fashioned covert cloth coat with many
seams at the back, cut away in the
front. with high turnover collar; it is
worn with plaid skirt of brown and
yellow or a skirt of it's own fabric
There is Callot model made of this
ribbed cloth which is having a good
deal Of success.
The best reason against giving a
high price for a coat suit this winter
is that a one-piece gown is the de-
sired garment for all indoor occasions.
Time was when the jacket and skirt
with different blouses served for all
the day hours, no matter whether or
not the occasion was social. but ,this
winter the elaborate one-piece frock is
decidedly the choice for any indoor

BEWARE OF EXTREMES
AVERAGE WOMAN MUST USE
CARE IN PURCHASING.
Costumes That May Be the Height Of
Style Mot Certain to Suit Every
body-About the One
Piece Suit.

II a woman cannot go about with a
well-filled purse or an elastic charge
account, she might have the one-piece
frocks made at home. or by the little
dressmakers who are becoming scarce
since the large shops throw out such a
vast number OF ready-to-wear clothes
at small prices.
She alone can be the Judge OF what
style OF suit is the best TO buy. but she
must beware OF the overlong coat and
the overlong skirt. If the skirt were
narrow. the silhouette would be ex-
actly the same as 1t has been for five
months with the long plated tunic
over narrow underskirt; but the
arbiters OF fashion have widened the
hem and taken the width from, the
hips, and eliminated drapery and given
us a straight line from the nape OF
our neck to the turn OF our heel
broken only below the knees.
The dictum that calls for a very
short walking skirt is being widely
followed and IL is a convenient and
comfortable fashion, but il can be over
done in conspicuous way. A woman
with gray hair and large hips looks al
her worst in a skirt cut off at her shoe
tops. no matter whether her ankles
are well covered with smart shoes OF
not. The thin. angular woman should
be careful about the length of her

women, there is a huge jade jar by
the side of the tea table. And this
jar is almost filled with beads of every

she dips her hand into the jar, fills
ii with beads, looks at them, and lets
them slip through her fingers.
IL is lots of fun, say the French

HUSBAND LOSES FIGHT
Esta Bunch Granted Divorce From
Delbert Bunch.

Although a strenuous fight was
made by Delbert Bunch to prevent a
divorce being granted his wife. Esta,
in the superior court Monday, Judge
Vernon Van Fleet found for the plain
tiff, allowing absolute divorce and re-
storing her maiden name, Esta Long.
The trial consumed the entire day, a
number of witnesses being produced
by both sides. 1t was alleged by the
plaintiff that Bunch was accustomed
to becoming intoxicated on an average
of twice a week and returning home
late at nights The defense attempted
to prove that the divorce was insti-
gated by the girls parents. alleging
that they had asserted that she would
be disinherited if she continued to live
with her husband.
