the lumber of women who order bills

buy. we will say, three gowns, but
they order a bill sent to their hus-

three they did not buy. Or they ask
friend to buy gowns and have them
charged to their account and col

Scarcely a dressmaker is there
who does not overcharge in her

SPOOKS CHASE INDIANS AND
Jap GIRLS ACROSS STREET

| the cooperation of the amateur per-
formers that every command is
obeyed, and believe us it takes di-
bunch of amateurs, especially one
numbering 700, none of whom receive
a single cent for their work.
As told in yesterdays Evening Star
the performers have been SO well
drilled that the performance moves
along like a professional production.
The writer witnessed part of last
nights performance from behind the
scenes and was amazed by the
able manner in which the big cast
was handed. Each of the 20 or more
groups is headed by a leader and this
leader is responsible for all of the
performers in that particular group
being on the stage and ready for
their entrance five minutes before
the cue calling them before the foot
lights is reached.
When their turn is over the group,
still headed by the leader. leaves the
wings for dressing rooms either in
the theatre or in the Public Service
room in order to make room for the
other groups that are TO follow.
Everything is so well systemized that
there is no crowding or confusion.
1t is wonderful piece of work this
handling of 700 amateurs trained
only for five weeks, so that they are
able to get on and off the stage with
out getting into most wonderful mix
ups Great credit is due Wade Davis
as director. and diminutive Clark
Mays, as stage manager.

A stranger In town happening to
be in the vicinity of Broad and Full
ton streets and Central avenue any
night this week between the hours
of 1880 and 1880 o'clock will think he
has wandered into the strangest town
| he was ever in.
For he is liable to see dashing Wild
ly across Broad street a dainty little
Japanese girl chased by an Indian in
full panoply, or mayhap it will be a
scared little Buster Brown with big
spook all CARRIED in white after him:
or he may see one or a couple of
/ dozen strangely appareled people
come out of the old Public Service
Corporation office and hustle across
Broad street guarded at all times by
big husky police officers.
If the strangers interest is aroused
he will follow one of the strangely
attired persons and see them disap-
pear into the stage door of the Shu-
bert Theatre, and then the mystery
is solved. For the people are a part
of the 700 amateur performers taking
part in THE College Hero" the mag
nificent spectacular production that

week for the benefit of the Babies

and not for such large casts as are
required in 1.-THE College Hero" there
is not room in the theatre for all of
the participants to dress So the en-
tire third floor of the old Public Ser
vice building has been pressed into
service as dressing rooms and about
500 of the performers dress there and
then wend their way across Broad
street and down Fulton street to the
stage door of the theatre.
The rain that fell for some time
while the performance was on last
night made the use of the distant
dressing rooms inconvenient, but the
amateur performers took it all as a
part of their plunge into stage life
and made the best of it.
The problem of enough dressing
room is only one of many that con-

Self-Destruction, Learns

PATTERSON, Jan. 21.-Judge Abram
Cohen's newly organized Anti-Suicile
Association is a success. Although
the society has been in existence less
than week, the judge reported yes
terday that several lives had been
saved, or, rather that several des-
pondent people had been shown that
there were better things in life than
they had yet experienced. He has
received a number of letters from all
parts of the country asking for adj
vice on the suicide question.
Yesterday the judge received a
communication from lady residing
in Asbury Park. She felt that all
the good things of life were beyond
her reach and that the only way out
was self-destruction. The judge i'm
mediately dictated a letter that was
calculated to show her that her con-
victions are far from right and that
If she holds on a while longer every
thing will brighten up and she will
see the Silver lining" to her CLOUD"
Enclosed in the letter to the young
lady was a membership card to the
