HELP FROM CAvALIERI FOR
WOMEN WHO ARE TOO THIN

One OF the most valuable chapters in
: le Lima Cavalieri's new book Is de-
voted to an explanation % the ways by
which the woman who is too thin can
put on flesh and become pleasingly plump.
This can be accomplished. according TO
Cavalieri's advice. without injury to one S
health and without resorting to danger
Gus drugs.
Every woman" says Mime. Cavalieri,
while not desiring to be fat, wants to
possess a figure that is pleasantly round
ed Curves, for women at least. are
the lines of beauty. A man who is all
straight lines may be handsome. but no
woman who is all angles may be beau
tiful.
THE young women, and the older
women, too. who ask me, What shall
do to become pleasingly plump are
wise. For womanly lines. like a woman
ly voice, are wholly desirable
Whether a woman be fat or thin, plain
or beautiful, there's a wealth of val
liable information for every woman in
CavaIieri's new 317-page book. It's a
veritable encyclopaedia of scientific ad-
vice about the care of ope's health and
good looks. In its pages are given more
than 1000 recipes for preparations which
the famous prima donna herself uses.

WITHIN THE LAW AT BELAsco
Return Enlargement Proves It's Pop
uIarity with washingtonians.

within the Law" which came to
Washington early in the season, was
brought to the Belasco Theater last night
for a return engagement with much the
same cast that distinguished~it on Its
first presentation. 1t Is a gripping play,
one not readily forgotten by those who
closely follow its action and take the
trouble to draw from its story the OBJ
vious moral II contains. The lesson II
teaches is, first, that OF insufficient
wages for women in many OF the big
stores of cities like New York and Chicago
wages which do not enable their recip-
tents to provide themselves with even the
commonest comforts; wages so pitifully
small that they furnish the incentive to
dishonesty or a life of shame. Another
lesson Is that too often an innocent
person is condemned by court and jury
on insufficient evidence. and thus be-
comes an outcast from society, who
seeks revenge for the wrong done her
by preying upon that society whom sha
holds responsible for her downfall. In
this particular instance Mary Turner
the girl wrongfully accused OF THEFT In
her employer's store and sent to prison
for three years. gets even with the mer-
chant prince by ensnaring his only son
into marriage. She is also leagued with
several clever crooks who operate un-
der her direction, always thhinB care
to take no step that is not within the
law.
Helen Ware is the Mary Turner Of
the play. She holds the interest of her
audience from the very first entrance
to the finish The widely varying situa-
tions which the ingenuity of the woman
creates are expressed by her with con-
sumate skill, the most potent charm OF
which is its naturalness.
Frank Campeau as Joe Carson, Mary's
faithful co-worker in her nefartous un-
dertakings, invests the part with an at
tractiveness which is almost wholly due
to his personality. Beatrice Noyes as
Agnes Lynch: Emmett c. King as Ed
ward Glider. the rich merchant: Charles
White as Richard. his son, and Minnie
Gale as Fannie, are as effective now as
before in their respective parts, and all
the minor roles are filled satisfactorily.
