Loving Cup Farewell
Token to Miss Jewel

With masses of American Beauty
roses sent her by her friends serving as
background. Izetta Jewel made her
final bow to the patrons of the Poll
Players last evening and this morning
starts on an autoombile tour of Virginia
as the beginning OF a long vacation.
The final appearance of Mss Jewel last
e, cnng was the occasion for an un-
usual demonstration on the part of the
great mass of people who have beCOrIe
very partial to the capable Young
actress. The house was packed to the
doors. and at the conclusion of the
second act Miss Jewel was literall,-
buried under an avalanche of flowers
that descended upon her. The leading
woman lost some of the poise and pres
cnCc of mind for which she has become
noted when Miss Louise Kent. the sole
surviving member of the original cont
pany of Poll Players here. presented
her with a beautiful silver and cut
glass loving cup. suitably inscribed. as
a parting gift from the members of the
COMPANY the orchestra. and the hons"
forces OF the theater. The leading lady
made a pretty little speech of farewell.
which was supplemented by Il short ad-
dress from Manager James Thatcher.

turn to New York from the Texas
trip. admitted one thing-that in
New York all the women look alike
in dress-that they are all striving
for the same effect.
The reason for this is that in New
York the women go to the theater
TO get their styles from the actresses.
While this may not be a literal fact
it is generally true. The women of
the stage set the pace and the women
of the homes follow.
When some popular actress appears
in a style that strikes the atten-
ton, therefore, most of the women
in the city will strive to adopt that
style to their curves, color, and tenn
permanent. And the result is a same
ness.
In Washington. on the other hand.
the variety Of dress is as wide as the
variety of women folks one meets.
And in the absence of garish restaur-
ants in which to display their charm
Ing creations, the women of Wash
ington go to the matinee and after
the matinee on parade along he
street.
Reverse of New York.
So it might be said that Washing
ton is the reverse of New York
that while in the big city the women
go to the theater to take their styles
from the actresses. here the actresses
might take their styles from the au-
dience.
OF course, the women of Washing
ton get suggestions from the stage as
to some of the things they wear,
but at the vaudeville houses, the
stock theaters, and the regular
places of amusement, the woman in
Washington shows an originality
that is displayed nowhere else. and
fashions her gowns for the purpose
of enhancing her beauty rather than
simply fashioning a gown With the
styles of the whole world to pick
from, it is not odd. therefore, that
the real native of the District should
fare forth to seek afternoon enter
tainment garbed beyond the dream
of the average resident Of elsewhere.
And, therefore, it is not stretch
Ing truth to anywhere near the limit
of it's tensile strength. to declare
that should Paris be relieved of the
worries of fashion long enough, the
elite of the world will have become
great Rue de Ia PaiX- While clothes
do not make the woman, the woman
who makes the clotheS-or wears
them-has inherited a tendency to
lead them out for public inspection
from the immortal afternoon when
the late Mrs. Eve Adam discovered
the utility of the fig leaf. And in
Washington she takes them to the
matinee.
