Any man who has a fear that one of these women who are claiming mans prerogatives will claim. another and propose to him can dismiss the fear and cheer up. The feminists aren't going to pop the question, not at least, the feninists who follow Mrs Charlotte Perkins Gilman. In her lec- ture at the Hotel Astor, New York, Wednesday, the fifth in her course on .Masculism," Mrs. Gilman declared that the new woman would not pro- pose.
 'It is eternally unnecessary for woman to propose marriage she said. ''She can manage it without that. The woman of today is not lacking in her sex's prerogative of passive attraction, and the woman of the future isn't likely to lose it.
 But as women get better and wiser, the lecturer said. they are going to discriminate more and more in exer- cising that passive attraction. There will be a large crop of bachelors, un- less men improve.
 ''As soon as we women wake up to our real duty as mothers she ob- served, i've will consider whether 2 man is fit to be father, and reject him if he isn't up to the mark. We aren't going to accept the damaged goods that women too often take in the marriage market now. There will

DANCING PLEASES
 AT KEENEY'S THEATER

None of the acts at Keeney's this week give as much genuine pleasure as the novel dancing specialties in which the Dancing Smiths and LOT raine and Lorraine are introduced. Contrasting strongly with each other these acts demonstrate the two most popular types of terpsichorean effort, the Texas Tommy and other num- bers almost acrobatic in character as presented by the Smiths, and the maxixe, tango, hesitation and similar ball room favorites. Both acts are artistic and the performers show con- siderable grace in going through the intricate varia tions of each num- Der. Lovers of dancing should not miss these acts. They are instructive as we'll as entertaining.
 Cleverness of an unusual degree is exhibited by the Two Franks, pair of aerobatic wonders, who are first on the bill. Their work is remark ably clever and the originality dis played in every trick gets them addi- tional praise. Their act is excep- tionally we'll staged and the setting used is quite attractive.
 Paul Folrius, the xylophone king, has to respond with encores at every performance. Paul gives concert that is most pleasing and the audi- ence applauds him liberally. His play ing of Dancing Around' and other rags as we'll as classical pieces shows his versatility and his mastery of the instfum ent which he uses.

In the picture it is made of two materials but the model can of course be used for one throughout with color appropriate, and, if a simpler dress is wanted, the founce or upper skirt can be omitted. Both skirts are circular and they are joined to the long waisted blouse by means of a belt. The dress is closed at the center back

NEXT LYCEUM PLAY
 HAS STIRRING SCENE

The last matinee performance Of Caught in the Rain,'' will be given by the Lyceum Players at the Lyceum, Saturday, tomorrow afternoon. Au- diences present at performances dur ing the week have been very compH- mentary in their references to effects produced in the first act The scene represents a street in Denver, Colo. A storm develops suddenly and out of the incident grows the action of this very clever comedy. There IS a wealth of farcical fun in the lines and the story is very interesting. The cast this week brings out Miss Brow nell, who made many friends in her short stay here few weeks previous
 The attraction next week will be The Ninety and Nine.' This play will afford d fine opportunity for Miss Skirvin. She will present the char acter of a young woman who is aid ing in bringing about the redemption of a young man who nearly goes aground in a fit of despondency. The raising of him up is the element which appeals so strongly and makes for this play it's big success. The action transpires in the Hoosier state and the characters are principally of plain. simple folks of the country. One of the big elements in the popularity of '''The Ninety and Nine'' is the spec tacular effect produced by depicting a race through a raging forest or prairie fire by the hero running a locomo- tive.

FEARFUL HUm0R
 COVERED FACE-
 RESIN0L CURED

Paterson, N. J., Dec. g, 1913: "About year ago my face began to crack and get scaly in blotches. It soon got worse and my face was all spotted and rough, and it itched me very much at night, and caused me no end of discom- fort. After month or 50, pimples and blackheads began to show, first in small numbers and then gradually covering my entire face. It was awful. The pimples were sore and the rash was itchy and my face had most un- slightly appearance. I could get no relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint- ment caused me instant relief. By the time another jar of Resinol Ointment and cake of Resinol Soap were gone, l can truthfully say that it was a com plete cure. My face had assumed it's former color and looks, due to Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment. They are, I think, the best for any skin trouble" fSigned) Robert Troyano, 269 E. 21st Street.

provided that before funds already contributed to the George Washing ton memorial are diverted to the pro- posed Star Spangled Banner memo rial the consent of contributors shall be obtained. Mrs. Whitney Said, in support of the resolution, that the Daughters fund for the room has grown slowly, in fact contributions to date total only $510 from eight states.
 The Banner memorial would cost $500 and the balance after diverting the $51O which would be on hand by reason of the offer of the New York chapter could be secured by a fifty cent per capita tax on members in states which have not already con- tributed to the room fund.

Narrow drawers are the preferred ones Just now for the young girls, for they give straight, close lines and are always com fortable. These can be finished with frills at their lower edges or they can be curved at the sides and embroidered in some simple, pretty design. In the picture. scallops and dots are used, and that treatment is much in vogue, while the finish is suggestive of the fine Frenc! underwear that is so much liked. The drawers are perfectly simple, gathered, and joined to wristbands, while the! closing is made at the sides, Batiste andi aainsook continue to be favorite materials! for underwear, but some girls like crepe de chine, and the silk and cotton muslins gre used. .s
