AN ECCENTRIC RUSSIAN
zaharin Was Clever Doctor, but He
Had Funny WAYS

DR.. laharin was one of the most ia.
nous as he was also the most eccentric
of physicians in Russia.
Even when he was summoned TO at
tend Car Alexander Ill in his last
illness DR.. Zaharin required the same
preparation for his visit to the impe-
rial palace as to any of his less exalted
patients homes-that is to say. all
dogs had to be kept out of the way, all
clocks stopped and every door thrown
wide open,
Following process of gradual un-
dressing, he left his furs in the hall,
his overcoat in the next room, his rub
bers in the third and, continuing, ar
rived at the bedside in ordinary in
door costume. This was only one phase
of DIR. Zaharin s golden theory that
you should take rest before you
are tired Accordingly he sat down
after walking every few yards and
every eight steps in going upstairs.
From the patients relatives and ev-
cry one else in the house he required
absolute silence until he spoke to them,
when his questions had to be answered
by g Yes or "No' and nothing more.
TO the actual patient, however, he was
courtesy and consideration in the high.

teers.' The members of the act are all
singers of rare talent and their united
efforts in some of the latest song hits
are simply taking audiences by storm.
The act also contains some rich and
novel comedy. Just how the comedy sit
uations are brought out, must not be
told here, for the act of "The Volun-
teers'' is surprise turn. Its comedy
is interesting and the vocal efforts of
the company are exquisite. While the
Orpheum' bill this week is excellently
balanced, its greatest asset is the
abundance of rich comedy that pre-
dominates throughout the bill with the
exception of the opening act. In this
respect sunshinny Emma Carus, late
star of "A Broadway Honeymoon,
and a celebrated musical comedy star,
is the big leader.
The song, dance and comedy turn
that she and Carl Randall are present
ing at the Orpheum this week is prov
ing just as popular in Harrisburg as it
did on Broadway, and those who follow
ed her success while in New York, will
admit that is some. Bert Ftzgibbons is
unloading his knapsaek Of "nutty''
talk to the unadulterated delight of
everybody. Bert you could stick around
at the Orpheum more weeks than one
and still keep them laughing. Then
there is the yelling Levering troupe

Plaid fabrics are having n renewed
vogue in Paris, although they are con-
sidered novelty rather than staple
fabric. Black is naturally very stylish,
as would be expected when one thinks
that all France is in mourning. White
evening coats are considered very fash
ionable; also coats of white serge and
gabardine for the separate coat. Black
and white combined is also very good
and largely featured, and in its train
purple and gray-in fact, all the mourn
ing and semi mi-mourning colors-are
having vogue which they will prob
ably not have until another war.
New uniforms have been made for
the French soldiers of new shade of
blue; naturally that means it is i'm
mediately copied for costumes for wom-
en-. This color, together with the
phaki-colored field cloth, are used ex-
tensively for tailored costumes, espe-
cially if they follow ever so slightly
the tendency toward the military.
Red also military color, but in a
new brick shade, il being used great
deal, while the national colors of Bel
giunl-red, yellow and black-are be-
ing combined again and again into
frocks and suits.
Small hats are the vogue in Paris
They are loved too well by the Pa
risians to be quickly discarded. Trig
little hats of oilcloth to match cuffs
and belt are worn extensively with
tailored suits. The small hats entirely
covered with flowers are used for more
elaborate occasions. Tailored hats are
being trimmed with ribbons of large
plaid, as well as in black and white
faille ribbons, and give them distinct
ly new look.
Large hats are slowly creeping into
view, and will, no doubt, hold the peo'
pie for summer, especially the old-time
shape trimmed with flowers and velvet
ribbon streamers.

have undoubtedly come to stay for a
while at least. For all that, there is
no reason why the woman with>several
long tunic skirts in her wardrobe
should be discouraged, for they have
not been discarded by any manner of
means. A number of the large French
drossmakers are using them this year
with great success and in such way
that the ingenious woman may follow
their examples with her old skirts.
For instance, the new tunic skirts
are very long, much longer than those
of last year, showing scarcely more
than one or two inches of the lower
skirt beneath but to Offset this, which
looks rather difficult when your last
season s long tunie showed at least six
inches of lower skirt, yokes are very
much the rage, and by attaching a
tunie to yoke it will be long enough
