LEADING MAN COMING
 TO LYCEUM, PRAISED

The Hamilton Herald' few weeks ago in reviewing Eugene Wal ter's "Fine Feathers said Alfred Cross as Bob Reynolds" (The Rob- ert Edison part) gave sterling per- formance. His transitory flight from the honorable young chemist to the grief-stricken, half mad drunkard, was masterly piece of acting and The Hamilton Spectator last week I'll writing about "Too Many Cooks" said Alfred Cross was particularly good as Albert Bennett and his com edy playing was grisp, natural and wholly enjoyable. That the papers of the Canadian city agreed on MT. Cross'' rendition of his role in Under Cover" in which he opens his engage ment on Xmas afternoon at the Ly- ceum theater, can be proved by the following extracts from the Dominion cities leading journals. The Specta- tor said Alfred Cross as Stephen Denley' of the U. s. Secret Service had the big role of the play.'' while ' The Herald" stated that Alfred Cross as Stephen Denley," gave a powerful interpretation. This pop,1- lar young leading man with the ut most care goes on week after week running the gamut of drama and farce"

Really, I can hardly wait for New Years Eve to come, so that I can wear my new masquerade costume. It is most effective, and I feel quite proud, as it was all my own concep- tion. The short-waisted bodice is of white velvet, outlined in rhinestones, which are also used for shoulder straps. The skirt ends just below the knees, and is composed of many ragged skirts. one over the other, on which are sewed all sizes of balls made of cotton wood. My slippers and stockings and white with big balls on the toes. and on either hand, fas- tened to a ring on my middle finger, will be another cotton ball. My hair will be powdered white, and loops of rhinestones will hold in place a ! little white plume. Just before the dance I shall have Christmas-tree snow sprinkled all over me. The name of my costume is "The Spirit of the Snow-Ball."

In a magazine article I read re. gently of the need of encouraging 6 child's imagination. 1t interested me very much; I have since wondered ii some effort could not be made at the same time to encourage a sympathetic imagination.
 Lack of sympathy isn't half so apt to be due to cold-heartedness or pure callousness as it is to the lack of the power to link up sympathy with imagination. A person may have some sympathy and some imagination, but the two qualities simply don't work in unison.
 I have in mind a professor who among other things, conducts a course in English for professional writers. A great many people who think they have a tendency, if not an absolute talent, in this direction, join the class in the hope that they may profit. Among these are d great many women who have nothing more to recommend them than the desire to write. Their plots are threadbare, their phrases, echoes.
 He Played Her Unmercifuliy.
 The professor reads some of the manuscripts submitted to him aloud to the members of the course. heard him read one of these. 1t was a pitiful piece of work. The profes- sor flayed it unmercifully. He used sarcasm, ridicule-all the weapons at his command.
 I imagine that, taxed with lack of sympathy, he would have said that the woman who wrote it would never write and that she had better turn her energy toward something else .. Also that the sooner she knew this and the more forcibly it was put tc her. the better 1t would be for her And he would probably have main

It is not bad idea for the house. wife to have in each room of her house a piece of unfinished sewing or knitting. This may be gracefully done bv making pretty little workbag which can hang on the hack of a chair. the corner of the bookcase, or mantelpiece in each room. This is convenient and at the same time adds a pretty touch of color to tie room.

 ss51 (WiM Blasting Line and Added Scan AUoaUance) Two-Piece Skirt, "A
 to 34 waist.
 This is a suit that shows the very newest and most interesting features of the sea- son. In the picture, it is made of lawn colored broadcloth with trimming of blue fox fur. It is very beautiful cos tune and a very smart one, and it also may be added that it is very simple one and easy to make, for the coat consists of only blouse to which the circular peplum is attached. The skirt is made in two pieces and is semi-circular in shaping. No garments could be easier to handle and it would be impossible to find anything smarter or handsonler in effect As matter of course, the costume. could be copied in great many different materials, in velvet or in velveteen, in silki and in satin and in the satin-c1oth as we'll as in plain broadcloth and also in the rough-fnished suiting materials that are such favorites with the younger con- tingent.
 For the medium size will be needed for the coat, AS yds. of material 36 in. wide. 31s yds. A, 5 yds. 54, with Az yds. of fur banding. It can be buttoned up closely as it is here or rolled open to form deep revers. For the skirt will be needed, 3A yds. of material 36 in. wide, 2K yds. either A or 54 in. wide. ..:
 The coat pattern No. S871 is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ in. bust measure; the skirt pattern No. ss51 is cut in sizes from 24 to 34 in.. waist measure. They will be mailed to any addrea; by the Fashion Department of this paper, cn receipt of ten cents for each.

tained stoutly that he was syInp thetic and advanced illustrations to prove his contention.
 It Meant So Much Loving Effort.
 The truth is that he has both sym pathy and imagination, but he has not a sympathetic imagination. The poor as it was, repre- sented loving, hopeful effort on some woman's part. She had handed it in fearing for its faults, anx- ious for constructive criticism and, perhaps a word of encouragement.
 What happened? She sat there heartsick, while the pro- lessor ridiculed the phrases she had toiled over, satirized the situations she had believed dramatic and worth while.
 The truth should not have been withheld from her. But could it not have been conveyed to her gently, sym pathetically, in a note returned with the manuscript, To me the whole proceeding seemed a mon- strous piece of cruelty. While a nun dred people laughed, some wonkan under the lash-although she probably managed a smile too. He Couldn't Put Himself In Her
 Place.
 This is but one of the many ways in which a man or women who lacks imagination may wound others. The professor simply couldn't imagine himself in the wnman's in his imagination, see how he would feel is he were ehe, sx-x l. l. laughed at and held up to scorn.
 Sympathy by itself is quite like ly to be blind; it needs the imagina- tion to give it eyes.

| FEMININE FANCIES
AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

There is always room in a girls sum-
mer wardrobe for the quaint, dainty
little frocks designed especially for
her needs, of which the illustrated
model is an exceptionally pretty ex-
ample. 1t is fashioned from white net
and azure blue taffeta, and also may
be made up in other materials, One of
the rose-sprigged pompadour taffetas
would be very sweet combined with
chiffon or net, or else the entire dress
might be of taffeta.
In this case the pale blue taffeta
makes the little peasant bodice and
dulating line around the hips. Very
used in the fashioning of the small
bowknots and festooned loops that
trim the bottom of the skirt above
succession of narrow net ruffles. Mar
row ribbon can be used, If preferred,
but it should be taffeta ribbon and
match exactly the blue of the bodice.
The skirt is very full, with a close
line of gathers all around the waist. 1t
can have an underskirt of net, or
simply b" worn over crepe de chine
or net petticoat.
The blouse, TOO. is of net, gathered
around the neck and sleeves, then given
flaring Priscilla" cuffs and collar of
sheer mousselne de sole.
The bodice is rounded out quite ex-
pansively in front. but the curve across
the back is shallow, with the upper
edge fared on the shoulder seams to

wearing some extra wrap about the
shoulders. In nine cases out of ten

Frippery Is Decoy.
However, the fashion of putting some
bit of frippery around the shoulders is
a subtle decoy. which leads us into the
habit of wanting it without our realiz-

thing fluffy around the throat is be-
coming frame to MANY faces and gives
an added touch of elegance to almost
any costume. So it is not strange to
see these tempting little wraps contin-
ued into the dog days by being made
of light materials like tulle and chif-
fon.
The last time that these frivolities
were fashiona' lie they were like huge
Pierrot ruches of malines in black,
white and pale colors. and were as
frail and perishable as sea foam. This
time they are apt to be in the form of

>c!al Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2-It is natural
enough that the dropped shoulder he
should claim attention at this season.
1t has been in and out of fashion
steadily for a hundred years. Women
with pretty shoulders encourage it, and
coquettes. from Becky Sharp's day to
this, have enjoyed the chance to shrug
one dimpled shoulder out of a gown in
a manner peculiarly captivating in
novels.
Last year it was impossible for the
most hardened and unrelenting hear,-
breaker to employ this well known
gesture among her battery of charms.
because bodices had nothing to shrug
out of, and could not be made more re-
vealing without shocking the proprie-
ties Unfortunately. You cannot shrug
away a chain of pearls if your reputa-
ton hangs upon ii, and many evening
gowns had nothing else in the way of
shoulder coverings last year.
But we have grown prudish again:
prudent. some might call it, and the
decolletage of our dancing frockS is
modest once more. Daytime collars are
often high or cut out only as far as
the collar bone, and not only is this
true, but We have taken to fur neck
pieces. shoulder capes. boas and ruches
again. which wrap securely around our
throats to the chin.
Watch Home Fashions.
In the absence of much data from
Paris about the modification and in
diyiduai adjustment of the new modes,
public gatherings in this country
where the sartorially and socially i'm
portant are sure to appear have been
watched with more than usual interest.
Which of the new fashions would the
bearers Of the leading names choose
from all the offerings of the season?
An innovation for this country was
the presence at the races in May and
June Of manikins from the big
dressmakers, exploiting In true Paris,
versions of the modes. The weather
at these early meetings was surpris.
