While in Frisco, it became known among hCrticulturists that Mr. Weber was interested in that field in Alaska, and he was immediately deluged With invitations to visit private gardens as well as the greenhouses where rIowers are raised for the market.
 He visited the famous dahia col lection at San MateO, where oyer 700 varieties of dahlias are raised some O. which grow to diameter Of T inches, and here he secured some bulbs of the more rare Yari- cites, which he states he will grew this big" indicating with his hands a diameter of about 10 inch es.

The waistcoat is really an important feature of dress just now. It Is made from fancy silk and from velvet, and from satin and it often gives a new and up-to- date touch to the toilette. This one IS very easy to make, euinently becoming, and gives the very smartest features. The little pockets that are arranged over the girdle are distinctive and the high, close-htting collar that still leaves the neck open at the front, is favorte one. Here. the material is plain, but brocades are beautiful put to such use, and plain materials frequently are embroidered d, and sometimes the main portion is made ot plain material while the collar and girdle are of fancy. When very handsome ma terial is used, the back can be made of less costly lining, silk or cotton as may be liked.
 For the medium size will be required IT yards of material 27 inches wide, IA yards 3o. or yard A.
 The May Manton pattern 852o is cut fin sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

FOX PATRONS LIKE
 "STORY OF MICNON"

"Mignon." the fve-part picturiza- tion of the famous grand opera and Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister," released through the World Film corporation n with pretty, vivacious "Beatriz Niche
 lena." the celebrated prima donna playing the stellar role, was yester- day presented at FoX's, and more than kept up the standard of excellent
 photo-plays patrons of this popular
 resort have grown accustomed to see there. The entire production was
 staged in the beauty of the Califor- nia environments. and 1t is certainly masterpiece, both for excellence of story and staging. The principal
 characters have been placed most ju- diciously and in capable hands fore . most among them being Beati i2 Michelena, House Peters and Andrew Robson. Besides this excellent pro- duction the second series of The Key
 stone Remedies" in two reels, was also shown. His TrYsting Places" is an- other blues -dispeller and Fox patrons who like the long, lingering laughs should avail themselves of this oppor- tunity of having thirty minutes of good hearty laughter. Charles Chaplin. who has become an immense favCr- ite here in New Britain, since tlic showing of Dough and Dynamite" two weeks ago. Is just as funny as ever. and his antics provoke the greatest of laughter and in this two reel comedy he is seen at his best. Pretty Mabel Normand supports him in this laugh classic, as well as the other members of the Keystone cora pany. Both "MiRnon" and His Try sting Places" will also be shown to- day.
 For tomorrow and Thursday Jesse Lasl<y presents the brilliant novel and successful play, "Brewster's Millions" with Edward Abeles in his original role of Monty Brewster by Melville Stone and Winchell Smith. The pro- duction is in five parts and two hun dred big scenes, carries with it hun dreds of laughs and just few tears, and beginning with a ripple if just ends with a big roar and hurrah.
