WONDERLAND.

If you want to laugh and laugh real
hearty, see the new show which opens
today at Wonderland. Room 23" is
the title of the funniest comedy seen
in a long time, and it is comedy Of the
biff-bing- bang style. If you want to
take the pains to count the laughs that
you will get in this show. you will find
that they are coming faster than a
mile a minute. 1t is rather hard to
describe the whole action of the play;
1t is all about a hotel which has been
inherited by the porter and the bell
boy, who are trying to follow the In
struCtions of their deceased boss. and
they are doing ii with rather COM
plicating results. The most notable
feature Of this bill however, is the
imitation of Charlie Chaplin. which
will undoubtedly be much appreciated
by the movie fans. II is said to be
astoundingly true to the famous
Essanay comedian. The chorus and
quartet numbers are again of the
catchy kind and all in all more
enjoyable entertainment can hardly
be imagined. Remember Room 23"
at the Wonderland at the usual prices.

FOUR YEARS FOR A LIFE

! No. TIA had caught meaning glanc-
es from the convicts as they filed into
the foundry. He knew their meaning;
for weeks a revolt had been brewing
and, strangely enough, this time the
guards had no inkling of it. The Sc
cret had been well kept.
No. TIA was in for 20 years, and he
had served 16. At any time now he
might be paroled by the pardons
board. But the spirit of freedom was
strong in him. He had long since
ceased to reason, to be much more
than a dumb brute. He knew the
odds were fearfully against him. But
outside the sun was shining, and
the birds were building. A mad hun
ger for freedom assailed him.
Only one man in the foundry was
ignorant of what was transpiring.
That was little 1927, a boy of 20,
serving life sentence for the muir
der of the man who had insulted his
sweetheart. He had been there only
six months. No. TIA could read him
like book. He knew the sudden out
breaks of frenzy, the hopelessness,
the longing to see the girl, the ce1-
tainty that she would forget him as
life increased and memories grew
fainter Poor little 1927!
The hardened men in the foundry
could not trust the boy. The plot had
been matured long ago. There was
a tense expectancy as they turned to
their work at the glowing FORCES.
The signal was to be the opening
of the outer gates to admit the pass

BE CORDIAL


 TT is a great mistake to assume stiff
 or formal manner when introduced to another, as the latter will be apt to feel -hurt or snubbed A lady should always. be gracious, but not effusive. She should maintain a certain reserve, since she is dealing with a person who is stranger, although in time she may become friend When man is in troduced to a lady it is not necessary for her to rise or to shake hands un- less there is some special reason for so doing.
 A lady always rises when another woman is presented to her. It is not necessary for her to shake hands, how ever. unless she wishes to be very cor dial. It is the lady's privilege to offer her hand, although if she sees that the man has his hand extended she usually takes it to save him feeling of awl1- wardness. Older women. like young people, usually shake hands when young girls are presented to them. and it is kind to do so.
 At receptions and balls the hostesses receive the guests with courtesy, shaking hands only with their friends While this method of receiving is sometimes adopted at private houses, on a very formal occasion, as a rule the hostess shakes hands with all the guests in her own home. This form of greeting is essential to true hospi- tality

CHILD N'EL.FAR
 NOTES

1TNFdEs characteristics thing about the
 conduct of child that is fla ugued" is his lack of concentration. This shows itself not only in the rapid shifting of interest and activity, but also in the inability to attend consecu- lively to conversation or study, and in school 1t is one of the common causes of fnattention The connection be- tween fatigue and this shiftiness or in- attention lies in the fact that the child has lost the ability to resist impulses livery sensation, every suggestion, ev- cry thought that pops into his head irn- pels him to a new line of action. and he is too feeble to do anything but to obey the impulse.
 We know that the trained person, tks esabie< person is just the one who se-. iects what sights and what sounds he will attend to. what impulses he will obey and what ones he will ignore. To make this selection requires experience, and a large part Of our training con- ststs of training in this kind of selec- tion- Moreover. the selection requires energy. and this the overfatigned child cannot command
 Certain types of children are much more likely than others to acquire thfa state of chronic fatigue. The very sen- s1E1ve child is most likely of all to de- ve1Up the condition, because here every sensation starts an impulse that either produces some muscular action or stretches the muscles without leading to any obvious movements. In either case the muscles are actually expendi1ig energy in a way that contributes to the fatigue Not only impulses that come from the outside through the senses, but the wanderings of his own imagina- tion, are likely to start muscular con- fractions that add to the fatigue with out seeming to produce any real work.

set out at the headquarters for sales.
 Recently throngs of appreciative women patronized this remarkable sale displayed and draped at the store of B. Altman & Co, New York where one could buy a little wisp of a handker- chief with dainty bruges lace edge for $2.5o or pay as much as $125 for a square of linen with a mechlin border fine as any cobweb.
 As one lacenaker can make but one thing, 1t is evident that where there are two or three kinds of lace in one piece it must have travelled from place to place, Perhaps a flower came from one village. some rich embroidered cor ner from another village, Still another worker furnished the beautiful fauns and fairies in the center. It is more than likely that the workers on this one piece were white haired old women The fine work comes from their in- stinct, even though their eyesight is all but gone and their hands trernble with the palsy Their one design has grown to be the vital part of them.

ag ag HOW TO DO sr1OCKInIG ag sg

SINCE shocking is so much used at
 present a few words as to how to
 do the work will not be out of place It is not as difficult to learn as is gem orally supposed, little patience and certain aptitude for needlework being all that is necessary. It is possible to make very unusual and pretty dresses without any knowledge of cutting and fitting when fullness is required. ts Crossbarred diEnity is the best to be- gin on. as the lines are great help in preparing the work for shocking. There should be about three spaces to an inch The part to be smocked must first be gathered into tucks of even size with black thread After some practice these spaces can be measured with the eye. but at first the cross- barred or dotted material is a great help and time saver. After gathering with strong black thread as many rows half an inch apart as will cover the space that is to be smoclzed the garment is ready for the actual shocking.
 Mercerized floss in medium weight in double thread is the best cotton to use The twisted cotton single is also eff fective for coarse work. This floss holds it's color and comes in attractive shades. The stitches are made very much like the featherstitch and have the same number of variations. The featherstftch is done toward the sewer, whereas shocking is worked away from the sewer. Every time new stitch is taken one picks up a tuck previously made by the black bastings.c After some practice it will be easy to pick up just the right amount of material from each tuck, but everything depends upon the evenness of the spacing in the beginning. The different stitches are made by chang ing the thread from one side of the needle to the other, just as in feather stitching. The combination of stitches with themselves and with each other is so endless that no two garments need ever be alike, and the combining of colors and materials makes this work very fascinating. The simplest stitch is like the ordinary outline, the thread never changing from the side of the needle and going straight ahead. picking up a new tuck with each stitch. This stitch is best used where the work is to be held closely together. especially at the neck.
 It is possible to buy patterns for sm locked dresses for adults and chil- dren. It should also be noted that shocking will take two and a half times as much material as will appear when the work is done-that is. In orr
