 Benjamin Butler Armstrong, Jo- siah' S adopted son, was assumed by that worthy amateur, Sid Villines. Nothing was lacking in Sid's imitation of the awkward country boy, who for the first time visits the great city of New York
 'Jimimy Armstrong, Josiah wife, was represented by Mrs. Bedding, in manner that elicited much merriment. The lady is favorite in any role she may undertake
 Wellington Armstrong, the veal thy New York broker and brother of Josiah, was played by Ira Gurley, who did credit to the play and preserved the dignity of the Armstrong house. hold.

 A wealthy broker and villain was Mir. William Leblanc" To repre- sent this character. Roy Kirkpatrick was selected, and notwithstanding Roy's usual sunny disposition he acted the cold calculating man, who for the greed of gold cared not what means he employed to obtain it.
 Mrs. Louie CoXsey, as Edith Le Blance," |" daughter of Wm. Le Blanc, was most charmingly rendered by her.
 Hiram Penstroke," Wellington Armstropg's secretary and confidential man, was carried out in a avery dignified manner by Adrain Firestone, who re- ceived his share of praise
 Harry Newcomb, the young author, was the part of Will Coxsey, who also acted his part well.

Fashion has approved, year in and
year out, the one-piece frock for the
young girl, and this piece of good judg-
menti is more than exOnerated. 1t has
resulted in cleverly designed dresses
that conceal the angles of the miss
who has arrived at the awkward age.
And now her elders are about to take
advantage of the gracefulness of the
one-piece frock, for the mode demands
this style for everybody-young or old
whose figure will allow it.
The dress for a miss of twelve or
more years shown In the picture, is of
serge and might be made of any other
cloth of about the same weight and
texture. A dress Of this kind is sup

was not like Lieutenant Baum to fail
one like that. And he gurgled few
throaty German words in his surprise.
There seemed nothing to do then but
assume the task himself-the duty OF
examining his prisoner, for so he re-
garded the interested Mr.. Brown, who
was already making mental notes of
the proceedings. which Nhe intended to
use for the establishment of the sto-

Charlie had paused just inside the
door through which he had entered the
room. And now the sergeant beck

At that peremptory command Mr..
Brown regarded him with mild sur
prise and a total lack of comprehen-
sion. But the sign language was plain
enough So Charlie drew near to that

"Was thust du hier?" Sergeant
Schmidt demanded fiercely.
Mr.. Brown appeared to consider him
a huge joke. At least he glanced past
his frowning interrogation at Hans and
Otto and laughed outright.

she had drawn forth small gold
medal, which hung upon q ribbon
about her neck.
He looked at 1t closely, for Lieu

when he had satisfied himself. ''Your

She acknowledged his apology with

manner:

Smiling happily. Ethel left him. She
congratulated herself. both because she

was so vital to the French.

young German officer smiled likewise.
