Dye Before You Patc,,.

Never patch garment just before It
goes to the dyers," was the advice Of a
young woman In dyeing establish
ment. Unless the patch and the thread
1t IS sewed on with are exactly thesame
kind of material as the garment they
will come out Of the dye pot different
shades. Here Is blue skirt that was
brought to us cream coloied. The cloth
had worn through In several places.
and the owner had patched the tiny
holes SO painstakingiy that the patches
could not be detected In the original
color. but after the dyeing they show
ed up darker blue. The amount Of
dye any material will take depends
upon how much cotton. wool or silk 1t
contains. 1t is so hard to determine
that exactly that any garment that has
to be mended can be- matched much
better after dyeing. New York Sun

Harrigan, standing in the wings iii

had just one thought They'll Kill,

dead silence fell upon the house. Not
hand moved for him. The audience
was tense with emotion, and there
was only an instant to act If the play
was to be saved. d
Harrigan, big, kindly, good looking,
came swiftly down to the front and
stepped over the footlight gutter, lean
ing down to them. "For the love Of

At once, the house was caught and

BALLET DANCED, TONED DOWN.

cussed "Scheherazade," which was the
second ballet objected to by the police
and one OF those ordered toned down
by Magistrate McAdoo. Was produced to
another sold out house. Enough changes
had been made In the action OF the
piece to satisfy those who had COM
plained about its alleged immortality.
Since II was the last perform ance OF

more complaints will be made against

however, was still in no calm frame Of

his remarks about the lack OF appre-
