DIACHILEFF'S
 BALLET RuSSE HERE TOMORROW
New Artists Added to Big Company of Terpsichor-
 can Specialists.

Diaghileff's Ballet Russo, which re- turns to the United States after a brilliant tour in Spain-one of the few European countries not closed by the war-has been considerably augment ed by the inclusion of new members direct from the Institut de Ballet or Petrograd. This enables still more nationalistic interpretation of those pallets which are Slavic in character, a large proportion of the repertoire
 The costuming of the Ballet has been especially prepared for the American
 tour and some of the most striking ef- fects, conceived by the master nina of Bakst, are as original as they are brilliant. These costumes possess as important an appeal to beauty lovers. as the music of Rmsky-korsakov does to musicians.
 The Diaghileff Ballet, which will be at the Park theatre Wednesday even ing, with it's complete understanding of the expression of emotion in pan tonnine, has produced what is pract1- cally a new art in America. No one who desires to keep abreast of modern movements can afford to lose the op- portunity of seeing these leading ex-
 ponents of pantomimic art. AS an in- terpreter of intensive feeling, Nijinsky is the greatest male dancer of modern times. The stately grace of Mad 1 emoiselle Revalles and the impish lightness of Lydia Lopokova give | character and charm to the respective pallets in which they appear.

UTILITIES BOARD
 DECIDES DISPUTE FOR MR. MOONEY
Arbitrary Ruling of United Illuminating Go. Is
 Over-Ridden.

After an appeal to the Public Util- ities commission, former Fire Chief Edward Mooney has demonstrated that a citizen may successfully fight an arbitrary ruling of a public service corporation on this state.
 Mr. Mooney had his garage in Will liam street wired by an electrician not employed by the United Illuminating Co. A place was designated on the main floor near the garage entrance for the meter. Superintendent Charles Paul of the United Illuminating Co. refused to allow the meter to be placed there, and said he wouldn't furnish the current unless the meter were placed in the cellar, which MT. Mooney contended was damp.
 An appeal was taken to the Utilities commission, which decided that the meter should be placed on the main floor, inasmuch as MT. Mooney was a patron of the company, provided it were not the subject to great changes of temperature.

PRICE OF MUSHROOMS
 SCARS IN GERMANY

Berlin, Nov. 14.-For no explain able reason except speculation mush- rooms have scared in price to such a height that the authorities are being called on to step in, establish maxi mum prices, or take some similar measure to keep them within reach of the common people.
 This season mushrooms are so plentiful that the price paid by the wholesaler to those who gather them ranges from 30 to 40 pfennigs a pound. Even at this low rate, fam flies during the summer made from 80 to 100 marks a day by making excursions into the country and pick ing as many mushrooms as they could carry.
 Notwithstanding, this superabund- ance of the plants has not teemed in the nghtest to keep the retail prices down. To-day mushrooms sell at re- tail for from no to 125 pfennigs a pound.

MiIlspedes.

The little creature which possesses the distinction of having more legs than any other animal is that which belongs to the family of insects known as millepedes or thousand footed.
 There are several different species of these, but they all possess the common characteristic of having segmented bodies, each segment Of which is pro- vided with its own pair of feet. These are set 70 closely along the body as to resemble hairs, and when they move one after another with perfect regu- lar1ty the effect is precisely the same on a small scale as that of a field of oats undulating under the influence of the wind. Some species of millepedes have as many as $50 separate and dis tinct legs. They are all perfectly harm less.

Boots That Were Trousers.

As leather is in such demand for
military purposes. it is fortunate that
present-day boots are made on more
economical plan than those in vogue
at the time Of the Peninsular war and
for many years after. Hessians, which
were then the fashion. absorbed what
would now be considered an unneces-
sary amount of leather. These boots,
according to G A. Sala, were worn
over tight-ftting pantaloons, the up
peaking front almost touching the
knee. and bearing a silk tassel the
back part sloped to the calf, being full
below. and with high heel Such
was the. correct form of footgear till

Early Use Of Pilot Balloons.

A note in the Monthly Weather Re
view calls attention to the fact that
the famous exploring expedition sent
out by the French government under
La Perouse in 1855 carried few small
balloons, some Of paper and some of
goldbeaters' skin, for use in studying
the winds in the upper atmosphere,
and that the instructions prepared for
the expedition by the Academy of Sci
ences pointed out the special i'm
portance of using these balloons in
the trade wind region in order to as
certain Mt what altitude the direction
Of the wind changes in that region.
Thus the recent soundings of the
trade winds carried out under the d.
rection OF Professor Hergesell appear
to have been anticipated by more than
a century.-Scientific American.

INFLUENCE OF DRESS
FELT BY BOTH SEXES. ACCORD
ING TO OBSERVERS.
Ono Woman Asserts the Possession OF
New Hat Is Better for Her Than
Any Medlcine-Beauty as
Business Asset

whenever feel run down | always
buy a new hat" said woman not long
ago with a laugh. 1T is better
remedy than doctors and drugs, and is
usually less expensive"
In the case of women who are con-
tinually "in the blues" this habit
might have drastic results, but there
is no doubt that the clothes we wear
have a very strong influence over our
spirits.
Even a woman who does not care
much for dress is conscious of littl~
inward glow of satisfaction in the
knowledge that she is well and suit
ably attired. She holds herself bet
ter and with more confidence under
the stimulation of a pretty gown or
hat. CLOTHES make the man." so we
are told. 1t is hardly realized how
much they are responsible for the
making or marring of a woman.
Shabby clothes that have seen much
wear and tear and much attention
from the needle and the brush are
very comfortable to wear once in a
while. When it becomes necessary to-
don them day after day, with no hope
of their renewal, they slowly and in
sidiously begin to tell on the spirits
of their wearer. They give a feeling
of shabbiness, and the confidence and
right to place in the world is partly
lost. This is especially detrimental
to the business woman, for she is.
taken very much at her own value in
the world of commerce.
It. is not necessarily a very expen-
sive business to possess nice clothes.
A good tailored costume, though dear
er at the start, is an economy, for it
wears and keeps its cut to the end.
By merely renewing collar and cuffs
occasionally and varying the blouse
with which it is worn, the costume al
ways remains fresh, and gives its
wearer the air of being well dressed.
1t is not always the most expensive
and elaborate toilet that makes for
this much-desired effect.
1t is a vexed question whether
beauty or clothes improve a woman
most. Beauty is a very valuable asset
in life to woman, but seen in an I'M
suitable setting it loses much of it's
charm, and will often be eclipsed by
the less attractive looks of a woman
who chooses her clothes we'll and
knows how to wear them. 1t is gen.
orally understood from certain type
of novel and play that beauty shines
anywhere, under any conditions. Ger
tainly. nothing can actually take away
the contour Of the face, the faultless-
ness of the complexion or the beauty
of the figure, but all these may be
overlooked in some cases. The figure
may be hidden behind an ugly dress,
the complexion may be ruined by the
color scheme, and the contour of the
face lost under an unsuitable hat.
