STRONG MORAL IN FINE FEATHERS"
 

''Fine Feathers" the offering at the Russwin Lyceum next week. is one of the strongest plays of it's kind ever written. Following is the com- ment on it by some of the metropoli tan papers: The play is powerful N. Y. Times; Gripping and interesting. Herald; Succession of dramatic wal fops.-Telegraph; A masterly play N. Y. Tribune; Stirring drama,-N. Y. Mail;. Tense, grim, powerful,-N. Y. Globe.
 Against the advice of his friend, a government chemist in very modest circumstances accepts graft and be- gins on the path that leads to in evitable destruction. He is tempted by the knowledge that his wife is un- happy without the pretty things her sex reqaires and by the "rosy'' pie lures painted as the result of bribes by a successful business man,-an old college chum. One speculation leads to another and finally he reaches the point where prison stares him in the face. As a result the audi ence is treated to the most thrilling climax imaginable.
 And vet, "Fine Feathers does not deal entirely with wrongdoing tand punishment. There is lighter vein running through the drama to relieve it's tenseness Fine Feathers will undoubtedly prove to be one of the best plays ever put on here.
 Our New Minister" may be seen for the last time tonight. ''The Prince of Graustarlx" will head a program of high-class photoplays at the Lyceum Sunday evening with Bryant Wash burn.

wife VITO perfectly illustrate the dif- ference between these two.
 And He Spent It on That One.
 The man is what he himself calls ''fastidious." He has been used to having things just so'' and he likes them that way and no other. As a bachelor, he had an income which was comfortable for one, and he spent it almost wholly on that one. Result, expensive tastes. For in- stance, he will not wear a pair of stockings that cost less than fifty cents. fact of which he is very proud. x
 His wife, on the other hand, has never had chance to have expensive tastes. but she has the best of good taste and she has accomplished mira cles with it. Her home, with its rest full wall paper, low lights, in expensive but weli-chosen furniture, harmoni- ous hangings and freedom from Iclut- tering tbric-a-brac. is one perfect ex- ample of what good taste can do with limited means. Her children's clothes and her own are another. That's the Most Niaddeping Thing <. AUOut 1HCIHs
 She tRas reason to be proud of her taste. Her husband should be asha med of his. And yet. I'll wager, he has the greater pride.
 That is the most maddening thing about people with expensive tastes,- their pride in them, especially when they are beyond their means. feel sure he looks down on people who can endure twenty-five cent Cor cheaper) stocking.
 They always do.
 She, on the other hand, is too busy exercising her good taste to be vain of it.

Men of American Fleet Never
Saw So Many Pigs AS They
Have In Ireland

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, Nov. 23.-Tramps through
the beautiful Irish countryside are the
favorite autumn pastime of American
sailors on afternoon shore leave.
The Americans never saw so many
pigs In their lives as they have since
they began to wander around Ireland.
Up one Of the favorite country roads
they have become fast friends with
an Irish farmer who has a remarkable
squad OF trained pigs. Whenever the
sailors visit his farmyard the owner
delights in running his pigs through
O. humber OF evolutions just to make
the sailors laugh. The farmer is very
fond Of the youthful Americans. To
one party which called the other day
he presented a tiny porker which they
took squealing back to their ship and
adopted as their mascot One trip at
sea, however, made Piggy SO seasick
that he was turned over to the chef
and made the centerpiece at a roast
pig dinner, the like of which the boys
have not had since leaving the shores
OF the United States.
Bicycling has gained a tremendous
vogue with the American b1ue-jackets
