Despite the tempting offers have
received to &c, into musical comedy, there
is a compelling reason why I shall not
do so,' declared Miss zella Russell.
when interviewed in her dressing room
during the intermission at the Gayety
Theater yesterday afternoon. What
success 1 have gained has been in bur-
lesque. and should I quit this field to
go into musical comedy 1t would mean
leaving all the friends have made, and
beginning all over again.
But that is not the more essential
reason why l am reluctant to abandon
the burlesque stage. You know my hus-
band-yes. have q husband-and myself
always play together. Neither of us will
accept an engagement unless the other
is in the same show
Miss Russeil's husband is Harry X.
Morton, who has made quite a hit in
burlesoue Irish comedian parts, and is
playing at the Gayety this week with
his wife.
Washington is the most beautiful city
In the world said Miss Russell. "I am
not saying this because Washington is
my home town-you know 1 used to live
here and so did my husband-but be-
cause I honestly think Washington is the
most wonderful city I have ever seen,
and we stage folk get over the country
quite a bit and visit many places.
When we play here It Is like getting
back home after a long journey among
strangers. And that Is another reason
why am loath to quit the burlesaue
stage. Should / enter the ranks of mu-
sical comedy probably I would have to
remain in New York all the time. A. Il
Is now, I look forward each season to
visiting Washington" .

THE HOUSEHOLD
Conserve Your Metals.
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse.

Every time you give orders to your
housemaid or waitress to clean and
polish the silverS, brasseS and other
metals in your diningroom equipment
you are asking her to scratch or rub
| off a very small fraction of the metal.
For that is just exactly what polishing
| is-a rubbing-off process whereby the
surface of the metal that has become
affected by an oxide or sulphlde,
and hence appears to be furnished or
bIackened, is removed. Therefore,
your polishes should be as mild as
possible, and the more highly you
value the metal upon which they are
to be used, the milder they should be.
! Metal that shines with very high
polish is metal that has been covered
with a multitude of tiny scratches,
each one of which catches and re-
fleets the light and thus appears
bright. 1t is possible, as most FOLK
know, for metal to be perfectly
clean without actually being pol
ished And there are many women
who prefer to have their silver kept
perfectly clean by mild polishing with,
| out having it given the exaggerated
polish that has from time out of mind
been admired by the provincial house
| wife.
Probably no one admires silver that
| has acquired much of tarnish. the
| fact is that silver is so often USED on
the table in connection with our foods
|
course, a furnished piece of metal is
not exactly clean.
But many persons do prefer to have
their brass and copper left with the
| tarnish of years standing undisturbed.
| Truly, it shows marvellous medley of
| colors and quite surpasses the we'll
| polished brass or copper in the quail
| ity of its color. Old-time housekeep-
| ers. most of them, would have object
ed to this on the ground that it showed
! care1essness. And many a woman of
| good taste would be heartbroken, on
| the other hand, if some overeager ser
want removed this tarnish by means of
metal polish.
| AS a matter of fact, the tarnish is
not harmful so long as we do not eat
| from dishes on which it has collected.
1t is perfectly harmless to use tar
nished brass candlesticks on our din
ner tables if the fancy appeals to us.
| The tarnish, if left too long, however,
| will eat into the metals and eventu-
ally destroy them. Especially is this
so when there is much dampness or
any of the gases that cause oxidation
+ is present in large amounts, as is fire.
| quently the case where illuminating
gas is used in the room.

up this bird idea with success.
She has gone further than this and
taken UP the Japanese motif of but
terfiies. She cuts them out of cOloreo
organdy and dashes them in a SEEM
ingly careless way upon an organdy
surface in another color, until the
little frock looks as tho it were a
simmer with butterflies.
The little sketch today is of a
gown she designed which is of sum-
mer sky organdy, meaning pale blue
that is not negative. over it is a
flight of pale yellow butterflies, twist
ing, turning and whirling in every di-
rection. They make a border around
| the hem of the skirt, they twirl
around the hips, and they dash them
selves against the bodice and the
short, puffed sleeves.
Any woman who hopes to find
something novel for her youngster to
wear this summer, may take heart
when she remembers that muslin but
| terflies are one of the newest caprices
that give the loveliest effect.

FIRESTONE WINS SUIT
Big Patent Infringement Case Decided
in COmpany's Favor

Akron, o., June 23.-FTrestone Of
ficials got back from New York en-
thusiastic over a complete victory
scored in federal court in a patent in
fringement suit that ranks with the
Selden suit in its Importance in the
automo bile history.
The case grew out of the activities
of one L. H. Perlman, who after a
spectacular career in patent medicines
broke into the auto industry with a
patent which he claimed gave him a
monopoly on the making of demount-
able rims.
Perlman made financial alliance
with some of the strongest arrays of
capital in the automobile industry and
other rim manufacturers submitted
and turned their plants over to his
company.
But there was one manufactures
of rims who wouldn't be bluffed out
nor bought out but who laid down the
gauge of battle.
That was H. S. Firestone of Akron,
and victory has completely rewarded
his fight.

However, one can criticize the
placement of the birds and limit the
opportunities for their use. On para
soils, the flight of birds is very good,
especially when the colors are deli
cate and the embroidery or applique
well done. In millinery there has al
ways been a chance for a bird, for
ever since women began wearing hats,
their first idea has been to stick upon
them a bird or its feathers or wings
in some fashion, as a means of orna-
mentation.
1t would be interesting to know
where in the history of dress, this
passionate zeal for trimming hats with
birds began, but it has lasted with
unabated fervor thru one or more cen
turtles. Today we do not use the bird,
but we are still using its feathers.
The world of millinery has gone in
for plain, untrimmed hats, and the
only break in the severity has been
an arrangement of wisps of black or
yellow feathers which are called by
one name, but which should be called
by another.
The place where birds are brilliantly
used this season and where they gain
the respect and admiration of the
critic, is on fine muslin frocks for hot
weather wear, and on children s
clothes. In the latter field, the fashion
for birds has solved a problem. A
woman of the south who designs
unusual clothes for some of the most
famous New York shops, has taken

MAKE WAR ON MOSQUITOES
Best Way to Conquer Them Is to
Destroy Breeding Places.

Manhattan, Kan, June 23-There
is common enemy within the state of
Kansas against which the people
should unite. 1t is the mosquito. This
is the advice of George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college here.
Professor Dean has given the fol-
lowing preparedness hints for the cam
paign:
DO away with breeding places such
as tin cans, broken crockery and va
rious receptacles that hold water;
drain bodies of water likely to contain
immature mosquitoes; apply oil to
bodies of water that cannot be drain
ed; introduce fish into pools that can
not either be drained or oiled" Mil
lions of mosquitoes may be destroyed
in this way declares the professor.

Birds and butterflies are embroidered
on chiIdren's clothes and also ap-
piled in primitive fashion on cut
out pieces of cloth.
New York, June 22.-The manu-
facturers of rare laces conceived the
idea of introducing as novelty a
fight of birds across the weaving, and
then those who preferred still more
striking effects, arranged fine nets
with birds scattered over the surface
in pale blue or pink.
Presently, ornamental sunshades
came into fashion, dotted with flying
birds. and then the milliners took up
the idea of putting a jet bird in full
flight on the front of wide brimmed
hat as its only ornament.
Afternoon frocks of white crepe de
chine have black velvet birds form
ing a border at the hem as we'll as at
the sleeves that open widely from the
elbow in primitive fashion. Gowns of
white satin and wraps of the same
material are trimmed with bands of
black velvet ribbon, between which
are applied small birds in jet
1t would seem to the fastidious OBJ
server that such a crude display of
birds would not be tolerated by wom-
en- who really dress well. However,
one accepts the fashion for bird en-
broidery or applique without demur,
for the idea has come over from
Japan, along with thousands of bales
of silks, pongees and other fabrics
that America is now buying in great
quantities from her ally across the
Pacific.
