ORPHEO THEATRE

All attendance records at the Or pheo have been broken by James w. Gerard's feature film "My Four Years In Germany" It is now the last day of it's run. Those who have not seen the Gerard picture will do we'll says the management to grasp opportunity by the horns. Although without doubt Germany knows America through its policy of intrigue and spying it knows little of Americans as is prov en by the entire mistaken policy of Germany with a nation that strove to keep its neutrality until it's pa tience was entirely exhausted. When you see in the feature photoplay pro duction of Ambassador Gerard's "My Four Years in Germany" the repres- entative of kultur in the person of the kaiser as he shook his finger under the nose of our ambassador with the expressed warning that s'he would stand no nonsense from America af- ter the war" you will better under stand the reasons for America's pres ent position in the world conflict.

NEW LINGERIE.

Voile is a fairly new fabric for lin- gerie, but it has already, in the few months that it has been used for un- dergarments, gained prestige.
 To be sure, voile lingerie ten or a dozen years ago would have seemed absurdly impractical. Voile was too thin, we would have said, too fragile for the hard wear that lingerie must have.
 But those statements would have been made in the days before lingerie had had a chance to show it's good points. And they would have been made, too, in the days before we used fur and chiffon, tulle and satin foI lingerie. Nowadays, of course, satin is considered one of the most dura- ble of fabrics-one is tempted to say undermuslins, in the good old-fash- toned way, but undermuslins are now only part of the matter for most ot them are made of silk and satin and crepe.
 Voile has one advantage over satir I and silk in the minds of some women at least for underwear. They cling tc liking for a regular tubing fabric | for underwear. It matters not to then that satin can be washed in soap ant water and be ironed; satin does no seem so fresh and clean as cotton o, some sort. So to them voile is a wei come addition to the fabrics iron which underwear Is made.

Variety in Neckwear

There is very little drapery on the smart frocls, except the new method of widening the silhouette by placing loose pleats from arnpit to hem There is no attempt to make foulard frock ornamental by adding braid or fancf- full buttons; an uncounted number of extra cullars and cuffs are employed to vary the frock from day to dav.
 The neckwear counters are loaded up with these extra and, as some women think, superf1uous ornaments, but the average woman finds that a daily change of collar and cuffs makes sombre hued gown less wearisome to the eye.
 The large fichus seem to have giver, way to the simplest of turnover col lars, and American women have taken up at last the French method of cut ting the neck in an egg shaped open ing and fencing it around with a mar row turnover collar of organdy Or net.
 It has been many seasons since sep- arate cuffs were worn. but they appeal to women today, although the con- stant rejuvenation which is necessary to their freshness is a matter of time l and expense. However, these factors do not seem to be taken into consider ation. The desire for the extra cuffs to match the collar rides triumphant over the thought of the work required to keep them in order.
 Gauntlet cuffs of all kinds, colored and white, especially in organdy have come into being.
 Thin lace has given way to small Irish crochet edging. and many women crochet the old fashioned serpentine edging which was considered a fash. ionable luxury some time ago.

''ImprOving'' on Nature One
 Way Real Beauty Is Ruined
By LucreZia BOri
(The Famous Spanish Prima Donna )

proved by a discreet means. For in stance the nails require the touch of a professional or an expert home manicure to keep them in a, state of beauty.
 But why, in availing themselves of the benefit of these beauty devices, do so many girls go over the line and eXaggerate until the beauty device becomes a Haunting artifice of ugli- ness?
 Silly to Copy Makeup.
 The rouge and the lipstick, henn1 and eyebrow pencil are too often used, and used not wisely but over generously. On the stage it is neces- sary to eXaggerate and to use these things, because even with them sev- eral hundred feet away the features will seem to possess only normal col cring. The intense glare of the foot | lights, too, absorbs so much color that the actress who used only a moderate amount of makeup for the stage would look ghostlike in her pallor' from the auditorium.
 It's more than silly for, young girls | to copy stage makeup in their toil-
 
 they will resemble the actresses whose beauty they adore.
 The less makeup used the better it's effect. For the only justifable make up is the kind that is not recognizable. | As soon as even simple powder is per- i ceptible to the beholder the whole l artif1ce becomes vulgar.
 Even the girl with a naturally pal- | lid complexion shouldn't attempt to endow herself with a permanent blush. It is probably unbecoming. If the lips are naturally a. light pink let | them so remain and don't daub them l an ardent red.
 And never-no, never-should the nails have a high polish. Even the most perfect nails have only slight lustre. and the well-groomed woman never attempts to outdo the perfec- l ton of nature in her toilette.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-09-09

literally for very often you can see on the streets girls whose exaggeration of toilet transforms them into verita- ble caricatures of themselves.
 I am not so hypercritical as to maintain that every girl in the prime of youth has a natural beauty that needs no artifce to enhance it. Per haps this was so in our original state of nature. But at present, unfor- tunately. the average young girl isn't a perfect image of refreshing beauty. It is her own fault, in most cases, it must be admitted. Perhaps she lives too strenuous a city life, and late hours, incorrect diet and lack of ex- ercise have all contributed toward robbing her of the. lustrous bloom of youth which should be her heritage.
 Beauty Needs Assistance.
 Whatever the cause, the fact re- mains that the average city girl must depend upon man-made devices to as- sist her in appearing beautiful. Her face and figure and nails require spe- cial attention. Unlike the lilies ot the field, which give no thought tc l their raiment, the city girl, alas, must | give thought to every aspect of he1 l physique and render 1t intelligent as- sistance at it's weak spots.
 The dust and grime of the city make cold cream and powder essen | tial The sallow complexion thar | comes from late hours and lack of ail and exercise may sometimes be i'm

STOVE HINT.

Many complaints are made of cake burning on the bottom when baked in a blue flame stove. Take an oval asbestos table mat, found at any five and ten cent store, remove the cloth cover, place directly under your cake pan. It will assure you a perfectly baked cake. Much better than the thin sheet of asbestos for this.
 When using a food chopper, add a cracker the last thing. It will save every little bit of food and leave the chopper clean.

AROUND THE HOUSE.

Gasoline will remove tar. chewing Seun1, fly paper, or the oil that is used bn the streets, from clothes, carpets br little hands, and leaves no stain.
 Soak the underwear, shirts and the overalls that are oil stained in hot water to which 1-2 cup of gasoline has been added.
 Boys boots can be made almost waterproof by rubbing often with melted mutton fat and vaseline, leave . n warm place until it dries in.
 Milk can be heated very quickly by putting it in a hot oven, in a covered fish.
 Boil out a pair of old tan stockings and use the water to renew the color of khaki pants and blouses.
 A piece of thin silk put into the heels of silk stockings will save them wonderfully.
 Old stocking caps are fine to put onto little feet at bedtime in cold weather.
 Get into the habit of turning the broom around in your hands while you sweep, to save wearing 1t one sided.

EUSEBIA

Eusebia was the abbess of St. Cyr, or St. Saviour, at Marseilles, and is said by ancient French chroniclers to have cut off her nose, like the abbess of Coldingham in England, to save herself from the attentions of men. The nuns under her are said to have followed her example. This self mu- tilation took place in 791, when the Saracens invaded Provence. These barbarians were so enraged at the abbess and her nuns for their deed that they murdered them all and set fire to their nunnery. This Eusebia must not be confused with the great woman who was the wife of Constan- timus, Emperor of the East and who died in 360.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

One way to lengthen the life of 1inoleum is to mix the warm suds and cooked starch that are left over on wash day and use them to mop up the linoleum. This not only preserves if hut gives it a gloss as when new.

TWO WAYS | SAVE
 IN THE KITCHEN

When making sandwiches save the crust, dry, and roll them and put in 'jars. Roll first if you desire. These save cracker crumbs.
 Another way to save is to every part of mutton fat add an equal part of leaf lard and 1 cup of milk. Cook ih double boiler until the fat comes to the top. This is then ready for ordinary frying purposes; but if the flavor of the food is delicate make savory fat by adding 1 apple, 1 onion and thyme.

SAVE THE APRON FRONTS,

When making aprons save a piece of goods about 16 inches square. Hem all sides. Make two buttonholes, one on each corner of the top. Sew two buttons on belt of apron about 16 inches apart. When you are doing Eirty work button the square on belt.
 Saves apron and washing. Can be made of shelf oil cloth, then all you do is to cut button holes.
