and has now come again into vogue. But
there can be no doubt that, SO long as wide
and expanded skirts are to be worn. it is
altogether healthier to puff them out with
a light hoop than with half dozen
starched cambria petticoats, as has been
the habit until lately. Physicians are now
agreed that fertile source of bad health
with females is the enormous weight of the
skirts formerly worn. The hoop avoids this
evil entirely. 1t also, if properly adjusted,
gives lighter and more graceful appear
ance to the skirt
Probably the most sensible fashion
would be skirt, moderately expanded, to
be worn with hoop. When ladies' wear
skirt of such amplitude that they can
neither get into carriage nor enter a
pew door there is, it must be conceded.
some ground for the witticisms Of the
press. Ladies of the best taste neither ex-
aggerate nor avoid, the fashion. They fol-
low it, because not to do so would make
them look DID, but they never go beyond
it, because that creates too much notori-
ETY., a thing every we'll bred woman wishes
to avoid"
And in the December number of that
year one discovers the following modest
notice about the January number:
"Ihis will be the handsomest number of
magazine ever published Those who re-
nit soonest will get the earliest and best
impressions of the plates"
1t is interesting to note that the full-
page plates, few of which are repro
duced here, were all hand-coored-which
means that the artist must work on each
individual number Of the magazine. Inn

"Peterson's Magazine" was a genuine
mine Of information and delight. The
blushing bride, busy making up her
trousseau, would, TO- example, come upon
such a perfectly enhancing suggestion
as the following:
Morning dress for bride of white cash
mere, with broad stripes, figured in green.
1T is edged with embroidery, and opens
over a richly worked skirt. The corsagc is
made close, with slight fulncss at the
waist, but plain on the shoulders. The
sleeves open on the inside of the arm, the
open space being laced together with a
green cord confined by green buttons, en-
circled with a white fringe green cord
and tassel at the waist Cap of Honton
lace. trimmed with pink roses and green
ribbon"
In a column headed Editorial Chit
chat" we find a discussion of the hoop
skirt:
"Some of the newspapers are making
enei'oelVes very merry on the SUBJECT or
hoops. They say that gentleman can no
longer give a ladyc-fair' his arm or walk
the streets without having his limbs
skinned by running against ladies' hoops.
Doggerel verses and would-be satirical
paragraphs crowd the press, the subject be-
ing always the eternal hoop. In fact the
hoop monopolizes, with the Presidential
election, the attention of everybody.
son the abstract question of vouminous
skirts we have nothing to say, except that
it seems to us altogether matter of taste
whether women shall wear the scanty,
gored skirt, which our grandmothers did at
the beginning Of the century, or the bell
like one which was in fashion a century ago

THE AUDITORIUM

A play destined to live forever in the hearts of those who see it is The tiearr Of Humanity" appearing at the Auditorium theatre No ordinary war play is this tremendous produc- ton conceived by the master mind of Allen Holubar. in fact so skillfully is the war element handled that it is oYCrSladowed completely by the charming romance which is the pie lures main theme. Yet scarcely sec ondary to this IS the optimistic illuIn- ination it sheds on the great vital problem that touches on the duty owed by humanity to the children wrecked and orphaned by the war. The clarity of the titles is a delight, and this, coupled with the subtle handling of the plot, makes the production a masterpiece, for Allen HoluOar, the director, knows the value of contrast and has used his knowledge with the highest degree of success. As Nanette, the character who depicts the glory accomplished by women Tn the war, Dorothy Phil lips proves herself to be one of the screens greatest players. Rarely have such superb heights been reach cd as she displays in her marvellous dinllnedtcn of the role. The story moves from the pine forests of the Canadian North West to the fields of Flanders. Nanette whose husband is fighting valiantly, IS unable to re- sist the tiny voices of the destitute children across the sea that call to her through her own baby. Nanette leaves her little one with her hus- bands mother, to minister to the needs of the children of France.
 Many adventures await her and through them all she serves her high purpose, risking her own life to save her little charges when the town they are iu is taken by the Germans A Hun officer tries to force himself upon her and Eanette, half crazed by her ordeal, is saved from a grue- some fate by her husband After be- ing decorated for vaior she returns 10 her little son and the mother of her husband who has lost her four other sons. Christmas comes bring ing with it peace and the return of the soldier tn his loved ones. Moth CT Patric.a's fortitude in bearing up beneath her terrible grief will be a help to other members, who like her. have lost their loved ones. William Stowen makes a convincing hero of John Patricia and Margaret Mann is excellent as the beloved Mother Pa tricia.' The supporting cast is ex- cellent, including as it does Erich Von Stroheim, villain supreme of the screen, Robert Anderson, who won fame as 'M'sieu Cuckoo in Hearts of the World Pat O'Ma1ley and Wait Whitman. The story has been . produced bv an artist who does not make the mistake of playing down to his audiences, but rather up to the people who think, after all, are in the ma jority
