Der knee band!-MRS. J. L. NJ.
There are a number OF new and
attractive styles for little boys
which show plain knee trousers in
stead of the "knickers." The two
latest are lSnown as "Oliver Twist"
suits. and "Belted Middies." The
former are adorable with their plain
little waists onto which the small
pants button. On these wash suits
large white buttons are used and
make trim. These are, for the very
little boys, and are short waisted
with large attached collars. A soft
silk tie may be worn with them.
The -'rBelted MILDLY" is much like the
older and better known mildly in
design save that the blouse Is trim
med with box-plaits run from
shoulder to the bottom of the blouse
The belt is usually of self material
and slips under the plaits. ''Belted
Middies" according to quality of ma
terial can be purchased at s1.75 to
S5. ''Oiiver Twists" can be bought
from s2.25 to Sc. While making my
inquiries 1 was interested in having
my attention called to a new ma
terial known as Palmer Linen"
recommended for its washable and
wearing excellence. 1t is closely
woven and seemed to me tough
enough to stand up under the rough
and ready tumbling about of lads
of the age you mention.

Of the material used last night was
recognized by those who have seen
many OF the tablo!ds that have Rlayed
this city in the past few months Mike
sacks is good comedian, but as a
matter OF fact his comedy work is
more in place in tabloid than. It is
in big musical comedy production.
His style is almost identical with
that Of Hal Hoyt who has been here in
tabs a number Of times. Mr.. Abatte
is decidedly clever in the character
he essayed, and his work stood out in
the entire performance. The dancing
numbers were par excellence, the
work Of the barefoot dancers being ex,
ceptionally clever. The dance Of all
nations closing with the tableaux THE
Greatest Of all Nations" gave a stage
that was very pretty, and was good for
strong applause. The Arabian Nights"
scene was the most pretentious set
ting OF the production and made
good closing picture to leave in the
minds Of the audience.

Sam r. Nuzum's Views.
Sam R.. Nuzum, real estate dealer,
believes that the city is greatly in
need of houses and he believes that
the figures some of the men gave as
estimated demands could be doubled
or trebled. He did not believe there
would be much change in building ma.
terial prices. He stated that he offer.

that was not in excess Of that which

Trust Companies Should Loan.
Charles W. Robinson developed the
fact that what we need in Fairmont
is to encourage people to build homes
for themselves and not have as large
a percentage of renters. He pointed
out the fact that there are millions OF
dollars in trust companies and state
banks here that could be loaned on

H. ]. Hartley suggested that com.

the people Of the city who want to
build homes and those who are in need

way it would be possible to ascertain
just what kind OF structures would be
desired by those who want TO occupy
them. 1t was also suggested that an.

Female Impersonator Makea Hi,


Byrne & Byrne seem to have made
the big hit of the musical comedy sea,
son at the Hipp. Excellent attendance
at the matinee, and a good crowd at
the evening performance in spite OF
the counter attractions leads one To
think that the clever company arc re-
membered from their last years visit
here. Billy Byrne again did the fe-
male impersonator act with clever.
ness that left his audience in complete
ignorance OF his part until the last few
moment when he slipped over few OF
the deep bass notes in one Of the trio
songs which almost broke up the num-
Der, Roll Those Eyes" was good for
about seven encores and aside from
the song itself, was jovial bit OF en-
tertainment on account Of the comedy
chatter edged in by Byrne. Mr.. Mar.
ion the straight man made hit with
q baritone voice Of unusual quality.
inst why he should be tabbing is more
than. one can imagine. He has future
IN his vocal talent and now is the time
he ought to be laying the foundation
for years of success in more profitable
lines. The concertina trio won the
house entirely. and every one was sor-
~ the speciality was not longer. A
number Of people were heard to re.
mark last night that the. pictures at
the Hippodrome were surprisingly
good. Henrici has the right idea on
the popular picture comedy is the
thing. People go TO show house to
laugh, and both the picture and the
stage Performance at the Hipp last
night filled the requirements.
