Orpheum Theatre.

The Orpheum management has sue
ceeded in finding for next week a pro-
gram which will be a worthy sue.
cesSor TO this weeks bill, superla-
| lively good as this has proved to be.
| The program, which starts at the
matinee next Monday, will be one of
the most varied vaudeville offerings
ever presented in New Orleans, and
| every lover of this form of dramatic
art is sure to be pleased by the
| dancing, singing, music, comedy and
acrobatics which will be offered for
his or her entertainment in the many
| acts announced by Manager Arthur
B. White for the week.
First of all, as headliner. we shall
be permitted to see a travesty on the
old-time melodrama, in an act en-
titled For PHYS Sake" with Thomas
Duray in the leading role
An added feature, one of those spe-
cial attractions with which the Or
pheum management has so often
blessed us this season, will be the
often initiated but never equaled Lii
liam Fitzgerald, who has lifted herself
from the position of soubrette in some
| of the large shows of the country to
speciality in vaudeville.
Right next to this is a musical and
dance offering by three artists, the
beautiful Marmein sisters, Miriam and
Irene, who, with the aid of David
Schooler, present what they have
rightly named "A Revelation of
Dance and Music
Next week We shall have the OPP
portunity to hear and enjoy the work
of another master of monologue,
when Joseph l.. Browning brings his
Timely Sermon" to the Orpheum
stage.
Music of a kind peculiarly appro-
pirate to the South and beloved by
all Southerners will be the Offering of
Burt Earl, the famous banjoist, who
is bringing his own company to the
Orpheum.
Still more comedy and laughter will
be furnished by the Randalls in their
original sketch, written especially for
them, Seventeen Minutes in Ari-
zona," in which more things happen
than usually occur in seventeen hours
anywhere else. Myrtle and Jimmie
Dunedin will have Many Surprises
concerning the nature of which it
would be breach of professional stage
etiquette for the writer to reveal any
thing.
Kilograms, the newest visual
views, will present the happenings
Of the world in pictures. The Or
pheum Concert Orchestra, under Pro-
fessor E. e. Tosso, will provide its
always-enjoyable music. and the Or
pheum Travel Weekly will give us
action pictures culled from here,
there and everywhere.

The extensive cotton manufacturing
interests at Fall River and New Bed

One cotton manufacturer expressed

Besides the method given for tint
ing crepe .geOrgette and thin silks by
means of coloring matter dissolved in
water, there is the method of tinting
with gasoline and tube paints. BY
these means greater variety of tintS
and cOlOrs are possible and one may
match shades. The blouse or veil or
fabric TO be tinted mast first he
washed, If it is Soiled, or cleaned in
gasoline, and dried. If washed, make
suds of warm water and a pure
white soap, and dip the garment or
material in it, squeezing it gently
through the hands and lifting it up
and down in the SudS. When clean.
rinse IL in two or three waters and
fold in a towel. Do not wiring with the
hands, but put through a wringer.
For tinting laces, georgette crepe,
chiffon or light silk with gasoline, one
may produce any color or tint by Sc
curing the necessary tube paints, and
they must be fresh. To ascertain that
they are, remove the top Of each tube
anu STE tllul lllt paint Io"S Jul easily
when the tube is squeezed. Manufac-
turers Of paints provide many colors
and shades ready to use, so that it is
not often necessary to mix colOrs.
A large china wash bowl and tin
pan are needed for this tinting proc
ess. When used, the bowl must be
perfectly clean and absolutely dry.
Gasoline for tinting must be left in an
alright can so that 1t will not evap-
crate, and small bristle brush must
be kept clean and dry, ready for use.
Tinting should be done in the open air
or near an open window, as the fumes
from gasoline often cause headache
and are highly inflammable. Never
do tinting in a room with a fire or
gas jet. Always keep the tops of tubes
screwed down, 20 that the paint will
not become hard.

Wipe the bowl or pan to be used
with clean, dry cloth and squeeze into
1t little of the color required. Pour
over this a little gasoline and use the

small piece of the goods to be tinted.

! gasoline; if too light add more paint
Sufficient gasoline must be poured in

Prussian blue, burnt lumber and
black are very strong paints and very
little of them is required TO make a

one must mix the paints, unless the

duce many colOrs when properly
mixed: PrusSan blue, ivory black
silver white, kings yellow, burnt UNI.
Der, sienna, Naples yellow, mauve, pur.
pie lake and geranium lake.
Red or geranium lake in gasoline
will tint pink. Prussian blue will pro.
duce light blue. Black makes a gray
shade; burnt umber makes tan. Sew.

by mixing white and brown. Purple

mixed with green to deepen its tone.

Save Strino,

What becomes of all the little bits
OF string and tvine that come around
the small parcels that you bring home,
also those Of larger ones that are sent
to you? There are many folks who
save them, but there are others who
do not. For the latter it would be
nice to make a bag with drawing
string and hang always in the kitchen
or pantry or some nearby place. Roll
the small ends in one ball and the long
ones in another and keep in a box
hanging in the pantry with lid that
shuts itself. A salt box is all right.
