HOUSE-CLEANING SEASON.

The stir of spring house cleaning has been brought to life by the winds of spring. and, as the school girl with the thought that the furnishings need refreshing. after bit of a dingy note that winter has left behind, we offer by way of suggestion, a cretonne remedy.

There is the old divan in the corner, and if the room has an fashioned tendency, make a quaint Cretonne covering with a wide touch to the room. The length of the material, sufficiently wide, will do for the length of the divan; and twice the length, with one-third the width will suffice for the rufffe
 The heavy arm chair in the corner might be re uph holstered with a new summer covering, (including the ruffle), and now comes the question of pillows without too liring a use of cretonne. The school girl may have some crash. or grey linen in an at tic drawer. Use this as in ombina- ton with the cretonne as a wide strip in the center, O. g complete covering for the back of the pillows and the same two com binations may be used for the bureau scarf The result will be a. new, summery. and altogether home-like room.

GAYETY-Burlesoue.

The Behman Show, one of the high
lights in the burlesque field, enter
tained well filled house at the
Gayety last night, with comedy, songs
and dances galore. under the title,
Putting 1t Over" The action is di-
vided into two acts and many scenes,
some entirely new effects being
shown. notably "the revolving star"
that serves as finale for the first
act. The work of Harry r. Lander,
a comedian Of the hobo type was
the leading. feature of the evening.
His offerings were at all times given
with subtleity and smoothness that
is rare in burlesque. At no time did
he resort to slap-stick methods to
win laughs. Ameta Pynes is as grace
full as ever in dances. and in one in
particular, which she does with Harry
Watson. is particularly clever. 1t is
just another vamp dance executed in
realistic manner with the use of
spotlights. Marie Sparrow, with songs
and stories. repeated her usual hit.
Clarice Lawrence and Lucille Virginia
sang several duets. The chorus makes
the usual display of costumes and
the scenery is new both in texture
and idea.
