Its popular reception has met the expectations of the manage- ment and advance sales indicate ca- pacity business for the performances for the remainder of the week. A al- been arranged. “Girls,” by Clyde Fitch, will be the attraction for the coming week. This was originally produced in London and was so popularly received that the engagement extended over two vears. In offering this attraction Man- ager Birch hags acceded to a great demand for a revival of the attrac. tion. The demand has increased since the coming of Miss Skirvin and Mr. Blackmore. In the authorship of this play Mr. wielded his facile pen most cleverly. He steered clear of the common comedy situations and new situations. Thy <cene in which “Pamela Gordon” and her girl friends pledge their solemn oath to remain bachelor girls, fol- Jowed quickly by the sudden and un- expected intrusion of “Edgar Holt" has always proven most pleasing. Miss Skirvin will have a most cons genial character to impersonate in the role of “Pamela Gordon” and Mr. Blackmore as “Edgar Holt” has Art. A mdtinee performance of “Mont» Cristo” will be given tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, “CRIMINAL PATH” PICTURE AT FOX’S “The Criminal Path” is the picture at Fox's theater today. Jim Jepson has served five year3 in prison for bank robbery, but for fifteen years has lived a straight lifo with his wife and daughter. Then misfortune overtakes him and hin daughter is forced to work, At this crisis Jepson meets Doc Burns, who was in prison with him, but is dodg- ng a warrant from the west whery he is badly wanted. Jepson is persuaded by Burns resume his former occupation. two rent an old house, next to bank and tunnel through the cellar to the vaults, while Mary, ignorant of the fact that her father has gona back to the criminal parn, is night cashier in a restaurant. On her way home she is from insult by Bob Darrell, a de- tective who recognizes the “Worm," a notorious crook, loitering in the vicinity of her house. Darrell, who arrested Jepson and Burns twenty yvears before, and is now trailing Burns, follows the “Worm"” and iy ¢onvinced that a bank robbery is be- ing planned. Believing Mary an ac- complice, Darrell has her discharged from the restaurant so she will bn home when he raids the place. Mary is apprehended as she unlocks tho door.

But, if at the end of that time it shows no signs of giv- ing women the vote—then will come the deluge. Miss Margaret Hodge Dorothy Pethick, who arrived from Liverpool on Sunday on the White Star liner Philadelphia, said at the Hotel Martha Washington in New York city that the present crisis was the suffragettes’ , opportunity, and they would make the most of it. Miss Hodge and Miss Pethick have been ranked as non-militants, Miss Pe- thick being a sister of Mrs. Pethick- Lawrence, who broke with the Pank- hursts on the ground that their poli- cy was too extreme. But admiration shone in their faces when they spoke of the militants and their deeds and more than once they aligned them- selves with the militants by the pro- noun “we.” “There is sure to be a new elec- tion soon,” Miss Hodge said, ‘“ana probably the conservatives have learned their lesson from watching the liberals squirm. The liberals won’t admit that the militants have worried them, but they have been terribly worried. The conservatives won't want to be harried like that. And we shall see to it that votes for women is an issue in this election, so the new government can't ignore it on the ground that it isn't an issue. As they'll go in on a small majority they can’t be very independent, and all things considered, I think they'll givc property-owning women a vote. But, if they don't yield—." Ready to Die For Cause. “If they don’t,” said Miss Pethick, “when they've had three months to consider, we'll make them as uncom- fortable as we've made tne liberals.” Miss Hodge said that militancy had been necessary in England, but she doubted the wisdom of continuing it farther, because it was so difficult for the women. themselves. “The government has shown that it will go any lengths in dealing with them,” she said, “It doesn't dare kill well known women like Mrs. Pank- hurst, to be sure, but when the vic- tims have no friends to make an out- ery it doesn't care what it does to them. Three women, Rachel Peace, Kitty Marian and Phyllis Brady, are being forcibly fed in prison now al- most to the point of death.

A spirit like that of the early Christian martyrs keeps them up. 1 heard Mary Richardson, mnot long before she slashed the Rokeby | Venus, assert her belief that women i must die to get the vote In England, | and many others feel like that.” Miss Richardson, by the way, cher- ishes an inflamed appendix as a weapon in the warfare. “She had appendicitis after a pris- on experience and forcible feeding,” Miss Hodge said, “and the doctors ad- vised an operation, telling her she would have trouble as long as that appendix stayéd in. She refused. ‘That appendix is too useful’ she said. ‘Some woman must die in pris- on and my appendix may be the means.’ " % “Miss Richardson is a wonderful woman,” Miss Pethick said. “It Is absurd the fuss that was made about the cutting of the Rokeby Venus—a picture no one heard of before. Tts future claim to fame will be the fact that it was slashed in the fight for woman'’s freedom.” Christabel Still Militant. Miss Pethick said the rumor that Christabel Pankhurst wished to drop the militant policy was untrue. “She was never more militant than now. And never were more militant acts committed than now. Many of them don't get reported; indeed, . 1 heard a young militant complain not long ago that she was quite tired of burning houses that weren't report- ed. On the other hand, the police sometimes plant bombs and lay it to the militants. That was the case with the bomb that was put in St. Paul's cathedral and another in a hotel When things are dond that endanger human life, you may be sure the militants haven't done them, “Never was a more spiritual move- ment than the militant movement. A woman who saw Mrs. Pankhurst car- ried unconscious into her home on a stretcher after her last hunger strike, told me her face was like an angel's it was so purged of everything ma- terial. And there are two thousana women in England animated by that same spirit, ready to go to the same lengths in this war.” Miss Hodge, who swas identifled with the enfranchisement of women in Australia, has been traveling through that country explaining mil- itancy to the women there. “Such lies are cabled to the col- onies about what the militants do," she said; “I want to set them right. is standing over Blair's dead body. Unable to make satisfactory explana- tions, she is arrested. Darrell, gathering clues, finds Jep- son’s trail. Convinced that the es- caped convict killed Blair, he pur- sues him across the country. Over- taking him, a desperate battle fol~ lows. Jepson tries to throw Darrel into an ice hole but falls in himself and {is fatally hurt. Dying and learning that his daughter is accused of causing Blair's death, Jepson gives Darrell the true facts. Mary, with the shadows lifted from her sad life and the criminal path her father trod obliterated, finds hap- piness as the minister's wife. KEENEY PATRONS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC Keeney patrons are getting more en- thusiastic every day over the artistic dancing of Mlle. Santi, a chic little Parisian miss, who is furnishing oue of the features of this week’'s show. This clever little lady introduces a series of barefoot dances in which she exhibits grace and skill. She offers the Hungarian tango, some intricate Grecian gyrations and closes with the sensational Egyptian death dance. In ! the latter number she is at her best and her interpretation of the weird spectacle is most impressive. Her act is splendidly staged, the .mag- nificent scenery which she carries making beautiful settings for the dif- ferent numbers. From a spectacular standpoint there {s nothing in the acrobatic line that approaches the specialty in which the Fauste, daring aerialists, make their appearance. The pair perform a num- ber of original and thrilling feats on the trapeze and rings and win great applause for some of the sensational features of their program. The Harmony Belles have a pretty singing number. They introduce sev- eral popular and semi-classical songs, rendering each in entertaining fashion. The belles have good voices and the mixture produces true harmony. “A Little Love, A Little Kiss,” sung by cne of the quartet, is probably the | most popular number on their pro- gram. Harrison Stewart and a company of ten negro entertainers make their bow in “The Boss Barber,” a musical comedy that has several features of merit. There is plenty of good comedy In the plece, besides entertaining sing- ing and dancing numbers. » The Ryan Sisters find favor in a planologue with eccentric dancing and a rube burlesque as attractive fea- tures.

The blouse that gives a vestec effect is a favorite one and this model shows the vestee portions slightly full so that they are especially adapted to net and other dainty materials of summer weather, and it includes also slceves that are sewed tc it at the drooping shoulder line. In the illustration, it i3 made of one of the em- broidered silk crépes with collar and cufis of plain material and vestee of net, but the model could be used quite as suc- cessfully for an r'lire net blouse or for chiffen and for ti%: much simpler cotton fabrics, for there is no feature of the season more remarkable than the use of the same design for the dressy blouse of finc ma- terial and for the ful one of plainer fabric. Cotton voile is always pretty both for dresses and for rate blouses and this one could be made of that ma- terial with collar and cuffs of bright colored silk, as orange or cerise, to be ex- ceedingly smart, the vest portions being of marquisette or cotton net.

Have fully four quarts of water boiling rapidly in the kettle. Add a half teaspoonful of salt and the rice and cover until it boils again, then partly uncover or it will boil over. Keep the water at a galloping boil. In ten minutes be- gin to test, lifting out a few grains with a fork and rubbing them between thumb and finger; when tender to the center (which will take about twenty minutes) the rice is done. Turn into a colander, cover with a cloth and let steam in the oven for five or ten miutes. Serve with a sauce or cream and ‘sugar. Steamed Fish—This is an appro- priate way to serve any large, firm fleshed fish, and will be found more satisfactory than boiling. ‘Wash and dry the fish, dust it well with flour and wrap it in a dampened and floured square of cheese cloth; lay on a plate and steam until the flesh draws away from the bones. After scrap- ing off the skin, transfer carefully to a hot platter and garnish, it is usually best to serve the sauce separately. ¢ Household No fes | v AN S R A solution which will remove stains from the hands, at. the same time softening them, is the following: Put into a bottle two ounces of glyc- erin, two ounces of water, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and.a few drops of carbolic acid. Shake well and after washing and wiping the hands, Tub a little of this mix- ture into them, Fried Rice Coftee Tea Potato omelet is delicious. Take a large, freshly baked potato and scoop out the inside. . Beat this until smooth and mix with it half a salt- spoonful of paprika or white pepper, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a dessert spoonful of lemon juice and the vokes of four eggs. A minute or two be- fore the omelet is fried fold in the whites ofithe eggs beaten to a froth. Fry in a well-greased, very hot pan and serve in a hot dish, Pots and pans should receive the most scrupulous care. For instance, a skillet which has been used for fry- ing should have two washings, the last in boiling-hot soapsuds. The saucepans and pots should undergo the same treatment, and when the vegetables or soups or cream sauce have been put into their respective dishes ready for tlie dining room, the pans should be filled at once with warm water; they will be much easier to wash. The kitchen range can be man- aged. in a way to save fuel. Upon rising in the morning, turn over the grate, open the draughts for a few minutes, When the coals begin to brighten the draught should be shut off. Then breakfast can be prepared and the fire used for an hour after- ward without replenishing. This method can be repeated at each meal. The oven heats more easily if the fire is clean and the fire box not more than half full of coal. l Talking Big By RUTH CAMERON. S I know I've told you before how I hated it, but it wont do you any harm to hear again; for if you are my old friend, the average man or woman, you cannot too often hear this most typical, most com- mon* and most irritating of American faults made fun of. And if you are the exceptional person who never talks big, you'll enjoy hearing your neighbors hauled over the coals, But please don't make the mistake of thinking you are the exception when you are really very much the rule. Of course you know what I mean by big talk,—the attempt to make yourself, and especially your possessions seem bigger than they are, For instance, the daughter of on: of my acquaintances who fs espe- cially gifted along this line, was mar:led a few weeks ago. The proud mother went about beforehand distributing gracefully worded details about th® wedding. A typleal one was “His father sent them a beautiful chest of silver.” We pictured a handsome chest with row on row of gleaming sil- ver, and you can imagine how surprissd we were to find out afterwards that the “chest of silver” consisted merely of half a dozen knives, forks an d spoons. Again. I was discussing cameras with a typical “big talker” the other day. He had a fair sized camera which cost about 330, he told me proudly. My camera, although small, happens to have cost about twice th at sum. And when by examining it closely he discovered the trade mark which proved its cost, he at once remarked nonchalantly, “I used to have o ne of those little cameras which cost $110." ;{Whlt make " I asked. e stammered a bit and then named a make with which I chanced be famillar. And I happened to be perfectly positive that that conce:: never manufactured a camera at anywhere near that price, Talk is cheap and big talk is dirt cheap. But sooner or later you always get found out, as this man was, and then all your further statements whether true or false are sure to be discredited. Foreigners seldom *“talk big"” the way Americans do. They may feel big enough but they hide their feelings better than we. One of the first things I noticed when on a visit to an English colony was the Englishman's delightful freedom from this habit. Several of them had plenty of material on#which to base some trgmendous talk but they never used it at all. Now don’t accuse me of being lacking in patriotism. I'm not at all In fact it is because I love my country so well that 1 deprecate her faults and long to see all Americans, myself included, struggle against the na- tional tendency to “big talk.” . * 1 know SPECIAL SALE OF BODY BRUSSELS RUGS We have about twenty-five 9x12 Body Brussels Rugs which, dus. to slight imperfections, we are able to offer at the very low price of $20.00. .
