These who have missed | this attraction should take advantage of the final opportunity. It is un- questionably the best bill the players | have been seen in.

Those who have seen the attraction before are eagerly awaiting the opportunity of seeing | Miss Skirvin in the role of “‘Pamela Gordon."” The character is that of a disappointed girl who has assumed | a bachelor girls’ | She binds the other girls to a solemn oath to continue their | single blessedness and to frown down the attentions of mere men. One hy | one the girls awaken to a realization | . that they possess an abundance of love and they hestow it where it meets Miss Skirvin and ' Miss Hamilton will have most con- genial roles as two of the bachelor girls next week. Manager Birch has secured by special arrangements an- other young woman from New York to assume the role of the other of the trio of man-haters. Mrs Hib- bard has an excellent character role for the week. Miss DeVoe will also appear in the cast. Mr. Blackmore will be cast as “Edgar Holt.” Messrs. Locke, Sage, Mullin and Fuller have good parts. Manager Birch also has a prominent character in next week’s cast. The scene settings and costumes for the week will be pleasing.

FOX PICTURE IS “IN TANGLED WEBS” “In Tangled Webs,” in two partg, is the big photo play at the Fox thea- ter today, of which the following is the story: Fraser's extravagant habits at last bring him up sharp before the stern reality of the impossibility of his posi-, tion. ' Broken in fortune and ‘with no definite solution of his difficulties, | he has sought his friends in vain for financial aid. His creditors persistent- ly dun the delinquent -tfll finally, in the hope of obtaining some ready cash, he resorts to gambling, quitting the game $3,000 in the hole. Made furious by his loss, Fraser recklessly loan shark and promises to pay an extra $3,000 for the use of the money,| wedding to an heiress. His flancee loves Fraser devotedly ! and little dreams of his motive hid- den behind the mask of affection. | But Fraser is ill at ease over the' is playing and hopefully In the meantime the loan shark having become tired of waiting for the return of his loan, demands its payment within forty- At last the day of the Fraser false.

During his convalescence the discovery that a check is missing arouses his suspicions and as a pre- caution his bankers are notified. The condition of Richards has im- proved to such an extent that ar- rangements for the wedding are re- sumed and hope springs afresh in the heart of Fraser while Dorothy is re- ceiving the congratulations of her friends. Fraser learns that his crime is known and leaves the house. At the same time representatives from the bank calling to lay the facts be- fore Richards recognize Fraser, who attempts to escape and start in pur- To avoid capture the fugitive shoots himself. CARE OF CHILD'S STOCKINGS. The top of a child's stocking is usually the first place to show signs of wear. If the new stockings are Uned down as far as the knee, the garter fastening will not tear it so quickly, Do not fasten the lining at the lower edg~ as this would make an ugly seam. To KEEP SUET. To keep suet, remove the skin, pu! it in a “saucepan and place on a warm fire. Let the suet melt grad- ually, When melted, pour into a pan of cold.water. When hard, wipe it dry, wrap it in a piece of white pa- per, then in a piece of linen.

Where women vote the babies break up all the political meetings with untimely walilings. It used to be the stock anti- suffrage argument that babies would perish at home, or at least fall out of bed, when their mothers spent the whole day at the polling place. Now it seems that in order to es- cape the Scylla of the deserted babe, the women have dashed themselves upon the Charybdis of the interrupt- ed political meeting. Not being will- ing to leave their babes at home, as_| the antis said, the women take them with them to caucuses and conven- tions. This procedure has met with the approval of the sisters of the east, and many a time and oft in debates | they have tossed back at a doubting father the 'story of the sweet babes whose presence softens the ‘hearts of | politicians at the critical moment. The babe in politics might better stay at home in his cradle in the fu- ture. Itse usefulness is ended since! Miss Alice Carpenter returned from an expedition to the suffrage states and reported what really happens | when babies go to political meetings. She told them about it Thursday night | at the suffrage rally of the 14th As- sembly district at the Murray Hill Lyceum, New York City. “The women thought it would be a good thing to show the antis that bakies needn’t interfere with political the Year. activities,” she said, “but T think it is a bad thing. There are always at least three babies howling at once in those meetings, and it is sure to be the most important moment of the evening. “No, women aren’t obliged to take their babies to church in order to prove their fitness for religion. They i don't have to take them to bridge parties or pink teas before the men allow them to take part in social life. I don’t see why women should sacrifice their babies to politics or politics to the babies.” Miss Carpenter also made a report on the status of chivalry in the states where women vote. “] was told the other day by a business man of my acquaintance that he would not take off his hat to me after women got the vote,” she said, “and I replied that I had reached the age when 1 was much more pleased to have him ask my opinion on a polifical matter than to take oft his hat even on a rainy day. My young niece, however, thinks the world would come to an end if all the men didn't take off their hats to her. i “For her benefit and the happiness | of other sweet young things I am glad to say that in the suffrage states the men are just as polite for eleven months in the year as they are in the non-suffrage states, and for the twelfth month they are a great deal more polite. The twelfth is election month and every woman’s Vote may cost a man his career.” Fads and Fushions —'l'he y;l;é -ls a nev‘l_not.:lrx:ukirts_ Cotton. dresses have boleros of silk.

Ridgeffld, Conn. — * My baby was cross and restless and fretted night and day. One morning I discoverad that her body was all broken out in small water blisters and I was told she had the eczema the worst way. The eruption first looked like little water blisters, then it turned so it looked like a piece of raw meat. It itched so badly that we had to muffie the baby's hands to protect it spreading all over her face. It certainly disfigured her terribly and she could not rest at night. Her clothing was very irritating to the body and when it was removed her body was raw. We had her treated for about two months when it spread all over her body. face and hgad and scemed to grow worse all the time. *I took good warm water and Cuticura Boap and lathered it all over her apd allowed it to dry on and then when it was thoroughly dry T applied the Cuticura Ointment. In about a week I could see a big change and in three weeks you never would have known she ever had eczema and she never has been troubled since.”” (Signed) Mrs. George Coe, Nov. 20, 1912. : A single cake of Cuticura Soap (25c.) and box of Cuticura Ointment (50c.) are often sufficient when all else has failed.
