TO BE MADE OF. rw‘gncxm OROF MATERIAL. Pretty, dainty corset covers always are «eractive but just nowwhen thin blouses are the rulc, they are necessities. This one can be made from flouncing or from material. As a matter of course, the flouncing means less labor for it re- quires only to be threaded with ribbon and finished with a ribbon belt. When material is used, the upper and lower edgas must be turned under and stitched ;| to form casings but plain net is so prett with ribbons run through that it is well | worth the trouble. Asa matter of course, embroidered flouncing can be substitut: for the lace and any thin material can be | used instead of the net. - Crépe de chine is much in voguc just now and crépe de chine is very pretty made in this way with shoulder straps of ribbon. For the 16 vear size, the corset cover will require 114 yds. of flouncing 10 in. wide or 3 yd. of material 36 or 44 in. wide, with :jé s. of ribbon 1 in. wide. ‘The pattern 8220 is cut in sizes for 14, 16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Faghion Department of this paper on receipt of ten cents. $1,000,000 TO UNIVERSITY. Philadelphia, April 9.—Approxi- mately $1,000,000, said to be the largest amount ever received by the institution from a single donor, will g0 to the University of Pennsylvania : ‘under the terms of the will of Dr Louis A. Duhring, for years profes- sor of dermatology at the university. | More Becoming Than ‘Washington, April 9.—Even to try- jug on her long trained, white satin wedding gown, with its.relief of tulle, the work of fitting the dozen and more gcwns which form the chief part of Miss Eleanor Wilson's trousseau was acoomplished at the White House on Tuesday. | The announcement of the engage- ment-was made on March 13, and in the remarkably short time since that day, Miss Wilson has not only ordered her trousseau, but she has ‘nrdered her wedding invitations, made out the list of guests and, best of all, has set the date, even to the day and houry for her wedding. The wedding date was decided upon positively within the last few deys, but further than that it is to take place in May nothing has been made known. It Is a mere surmise that it will be on one of the Tridays of the month, for it might still be on Wednesday, May 13, and remain true to the tradition of the Wilson partiality for “unlucky” num. bers. By some one who got a peep at Miss ‘Wilson during the trying-on period at the White House it was said that the I g o A Menu for Tomorrow | Breakfast. Fruit. Corned Beef Hash, Gems. Coffee.

The body por- tion is made in the Japanese style with the sleeves making a portion of it. When the sleeves and skirt are drawn in and finished with little frills, a real picture effect is obtained but they 'can quite easily be left ‘ree and finished with a hem and scallops or in any way that may. be liked. Whatever the treatment, the short waisted or Empire line is apt to be becoming. In the large view, the dress is shown made from one of the little printed Dresden voiles that are offered this season and it is very prettv and child- like in effect. ~ There are, of course, num- berless other fabrics that are appropriate; in fact, anything that is suitable for tiny children can be utilized for this frock. - ‘or the 2 year size, the dress will re- quire 23§ yds. of material 27, 114 yds. 36, 1'yd. 44 in. wide, with 3{ yd. 36 in. wide for the plaited trimming and 23{ yds. of ribbon. .

Miss Eleanor Wilson’s Wedding Said to Be Set for Friday, May 15 Her Gowns Have ‘All Been Fitted and Invitations Have Been Ordered—Her Short Dancing Frocks Are Her Dinner Gowns. short dancing frocks—dainty as flow- ers—and the useful trotteur costumes were far more becoming to the bride- elect than the more elaborate dinner gowns, evening gowns and even the wedding gown itself. For a fact, Mrs. Bryan, next to whom Miss Wilson will rank as a cabinet lady, will have to look to her laurels in the way of cos- tunfes or the newest little cabinet lady will walk away with all the honors. Mrs. Bryan's taste runs to soft gray and black gowns, rich in material and often costly, but even those things must succumb to the approaching change. The final fittings for all the gowns | and hats and other things requiring adjustment will be made in New York during Miss Wilson's five days’ visit | There are saia ' to be only one or two suits with the | there before April 20. adorable little fancy coats, most of them being constructed to wear with | the delectable soft blouses and quite up-to-date coats.

The full rich comedy found in the lines of this play strikes a happy response. The characteriza- tion of “‘Lucile Purcelle’” by Mrs. Hib- bard is regarded as her very best bit of work. Miss Hamilton as the giddy stenographer is most popular in her part this week. Manager Birch has received a num- ber of congratulations on the selec- tion of “St. Elmo” to be the attrac- tion for the following week. It wiil be Mr. Blackmore's farewell week. The bill is most congenial to him as in the title role he achieved some of his greatest dramatic success. It wa he who originated the part in the first presentation and his excellent con- ception was taken for the example for other leading men to play the character in other road companies, Mr, Blackmore had with him on the road at one time four popular actors ob- serving his presentations of the chai- acter. “St. Elmo” abounds in stirring action and has a most interesting story plot. Seats for the remaining perform- ances of “Girls” are on sale at Crow- ell's drug store. VOCAL MUSIC IS GOOD AT KEENEY'S| Comedy and vocal music form an important part of the program at Keeney's this week. There is comedy in abundance in every number and there are also a number of good musical numbers. Both these features are incorporated in the act of Cook and Stevens, who have one of the most attractive spec- ialtles that has been seen here in a lcng time. They offer a humorous kit entitled: ‘“The Coon and The| Chinaman.” The singing of Cook is winning great prase and at every per- formance the popular entertainer has to respond with encores. Even after he makes several responses, the audi- ence is loathe to have him leave, Janet Mozar and her dancing girls appear in a musical number that is finding favor daily. Miss Mozar has considerable dancing abllity and is a hard worker. She sets a rapid pace for the chorus and there is plenty of activity while they hold forth. John- nie Hoey, the miniature comedian, who is with the act was for several years a fdvorite in the “legitimate’” ard he has been winning new laurels regularly since his entry in the vaude- ville field. The work of the two Bedfords on the high wire merits exceptional praise, This pair accomplishes several difficult feats and produces numerous thrills. Levail and Vondini do some | rles the man who befriended spectacolar stunts on the trapeze and rings. Brown and Brown open the show with a juvenile singing number. They introduce several good comedy features. FOX PICTURE IS “THE GREATER LOVE" “The Greater Love,” in two parts, is the principal picture at the 1'ox theater today: On the way to his =hip, which is about te sail on a lorg voyage, Jack stops at Mary's home and declares his love. After some time of eager expeotancy news from the absent sailor reaches the gi He expresses the hope of being h again In about thirteen months. While Jack is away the girl becomes an orphan through the death of her mother. The disconsolate girl closes her house and starts out to seek a living in a distant town. Jack has been unable to send a letter to Mary, but the tedium of the long voyage gives him many moments fdr thought of the girl he left behind. At last the vesscl is homeward bound and the heartsick sailor writes his sweet- | heart of the prospect of seeing her soon, but the letter is never delivered, as Mary’s address is unknown. In the course of her journey Mar meets an old friend of her father's, the lighthouse keeper, whose sym- pathy Is excited by the girl's plight, | and believing her lover dead, mar- her. Soon after this a shipwreck off their shore startles the occupants of tho lighthouse, who aid the sole survivor in Qs fight for safety. - When the ex- hausted man is brought to shore he is recognized by Mary as her former sweetheart. The old love still burns in Mary's heart, but the insurmountable hopelessness of their position drives Jack to the shore, where he broods in despair, but the couple are afterwards united, PR WY N WESTERN UNION MEN tor Jack| RESIGN FROM BOARD Kight Dircctors Leave Company Pur- L suant to an Agreement With Department of Justice.

A Matrimonial Miracle By RUTH CAMERON. N THE United States one marriage out of every twelve is such a com. I piete fallure that it ends in the divorce court. When you remind people of that fact, they exclaim in horror ani amazement. They seem to forget a fact which s much more umazing. Namely, that eloven out of every twelve marriages are comparatively successful. When you think it over doesn't that seem the more remarkable fact to you? It does to me. A Young woman came to me the other day to ask if 1 knew of place where she could get a pleasant room. “Why 1 thought you had an unusually comfortable room where u are,” 1 sald. “So I have,” she conceded, “‘and 1'm perfectly satisfied with the room. But I'm sick to death of the people in the house. You know I've been there four years, and that's too long. They're pleasant people enough, but they've just got on my nerves,” Again, a young man who had an excellent position as a private secre- tary has recently taken less pay in another man's employ. “I'm doing it for two reasons,” he explained. “One is that I think 1 have a better chance of rising in my present position, and the other is that I couldn’t stand Mr. R. any longer on any terms. 1 never used to think I had any nerves, but in the last two vears he has showed me that I have. IHe's got some of the most trying tricks that a man ever had. 1 didn’t mind them at first, but after 1'd stood them for about two yeafs they began to get my goat. Gee whiz, how I pity his wife,” Two young women who had always been great friends went away on a long vacation together. They had a very pleasant vacation and vyet—* think next time I'll Ko alone,” one of them told me, “Lucy is a dear and | like her as much as ever, but 1 can’t have the freedom I have alone. Of course when there are two people each has to give up and compromise and It’s hard when you've been used to having your own way. Besides, to tell ypu the truth, Lucy is just the least bit wearing when you are with her all the time. Of course, I don’t doubt she feels the same way about me. One more little incident and then I'm through. When an English but- ler who had worked fourteen years in one family and always seemed satis- fled, gave notice, his employer asked him why he left, “Well, sir,” said the butler, 1 didn't mean to telt you but as long you ask and have to know, sir, it's just this: I'm so blamed sick of sir, and your whole family, and your house and your table, and your whiskers, sir, that 1 can't stand it any longer.” Now think it over, Marriage is the closest, the least elastic.and the most protracted of all human relationships, If all these people find these comparatively loose relationships a strain and a burden, what of marriage? Am I forgetting all about love, you ask me? Not at all, my friend. On the contrary I'm moved to do love new honor, since marital love and its ultimate form, glorified friendship, hag a goodly share In bringing about this modern miracle—that eleven out of twelve marriages are comparatively successtul, any you, even Tt Coe Save the Babies.
