This wonderful quartet rarely leaves the big cities on account of its popularity and it was through chance greatly that the management secured their signatures to a contract to play here. But little has to be said concerning their specialty as their name at the head of any variety program is suffi- cient to insure crowded houses at ev- ery performance. Keeney audiences have seen nurnerous acrobatic turns, some having 4 great deal ot merit but if the “dope” from the booking counts = for anything, this week's headliner will be a total eclipse to all others, The management also places great ! hopes in the Five Armstrongs, a :company of comedy cyclists, whose act has been highly praised by critics in every city where they have ap- | peared. They are expected to vie leth the headliner for first honors. { .Marie d’Arville, the popular Paris- ;lan comedienne, will have a promi- jnent place on the program. Marie will give a song revue and will intro- | duce some of the dances which won i her a place of such importance on i the French stage. { Whalen, West and Whalen will ap- ipear in a screaming comedy and Connor and Mann will entertain with , a/ black face song and conversational {dumber. The turn last mentioned i is said to be out of the ordinary. i | BATTLE OF THE WEAK BIG FILM AT FOX’S “The Battle of the Weak™ is the { leading picture at the Fox theater to- day.

They should be ' thoroughly sprayed or sponged off at least twice a week. Keep them away from cold draughts as much as possible. Every other week water themi with suds from the laundry tubs after -the clothes have been washed, and keep a sharp eye for insects. There is a whole-wheat raisin bread that tastes as good as cake and is much better for the children. It is made in the following way: Use three cupfuls of milk, one cupful of water, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half cupfuls of raisins, one yeast cake and whole-wheat flour. Scald the milk, add the salt and when | lukewarm the dissolved yeast cake:l stir in flour enough to make a soft dough; beat well and stand in a warm | plice until very light and sponsy. | Then add the raisins, floured and | seeded, and enough more flour to | make a rather stiff dough.

Butterflles and moths appear to fly over them, and are embroidered upon the silk web- bing of the stockings in brilliant col ors, while wonderful rainbow effects are produced by bead embroideries. The two-brimmed hat is most be- coming to many pretty faces. White duvetyn is chosen for the top brim, which is so flat as to almost do away with the appearance of a separate crown.
