Press Agents Tell 1 of fheatrical Bills “CAUGHT IN THE RAIN” AT LYCEUM TONIGHT This evening the Lyceum Players will open the week's engagement at the Lyceum in William Collier and Grant Stewart's most popular com- edw “Caught in the Rain.” There is a fine run to the comedy in the lines and when it is said that it was cre- ated to make the theater-goers laugh no mistake is made. Bven the most chronic theater patron will find so individuality in this up with the fun provoking situations and the pointed comedy. Members of the Lyceum company have been most congenially cast and new laurels will be won. Miss Skirvin character for role of ‘“Muriel “Dick Craw- the Mason.” Bashful ford,” Mr. Collier’'s rote, will' be assumed by Mr. Cross. Mr. Sage has been happily cast and a fine part is Locke. Johnny Mullin comedy role, appearing as = “George Washington ‘White.” Mrs. Hibbard will assume the character of ‘Mrs. Meriden,” played originally by Helen Collier Garrick. It | will be one of the best parts she has had. tiful, The matinees will be played as usu- The stage settings will be beau- | al Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. BIG ANiMAL ACT KEENEY HEADLINER “I thought we had shown 'em all the animal acts ever thought of but 1 was wrong, my boy,” said P. 8. Mc- Mahon today in talking of the big headliner hilled for Keeney's this week, “We have billed Swan’s alliga- tor circus,” he continued, “and expect to show local theatergoers one of the biggest novelties in vaudeville.” Man- ager McMahon was in New York yes- terday to arrange for chartering a special car to bring the ’gators to this city. The animals are very sen- sitive and have to receive great care. { While they are a ferocious lot | Trainer Swan has them under perfect control at all times and he has taught them ® series of really remarkable { tricks. The act has been a big draw- ing card wherever it-has -been pre- sented and it was booked for New BEritain at a fancy price. The Two Franks, formerly one of Barnum and Bailey’s best attractions, will provide another of this week's sensations. They are acrobatic won- ders and have a sensational specialty. Paul Florius, the king of xylo- phonists, will give a concert on his favorite instrument. Paul will offer a program of popular as well as classical pieces. Sufferers from tangoitis may learn some new and artistic steps from the Dancing Smiths, three clever disciples of Terpsichore, who will be numbered among the talent this week. These people won great praise in New York, where they appeared two weeks ago. Lorraine and Lorraine, popular en- tertainers and Mabel Carew, a dainty singing comedienne, will sing a few popular hits.

No Man Need Fear Mai‘rying Washington Irving Girl High School Course Includes Dressmaking and Millinery and a Graduate Can Make Her Own Clothes— One Girl Explains It All New York, April 27.—Dressmaking and millinery are among the impor- tant courses taken by the girls of the ‘Washington Irving High school and they do wonderful things in making their own clothes. Some of the girls even before they have been graduat- ed make most of the family gowns in addition to their own, Some of them do the work at home and-oth- ers make it a part of the class work. It is good practice to make a little sister’s frock. hen the girls have a “Walk Around” in the 'school—something like the fashion exhibits in the shops, but with a difference-—they show re- markably pretty gowns that they have made for very little money. One of the W. I. H. S. girls who was grad- uated last year and is just completing a post graduate course has made out a table showing how a woman can start an entirely new wardrobe and have everything she needs for the entire year for $150, if she does a good deal of the work herself, She is Miss Jeanne Causeret. A graduating present from her father was a dress form and now she is go- ing home to use it. “I shall make my mother's clothes and mine,” says Miss Jeanne, “and with what one does around the house that is enough to keep busy. Of course my mother helps. She sews beautifully but she does not know some of the things that I learned. Of course she tells me some things. Now {I have the form I can fill it out to her size and I can fit her -easily. “This table I have made out will dress a' woman very well and of course a girl going to school could do with much less. This allows for an entire wardrobe as one would have to have if one had been burned out and I-Rave included everything in $150.” Here is the table: Year’s' Wardrobe for $150, SHOES— Black ties White canvas pumps Two pairs black high shoes Rubbers $2.00 1.50 6.00 .50 HATS— Best winter hat Best summer hat Everyday winter hat Everyday summer hat $3.00 3.00 2.00 2.00 COATS— Summer coat .

The cost of the hats would not allow for a real ostrich plume, but if one has one it lasts from year to year. It is better to buy the coats and good ones can be bought for the prices I have given. The winter coat must be warm and I know cheviot and chin- chilla can be bought for $15. With the suits it is better to have a tallor make the coats. The woman herself can make the skirt. There is some- thing in the making by the tailor; but there is more in the pressing. “For the winter morning gown to work about the house T have allowed for a simple serge. It might be a wash gown if one had a heated house, but with a house not heated the would be better. It is easy to keep it fresh by wearing an apron and there are good cleaning fluids if one hap- pens to get a spot. Benzine is the best but it is very dangerous. ) won't let my mother get benzine, “For dresses the three summer morning 1 allow a dollar each. We had to make a dollar dress in our course. 1 made a linen dress with embroidered collars and cuffs. Those, of course, must all be made at home. The winter afternoon gowns would be of poplin or broadcloth and those for summer of some pretty silk. The summer evening gown would be voile trimmed with satin and the winter sown messaline, crepe de chine or something of that kind. “It never pays to make clothes at honie. You have to hunt around to get a little piece of lace of this kind and another of that, and they will bring up the cost. 1t is much cheaper to buy ready made. Very pretty and attractive things can be bought very low, particularly at the white sales. Skirts 'are much cheaper to buy than to make. You will not get as good material as you would put in yourself, but they will wear long enough and are very pret- ty. Of course if one was making a trousseau, that would be different, and it is very nice to have things made by hand.” ’ . Shopping to Advantage. Shopping to advantage is one of the things that the girls learn when they are making their own clothes, and Miss Causeret showed the material for a pretty summer wash gown which she purchased yesterday in one of the big shops for<fifty cents a yard the day before, and the next morning it was. gelling - at the regular price, $1.15. ; “Would you like to see my hat?” asked the voung woman after she had showed her bargain in dress goods. “It is all wool and a vard wide,” she added with a laugh, as she exhibited a pretty little black straw hat with a black silk crown and trimmed with little pink roses. A dark blue silk fold was on the inside next the fac “Two hats for ninety-five cents, she said proudly. “My mother simply roars at my milliner) straw and put it on this frame. The crown was a part of a waist that 1 made for my mother. The blue silk is from a petticoat that I think was twenty-filve years old and the roses T bought for a winter hat and then didn’t use them. The green satin on my other.hat is.a- little-that was left from this dress. ‘“This dress is a very pretty one of dark green with a fancy collar, a little smocked vest or front of white, and chiffon sleeves. little gown and oné of the home-made ones. No young man need be afraid of marryihg a Washington Irving girl who has taken the course. The $150 being for an en- tire new outfit, it can be understood that the girl with last year’s wardrobe to draw upon reduces even that very reasonable cost.” A Menu for Tomorrow —— Breakfast.

Business Wanderlust By RUTH CAMERON. “Every young man is @ssayed in the mind of his im- mediate superior from the day he begins work, and after a time, if he has merit, he is assayed in the council chambers of the firm.” Andrew Carnegle. advice. He was suffering from what, for want of a better term, I call business wanderlust. He felt that the work he was doing did not begin to tax his capabilities; he wanted a chance “to grow.” v “It's a small place and a =mall concern. It seems to me that it I shift to a larger city and a bigger concern, 1 will get along faster. What do you think?” he asked, I thought immediately of a conversation I had had only a few days before, with the head of one of the largest concerns of its kind in New York. The president, prosperous, efficient, sat facing me in his private, office. The talk somehow shifted to the subject of business success, % “Twenty ‘years ago,” he sald, laughing, “I thought I was side-tracked ’ for life. At that time I was a chemist in a small drug concern upstate. : I could see no chance to grow. I should have moved to New York and * struck out anew, if it had not been for my wife and children, r ““As near as I could see, I was stagnating. 1 knew that the wbrk I was doing did not begin to tax my capabilities. Still, it was my work-and, I was fond of it.* So I plugged ahead. i “I shall never forget nfy surprise when, one day, the man who founé- ed this business wrote and asked me to come to New York and see him. I knew him only by name. And cven greater was my surprise when he offered me the position of general manager. . “‘But what do you know nbout me? I asked. ‘Oh, I heard of your work and I have been keeping an eye on you for some time.' “Of course I took the position—jumped at it. Nowadays, when I hear of young men being side-tracked somewhere, and feeling as if the current of life was sweeping by, leaving them hopelessly stranded, I smile. The man who is doing an honest, falthful, eficient day's work, six days every week, is never stranded. Somewhere, somebody is watching him’e “And I am ever so glad that I never became discouraged, and never slackened up in my work.” This is what I told the young man who asked my advice. Now I pass it along to all of my reader friends who feel that their work is a very little part of what they could accomplish if they only hdd a chance—a chance they fear they will never get. Perhaps somewhere, somebody is watching you; perhaps your chance is on the way. THI‘J other day a young friend of mine came to the house to ask my &2 ————~ AN, We give Royal Gold Trading Stamps.
