Reviews of Week’s Bills at Theaters “Caught in the Rain” Makes a Good Bill For Lyceum Patrons “‘Caught in the Rain,” a three act farce comedy by William Collier and Grant Stewart is the offering of stock company at the Lyceum this week, the opening performance be- ing giveén last evening. Like all such pieces the lines and situations are humoreus and they make a pleasing entertainment. There isn't any plot to speak of, there never is in farce, but there is enough to carry it along and to make the dialogue interesting. Dick .Crawford is not inclined to be fond of the society of women. He has a business pariner, James Max- well, who always gets what he goes after and he is desirious of obtaining possession of a mine and he finds the owner has promised to give it to his daughter when she becomes of age or when she marries. He wants Craw- ford to marry her at once and when he refuses he agrees to marry her himself, but does not do so in the {end. Mr. Cross played Crawford, | while Miss Skirvin was the girl whose and they had their best scene, full of comedy and nicely acted in the first act when they sought safety from a thunder shower under an awning on a street in Denver, Colorado. The scene was very realistic, the rain fall- ing in torrents, while they huddled together in the doorway. Mr. Locke was Maxwell, well dressed, full of bus- iness and very funny, while Mr. Birch was a dude in love with Miss Perry who loved her eastern home in Plain- ville. Both played well as did Mr. Mullin who had two parts and who was admirable in the character of the waiter in the hotel which made a specialty of nice ham and eggs. Mrs. Hibbard was Mrs. Meriden who liked the opposite sex and who was troubled with hay fever. Her sneez- ing scene was splendidly done. She ‘was presented. with a huge bouquet of flowers. Mr. Fuller, Mr. Sage and Walter Schmidt all had parts and car- ried them along acceptably. “Caught in the Rain” with its appropriate stage settings and beautiful dressing promises to be an attractive piece for Lyceum patrons this week.

Their act hag 'a pretty setting and their work on the whole merits approbation. | -Bubbling over with joy is Mabel Carew, singing comedienne, who is one of the favorites with the audi- ence.

Macaroni as an article of food is rather more valuable than bread. * Soup should never be boiled in an iron vessel; porcelain or granite iron are better. For the bathroom, cork mats which | can be rolled up are among the sen- sible accessories. Rag rugs made of cotton wash well, ere inexpensive and are often just the thing for the kitchen. If dumplings are kept boiling steadily from the time they are put in the pot until they are takeén out, they will be much lighter. Do not take the lid off oftemer than neces- sary. If making mayonnaise in warm weather, it will take only half the time if you put the dish in which you make the mayonnaise or a piece of ice. The oil and eggs should also be cold, Cheege is” our most concentrated food. It containg almost twice a3 much nutriment as any other known substance. Peing difficult to digest, it should be taken only in small quan- tities. Barley is so good in clear soup, but it should be cooked a long time. It is best to put it on to boil in =2 separate vessel and cook it until it is soft; then add it, water and all, to the soup. To preserve eggs it is only nec-. essary to close the pores of the shells. This may be done by varnishing or by dipping in melted suet, and then packing in salt with the small end downward.

War was the topic vesterday at the regular Sunday tea of tthe Women's Folitical Union, at 4 West 40th street, New York—not the war with .Mexi- co but that of the militants in Eng- iand, where, Miss Alice Perkins said, “war has bcen declared as regularly as it has not in this country.” Never before has the W. P. U. ccme out so frankly for Mrs. Emme- line Pankhurst and her army. The speeches of Miss Perkins, Mrs. John ‘Winters Brannan and Miss Rose Young rang with sympathy and admiration, and their words were punctuated with fiequent cries of “Good!” from .the audience. : Miss Anna Constable rose between speeches to ‘inquire why the news- papers had not censured the English government for “teaching the women to fight.” “Our reproach should indeed be against the government for forcing the women to fight,” said Miss Per- kins, “and the scandal of conditions in England will injure every other government. There is danger every- where when police mandates are de- fied and set at naught. This morn- ing's papers say that a girl member of the 1, W, W. is on a hunger strike in prison. I do not doubt that the &irl has a message, that she is of the stuff than can suffer for her cause, but does any one suppose that she' would have hunger struck had not English militants led the way?" 2 Mrs. Pankhurst's army, Miss Per- kins declared, was simply a step ahead of any other in the art of war. “Once,” she said, ‘“‘soldiers slew non-combatants as well as combatants, By the rules of modern warfare non- combatants are exempt. Mrs. Pank- hurst goes a step further and holds all human life sacred. I worked with her last summer and I know whatever may be said to have the contrary, the militants will always respect life, so long as they havel their leaders and are organized. Thelr war is on pro- perty, and in that they don’t go one step further than their leaders wish, “‘Some people have wondered what purpose there was in the destruction of the ‘Rokeby Venus.' Tourists will understand the purpose when they go to England this summer and see on on interest, not orily in London, but in every town: ‘Closed because Oof the suffragettes.’ England is in a state of war—a war which hy the estimate of one of the INew York papers tnis morning, has in the past twelve months cost that | country ‘a millien and a halt of dol- lars. *It is an ordered and well generalled war now, but if the movement should be crushed. if the leaders should be i killed and those thousands of women left with their bitter sense of wrong, it may become an underground strife .more terrible than anything that cxists in Russia.” Mrs. J. Remington Charter, a mili- tant, who has several times been in Jail, warmly denieid that the army could ever be left leaderless, “There are hundreds of splendid women to direct it until we win,” she said. Miss Young spoke of the spiritual aspects of the militant movement, “What they do is\not terrible,” she isah‘lA ‘It would be terrible if they sat jsupine under the wrongs they suffer : What the English women are doing !te win freedom is not nearly as ter- | rible as what the United States is | doing because Mexico didn't fire a sa- | 1ute of twenty-one guns.” | Mrs, Brannan said she wished to | brand as false the report, published in | a newspaper yesterday, that the Pank- hursts lived extravagantly and that the funds of the Women's Social and Po- litical Union were mishandled by them. “Never were any funds so carefully administered, any reports so perfectly kept as those of the W. §. P. U.” she eaild. ‘“As to Mrs. Pankhurst, she has not even a home. She lives, when she is not on her speaking tours, in a hall bedroom in a shabby hotel. She travels third class. “I traveled with her one broiling hot day from London to Manchester, and through the journey that Ilittle frail woman’sat in the crowded third class car, making way for the people as they entered, taking it as a matter of course. I was worn out when it was over, but Mrs. Pankhurst gave {no sign of complaint.” “I wish,” eried Mrs. Charter, “‘that all critics of the Pankhursts could see Sylvia as I saw her, lying on the bed in her room in an Bast End lodging house. She had a beautiful view of a fishmonger’'s yard.” It is very convenient, when sewing on the machine, to have a bag for scraps hung somewhere about the ma- chine, and as’the trimmings collect they can be tucked in the bag instead of falling on the floor to be picked up afterward, BEECHAMW’ -~ PILLS latest freaks. millinery continues, adopted far and near. in handkerchiefs. - Page of News for Theater Goers and Women Readers The Duty on “Bluff” By RUTH CAMERON. T IS unfortunate that s0 many Americans accept money as the stand: I ard of the man. A man with a great deal of money is very succ ful; a man with very little is not. And as we all want to appear Vi successful, we like to pretend to have money, whether we have it not. It is this senseless pretense that is killing much of the what should be a real joy—the opportunity to travel. “I never saw anything like the way Americans tip,” a much travell Englishman told me. “Coming over on the steamer, 1 heard my stew talking with another. They were comparing their tips. “ ‘Well,’ sald my steward, ‘I've got another American down here; he'll probably give me a pound, and there's an Englishman in 33, but he won' glve me more than five bob!’ " ] The steward, knowing human nature, knew that he could expect t dollars and a half more from the American than he could from the lishman. Not because he had rendered more service to one than to i other, but simply because one was American, the other English. This is true all over the world. In some places those who fatten tourists will appear in droves when an American ship arrives, and in fuls'when an English ship docks. % It would be nice to think that this .was generosity on the part of ti American. But it isn't. The Englishman tips for services rendered, certain stated amount. The American tips for show, as much as he afford, sometimes more. There are some people who can stand the strain. But there other Americans who, following in their wake and travelling on a © sum they have saved and which should cover all contingencies, are either to tip beyond their means, or suffer that annoyance which a vant can always subject you to, if he tries. The practice of tipping as far as Americans go, ‘has grown Il out | proportions. Those who wait upon us, when we travel, expect us 16 not for what they do, but for what we are, or what we try to appear te —financially. The American traveler, no matter where he goes, Within or with our borders, must pay a heavy, ever increasing duty on that well kno but wholly worthless American product—*"bluff.” ¥ o= FADS AND FASHIONS Pointed wings, large and small, are pleasure The cutaway coat still continues, in high favor.
