Althougn used in various shades, it undeniably is smartest in white, relieved in some instances by colored buttons, girdle, collar, hat trimming and parasol lin- ings. A flower or fruit wreathed hat is often worn with a white flanne: frock. i The simplest model in flannel nas a skirt laid in fine pleats, stitchea flatly from waist to knee, where it flares " .slightly. 'Like most of the beach skirts worn by slender girls, the hem of this one merely brushes the instep. A moderately wide belt in flat embroidery separates the skirt from the upper section, which is a combination blouse and jacket. Its loosely gathered fronts open to the belt over a surpliced chemisette in white batiste, the Normandy collar ot which flares high about the neck. The wide back and the narrow side forms, straight from shoulders to hips, where they are gathered into a band of embroidery extended across the skirt From the front the gar- ment’s effect is of a drawn-in jacket worn over a-belted bodice. Sleeves set plainly into normally placed arm- eyes gradually widen toward the ei- bow. Half way to the wrist their fulness is held in at the under side of the arm by a row of buttons, which run under turned-back bana cuffs. The close, intricate pattern of embroidery is of the flattest sort and is particularly good on this all-white model. exactly under what conditions and in what environment the gay and blithe- some choristers labor. However, it is not only the chorus girl who is going to be investigated. The probe will extend to every em- ploye of a theater or a theatrical com- pany from the business manager down to the stage hand; even the press agent will be examined and put under oath to tell the truth if he can, and the ushers, box office men, “grips” and “props” will be sum- moned to appear and testify as to the character and nature of their work. i It is the purpose of the industrial commission to make a thorough in- ‘quiry into every department of the theatrical business, paying much at- tention also to the vaudeville agencies and the picture houses. There are at present eighteen bills pending in congress for the establishment of a bureau of employment by the United States government, but none. of these measures will be acted upon until the industrial commission has finished its investigations, which may take an- other year. The chorus girls of Broadway need have no fear of the statesmen. They are for the most part genial, kindly, elderly, gentlemen, with warm hearts and open hands. They will leave their wives and families at home on this junket. | TWO HEADLINE ACTS ON KEENEY'S BILL Two ‘acts regularly headlined in first class vaudeville playhouses, Harry Fisher Ward and company and the Four Famous Richards will do duty as spedial attractions at Keeney's this week.

ELEANOR SOTHERN WEDS REAL COUNT She Graced Broadway Stage For Many Years.—Entertains Lavishly Now. New York, July 13.—Sad news for stage door Johns. The beautiful Eleanor Sothern, who graced the stage of many a Broadway show, who fascinated ad- mirers two years ago at the Winter Garden, and once even decorated a Ziegfeld aggregation, has retired from the stage. She is actually and really count- ess. To be sure, Italian counts are plentiful, but the particular count | Who has annexed Eleanor is a bone- There are ' fide affair, a special consular agent of the Italian government, stationea at New Orleans, and a hero of the re- cent war in Tripoli where he attainea the rank of captain and fought vali- antly against the hated Turks, and even sustained a bullet wound in his left hand. 3 His name is Count Antonio Maroni, he is well known and popular in New Orleans, and his wife, the present countess, is rapidly forging to the front as a social leader. Eleanor Sothern is a Chicago girl, who made her debut at the La Salle theater in the Windy City several years ago. She first dazzled the critics in “The Girl Question.” She was then reported engaged to William E. Bur- lock, manager of the company for Harry Askin. Through the advertis- ing given her by Burlock, she was able to get a good New York engage- ment. She played New Orleans with “The Merry Countess’” a year ago, while Burlock managed a Savage show. This separation was Burlock’s undoing, for the wily count met the beautiful show girl and persuaded her to leave the company. Now news comes from New Or- leans that Eleanor is a real countess, with a crest on her stationery and on her motor car, and that she has lav- ishly entertained several former chorus girl friends who happened to meet her at the dansant at the St. /| Charles hotel several days ago. » HONOR OF OLD GLORY WAR PICTURE AT FOX'S Motion picture productions ranging from three to eight reels in length, and those which have played all of the higher priced theaters only throughout the country will be shown at Fox’s theater hereafter and for the same popular scale of admission as heretofore charged.

These mas- ter productions will each be shown for one day only, and are really extra features as they are offered in addi- tion to the regular program of stan- dard first run photo dramas and comedies. ‘‘A Fight for Freedom,” a vivid Russian drama in four striking parts with Miss Claire Whitney, the famous screen star, and James O’Neil, the talented legitimate actor, in the leading roles will be shown today for the inauguration of the added attrac- tions. The story is dramatic in the extreme, and it depicts the conditions as they really exist in Russian diplo- matic cireles. “Dreaded Siberia,” the hebitat of the Russian exiles, with its barren snow fields and dungeon cells is clearly shown, and dur- ing with sentimental and stirring situa- ticns one is held deeply inter- ested and spellbound to the very end. “For the Honor of Old Glory,” or the Stars and Stripes in Mexico, reel American drama of the Mexican war, depicting the life of our brave boys on the frontier will be shown for Tuesday only. $22.50 to $25.00 dresses for $10.

Currants for jam or jelly should be picked dry. Scald new brooms in hot suds to toughen the fiber. If you wish fish to be crisp, do not cover it while cooking. ‘When serving apples whole on the table, polish them with olive oil. Celery is a good nerve tonic, and it is said to ward off rheumatism. If a chickén or duck is tough, steam it for an hour before roasting. ‘When ironing, have a number of coat hangers upon which to put waists, children's dresses, etc. The preserve closet should be cool and dark. If it has a glass door hang a black curtain over it. If the contents of the garbage can are drenched with kerosene dally it will discourage the flies. If the outside of wire screens are given a coat of white paint the out- side world cannot see in. Apply a few drops of paraffin to a cut and it will give instant relief and ! assist in the healing. Do not throw away one drop of sour milk, Many things can be made with it if ong knows how, The furniture will be improved by being wiped off occasionally with a cloth dipped in linseed oil. Sliced pineapple is much more de- licious if sliced and sugared about twelve hours before serving.
