The placing is par. ticularly puzzlin: One not accus tomed to seeing a so-called drapery starting at the Empire waist line— + enly a few inches below the armpits— of a bodice. Yet this is what happens to a black tulle dance frock whose | draperies consist of a double tunic, or ! twin flounces, of the pleated transpar- | ency, deeply scallopeda at the lower | edge: The shorter tunic, starting under a girdle of silk roses, drops to ! below the hips, while the longer one falls to the knees and upon a full, | round skirt of white lace, whose de- sign is jet bead outlined.

The proposed deal nat- urally brought Jones and his friend into contact with Judge Spotswood, attorney for the Gum company. and his family, and the acquaintance brought in all the remaining big parts in the play. ‘While the piece is a Cohan produc- tion, it does not possess any of the musical features of “Forty-five Min- utes from Broadway,” which had such a successful presentation at the Lyceum two weeks ago, but it abounds in bright lin and good humor and { { and narrow lieved that the only possible skirt for them wa$ the one going the straight W A fetching example of the oddly shaped double drapery is a model whose flounces of old blue fuille have a fascinating way of point- ing deeply at either side, albeit trifling rippling because caught up.

Mr. Cross in- terpreted the character of “Broadway, Jones™ very skilfully, bringing out all the comedy and making prominent all tHe numorous situations.

Such a graceful, pretty negligee as thi one will find a place no matter how many there may already be in the wardrobe it can be cut in full length or in sacqué length, and many women will want both, for each serves 3 different purpose and both are charming. Empire lines are always, becoming, always pretty for negligees, and the way in which the gown is cut and planned means that it is ex- tremely simple and easy to make. The body portion and sleeves are in one and the skirt portion is laid in just a few tucks at the upper edge to give fullness. pn the figure, a pretty flowered challis is the material with trimming of silk. In the back view,silk and wool crépe is shown, and both these materials are good and there are many others that are equally available. The cotton crépes are charm- ing in color and in design, cashmere, alba- tross and challis are desirable for cool days and there is a big variety of suitable silks both in plain colors and in figured designs.

'GREAT JUGGLER ON KEENEY'S PROGRAM in a Among the interesting features of the show at Keeneys' this week is the act of the Great Chiyo, the famous Japanese balancer and foot juggler. This clever little fellow has some mighty interesting feats in his re- pertoire and his act made a hit with the first nighter: Chiyo is a new | ar in this countr and it is through good work on the part of | Ambassador Gerard that he is now | performing. With other members of i+ his race a well as English, French and Russian subjects, Chiyo was ! made a prisoner of war in Berlin, , Germany. some three months ago. | He was performing in the German capital at the time and his protests | that he had no intention of fighting against the kaiser’s forces availed him | not. The little Jap says that while | the Germans are extremely kind, their ; treatment of the prisoners of war could be improved. The food served | to him was Chiyo’s principal for complaint. He told a | i i breakfast, potato soup for dinner and paste made from flour and water for supper. He was one of the most pleased men on the con- | tinent, he says, when the American ambassador, who is looking out for the interest of the allies in the Ger- i man capital, secured his release. The bill this week is without a headliner. Not that the ‘acts are of | mediocre worth and undeserving of such distinction but owing to the fact that all numbers are. of such high merit that it would be difficult to single out one for special position. One of the most entertaining num- bers is that which presents The Three Boyds. These are versatile en- ; tertainers of the first rank.

The second act displays Mary in her apartments, four years later, a “within the law fleecing unsuspecting and yet never breaking the law. Several other clever crooks are introduced.

The deadly seriousness of a | practical joke, played by his sister on Waldo on his return form Heidelberg is only the beginning of a series of incidents cleverly woven around a war story that will grip vou, and the final dramatic moment comes when Laura Sawyer the daughter answers a question which decides the question of life or death for her fa- ther.
