There are no packed joints, sheet iron parts or brick linings in these Boilers, and the “Heat Ribs” cast on the in- teriors are found in no others.

These strips of vividly colored ! satin, however, are veiled by the ! transparent fabric of a full length tunie, so that their effect is far from striking. One of the best among these semi-elaborate or restaurant dinner gowns is a black charmeuse whose full skirt, irregularly looped under at the hem, shows glimpses of a silver embroidered net petticoat. Threads of silver mingle faintly with the em- broideries of its girdle, and they show even less obtrus 1y about its semi-low ‘decol- letage. The most careless observer of clothes would not deseribe this model as an all black gown. Yet its silver | reliefs are scarcely worth mentioning. larly well suited to the matron. To Make One Look Slim, 1f this matron is a large person she will do well to consider a black and blue dress whose upper portion, a blue pailletted net bodice cut straight P across the shouders, falls loosely to A0 | the hips and ignores the waist in a E", way which makes for a slender effect. | Sleeves covering the wrists add an ap- pearance of length to the arms— where there is length avoirdupois is less obvious—and the shape of the hips is disgnised by a diagonally placed paillette bordered black girdle crossed low at the left side. The gir- dle’s ends mingle with the straight falling folds of a black satin skirt, a trifle lifted at one side to show a blus paillette bordered net petticoat. This Manager Lynch has booked a strong series of pictures for presentation on Sunday evening. There will be eight reele of the finest works of motion picture making. “Little Johinny Jones,” the present attraction, is one of the most delight- ful of the season. With the large producing company, special scenery and effects it is an attraction well worth seeing, The players score great hits in this bill. “ROBIN HOOD” IS NEXT PARSONS’ PLAY MISS WILLARD, cular Mid-Air Feats Once With Barnum’s, RNIE & HERMANN, The Ginger Boys FOR SALE BY J. 0.

Kendrick feels his duty impels him toward %he North, and acts accordingly. Colonel Thorpe, a rival of Kendricks for Maryland's hand, joins the Confeder- ! ate army. General Kendrick, Alan father, resigns his commission in the | Union army and assumes command of | a Southern Brigade. A year later, Alan is captured within the Confeder- ate lines wearing a Conferderate coat over his Union uniform, He is tried by court marshal, with his father presiding, and condemned to die. | Maryland procures a note to General Kendrick, asking for a stay of execu- tion, but General Kendrick has been killed in battle and Coionel Thorpe, Alans bitterest enemy, is in command. Kendrick is a prisoner in the tower of an old church upon the main floor of which Thorpe makes his head- quarters. Maryland appeals to Thorpe for clemency without result, and dur- ing a violent scenc she renders Thorpe unconscious and aids her sweetheart to escape. Kenarick re- covering, bids the watchman ring the hell -of the church and warn the guards.
