Her splendid artistry, however. renders the French actress capable of giving an unusual- ly powerful rendition of the charac- ter ond she succeeds admirably in bringing out the deep emotional side of Henriette.

This popu- lar theater is kept cool by a modern ventilating fan system and a cooler spot cannot be located in town. The air is kept changing constantly and the cooling breezes, artificially made, make the theater a delightful place to spend an evening, no matter what the temperature may be outside. Comfort is not all that Keeney’s offers. Entertainment of the highest class is given every day and the pro- gram is so diversified that all tastes should be suited.

It is eminently graceful and attractive and can be put: to many uses. There is a plain founda-u tion skirt over which is arranged the’ flounce and this flounce can be plaited, or .gathered as the material may render desirable. The pointed tunic is graceful| in the extreme, gives most becoming; lines and is a well deserved favorite. Here, the tunic is made of white taffetaj and the flounce is of lace, but it would be pretty to use crépe, accordion plaitedi for the flounce, with taffeta or faille for thel tunic, or, to use taffeta th.mughaut_oq faille throughout, for taffeta silk and faille silk are impe t in the latest fashions. ) For a simpler skirt, wool materials or the; mixtures of silk and wool that are to bej worn so much throughout the autumn, ‘would be very desirable.

The first mentioned is a Selig six reel feature. It was shown last night before \an audience that was most appreciative. It was a breezy western comedy and there are bushels of laughs while it is being unwound from the reel. Probably the most popular vaude- ville attraction on the bill is the act of Dunninger, a clever illusionist. Mystifying feats of sleight of hand end cabinet mysteries as well are in- cluded in this performer’'s repertoire. Dixon. and Murphy have an amusing song and conversation specialty, which they bill as “High Finance.” The dialogue is very funny and the songs interpolated by the couple are pleas- ingly rendered.

This friend had undoubtedly been try- ing to put her’in a position where she would have to offer the machine. Horrid of the friend, you say. ‘Why Don’t They Stou Being Poor? Oh, yes, of course. But you see she is poor and she knows the loan of the machine would mean nothing to the other woman, who is com- fortably off, and to her it meant the saving of several dollars She didn’t see just where she was going to get those dollars and so she did it. Poverty does make people do horrid things sometimes. One would think they’d have some sense of decency and stop being poor. Incidentally the woman who wouldn’t be pushed was poor once her- self. But then that's the sort of thing one forgets as quickly as pos- sible. And Then She Balked. Another acquaintance of mine who has recently married has an un- known married friend. A man whom she seems somewhat interested in the unmarried friends and the unmarried friend reciprocates and is eager for opoprtunities ta meet him. The young wife made several such oppor- tunities and then she began to feel that she was being pushed into it. Whereupon she balked. = She didn’t want to be forced to help them. “Her way may be better,” I heard a young mother say of advice from an qlder woman; ‘“but I'm not going to be forced into doing things against my will.” . 44 k. 44, How Our Spines Do Stiffen. Thigqffick oljéction to beihg forced into things is instinctive most of us. ur- ‘spines stiffen at the first suggestion of a push. ‘But because it.is instinctive is it necessarily something to be proud of? I think the people of whom I have spoken were proud of it and I think most of us fancy that an objection,to being pushed shows we have wills of our own. 1 suppose it does and yet—well, let’s not forget that there is a cer- tain animal who most emphatically objects to being pushed. Few peo- ple like to be compared to him. el e . | A SMART BOX Fads Fashions ’ and | COAT FOR THE JUVENILE THIS F+.
