" FABRICS FOR SUMMER WEAR. (By Bettie Brown) Just as soon as the fever of “house- cleaning” is banished from the femi nine mind by the process of “working it off” the aforementioned mind turns promptly to the business and’ pleasure of assembling the deliciously cool and frilly summer wardrobe. Now is the time to shop delicate fabrics that clothe us with summer charm and comfort—but before sallying forth with purse and shopping list it is well to prepare the mind with fore-knowledge of what's what in fashionable fabrics, for bless you, even materials have) their seasons of popularity, and who would wish to wear chambray when all other persons appear In organdie? For instance, ladies, it is well recognizzed in the smartest shops of for the the I st cities that the fabrics which e essentially THE choice this season of 1919 are, in their order, organdie, ginghams and challis! If the purse is full, and the seam- stress skillful, choose one of each material and be sure you're right— but if only one may be had buy organdie! All the familiar pastel shades are n favor—with the addition of some gorgeous new futurist designs and colows. ‘When the frock is all of organdie FOX’S THEATER. Theda Bara, the brilliant Fox star, in “The Siren’s Song,” is the attrno- tion at Fox's tonight, with the third chapter of “The Tiger's Trall and a high class vaudeville bill. “The Siren’s Song” is a powerful dramatic picture that tells in a new way the story of the eternal struggle of woman’s love and sacrifico.

Fox's vaudeville consists of Vento, the Handcuff King, who mystifies his audience by the speed and dexterity in which he escapes from both handcuffs and strait-jacket. His escapes from the latter, a regu- lation affair, leather bound and cop- per rivetted, in two minutes and ten seconds. Another astonishing exhi- bition, is one which he allows his hands to be securely lashed together behind his back, then tied to a stout chair, and covered with a bag.
