Fashion dictates dress, batit leaves the proper application of itsde- sigms to the individual. Insome parts of the far Orient the female figur is never altogether hidden, and fre- quently it is lavishly exposed, but without t intention.

The stage is gradually assuning its proper sphere in the world. Tallented men and women, are seking it, and theirassodlation caniot ~belp but be ben” efichl.

They want o kind of play thatis at least up to theirown in telligence a kind of wtor or actress whose merit liesin what they do on the stage, not what they do off of it. They want artistio not indecent display.

The opening attractin of Miss Rose ) u's engugement atthe Boyd Monday, esday and Wednesdiy evenings will be “Peg Woflington” It secns amost as though the play was written for Miss Coghlan, so complately does she idmtafy her- self with the ever varying characters of the bighearted, vllcm\ls. noble and withal rol- ing Peg. You almost forget Miss Coghlan and see only the actress, now bubbling over wilh wit, memiment, sarastn, then changin =40 the tenderness of wonan’s devotion, and finuly givingup the onedream of truthand love to securethe happiness of a mother, In this character Miss Coghlan runs thrugh the whole gamutof emotions of the heart andbrain. A very plesant innovation in the first act is the sutely King Gerge mimuet danced by Miss Coghlan and her company.

Henry E Dixey, who has probably seen his best days asa popular comedian, is an all- night fellow, fod of men’s society, but un- popular with the women of hiscompay, for he isa martinet, anda rather brutal one, in busmess. His associations are seldom with the members of his company. however; he prefers hard drinkers and undoubtedly has lost prestige in neglecting his business in favor of all-night bouts. Louis Harrison likes few people. He is a brainy man and prefers the discussion of ab- struse subjects to the ordinary tittletattle of the profession ; ho hates gatherings ad says tnatno club compares with his home. Do Wolf Hopper is s awfully popular mau in his set, and in fact a great portion of his stage success is due to his Ihm‘f n mak- ing personal friendships.

How the Wages of Janitors are Graded andthe Manner of Their Elecction to the Position which They Ocoupy. Although they donot teach, the jnitors of the public schoolsof the cityare so closely associated with thecourse of education that they arelooked upon by the memvers of the school ard as @ part of the machinery ot the sctiools. There are forty-two of these people, one for every school house withinthe corporate linits, ad lst month the total amount of their payroll amounted to §2,750.50. The general public has but little idea of the duties to be peformed by the janitors. That no mistakes may be made, the bord furnishes each Janitor witha codeof laws, pertaining to the requirements of the psition. In this code there are numerous rules, mnning from ‘A" to “M" and according to the exuct lnguige of the rules, cach juiitor shall be required: To thoroughly sweep thebuilding inhis rge each aftemoon after the close of sthool, and o earofully dust desks. sets, doors, windows, balusters, ete,on eich morn- h 4o hour as to alliw the dust to witle before the opening of schuol, Out- house e swept on each evening. o wasi the floors of each bullding onc. amonth, and the floors and seats of the o aryto tusure cleantin o builifires n the moming according fons from the prineipal, but alvays early enoughto insure i proper temperatire i 4. m,and supply the necessary fuel for theday s use. 4.
