ps"" Adelaide Thurston In a comedy worth
while Is a real treat; and thin reason Mian
Thurston has a play ttMt Is really north
while. It la Juut a trifle) better than a
farce, although In places It Is broadened
at to give a farcical quality; Ita comedy Is
genuine, and It la as full of good lines
as It will hold. Mrs. Cunning Is known am
a wit, and has given her keen womanly
fancy full play In this regard, ao that her
comedy not only sparkles, but It actually
urprlxe. The story la that of an 'old"
maid of 33, who has nursed back to life
and health a man who has been seriously
hurt In a motoring accident, save that his
eyesight la apparently destroyed. He
chooses to fancy that hla nurse la younn '
nd fair, and aeveral other things that she
Isn't, and she, relying on his blindness, per
mits him to think so. Than his eyesight Is
restored, and the necessity of saving her
from the consequences of her deception af
ford tha action of tha comedy. It Is done
in. a moi' satisfying way, too.
k Miss Thurston has made much progress
alnie her last visit to Omaha. Sh ia none
tha lesa personally attractive; her voice
Is aweet and alluring, and lends Itself to
dainty comedy with a peculiar charm, and
ia used with excellent precision and affect.
Her conduct, ranging from demure co
quetry, through girlish Joy to womanly
aoberness, Is convincing, and In every way
aha pleasea.
Her company la good, and one member
of It la a real hit. Miss Karby as the
hobbledehoy daughter of th Beekman
family, a modern girl, full of slang and
good fellowship, and occasional Imperti
nence, la a success but little below that
achieved by the atar. Ml Thnninn i-
fortunata in belna- surrounded hv .,i,-h
pie. It gives a proper background for her
own work.
Many Omaha people restrained any im
pulse they 'might have felt to attend th.
theater last night, but those who did go
njnyed tha offering thoroughly and frankly
attested, tha fact by thalr applause. The
others will not regret It If they attend
during tha rest of the engagement.

Miss Du Hols has a part that seema

him. We talked for hours. Hi first name

again very soon. I made up my mind that
I wouldn't allow him to call again for fully
a week. Tsecause It's so nice not to see
people when they want to see you some
times, as then they want to see you still
more. He called up two daya afterward,
but I thought I might as well hae him

I couldn't go out.

or at a crowded tea. If I lke the man I
always say "How simply perfect It
sounds." And, of course, It would be lovely
to live on one with somebody you were
very mueji n love with. But U seems odd
that they all think I am no. well fitted for
the life. If I am fond of a person I al
way like the thlnga they do, o, natur
ally, I should adore a farm if my husband
did.
When I thought of marrying Fred Htan
hope I wa perfectly craiy about going to
the wilds of Mexico and living in a hut.
He said It would be so Ideal. PuVh mar
vellous scenery. And he was going to
make an Immense fortune In mines there.
And that time I liked I'eter Russell I
thought It would b wonderful to go to
the Klondike, where he said he could be
come very rich In three years. I love the
cold, anyway, and though 1 don't suppose
t would be very gay there, we could at
least have Borne bridge, I suppose. If a
young Esqulmo couple lived near us they
would probably be very glad t) play with
us. I wonder If Kaqulmo are aa greasy
as they look In pictures.
Teter had a friend who had been some
where near the north pole, and he had a
lot of photographs of them, and they
looked exactly as If they had spread butter
on their face.
It would be a splendid place to take a
flirtatiously Inclined husband, I should
think. Certainly none of the women In
those picture looked a bit alluring. Peter
was so weet. He ald he couldn't stand
being confined In an office In New YoTft.
He said It stifled him. He wanted to live
In the ppen air and be a savage. If not the
Klondike, South America. In fact, he
thought It would be ideal to wander all
over the globe.
He thought the only really natural way
to live was to be a tramp. He used to talk
about It In tha moat wonderful way. I
never was so trilled by anything In my life
as I was when he described how we could
be tramps together. We would never have
to bother about money or clothes. Just
have a pair of stout shoes and the whole
world before us. I thought it would be
lovely to have a little Island to go to when
we got tired of wandering. You could he
more of a savage on an Island, too, and It
would be better form.
Tom didn't like Peter a bit. It used to
irritate me frightfully, and I told him one
day that I didn't care what he thought
about him. and that I had almost made up
my mind to lie a tramp with him. It took
me hours to explain, but finally, to my tir-
The Boss of the Establishment had been
reading too many articles on tha cost of
living. At least his wife thought so and
as sh was th aole repository of his pessi
mistic deductions she waa a good Judge.

and keep down the butcher bill. In vain
he pointed out plausible dlHquisltlons by
beauty editors upon the inter-relation of
housework and liiplcxcnc, or the benefi
cial effects of sweeping upon tha feminine
arm.
"If the cost of living were not so high
what would those fellows have to write
about or you to read?' Inquired th lady
with inconsequential optimism. "And as
for housework, If you're thinking about
parting with me or Mary, remember the
rhyme:
" 'You ran do without wives, you can Qo
without cooks.
But show me the man who can do without
cooks.' "
It was a deliberate misquotation, and the
Boss realised it, but as he himself often
observed, he never argued with women.
They were actually so lacking in reason
ing powers that they never knew when
you had gotten the best of them.
However, toward the end of the month,
when his bank balance and his spirits took
a simultaneous drop, the lioss came home
one evening with a resolute Jaw and a
brand new and complicated account book
which he presented to Ills wife.
It was a very shiny, very bright real
affair, with separate columns for every
conceivable form of outlay, and the rady,
with true feminine caprice, proceeded to
be vastly pleased with it.
"I'll expect you to keep track of all ex
penditures," said the Boss sternly.
"Of courael Won't that be lovely?"
gushed hla wife. "Please Bit down and ex
plain all about It."
The Hons explained at length. He liked
explaining and before he had finished he
and his wife were agreed that th pur
chase of that 7&-oiit near luailivr account
book would, In a few years, save them
money enough to buy them a country heme
and an automobile to take the Bosa to th
railroad station that is, if he should deoide
to keep on working.
"Lvery cunt you spend, remember, goes
Into that book!" the Boss concluded.
"Nothing la to small a penny for a paper
a nickel fur carfare la as Important to
the record aa the price of your new suit.
Juat knowing where the money goes will
be a tremendous help."
"Suppose," aarggested his spouse, now
thoroughly enamored of her new toy and
proceeding to write her name and the date
In large character on the fly leaf "sup

been during the past month and can koep
that as a sort of financial high-water
mark something to figure on to find out
how much money we can save when we
get our account booking working. Wait a
minute and I'll see If Mary has kept the
butcher and grocer bills."
"That's not necessary," observed the
Boss in his lordliest manner. "I can give
you the amounts from my check book. I
am glad to see that at last you have begun
to take an Intelligent interest in our af
fairs." Ko saying he sharpened a pencil for his
wife, drew out his check book and pro

He read off the rent bill, the grocer'a and

gotten only about half through the month'
figures when he was Interrupted
"Wait a minute, dear. Ion't read me
any more till I figure up something."
There waa a brief pause during whloh
the lady added up the column of flgura
she had Jolted down.
Evidently Bhe remarked in a puulad
voice: "What doea 'cash' mean? I'v got
$108.57 so far and out of that amount 'cash'
got 140. Who la 'Caah 7' 1 mean what doe
that expression said for?"
"It stands for me, of coursel It mean
money I've drawn out for my necessary
personal expense!" the lioss explained
with dignity. "What'a the matter with
It? Are you trying to accuse me of ex
travagance?" ha asked.
"Oh no, dear," his. wife retorted meekly.
"1 Just thought If you could rememlr
what the checks were for it would help
keep our account straight. You aald w

Can't you recall what you paid that ll

"You don't understand, little one," ex
plained the Boss patiently. "It didn't So

that sort of tiling. "
"But doesn't ttO seem to you an awful
lot of money to put down for Incidental
expenea?"
Suddenly a green glint shot from th
lady's eye. Her voice held such aero pos
sibilities that the Boss thought he heard
his teeth chatter.
"Of course if you don't want to tell
me what you spent the money for" sh
said.
It was the Boss' one chance to escape,
and he took It.
"I see you don't understand such things,"
he observed loftily.. "But never mind.
Rather than have It create any trouble
between us I'll giv up the whol Idea.
Have you made up your mind what you
want me to buy you for Christmas yet?"

Old-Fashioned . Shawls Still Worn
j
jp
, nr
Young folk who don't remember th ,
great day of shawl must not Imagine
merely because they may see only a bit of
Indian, Paisley or broche used as trimming
for some suit, dess or trinket that shawls
are no longer worn or manufactured. A
number of mills In this country still make
shawls, and In view of the reduced pro
duction, find the business lucrative.
The fact that there has been such a great
falling off In the market has led many to
make the mistake of supposing that the
business has been entirely wiped out, but
the Textile Manufacturers' Journal says:
"There Is a neat, clean, smooth business
transacted In shawls year after year."
This Is not meant to Imply that the trade
la anything like what It wks in Its heyday,
whtn a woman' most treasured posses
sion, to be worn only on very special oc
casions, was a cashmere or camel's hi i
shawl, says the New York Sun. Then, In
the sixties and early seventies, when al
most every man, woman or child had hi
or her shawl, the books of a large Jobber's
firm showed a business In this article of
approximately StViO.OOO annually. In com
paring this with the present business of
the same firm, $10,000, It Is to be born In
mind that people no longer pay from 11,000
to $2,000 for a shawl.
The government I the shawl manufac
turer' largest customer, buying almost
100,000 a year for the Indian department.
In the south, mountain people atlll wear
shawls; In the east the trade la beat In
Pennsylvania, although, there are still
many sales mad up Nfew York state and
in rural New England. Because the de
mand comes principally from the west It
Is perhaps but natural that Chicago should
be the shawl center of thla country. Th
knit shawl Is made almost exclusively at
mlllir In or around Cleveland.
The retrogression of th shawl trade Is
not laid by the Textile Manufacturers'
Journal to the changing whim and fanclea
of women, but to ready-made suits and
cloaks and to the sweater. What on did
not do trying to furnish r. aubstltute for
the old shawl the other did. There waa
nothing left for It but to Chang It color
and take to the reservation and the moun
tain. But it I not dead by any mean
and It may yet com back.
