The Hach, number which was by request,
waa an ausplclaua opening. That difficult
nong of M.oart,. '"The Violet," was ao well
done that It thoroughly merited the huge
bouquet of violets which she received. In
the French songs, and especially In
Maman, dltes-mol" the singer gave evi
dence of her marked ability In Interpret-
ng the beautiful old ge.tis ot that dlf fl
it language, for to sing French aonga
la something wtilch comes only by
bard and unremitting work.
In the Schubert group Mlsa Muenchhoff
again proved what lias been said of her
In this column often before, namely, that
she Is especially gifted in this line: as a
"Lleder" singer Miss Mary Muenchhoff ex
ala. She sinus them as though she loves
Ahem, and her Intelligence shines through
ft lmm at all times. An Interesting ;roup
of songs by Hugo Wolf, Welngarther,
llumperdlnck and Walter Morse Rummel
made a brilliant close to a program whose
election Indicated thoughtfulness and
splendid taats.
Mis Muenchhoffs vtce Is at Its very
best In her middle tones, when she sends
them out, but sha has a tendency to be
too ungenerous with them: her upper tones
have the quality of a choirboy In an Eng
lish church, pure and clear and cold, but
dangerously near sharpness, which leads
some people to consider Mlsa Muenchhoffs
Intonation faulty: this flute-like "treble"
quality Mlsa Muenchhoff sometimes en
riches by darkening a little, with excellent
results, for then they ring out beautifully.
Mora warmth In the middle part of the
voice, and mors depth In the lower will
make Mlsa Muenchhoffs voice still more
beautiful than It bas been, and that Is say
ing much.
Without reflecting; In 'the least on Miss
lluenchhoff s singing, It must be admitted
that at times ens oould scarcely keep from
giving one's attention to the wonderful
accompaniments played by Mr. Max I.an

Muenchhoff are very rarely to be heard,
and It requires splendid ability on the part
of a singer not to be overshadowed tn such
a case. This Is a high compliment to Miss
Murnchhoff that her work was so con

a background. Not that Mr. bandow at

Iienman Thompson's "Old. Homestead"
Is to be at the Brandels all next week.
This evergreen pastoral la being presented
with all Its original effectiveness, and by
a company that has been especially selected
and trained under Mr. Thompson's personal
direction. A matinee will be played on
Wednesday. The prlcea have been reduced
for the engagement.
The Eva ldnt players at the Uoyd this
week are pleasing large houses at every
performance with "Koldlera ot Fortune."
This fine play, with Ita swift action and
splendid romance, Is making Itself very
popular, and the comments on Its produc
tion are all favorable. The regular mid-'
week matinee will be played today.
"Holty Tolty," one of Weber and Fields'
greatest productions, opens a week-end en
gagement at the Krug this evening.
The Green Book album for January
offers as its leading literary feature a
storylzatlnn. complete, of Edward Eisner's
play, "Until Eternity," with which MIsj
Margaret Illington celebrated her return to
the stage a few weeks ago. The January
Issue Is further rich In complete short
fiction, all of It carrying In some degree,
an atmosphere of the theater, but none
the less markedly varied In essentials.
Among those well-known writers who may
be said to be authorities on the varying
phases of dramatic activity In America
and who contribute gravely and gaily to
the January Issue, as the case may be, are,
Vanderheyden Fylea, Kennold Wolf, Chan
nlng Pollock, C. MacLean Savage, Ken
neth S. Clark. Will A. Page, Roy McCar
dell, Charles W. Collins, Idah McOlonc
Gibson and Ada Patterson. Among the
foremost players who contribute to the
Issue over their facslmllle autographs are
Valerie Rogers, Oswald York, Salllo
Fisher, George Evans, Guy Bates Post, Al
bert Urunlng and Jane Cowl.
Without any display, ' ' ground ' was
broken In Seattle laat week for the new
Metropolitan theater, which Klaw & Kr
langer are to erect In that city. It Is es
timated the new playhouse will cost
approximately. 1250,000. The plans call for
a seating capacity of 1,000, although the
ordinary house of this size built on the old-fashioned-style
would seat 2,400 persons. The
contracts set forth that the theater will
be completed by August 1, 1911.
Here's an Interesting agricultural note:
What do you suppose Is ths most expen
sive "prop" In general stage use today?
Just hay, plain hay. And If the price of
stage hay continues to go up at this rats
the rural drama will become too expen
sive a luxury for metropolitan consump
tion. In "Rebecca of Sunnybrook J?arm,"
where hay Is used most lavishly In the
barn scene, ths horses' favorite breakfast
bill costs no less than $30 a ton. Of
courss you can buy from the farmers at
less than a third of that coat, but In this
case it Is the gliding of the Illy which
coats. Every whlsp of this same hay has
to be put through a flre-prooflng treat
ment before the firs department will al
low It to be used on the stage, and by ths
time It Is prepared for histrionic service
It couldn't have well cost the management
very much more if It had been terrapin.
Then, too, at these top-notoh prices the
hay refuses to conduct Itself aa It used to
In the days before It was fire-proofed
The preparation used In the process makes
the hay brittle and sharp; Its wisps crum
ble away In no time at all and an ordinary
load of hay, under these extraordinary
circumstances, Is consumed In "Rebecca"
now In ths course of three performances,
All of which sounds very much as if poor
Rebecca were an elephant, which shs Is not,
Adeline Genee In the musical entertain
ment, "The Bachelor Belles," by Harry B.
Smith and Raymond Hubbell, haa started
on her farewell tour of the United States
under the direction Of Klaw & Erlanger
The offering Is the best vehicle that Miss
Gennee haa had since her first visit to this
country. Mr. Kmlth develops an amusing
idea in his book and Mr. Hubbell has
written the best music in his career. Miss
Genee appears In three dances In conjunc
tion with the ballet from the London Era
plre theater and the Russian dancer, M.
herer-Hekefl. Mlsa Genee's tour will
carry her to the Pacific coast. She returns
to London In May, where she will make
her farewell appearanec on the stats at
the Coliseum.
Wherever minstrelsy Is known, the name
of Al Jolson Is a name to conjure with
Speaking of the decadence of the old lime
minstrel show, Mr. Jolson remarked: "I
dldn. t exactly know why minstrelsy Is
dead unless people have outgrown the Idea.
The generation that knew the real negro
of the plantations is now old. Ths eld
timers held a certain sentiment for the
negro melodies and the negro's ways.
Thai Is one reason; ragtime Is another,
Ragtime originated from the old negro
meiudies, but It haa gone ao far bayond
them that the ancient croons and minors
are not there any more, and so Its real
melody, which always has a touch of
pathos. Is eliminated. All that is left Is a
flippancy that Is as far from the oldt.me
negro aongs as It is from grand operas."

Christmas Cards Substituted for Gifts
Girls whose fnoomes for Christmas pres

the holiday spirit. If they will make notes
and cards serve as substitutes. The whole
point of Christmas Is supposed to be mutual

simplest card Is enough. On a card write a
Christmas wish, and and beneath that line,
one's own name.
One girl whose Income in not limited has

a line of special greeting. To her dearest
girl friend she wrote: "Dear old girl, If

happiest Christmas of your life, with
many more to follow." A line which struck

One of the officials of an
Omaha bank has a daughter
who Is getting well along In
business methods. he keeps
an account at the bank over
whose destiny her father
presides.
Recently the father caused
the daughter to be notified
that she had overdrawn her
account flL She went to ths
bank In response to the
notice and there mads her
own little protest.
First of all, she couldn't un
derstand how shs could be In
debt to the bank, because shs
hadn't used up all ths checks
in her book yet.
This was explained to her,
and then she couldn't see
what the bank was making
such a fuss about the matter
tor. In fact, she said if It
was referred to again, she
would transfer her aocount to
another bank.
Finally, she agreed that
maybe she did owe the bank

It.
So she borrowed tU from
daddy to pay the overdraft,
and re-established her credit.

NEW YORK. Pec. l.V The woman who
studiously follows the dictates of Dame
Faahlon this season finds small cause for
worry about monotony of style. Never
before, during a single season, have so
many changes occurred In the world of
fashion ; never before have a season's
styles been so universally becoming. And,
of course. It Is this wide variation that
makes It possible for any woman no
matter what her proportions or lines to
be gowned In proper style, becomingly.
The woman who bewails the vagaries of
FIGURE ONE.
th arbiters of fashion is unnecessarily
perflexed. Let her but look about at the
Infinite variety to- be found on all sides
and then choose the style that best suits
her . requirements. This season has wit
nessed no discrimination In th suitability
of styles there are fashions seemingly
designed for the sole purpose of pleasing
th matron of conaervatlve taste; fashions
for the debutante who demands a style
conveying the Impression of youth and yet
hinting at maturity enough to remove it
from the school girl class; there are styles
galore for the extremists the devotees
f th blsarre and, most Important of all,
style for the woman of moderate means
aa well as for milady of unlimited In
come. Material Use.
In th matter ef novelties th season's
materials have kept abreast with the styles
In garments. Of. course ths brocades have
headed the list of extreme novelties. Sattn
th favored fabric of the oolonlat period-
has been a close second In th bid tor
popularity; Indeed, because of Its greater
usefulness It may be said to lead In popu
larity. Velvet has, and will be, much
used: corduroy Is a favored material for
two-piece suits: , Tapestry has been
prominent among th extreme novelties
and moire has re-established Itself tn th
list of fashionable fabrics. Not all of
these materials bear their names by right
of appearance; not a few of them are
wholly new developments and resemble In
nam only the so-callled materials of past
seasons. Gold and silver cloth hav been
widely used for evening gowns, and for
this purpose ' th transparencies are also
till quit popular. Lac, fur, hand cm'
broidery, braiding, flat bralda, beads, bu
gles these sre but a few of ths selections
on may safely make for trimming.
Satin Salts.
Th two suits pictured hers are illus
trations of on of the many uses to which
satin Is being put. This coat suit satin
Is of very firm texture and makes up very
affectively. In the first figure we have
a -very plain, but exceedingly smart, little
coat suit. The suit was fashioned of
electric blue satin. Of all th shades of
blue which th season bss offered none
bas proven mors popular than this shade.
called "electric." Th coat of this little
suit was cut very short-some few Inches
shorter than "fingertip" length and
bung very straight. Ths closing was ef
tooted with two black silk frogs and wlds
black silk braid was used for the shawl
collar and for th cuffs. The seven-gored
skirt was mad with an Inverted aide
pleat at th lower part of each gore. This
skirt wss cut with th narrow lines of
th season, but It furnished further i
dense of th American woman's Ingenuity
at adaptation. The slds pleats provided
sufficient width to permit perfect freedom
In walking, and yet, being Inverted, did
not detract from th straight lines. At
ths lower edge there was a single row of
very wide black silk braid.
A "Scoop" Hat.
Th hat worn with this costume was on
of th new "scoop" shapes. It waa a per
fectly flat, crownless plaque and th top
wa trimmed with a center of black
vat. On this velvet center was a Urge
wired bow of pals green taffeta, and at the
back there waa a filling tn of pal green
malln. This hat and costum were quit
suitable for morning as well as afternoon
wear. In this respect th suit differed from
th on pictured in th second Illustration

This suit while its construction would

shaped peplum. Ther were Gibson tucks
extending over the shoulders, th sleeves
were In elbow length, and there was a deep
shswl collar of dark green sattn. It waa
th trimming of this costum that at
tracted attention. It was a braiding design
which offered a pleasing variation of th
much-used Gretk key pattern. This brais
ing was done with dark green soutache and
extended along the line of the pleats, cov
ered th belt, edged the sleeves and trim
med the edge of the peplum. The skirt
waa In three gores or pieces. There were
two side-back gores which lapped over a
narrow Insert gore at the center front. This
insert gore had two wide tucks the upper
tuck placed at knee depth and the lower
tuck placed midway between that and th
lower edge of the skirt. Th over-lapping
edges of ths side-back portion were trim
med with the braiding design.
With this costume wss worn a very
striking hat. It was of white panne velvet
very large and unwlrrd. U dropped ever

large cluster of green and white feathers.
Simplicity In t'olffarea.
There Is a noticeable simplicity In this
sessnn's coiffures and for this reason
elaborate hehddreaaea and ornaments are
very popular. Most of these headdresses
are auggestlve of the Hyiantlne period.
These ornaments range In price from II or "
$2 to many times as much, but aay In
genious needleworker can easily reproduce
them at home. The more popular head
dresses are made of dull metal braid gold
or silver and heavily studded with large
colored crystals and beads. These bands
are some times worn flat across the upper
forehead, with the hair Just peeping from
beneath the front edge, and they extend
to a point Just over the ears. They ar
about four Inches aide, have rounded or
pointed ends, and three ends are finished
with bead tassels. Of course, an orna
ment of this kind must be adjusted to
suit one' coiffure, and some Instances
have been noted where they were worn
at the bark just above the nape of the
neck a reversal of the position first de
scribed. Hair Ornaments,
All sorts on bands are being worn In
the hair this winter. Some of thee sre
wide folded bands of metal cloth or bro
cade, and even the new thin tapestry Is
being used. These bands are frequently
edged with beads or crystals. A very
pretty headdress is made by studding
tulle with fine silver seed beads and then
braiding It to resemble rope. This Is In
tertwined through the coiffure and Is a
charmingly affective hair ornament.
Another attractive headdress Is mads
from narrow dull metal braid woven In
ttloe effect. Where the braid crosses It
held together with crystals or pearl
beads. A very striking ornament made In
this way had the braid held together
with large Jet beads surrounded by small
pink seed beads.
For the woman who cannot wear or
does not fancy these bands there are ths
crystal gauxe butterflies,, but whatever
ornament one chooses It behooves ons to
satisfy oneself before a well-lighted mir
ror that It la becoming from every angle.
There la nothing that so detracts from
