, Frisco's Little Theater
Ths Little Theater in San Fran-
,' clico In iU third year, hai openad
, thia eaion in ita own home, called
tht Maitland Playhouse. . Arthur
, Maitland ia the managing director.
, Mr, Maitland aays he li endeavor
ing "to produce the best plays by
the best players, under the intimate
conditions furnished by the small
house, and to do it all under condi
tions and in surroundings that are
artistic and harmonious."
. The Maitland theater is a "theater
unusual." The walls of the play
house are paneled in some pale blue
material that looks like silk, this
being shirred at top and bottom in
such a way as to contribute its soft
cess to other good coloring and un-
usual lighting effects. Figures of
Chinese actors add a dash of color
and character here and there.
Instead of conventional stage
scenery, draperies of various shades
and . lines are used, there being . a
"repertory" of more than 2.000 varda
of drapery fabrics shelved for use
as- needed. Regular house doors
and windows are used at any place
they may be required, the draperies
fitting into and around them. Mr.
Maitland has devised a system of
suspending draperies and of control
ling them by means of hooks and
trolleys in such a way that four
changes may be made in 10 minutes,
thua doing away with the necessity
of employing stage hands. The ef
fect ol all of this is to add greatly'
to the softness, flexibility and gen
eral effectiveness of the staging.

The Actors Equity association of

opposing Sunday performances.
Everybody's Opinion Wanted.
Dear Mlsa Fairfax. Omaha Sea:
ant a young- woman, only 28 yeara
o ag-a, considered ralrlr good look

try to be congenial In every respect
I have lived here all my life and
am wu anown throughout the com
munity. My people are quite
wealthy and I have everything I can
wian ipr excepting the companion
amp or the opposite eex. I find It
Impossible to keep the company of
any young man. Two years ago I
had steady company and he moved
away rrom here and has never re
turned, but folks seem, to think :
am atlll enraged to him. Often
tlmea young men aak permission to
can, ana tney never come back;
omy recently a young man, a very
nice one, too, escorted me home
from a church social. I gave him
permission to call on tha following
Sunday; he never came or as much
as called me over the phone to say
he couldn't come, and now that's
tne way I am treated.
I dance, attend parties and all so
clal gatherings possible, and, to be
plain spoken about It, I simply can
not eaten a Deau.
I use but very little powder and
never any rouge. I dress carefully
ana try to oe as nice as I can to
every one as possible. I only as
sociate with the better class of peo
ple in my community; my people
would not hear of me Inviting other
tnan a wealthy man to call, and
oftentimes I attribute that to my
lonesomeness. I think even though
a girl's parents are wealthy she
could keep company with a young
man who is less fortunate If he is
honorable.
I read your columns faithfully
and I feel that you have helped me
considerably at different times by
your advice to others.
Fermit me to ask two questions in
closing: Will you encourage writ
ers to your column to give their
ideas of my feelings, and, last but
not least, should a young man be
kept out of society simply because
his father was not on the square?
I appreciate your efforts. M. A.
I think this letter might be dis
cussed in the lovelorn column with
some degree of interest. Therefore,
I shall welcome letters from readers
and print them in this department.

Engaged?
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a daily reader of your column
and think you advice is wonderful,
so I am coming to you for advioe.
Am 1n love witli a man of 22. lie
asked me to be his wife six months
ago, but he never gave tne a ring up
to this day, or is it my place to
ask for it, and is a ring necessary to
call It an engagement? We fre
quently quarrel over nothing. Is
it proper for us to do so if we want
to be friends forever and will this
Hurt the future? what kind of
Christmas present would be suitable
for him? I get so many letters
with the stamp in most any corner-
would you please tell me the stamp
mriauonr
GREEN-EYED BEAUTY.
A ring is customary but not neces
sary. It seems to me that it would
bring ahout a rather embarrassing
conversation to ask for a ring. Lov
era always quarrel, and so far I have
never been able to find a solution
for it. I am not familiar with stamp
flirtations.
The superlative
Superlative in, everything
which goes to make a good
piano. In tone, in finish, in
construction. It is a won
derful instrument in every
thing. You have wanted one who
has not hoped some day to
own a Grand? Why put it
off?

, . Indian Names.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
have read your advice and though
nave never seen any like my ques
tion I thought maybe you could
help me. 1 have a friend who has
joined the Campfire Girls and can
not find a suitable Indian name and
meaning. Would you kindly print
some Indian (girl) names and their
meanings, or where could I get
some? I will close, thanking you in
advance, GERTIE
Your campfire leader should be
able to give you a suitable name. If
not, the library has books ion

information than you could use.

Dear.Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee
Is It right that a boy should leave I
girl's home after spending the eve
nlng. with or without an Invitation?
I hope to find my answer in the
Wednesday evening paper. Truly
yours, LOVE.
What do you mean? He has to
leave some time, doesn't he? Be
more specific.
Too Fat
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Can you please tell me what kind
of a diet a fat person should eat to
reduce himself? Of what kind of
food should this consist of? How
long should a person eat this? If
you do not know the answer to these
questions, then tell me what is the
remedy to reduce fatness? If exer
cise, what kind of exercise? What la
the remedy to reduce the fatness of
tne leg? If exercise, what kind?
What can a person do to make him
self grow? Please answer these
questions, as you do not know what
it is to be called "Fatty." They say
no matter how fat a nerson is he
can reduce himself by eating a car-
tain kind of diet What is the best
kina or face powder? What can be
done to make the hair rrow? Thank
you. A TWIN.
Evidently you wish to be made
over. I cannot do this, but I can
give you some excellent general
rules. To reduce flesh eliminate
siDreaKiast aitogeiner. Tne nrst rew
"flays you will mlsa your ham and
eggs and coffee and cereal, but after
a week you will not notice it For
lunch take something; without starch
or fat For Instance, apirtach or
cabbage, whole wheat bread, but
very little of It For dinner take
vegetables and salads for the most
part eliminating , butter, potatoes,
peas and starchy vegetables. A
small quantity of meat la permissi
ble. Thia seems like a rigid diet, but
the stomach Is a victim of habit and
only calls for what It la accustomed
to receiving. After a short time a
small quantity of food will suffice.
Exercise by walking, rolling, bend
ing In fact the more exercise you
take the less flesh you accumulate.
There Is no limit to this. One who
is Inclined to be fat must keep up
the diet I have no recipe for
growth. Massage the scalp with a
good oil to make the hair grow.
There are a number of good powders
on the market, and what agrees with
one skin is harf ul to another, so you
will have to experiment However,
the diet given herewith will clear
your skin, clear the white of your
eyes and reduce the size of the
pores. Making excuses for eating
quantities, or Improperly, will not
reduce you the human system
takes no heed of Thanksgiving and
ChrUtmaa and Sunday and feast day
Heart Beats
By A. K.
As I sit on the aurf
The Ocean
Comes rolling in
To me. ,
Bringing' strange meuagei
On each white cap
Sad news
And glad newt ' '
In the phosphorescent eyes
Of the billows
That sing to me.
"Oceanus tha Kind -God
of the ocean
Is a goodly God
In his gentle moods ' .
He cools hot fevers
Relaxes taut nerves -And
sails great ships
Uniting the worlds
Of the earth. -
He caresses the swimmers "
Welcomes the sailors
But
Gives vent
To his fickle whims."
Some weep o'er
The mad destruction
Wrought by 'the power
Of the deep
Sigh for the vicious battle
They fought
Commanded by forces unseen.
They lament the lives
Of children
Swallowed by giant waves .
When they swam with delight
In the morning light
On the lee shore
Near the lana. , .
Oceanus Czar
Of all waters '
Rules in ,madness and tyranny
Blasting voyagers
Who roam at sea .
Smitingx the fishes
Typhooning ripples
Till his wrath is spent
And a calm must reign.
One white capped wave
Brought a baby's shoe
Which told far more-
Than all the rest
And it moaned and disclosed
A tale of woe .
Of the secrets hidden
In Neptune's depths.
Thus

Confided in me '
As I sat on the shore x

and then break their system so often
