"One great play," Mrs. Fiske thinks, "may serve to save the theatre." The question, then ,is simply to get the play or rather the series of great plays. It may be that the time is drawing nearer silken texture and delicate colorings. jQr white; prmted crepes de Chine and It would seem as is the reign of pro-, chiffons and rich brocade in large, flor- nounced co1o'- tt3 over, yet certain al designs and satin stripes. aJ Sher Stuffs. lines of thin laurics snow veiy . amn-n thPOP 9ro tho beautiful', number and a new strain of discrimi- cided shades cf blue, crimson, pink, j prmtgd cotton and silk artu cotton or- nating criticism has appeared in the green and heliotrope.

Side by side with these are alluring embroidered Swiss mus lins in nale hues with white designs are in the lead, while stripes, dots or plain suitings bring up the rear, or the two former are in combination witch checks. In the latter, the variety is wonderful, over checks on checks, or when scarcely perceptible are called "shadow checks." Dots on checks be long to last season's novelties, the new blending single dots forming squares, at regular intervals. VOILES are very prominant in solid colors, figures or checks and Eoliennes plain, striped or in Jacquard figures are also prime favorites. White and black checks of various sizes are considered valuable by con noisseurs, and the semi-annual boom regarding plaids is in full operation. cept the drama itself. Costly play houses are multiplied, the theatre going audiences are increasing in borrowed from epic and lyric poetry, and superseded them. .The modern prose novel has borrowed from every form of literary effort, including the There are also dainty embroidered j drama. Most ot all it has borrowed goods bv the yard, embroidered robes j the services of the literary craftsmen in sheer fabrics, and heavy linens as j whose activities in other ages would well; al?o embroidered boxed waists of rare delicacy and beauty. No light weight material is more attractive than chiffon coiles, which in general appearance closely resemble high grade organdies, and al these beauti ful Spring and Summer materials shown by Lord & Taylor, are distin guished by an unequalled variety, nov elty and elegance of design. Illustration. Thanks are due the McCall Co., makers and designers of Fashion for the illustration shown above. The Statu- cf Colors, is not yet settled, and the decline of the "white fad" is predicted, although ' ' W r' , White serge positively declines to be overlooked, and already stylish suits of this useful material are displayed b leading houses. Plain silk remains standard, and designers feel a certain degree of safety at this season of transition, in making up plain silk suits. One of pongee color, had a cir cular skirt trimmed with folds of the same, and a "pony coat." Soutache, embroidered in Greek design, trimmed the coat, between shaped folds of the material and also formed a heading for the folds of the SKirt. Another Suit, in a light-shade of corn-flower blue, was made with a smart little bolero, and its border and the skirt trimming, were of box-plaited or quilled ruffles (new this season) with heading of the heavy, narrow lace galoons, that are also a spring feature. The only actual novelty that has yet appeared is the "pony cart," coming about three inches below the waist, and this is in tended as a rival for the Eton, but the former does not admit of such fanci ful trimming as the later, therefare the sway of the Eton is undiminished. Thus it may be inferred that no pro nounced changes are yet noticeable, the Empire and Princess styles re maining in full force. Spring Silks. The predominance of gray and white china silks and black and white effects in checks, stripes and figures indicates the trend of fashion for Spring in silks. But there are also radium silks in the newest waists indicate its contin uance. Very pale hues are shown and gray, especially "Queen's Gray" is very prominent, and at the same time, crimson flourishes in plain silks and also in millinery. Pale Blue, particular ly "Alice Blue" is seen in lingerie robes and in eyelet work for crowns of hate as well. Pink can never die, and green is almost an essential in Spring millinery. Brown always has its votar ies and heliotrope remains in favor. All Sorts and Siz. .es. of hats are in the showing of Spring millinery, and evidently the indented brim will continue to conceal defects, and reveal new charms. Mohair braid plateaux will fulfill this mission as so far the closely woven straws, such as Panama, chip or Leghorn have plain brims or turned up only at one side. The small, high-crown narrow-brimmed sailor is the newest shape shown; there are also shapes embodying the high Derby crown which has received a warm welcome in Paris. Leghorns. come in flats, and also in small shapes and new sailors of colored eyelet work withinsertion and lace ruching at the edge of the brim, with a huge lace rosette at the front and two white wings (turning backwards), are very jaunty for young girls. While the larg er proportion1 of hats will be small or of medium size, some very large ones with flat crowns are among advance styles. FANNIE FIELD. Satisfactorily Located. From the Kansas City Journal. Old Bill Missgimmons, of Bellville, remarked to Tom Pendergrast, as he sat down gingerly on one edge of a drygoods box: "Tom, did you ever see a gol durn boil just where you wanted it?" "Yes," said Tom, "the one on you is exactly all right for me." But the best airship on earth may be no good in the air. have expended themselves in play- writing, poetry, autobiography, even tract-writing. The prospect for a revi val cf the drama lies in the fact that men who use prose fiction as the ve hicle of their message are tiring of it and turning to the drama. The stage is getting the contributions of novelties at first hand instead cf second hand, through the dramatization of some story of adventure or ot manners. As Brander Matthews says in the North American Review, "Mr. James himself has tried it, and Mr. Howells and Mark Twain also. And now, in the opening years of the twentieth century, we see. Mr. Barrie in London and Mr. Hervieu in Paris abandoning the novel in which they have trimumphed for the far more precarious drama." , What has caused such drift as has yet appeared away from the novel and back to the drama? According to Mr. Matthews it is because "the novel is too easy and unexacting a form of expres i sion. It is too much in the omnibus line; "it is a loose form of hybrid an cestry; it may be of any length; and it may be told in any manner in let ters, an autobiograph or as a narra tive." "A true artist," Mr. Matthews urges, "cannot but tire of a form that is too facile." He adds. "The art of the dramatist is not yet at its richest, but it bristles with difficulties such as a strong man joys in overcoming." ' That Divorce Conference It is gratifying to note that mem bers of Kentucky's General Assembly are taking a real interest in the ap proaching conference to be held in Washington for the duscussion of divorce laws. Representative from oth er States will be present, and the hope is that they will be able to agree upon the tems of a uniform divorce law for the various States. Of course, the mat ter will rest still with the Legislatures of the individual States. The delegates to the conference cannot pledge the adoption of the bill which may be drawn up. They can recommend it to their legislative bodies, and it is for these to accept or reject it. The Ken tucky delegates may have a chance to make a report , to the present Legis lature, since the conference is to be held in Februarary, but it is scarcely possible for the body to take action within the short time remaining before adjournment. The problem doubtless will be left for the next Legislature to deal with. Obviously the divorce laws are of grave importance, and it is well un derstood that a readjustment of their phesent tangled lines is desirable Aside from the great moral issues in volved in divorces, the wide differen ces existing between the laws of the States hold inehaustible possibilities of embarrassment and trouble. It is this legal, rather than the other, present tangled lines is desirable ceive consideration in Washington. It is not the purpose to make divorce easier and thus provide even greater inducements for reckless marriages than already exist. It is proposed to strive for the avoidance of legal clash es and all their humiliating accompani ments by means of uniform State laws If incidentally the divorce evil is over come somewhat, so much the better, It will not be an easy thing to draw up a bill acceptable to all the States Just now the laws already prevailing are supposed to represent the will of the people in the respective States. In one State no provision is made for di vorce, and such a document there- Good Music Is a Character-builder. Orison Swett . Marden in "Success Magazine. Good music is a powerful tonic to many people, especially those suffering from melancholia. It lifts them out of their solemn moods, dispels gloom and despondency, kills discouraged feel-, ings, and gives new hope,, new life, and new vigor. It seems to put a great many people into proper tune. It gives them the keynote of truth and beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, dispels discord from the life, scatters clouds, and brings sunshine. All good music is a character-builder, because its constant suggestion of har mony, order, and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude. Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds, so that they can think better, act better, and live better. Some writers are depen dent upon music for their inspiration and their moods. Somehow it brings the music to them. It adds brilliancy to the. brain, and facility to the pen, which they can not seem to get m any other way. , Good music seems to give up a touch of the divine, and to put us in contact with divinity. It drives out evil thoughts, making us ashamed of them. It lifts us above petty annoyances and little worries of life, arid gives us a glimpse of , the ideal which the actual is constantly obscuring.

"My heal th was bad and I could hardly do my work, cardui. cured me " - . ' Women 'suffer agonies from pains of which men have no comprehension. - One of these is that awful, bearing-down or dragging pain, which so often, in some women, forms a part of the monthly sickness, and in others continues from month to month, week to week, day to day, till death itself would often be welcomed as a relief. ' What does it mean? It means, probably, that your womb is bent, twisted, turned inside out, or falling down, as a result of a certain weakness of those muscular f ibers, which are supposed to keep it straight and hold it in place. It means, that if you do not take immediate steps to cure this trouble you may become an invalid for life. It means, that you must lose no time, but go for relief and cure, to the one medicine which will be sure to benefit and cure you, as. it has bene fited and cured a million other happy, rejoicing women, viz: v WRITS US A LETTER freely and frankly, in strictest confidence, telling us au your sympioips ana troubles.

UiCI Wo) no Woman's Relief Phys Recommend Castoria lcians VASTOEIA has met with, pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma- centical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: Fini The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi lates the food : Third It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. ; It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system not by stupefying it and our readers are entitled to the information.--SaZ5 Journal of Health.

Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says : "Tour Castoria stands flrsi in Its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have founc anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. T., says : "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent" Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buffalo, N. T., says : "I am pleased to speak a good word for your Castoria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it In my own family." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria ex tensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. I. McCann, of Omaha, Neb., says : "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says : "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medic 1 pro fession, but I, for one, most fieartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. Channing H. Cook, jot St. Louis, Mo., says : "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact ' that most medicines of this character are obnoxious and therefore difficult of ad ministration. As a laxative, I consider It the peer of anything that I ever pre scribed." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : "Physicians generally do not pre scribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I 'have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria."
