she became an authority on such sub
jects. In the convent it w^as the custom
to give private theatrical entenain-
ments, and it was not long before
young Miss Allen w'as asked to tako
sole cliarge of them, not only in se
lecting plays, but also choslng the
t:asi and superintending the rehears
als.
In her second term at the Convent
school Miss Allen was asked to play
the principal parts in the amateur .per
formance* which she did with great
credit to herself and the school. A
member of this school at the time
Miss Allen w'as attending was Miss
Lena Ashwell, daughter ot a well
known captain in the British navy, and
who has since become a famous act
ress in England. Speaking recently of
Misa Allen's skill in stagecraft In
tho&e early years, Miss Ashwell said:
Ehe v.as the wonder of us all, and
really was the wiiole show' herself.”
Ji.st a few months after Miss Allen
finished her course in the Canadian
convent, an offer of an engagement
came to her quite unexpectedly from
the manager of the old Madison
Square theatre in New York. Annie
Russell, who was playing the leading
female i>art in “Esmeralda,’’ fell Sriid-
denly sick, and Miss Allen was asked
to play the part. With scarcely any
preparation she went on and the great
success she made is one of the mem
orable achievements of the New York
stage. Miss Allen’s father w-as playing
the leading male part in ‘"Esmeralda,”
and after he saw w’hat a conquest his
brilliant young daughter had made
he withdrew his objection to her be
coming an actress.
Viola Allen’s early training, bright
intellect and versatile character, equip
ped her for almost any branch of the
legitimate drama, and very few ac
tresses, indeed, h achieved the
variety of successes in so many
branches of dramatic endeavor as she
has. Her meteoric success in “Esmer
alda.” had attracted the attention of
big managers, and tempting offers
came pouring in.
Not long after this engagement
Miss Allen accepted an offer to go
as leading support ot the elder Sal-
vini during his last memorable tour,
playing such important roles as Des-
demona to Salvini’s Othello, and Vir
ginia in Vir^lnius.
Miss Allen’s latest achievement Is
to have created the part of Sister
Giovanni in the Idte F. Marion Craw
ford’s last play, “The White Sister,”
which conies' to the Academy of Mu
sic Thursday night of this week. The
advance sale of seats opened this
morning, and the demand for tickets
was the heaviest of the season.
New York, Jan. 24.—A new bodice
or separate blouse will help w'onder-
fully to keep the winter’s outfit look
ing smart and up-to-date until it Is
time to don the spring costumes.
There are always two or three ghastly
w'eeks just before the arrival of Easter
when the very handsomest of the win
ter gowns look shabby and the gar
ments which during the cold weather
have been serving as second best have
absolutely given out and refuse to do
service even for most informal wear.
At this time, while it is still too early
to put on the new outfit, it is neces
sary to provide at least one, and if
possible more fresh waist, necessary,
that is, oif it is desired to appear well
gowned at all seasons.
A shirt waist, as rmch, is decidedly
I out of fashion’s favc-r, but a separate
bodice made to apparently lorm part
of the skirt with which it is ■w'orn is
a different proposition altogether. The
separate bodice may be of the same
material as tlie skirt or it may be of
quite a different texture, and is, of
course, of a different color, but in
some way in the trimming the idea of
the model of the skirt is suggested.
The Persian trimmings and the Per
sian chiffons are excelent for a waist
that it is desired to wear with many
different costumes as the varied colors
will tone in with almost any shade of
cloth or velvet and appear to be fash
ioned for just that one garment.
Lace Bodices.
Among the elaborate waists the
most attractive are still made with
foundations o flace or tucked or em
broidered net w'ith generally some
bands of gold or silver lace, while
over this again is laid one thickness
of chiffon, chiffon cloth or marquisette.
'1 he over-bodlce is made apparently
all In one piece with mandarin sleeves
cut just loose enough to allow of the
arms being raised comfortably. In
making this waist it is best to insert
a small diamond-shaped gusset in the
under-arm seam to insure the bodice
giving satisfactory wear. In this
style of w'aist the foundation is really
a complete waist in itself but at the
same time the outer coA'ering of chif
fon, marquisette or whatever else may
have been chosen must aiso be a fin
ished thing attached to, and actually
part of, the net lining. Although this
style of separate waist had its origin
in the jumper blouse it has now lost
all connection with that idea of waist,
and the little jumper slip to put on
over any white blouce that happens to
be at hand is no longer in the least
smart.
A Bretelle Skirt.
A very striking bretelle skirt—to he
w'orn with a separate net or lace bod
ice—Is shown in the second illustra
tion. This skirt was fashioned from
cream chiffon broadcioth and had a
trinamIng of black soutache braid. The
braid outlined the center panel and
trimmed the band at the top of the
flounce. Skirts of this type and style
are just as much in favor now as dur
ing the past few years—a fact for
Miss Allen’s Achievements.
It was when Viola Alien waf» a lit
tle girl that her father, Mr. C. i^slie
Allen, began teaching her the rudi
ments of acting, not with any intention
of having her become an afUrwss, but
only to give her the advantago of pos-
seslng it as an accomjdishment. .Mr.
Allen is a fine at.'tor ol the old school
and a high-minded gentleman, and to-

Use of Irish Lace.
An Irish lace w'aist is a splendid in
vestment, for, though the initial cost
is not small, the(\’aist wil serve at all
seasons, in all times and in all places.
In the southern outfit a bodice of
Irish lace will be most useful with the
linen coat and skirt costumes, while
later on in the spring it will make
the simplest cloth suit smart enough
for almost any occasion, and can be
worn again the following winter, for
there is no limit to the wear that can
be had from a bodice of Irish lace.
Fortunately the demand for this style
of lace waist has brought to the mar
ket many models which, while not of
the finest, are, nevertheless, genuine
hand-made, and will answer the pur
pose well. An imitation lace waist is^
however, not to be advised, for il will
neither wear well nor look smart.
Figure Two.
which all women should be thankful as
they are serviceable as well as stylish.
The well-dressed woman of today
always provides at least two waists
with each tailor costume. She has one
aist of cloth if it is for her winter
suit, or of crepe de Chine* or heavy
durable silk if it is to complement her
spring costume, and then she never
fails to provide a second blouse of
chiffon, lace or some such light tex
ture that will make the plain cloth
gown sufficiently smart for afternoon
wear. If economy of the strictest de
gree must be practised the second
waist is generallj' of white chiffon and
lace combined, in order that it may be
woi ii with several different skirts if so
d«*nlied. At this time of year, when
II In necessary to replenish the w'aid-
lolie, u smart white bodice that can
li«i worn now and then right on
Hiroiigh the spring as well, is an ex
ec llant investment. An extremely
pretty bodice recently imported from
I'arls was of white tucked chiffon laid
In fine hand tucks and adorned with
Cltmy lace and sheer gold lace em
broidery. There was a narrow lace
yoke with a high collar also of lace
finished with a band of the gold. The
blouse, composed of chiffon, was made
with kimono sleeves caught into a
(>eep cuff of the Cluny, bordered again
The crepe or silk bodice that is pro
vided with the plain tailor costume for
early spring should be built on the
simplest lines. The two-year-old de
sign, with the entire waist laid in
either half-inch tucks or else narrow
box-pieats, with a detachable collar of
net or Irish lace that can be easily
washed, cannot be improved upon. The
model is made up-to-date by mandarin
sleeves, while the popular ruche of
the material down me front of the
waist laid a little to one side Is still
a favorite finish. The waist fastens
in front with either buttons or hooks
and eyes hidden beneath the ruffle.
The collar is best lined with ' net,
which w’ashes more satisfactory than
chiffon. White cuffs improve the waist,
but it is well to so finish the sleeves
at the w'rists that cuffs shall not al
ways be necessary.
Messaline satin of any practical
color, made in a surplice design, the
material bordered with tw'o or three
rows of gold-colored soutache and the
V at the throat filled in with a lace
3"oke, makes an extremely smart and
also a most serviceable w^aist.
The first figure show's just such a
bodice as this. It was made of coral
messaline and worn with a skirt of
London-smoke broadcloth. There was
a trimming of black braid outlining
the surplice and this outline and the
cuffs w^ere edged \\ith a frill of lace
edging. The skirt' showed the new hip
or yoke trimming. It was a circular
model and, as every woman knows,
it Is impossible to make a skirt circ
ular narrow without many darts. Yoke
skirts have become quite a fad. These
yokes are always trinmied v>ith flat
or fancy braid and in some instances
with hand embroidery.
WOULD SETTLE COAL
MINERS’ STRIKE.
By Associated Press.
Denver, Col., Jan. 24.—A meeting
will be held in Boulder Col., tomor
row for the purpose of reaching a
settlement of the strike of the coal
miners in the northern Colorado
fields, which has been on for several
months.
The meeting is the result of agi
tation by business men of towns in
the mining di.'^trict who assert that
unless something is done to settle
the strike immediately, bankruptcy
will result to many merchants and
some of the towns would become
depopulated.
Found Bodies in Marsh.

of the bodies of Captain Henry Kath-
man and one of his sailors on the
marsh near Dunbar, La., on Lake

Captain Kathman was master of
the schooner Seven Brothers, which
plied in the lumber trade on Lake

had been no tidings since the storm.
