SOCIAL NEWS

. e.iingly enjoyable entertainment, and the author of the plays and the members of the cas's presenting them were warmly congratulated on the success of the evening. The plays were written by Miss Augusta Stevenson, of Irvington, a member of the club, and the clever dialogue and amusing situations were deserving of warm commendation. The committee In charge of the evening's entertainment Included Mr. and Mr: . Frederick A. Joss, Miss Florence Malott. Miss Edith Wallick, Mr. Samuel Sutphiu and Mr. Laz Noble. For the first play, "Lapse of Genius." the cast of characters on the prof gramme ran: William Wallace, ambitious author, with occasional glimmerings of reason. Mr. Gilbert Hurty; Timothy Paiks. his publisher, who supplies these glimmerings. Mr. Hugh McGibeny; Julia Howard, Lucile Dansa and Dorothy Landers, victims of the above. Miss Helen Rockwood, Miss Anna Louise Beck and Miss Ruth Carey. The stage was set to represent the writing room of a hotel at a summer resort and the young women of the plav appeared in charming evening gownsMiss Heck in flowered organdie veiled in chiffon. Miss Carey in a dainty white gown and Mlfs Rockwood in white and pink. Mr. Wallace, the young author, in difficulty over a love scene in his latest novel, consults his publisher, who proposes that he shall infuse the desired touch of reality Into his portrayal by himself proposing to two or three of the pretty summer girls at the hotel and thus getting some valuable j ideas of how the thing Is done. The maiden?, in hiding behind a convenient screen, decide to frustrate the plan by receiving the proposals in exactly the same way, and the pla moves on through much merriment until the denouement is reached by the eaves-dropping maidens presenting his own manuscript to the discomfited and baffled author. All the characters were cleverly taken and the comedy moved with smoothness as well as dash. The second play was an amusing one-act farce, "The Dusky Queen," presented by Mn. Hugh McGibeny and Mr. Norman Peck. Mrs. McGibeny was Clorinda Oglesby, who plays the church organ, and Mr. Pet k was George Washington Taylor, who plavs the races, and the playing of the respective instruments mixed the players up In a manner which was highly entertaining to the audience. Mr. Taylor, in his efforts to conceal from his dusky sweetheart the fad that he was a bold, bad gambler, was led into all kinds of pitfalls, and his admiration of the "Dusky Queen." the race horse, was productive of much trouble. Mrs. McGibeny and Mr. Peck acted with the zest am' finish of professionals and the darkeydialect they used was wonderfully faithful. Tha stage was set to represent Miss ClorInda's parlor and was entertaining it itself with its bright-colored "irspes" of sllkollne, its crazy patchwork table cover and its huge red plush album as the piece de resistance. Mrs. McGibeny wore a blue foulard gown trimmed lavishly with white lace and Mr. Peck was resplendent In a red vest and neckti a coat of pale mode with pearl buttons and plaid trousers. Following the plays the usual dance was enjoyed by the club members and their guests. A number of guests from out of town were present for the evening, among them Mr. and Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, of Louisville; Miss Jessie Herron. of Crawfordsville, and Mr. James Statesman, of Peru, with Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Joss, and Mr. David Baxter, of Scotland, with Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McGlleny. WATSON BARNARD. The marriage of Miss Mary Estelle Barnard, daughter of Mrs. Alice Barnard, and Mr. Chauncey Rundell Watson, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Watson, was solemnized yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at the Taoernacle Church. The Rev. J. Cumming Smith pronounced the ceremony and the marriage was witnessed by the relatives and a few friends of the bride and bridegroom. The only attendants were the ushers, Mr. Herbert Duckwall and Mr. Frank Tlrdolph. The church was arranged with palms and foliage plants for decoration. For the entrance of the bridal party the "Lohengrin" march was played and the Mendelssohn wedding march was the recessional. The bride wore a tailored gown of orown cloth with a harmonizing hat and carried a cluster of pink roses. Among the guests who were here for the wedding were Mrs. W. F. Nelson. Miss Nettie Nelson and Miss Irene Nelson, of Tipton; Miss Elizabeth Looney and Miss Stella Powell, of Rushville; Miss Sophie Pepper and Miss Ella Wood, of Connersville, and Miss Bertha Ginn, of Frankfort.

Another very effective buckle in a square design shows a very twisty dragon in silver on a background of gold. The price of the latter buckle is $7.50. XXX Pretty bedspreads of pink or blue, with the pattern woven in white, are sold for 13. They wash well, and so have the charm of daintiness and freshness in addition to their own prettlness. The spreads are edged by knotted fringe. XXX Very dainty are the fancy stocks of white, pale blue, and other of the lighter shades. The material is soft Lousaine silk, and the soft, full bows, fastened in front and edged with lace, make the ties pretty accessories to a dainty toilet. xxx A number of French stocks are shown by one shop, and the designs have all the pretty elaboration that is implied in the term Frenchy. One of the daintiest is of narrow rows of white silk fagoted together and dotted with sparkling gold beads, while another has the stock and the tab ends set with tiny lace roses and cut steel beads. The prices range from $J.yS up to $4.98. XXX For eight or nine dollars one can find a variety of the shorter neck scarfs which either tie In four-in-hands or clasp.

An exceedingly pretty scarf of soft brown sable cl it the throat with dull silver buckles, and the flat ends fall below the waist. The cost of Lit. latter scarf is $16.70. XXX The winter's furs, unlike those of previous seasons, show a great variety of styles, and the long, sweeping boa is no more a la mode than the saucy little scarf, just long enough to twist into a four-in-hand. One of the smartest ot the jaunty little tippets is of the always lovely chinchilla, and owns a straight little military collar which fastens with silk cords and cut steel buttons over the ties of the four-in-hand. An Altar to the Living. This is a great day of unique personal pe. ul.iritics. and yet, now and then, one so-called "fad" more unusual than another comes to notice. "If I have one erase more than another," remarked an original girl, who claims that

she practices all the "fads" she hears of, besides all those she invents, "I believe It is a craze for candles. I dearly love candles. Nothing pleases me better than to

hear my mother tell how grandmother used j to make candles in those slow old days before lamps and electric lights made life too easy. To my mind, there is nothing so beautiful as candlelight the gentle glimmer and gloom of one candle in a room, or the brilliant twinkling of many such soft and lovely lights. On nights when I have not been out anywhere, to divert my usual sentimental, quiet moods with the hurry and flurry of social contact, I go to bed leisurely by the light of one red candle in my grandmother's tall, old-fasbloned brass candlestick. Of course, such a little bit of light makes it rather difficult; I fall over things and lose things and can't see where all my belongings are, but those drawbacks rather give relish to the performance. "Recently I have reread Henry James's curious story. 'Altars of the Dead,' and it prompted me to devise what I call an 'Altar to the Living. Near my one candle, on these candle-lit nig-hts. I place the picture of some cherished friend sometimes the portrait of a favorite author and consider my candle burned in his or her honor. I meditate on my friend, or on my book frtend, and get Into my bed with a head full of pleasant thoughts. Perhaps I'm a trifle silly, but what of it? We are, all but children of a larger growth, and surely have a right to choose our own playthings." Menu for a Day. Suggestions furnished by Table Talk to housekeepers of moderate means: Breakfast.

The one-color effect was marked in most of the gowps. All white or all blue, or all pink was seen everywhere one looked. Colors relieved by white lace were infrequently observed. The one-color idea seems to prevail. Two more general tendencies were noted; natural flowers were little worn, there being few bouquets in the boxes, and practically none at all elsewhere. A girl in white with a mass of American Beauty roses covering her corsage was a conspicuous figure in one of the boxes, because of the absence of flowers around her. A few great bunches of violets with a purple orchid or a gardenia in the center were seen, but In general it may be said that flowers are a little passe this season. Another notable feature was the matter of the coiffure. The hair is worn lower and less elaborately puffed this year than last. No one wears the English "fringe." Many and beautiful, however, are the hair ornaments worn. All sorts of ribbon decorations, roses, rosettes, twisted bows, etc., are popular, and for state occasions, like the opera Jewels, aigrettes and ostrich feathers, are to be fashionable. One beautifully dressed woman wore in her hair a Jeweled ornament from which rose a stiff (eather fully six inches long. A few young girls had their hair dressed with flowers, artificial, of course. Natural flowers are out of place in the hair. One very blonde girl In white lace had her abundant locks decorated with scarlet popples, the one touch of color in her costume. A Christmas Trifle. New York Evening Sun. A twine holder is made of strips of linen tied over a square box, whih is just big enough for a small ball. The box is two and a half Inches cube and has no cover. There are two strips of brown linen, each two and a half inches wide by ten inches long after they are bound with half-Inch ribbon. The strips end in points shaped to form a perfect square over the top of the box. These strips cross each other on the bottom of the box and are brought up to cover the opposite sides. To the height of the box they are sewed together over and over. Then the box is slipped inside with the twine and each two of the opposite points at the top are tied together with a bow. A long loop is left at one point with which to hang the bag. The twine is threaded through the middle of the bottom of both box and bag. One such receptacle is of brown linen bound and tied with holly red ribbon. On one side is painted a mis chievous kitten with a green ribbon bow at its neck and green string in a knot at Its feet. Tangles of green twine decorate the other sides and green string hangs from the bottom. Another is decorated with holly and mistletoe. The twine here is red. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON. Shlrrings continue to be the smartest of all smart things and appear to Increase In number week by week. This attractive waist shows them used in both waist and sleeves, so managed as to give the fashionable broad effect, and again in the deep corselet belt. The model is made of cream crepe de Chine, with the yoke of tucked chiffon and the trimming of cream Venetian lace, but any material soft enough to admit of shirring can be substituted. The garniture of lace is specially to be noted as it combines a bertha of novel sbae with shoulder straps that fall well 4892 Shirred Waist, 32 to 40 bott. over the sleeves. These last are full and wide but are shirred to fit the arms snugly for several inches below the shoulders. Ihe corselet is made of cream panne velvet and adds a touch of brilliancy to the whole. The waist Is made over a fitted lining and Is closed Invisibly at the back. This lining is faced to form the yoke and can be cut away beneath whenever a transparent effect is desired. The waist is shirred at its upper and gathered at the lower edge and the bertha with shoulder straps is arranged over the whole. The corselet is shaped to fit the figure and is kept in place by means of strips of bone. The sleeves are mounted over smoothly fitted linings that serve to keep the shirrings and the full puffs in place. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4H yards 21. 3 yards 27 or 2H yards 44 inches wide, with 14 yards of all-over lace, yard of tucking for yoke and yard 21 inches wide for corselet belt.

Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. UNIQUE. Vaudeville, 3 and 8 p. m. The Barrle Comedy at English's. "The Professor's Love Story" is such a bright little play that one wonders why so little of It has been seen on the American stage. E. S. Willard, -the distinguished English actor, Introduced it to this country about ten years ago, and from time to time since then it has been presented by various stock companies in the large cities, but last night's performance at English's afforded Indianapolis theatergoers their first opportunity in a long time to witness a presentation of this first of J. M. Barrie's comedies. Indianapolis is notoriously slow In rally ing to the support of a new star, and the audience at the opening of Harry Beresford's engagement was not so large as the attraction merited. That the audience was not larger is hardly to be wondered at, however, as Mr. Beresford comes as an en tire stranger to the local stage. He proves to te a comedian whose acquaintance is well worth making. His company is an unpretentious little organization, but it is quite a capable one. No great claim was made in advance concerning this production of the Barry play; it was merely promised that the piece would be competently acted and adequately staged, and this promise is fulfilled. "The Professor's Love Story" is a refined as well as a clever and interesting comedy. It contains no dramatic action to speak of, but from a literary viewpoint It is a gem. It is charming from the first line to the last and is refreshingly wholesome. Briefly sketched, Professor Goodwillie is a success ful London scientist who has devoted the best years of his life to study, research and the writing of books, and until he engages a sweet little woman as a secretary he doesn't know what it means to fall In love. He soon makes up for lost time, and the tender malady exercises such an allpowerful influence over him that he imagines something terrible is the matter with him, both physically and mentally, and makes the ridiculous mistake of calling in a doctor an old friend of his school days to give him treatment. But It isn't such a mistake, after all. for the good old doctor soon realizes the real cause of the trouble and does much toward bringing about a happy climax to the professor's affair of the heart. Lady Gliding, a young widow, is bent upon marrying the professor on account of his wealth, and does everything In her power to trap the scientist into a proposal. The pretty secretary, whose name is Lucy White, entertains at first an honest respect for her employer, and this respect ripens into love as she learns to know him better and to appreciate his many good qualities. Although his own sister is set against his wedding the girl, and in spite of the efforts of Lady 'Gilding and her noble relatives to break up the match, the professor wins his little sweetheart In the end and in a way that is at once humorous and pathetic. Mr. Beresford gives a well-sustained portrayal of Professor Goodwillie. It is a part that might easily be overdone, but he always keeps within the bounds of legitimate comedy playing and artistically refrains from any exaggeration. A good characterization is that of A. Burt Wesner in the role of Dr. Cozens; Frank Webb is acceptable as an English nobleman, although sometimes forgetful of his accent, and the smaller male parts are well taken care of by Harry Mack. John R. Cumpson and J. W. Hartman. Julia Bachelder displays delightful brightness and archness In the character of Lucy, and her laughter is good to hear. She seems hardly equal to portraying pathetic emotion, but fortunately she is called upon for little acting of this kind. Edith Ward deserves credit for the clever manner in which she plays the part of the frivolous Lady Gilding and Kate Bruce, Nellie Lindroth and Mollie Revel are all equal to the requirements of their respective parts. The play is prettily staged, the second and third acts being mounted in a very attractive manner. It is, in fact, a very enjoyable performance. There will be a matinee this afternoon and a final presentation of the piece to-night. An "Eng-llah Dalay." BOSTON, Dec. 1. An "English Daisy," one of Weber & Flelds's productions, wai presented for the first time In America before a crowded house at the Globe Theater to-night. The piece is a comedy in two acts and is the work of Seymour Hicks and Walter Slaughter. The cast included Christie McDonald, John C. Rice. Sallle Coehen and Charles A. Bigelow. The production was favorably received. Theatrical Notes. The great ballet at the end of the second act of "Mother Goose," the new Drury Lane spectacle, which is to have its first American presentation in New York to-night, will eclipse anything of the kind ever seen in this country, and will prove even more magnificent that the great ballets in "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" and "Mr. Blue Beard." It Is brought about In this manner: Mother Goose, who has grown steadily rich from the golden eggs of her favorite fowl, has not shown the good taste In her surroundings and decorations which her wealth should command. The Demon King tells her of her lack of good form and transports her to the Palace of Fantasy, there to exhibit her to the latest artistic wealth of the day. The gorgeous dance begins with the appearance of the girls who represent ivories, old and new, Then follow Bronzes, Hemmered Brass, Wrought Iron and Mosaics. These in turn are followed by the Iridescent Glasses, Earthenwares and Lustre Potteries. Then come Mother-of-Pearls, Limoges Enamels and other Enamels. After these are seen the Gold Work, Transparent Enamels, Jewelry, Peacocks and finally the Diamond. xxx In "The Eternal City," which comes to English's for a matinee and evening performance next Saturday, with Edward J. Morgan as the star, and Sarah Truax as leading woman, local theater-goers wllL have an opportunity of seeing what is generally considered Hall Caine's greatest work, and a play which was a London and New York sensation. Nearly everybody has read the novel from which the drama has been taken. All those who have will be eager to see the stage version. In dramatizing the story the astute Mr. Caine made two important changes, for in the play he presents Donna Roma as an innocent and persecuted woman instead of as the paramour of Baron Bonelli, the Italian premier, and he arranges an ending whereby the lovers, Roma and David Rossi, may realize the desires of their hearts. The company provided by Liebler A. Co. to enact the drama looks to be unusually strong. The sale of seats for this engagement the most interesting of the week opened yesterday with a good demand. RSI Lew A. Warner, an Indianapolis actor, has the part of a villainous old miser in "When Women Love," the melodrama at the Park the first half of this week. On the stage Mr. Warner does all sorts of rascally deeds and makes himself so distasteful to the gallery that he usually winds up by being generously hissed. This Is merely another illustration that stage villains are usually gentle souls in private life, for when he is not acting in melodrama, Mr. Warner is raising fancy chickens on a little farm that he recently purchased in southern Indiana. He is a lover of poultry and domestic animals and, as he himself says, "Is too chickenhearted in private life to kill a fly." But behind the footlights he murders men with a relish. "When Women Love" closes its successful engagement to-night. "The Shadows of a Great City," a favorite old melodrama, comes to the Park to-morrow for the rest of the week. xxx The Orpheum Road Show, now giving the best vaudeville entertainment of the seaaon at the Grand, will at the end of Its New Orleans engagement, the week after next, go directly to the Pacific coast for an eight weeks' visit. Mclntyre and Heath will not make the trip with the rost of the company, as they recently appeared in San Francisco and the other big cities of the far West. While the Orpheum show la on the other side of the Rockies a new vaudeville company, headed by Mclntyre and Heath, will tour the principal cities of the South. The two minstrel comedians will again Join the Orpheum combination upon its return to

Rheumatic Cure Costs Nothing if It Fails Any honest person who suffers from Rheumatism is w-icome to this offer. For years I searched everywhere to find a specific for Rheumatism. For nearly twenty year I worked to this end. At last, in Germany, my search was rewarded. I found a costly chemical that did not disappoint me as other Rheumatic prescriptions had disappointed physicians everywhere. I do not mean that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure can turn bony Joints into flesh again. That is impossible. But it will drive from the blood the poison that causes pain and swelling, and then that is the end of Rheumatism. I know this so well that I will furnish for a ffcll month my Rheumatic Cure on trial. I cannot cure all cases within a month. It wOuld be unreasonable to expect that. But most cases will yield within thirty days. This trial treatment will convince you that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure is a power against Rheumatism a potent force against disease that Is Irresistible. My offer it- made to convince you of my faith. My faith is but the outcome of experience of Actual knowledge. I know what it can do. And I know this so well that I will furnish my remedy on trial. Simply write me a postal for my book on Rheumatism. I will then arrange with a druggist in your vicinity so that you can secure six botties of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure to make the tesv. Tou may take it a full month on trial. If ;t succeeds the Mat to you is $5.50. If it f Us the loss is aüat and mine alone. It will be left entirely to you. I mean that exactly. If you say the trial Is not satisfactory I don't expect a penny from you. I have no samples. Any mere sample that can affect -nronic Rheumatism must be drugged to ?.he verge of danger. I use no such drugs fir it is dangerous to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy ooes that even in the most difficult, obstinar.e cases. It has cured the oldest cases that I ever met, and in all of my experience, in all of my 2.000 tests, I never found another remedy that would cure one chronic case In ten. Write me sri I will send you the book. Try my remedy for a month, for it oan't harm you anyway. If it fails the loss is mine. Address Dr . Shoop, Box 790, Racine, Wis. Mild cases not chronic are often cured by one or two hottles. At all druggists.

The Grand's offering this week Is too good to miss. XXX When Mrs Langtry appears in her new play, "Mrs. Deering's Divorce," at English's to-moTow and Friday evenings, she will be supported by what is said to be the strongest company that she has ever brought to America. Most of the players in the cast !elonged to her company at the Imperial Theater In London and wtere chosen with special regard to their fitness for the role they play In the new comedy by Percy Fendall. Some of the better known members of the company are Harold Mead, Stephen French, Phil G. Carlton, Harold Wo-jlf. Katherine Stewart. Helen Armory, Inf. Goldsmith, Nellie Malcolm and Lelta Repton. It Is said that the gowns worn by thJ women In the play, especially those worn by Mrs. Langtry, are of exceptional beauty. v x a 1 When Mrs. Le Moyne played an engagement In th's city early In the season In "Lady Berinthia's Secret" the Journal was the only newspaper In Indianapolis that found it impossible to become enthusiastic over the plAy. The writer of this column held that the comedy was not worthy of so capable an actress and that It would not last the season out. Word has Just been received that Mrs. Le Moyne has come to the conclusion that the piece will hardly do and that she hia closed her season in Scranton, Pa. xxx The four colored comedians with the "Cracker Jacks" Burlesque show at the Empire have ore of the funniest acts ever seen at that theater. Each member of the quartet is a goo-' I singer and dancer, and Julius Glenn, the principal comedian, is as comical as the now famous Williams of the negro team, Williams and Walker. The vaudeville olio of the "Cracker Jacks" show is unusually strong and the burlesque. "Our Georgia Rose, is one of the best musical travesties ever given In a burlesque house. xxx "Mrs. Wlf gs of the Cabbage Patch" was so well likrd in Indianapolis when seen here three vieeks ago that the play has been given a retuirn engagement at English's and will reappear at thot theater for two performances during Christmas week.

He said, in part: "Ah the Mayflower was laden with merchandise richer than her Britlah owners dreameu. so are we, the h"irs of other and better than acres and dollars. Our fathers bequeathed to ua a heritage of principles, convictions, institutions and laws a heritage which we cherish because its price was !lood; the heritage of soul-liberty, the greatest contribution of the new world to civilization and the church universal; the nerltage of a regenerate church membership, a nation scouted for centuries, but now fltmly held by thousands not of our household: the heritage of culture, mind according" well with heart, our educational plant has leaped to the fifty million dollar mark, the most complete educational system controlled by any Protestant denomination ; the heritage, too. of evangelism, for to us belongs the inextinguishable glory of Carey, the father of modern missions, and of Judson, the first missionary in these latter days to lift up
