Miss Minnie Kiisebl. um. Miss Lorraine Reinhard, of

Baltimore and Miss Regina Rhelnheimer, of Philadelphia. The handsome rooms of the clubhouse were decorated with masses of palms, ferns and flowers, and r-d hearts were also used In the decoration. All the arrangements of the company were typical of the leap year. The girls called for the men. tilled their programmes and took them to supper. The pregrammes. which were unusually clever, were headed "The Impertinence of 1SM." and the dances, instead of being designated as waltzes or twosteps, had "His Deliverance" or similar terms for titles, and the supper number was "His Recompense." The tables were decorated with hearts, the candies and cakes were in heart shapes and the ices were in the form of wedding beds. The menu cards, which were in red heart shapes, had pictures instead of names for the courses. The souvenirs for the girls were popguns and for the men solitaire rings. About one hundred young people attended the dance, which was one of the cleverest entertainments given at the clubhouse this season. Shopping Suggestions. The dainty wash blonde, which was used for the fashioning of dressy separate bodices last year, has reappeared, and several pretty blouses of the dainty, old-fnsh-ioned net are seen iu shop displays. The material lends Itself easily to shirring or tucking, and the bodices fashioned from it are as dainty and far more serviceable than the sheer mulls aud organdies. Of the cheaper wash fabrics among the prettiest and most satisfactory are the figured batistes or lawns, which are pricemarked at as little as 15 cents a yard, are sheer and dainty, and will stand any number of visits to the laundress without being at all the worse for wear. Dots of various sizes, colors and kinds, from the big solid dot to the tiny ring, are the preferred patterns, and are wonderfully trim and neat. -r Black lace hats will probably be the approved headgear for wear with the modish black lace gowns of the coming season, and the clever womau who is fond of lacemaking designs and makes her own "bonnet," to assure herself of the excluslveness of her pattern. One handsome hat Just designed by an Indianapolis woman is of the picture variety, broad-brimmed, with a crown and band of lace to match. The only trimmings for the hat will be a bunch of black poppies. In spite of the prediction made by some of the shirtwaist makers, the embroidered shirtwaist which was so popular last season is still in high favor with modish women, and a large number of the handsomest ready-to-wear waists yet shown are in embroidered patterns. One embroidered shirtwaist has a square rose design in heavy embroidery set in baud effect at intervals across the front of the waist, and others show embroidered patterns which practically cover the entire front of the waist. The imported embroidered Swisses are imitated this year in cheaper grades, and at 20 cents a yard one cau get sheer but lirm fabric, with small embroidered patterns very similar to the more expensive Swisses in effect. There is not much range in the patterns, but the tiny dots embroidered In black or colors on white are effective. The washing e:ualities of the cheaper materials arex probably not up to those of the imported Swisses, but for a gown not A stined for the washtub they are satistaetory fabrics. Mona for a Day.

A Club "Joiner." New York Mall. "We are a pretty fair club, all around," said the veteran clubwoman, enlightening the neophyte who had just entered the boundaries of clubland, "but, of course, like most clubs, we have some 'joiners.' " "What's a 'Joiner,' anyhow ?" "A 'joiner is a woman who simply can't help joining clubs. Sometimes ihe docs It from pure benevolence, to help swell the dues, and again she may join in the paroxysms of 'club fever, which attacks some women after they become members of their first club. Nothing In the whole wide world seems as desirable to them as to go to club meetings, and hear papers and books discussed, and well, yes, eat luncheon cither at Delmonico's or the Waldorf in company with a lot of other women, all in their Sunday best. They simply can't say 'No when they are asked to affiliate, and they join right and left, indiscriminately. After awhile they settle down. Some start in and weed out and get to work in earnest In the club or clubs to which they give their allegiance. But others remain content to be joiners, and just flit about from function to function, like a big club butterfly, and don't even take enough interest to participate in an election scrap." Dorothy Whitney's Income. Roswell Field, in Chicago Post. The will of William C. Whitney has been filed, and we observe that his young daughter Dorothy will be c. impelled to struggle along on $60,000 a year "for her education and maintenance." By going to the public schools and being careful with her clothes Miss Dorothy may be able to pull through on this scanty allowance; fortunately she is much beloved by her brothers, who will doubtless see to it that in moments of positive want she Is not permitted to linger in suffering. After all, It is a good thing to bring up children economically and rationally, and by confining Miss Dorothy's allowance to a pitiful S9,000 per annum she may acquire habits of prudence and thrift which will be us ful to her when she draws her full proportion of the estate. And we should not le surprised if by judicious use of her income Miss Dorothy saved enougn every year to maintain a pony and a little cart. For the Hunds. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Glycerin and lemon will prove most efficacious in whitening and removing stains from the hands. Put Into a bottle two ounces of glycerin, two ounces of water, four tablespoonfuls of lemon Juice and a few drops of carbolic acid. Shake weli.

Of course it is a woman's prerogative, but still it does not seem right, that a man. questioned regarding a rumor of his enu i-'.-ment to a certain woman, can only directly refer the matter to the lady, himself saying nothing, while the lady is not only permltte-d to show some heat In her denial, but can even go so far as to say "It is perfectly ridiculous." We should like to hear from Mr. Bok or Miss Fairfax on this matter. Providing a man Is a decent, reputable citizen, should it be permitted s woman to say that the Idea of being engaged to him is "perfectly ridlculoui?" Craig's Candies aie Certainly Good.

Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. UNIQUE. Variety, a and 8 p. in. The Vaudeville at the Grand. Although there are three specialties on the Grand's programme this week that far outshine all of the other acts on the bill, the entertainment is one in which meritorious features dominate over those of mediocre quality, and the show may be classed among the strongest of the season. The three star specialties are presented by Henry Lee, Lewis McCord and company and Ellie Fay. Mr. Lee has often been seen in Indianapolis in past years as a legitimate actor, but never before as a vaudeville entertainer. He has an act that will compare favorably with the most Important "headline acts' now before the public. He is Seen in various impersonations of great men of the pasS and pi t sent. JJeing a master of the art of make-up and a -stickler as to details in "stage business." his portraits of celebrities lire excellent in every respect. With his perfect knowledge of the effects to be produced with grease paints and with carefully prepared wigs, beards, mustaches and accurate costumes, he submits strikingly good representations of Shakspeare, Bismarck. Pope Leo XIII. Murk Twain. President Roosevelt, General Grant and General Robert E. Lee. He makes his changes in full view of the audience, with the assistance of four young men, thus sustaining the interest of the spectators from the time he comes on the stage until the drop curtain falls upon his last impersonation. He will vary his act during the wv.k, giving different portraits from time to time. At pr. sent he has in preparation impersonations of the Czar of Russia and the Mikado of Japan, and hopes to "try on" these new ones during hia present Indianapolis engagement. Lewis McCord' s act, though not billed as a leading feature, proved to be the specialty of secondary importance on the programme. It is so seldom that a really clever farce is seen in vaudeville that this one. which vag written by Herbert Elolcomb and which is called "Her Last Rehearsal," deserves special commendation. It tells of a young woman who is fired with ambition to act. but who possesses no talent whatever. A young stage manager takes her in hand, for a certain sum, and tries to coach her In "Romeo and Juliet." The scene of the piece is the stage of a theater during the rehearsal. The characters are the wouldbe actress, the stage manager, the leading man engaged to support the amateur, the amateur's buxom mother and a noisy stage hand. The trials of the stage manager, in his attempts to teach the poor girl to set, furnish the fun of the thing, and Mr. McCord makes the most of every opportunity. Ali of the characters are well playe.. and the little farce keeps the audience In roars of laughter from beginning to end. It Is well WOftu seeing. Elfle Fay fulfilled all exppctations. Much has been heard of this little comedienne, but she has never before been seen in Indianapolis. She U a spontaneous funmaker and her stage work is all the more enjoyable because of her success In making the audience feel that she is having a jolly good time herself and not merely going through a mechanical routine. She sings three songs a good topical piece called "Smiles." a little English ditty and hef famous "Belle of Avenue A." She is inimitable in her portrayal of a New York tough girl, her Avenue A maiden being immensely amusing. A farcical sketch entitled "Too Many Darlings'" is offered by Georgia Gardner and Joseph Maddern. It is another case of a team of good farceurs with a poor vehicle, although those in the audience who are not particular as to the quality of the comedv dished up to them seemed SO rtnd the sketch laughable. Walter J. Talbott and John R. Rogers are a couple of unusually good singers especially Rogers and If they were content to stick to their songs they would command respect. Their Jokes are of a rare old vintage most of them and their dialogue, as a whole, too inane to be funny. Sherman and DeForest, in their "Rattle of Dan Dago." have one of the most idiotic acts In vaudeville, but the nonsense is not without its amusing features and the audience at yesterday's performances found it mirth-provoklng. Ford and Wilson contribute a black-face singing and dancing specialty of the usual sort. They work very hard and earn applause with the more boisterous sort of negro dancing. Valmore and Horton, who open the bill, are terpslchorean artists of ability and their "whirlwind dance" scores 1 success. A series of attractive bioscope pictures rounds out the programme. "The Smart Set" at the Park. With the possible exception of the Williams & Walker performance "The Smart Set," which opened a half-week's engagement at the Park yesterday, is the most attractive of all colored shows. It is the best staged performance of the kind ever seen here and the entertainment is full of dash and "ginger." There Is no plot worth mentioning in the piece, but there is plenty of good singing and dancing, and in its extravagant way the show is diverting. There are many pretty girls of various shades In the organization and over a dozen male performers who are good vocalists. The company is nicely costumed and the general management of the stage, in groupings, scenery and every detail, shows that the effort has been made and not in vain to place the entertainment above the level of the usual performance of a combination composed entirely of negro talent. The Park was packed at both the matinee and evening show yesterday, each audience being made up to a great extent of Indianapolis colored folks, who thoroughly enjoyed the good-natured fun pokd at their fads, fashions and mannerisms by the comedians on the stage. Among the funmakers doing the best work are Tom Mcintosh and John Bailey, who keep the spectators in screams of laughter whenever they exert themselves. Mcintosh Is a natural comedian who is funny at all times, and it seemed that it was only necessary for him to open his enormous mouth yesterday to send the spectators into paroxysms of mirth. J. Ed Green, Lloyd Henson. Jerry Mills and Lawrence Chenault the latter a young colored man of remarkable good looks, and graceful stage presence gave able assistance in helping the comedy along. A better contingent of feminine singers and dancers has. perhaps, never been seen with a colored show. Hattie Hopkins, a very pretty creole. sings In a clear, sweet soprano voice; Mamie Emmerson. who is more of the French cafe chantant comedienne than th negro vocalist, contributes MS .-bar - of the musical offerings In a way that rouses enthusiasm, and capable vocal work and dancing is done by Marion Smart. Jeanette Foster. Arnlso Spindle, Agnes Mitchell ami many others. The musical numbers are all given splendid renditions and some of the popular coon songs are sung In better style than they have ever been sung in local theaters before. "The Smart Set" Is In for a van successful engagement at the Park, as it is the only colored show of the season. Ilnrh-aqae at the Empire. The show at the Emp.rc this week is full of good things. It cannot be claimed for it

that it is the best on the burlesque circuit, but it is far above the average, and made a decided hit with two large audiences yesterday. The company is Phil Sheridan's "New City Bports" and it offers a two-act burlesque. "Maids of Siam." and an olio of good specialties. The whole performance is full of snap and ginger aud the large chorus is good to look upon, well drilled and possessed of an ability to sing and dance that Is beyond the average Empire chorus. Crissie Sheridan, Adelaide Marsden and Ruth Heecher head the feminine contingent, while Phil Mills. Ed Stookwell and Ed Cardiff furnish the com ly, and do It well. Cardiff has an excellent basso voice, which Is displayed to an advantage in his duet with Ruth Beeeher. Adelaide Marsden opens the olio with Illustrated 6ongs that are successful, of course, for an Empire audlenee always likes anything with pictures, but in addition to the pictures Mi Marsden displays a good soprano voice. Renietta and Larue offer a good acrobatic turn. A quartet, made up of Barnes, Leonard. Stock well and Cardiff, can slug, but their comedy WOTS is painful at times; Phil Mil's and Ruth Heecher are clever in a travesty on "Othello," and the novelty cyclists. Palfrey and Merrill, who close the olio, give one of the best turns that has been seen at the Empire this season. There are few things they cannot do on wheels and in addition Merrill is a comedian of no mean ability. One of the best features of the show from a comedy standpoint is the work of the Speck brothers, the lillputlans, who gave a boxing exhibition and other stunts that keep the audience with them every minute they are before the footlights. Theatrical Notes. Louis Mann, who has had many Imitators as a German comedian, was the first comedian In his particular line to build an addition to his nose, decorate his lips with a twisted and pointed mustache of miniature size, and turn both to good account. His Impersonations in "The Telephone Girl," "The Girl from Paris," and other productions have all contributed to his fame as a funmaker. In the Weber & fields production of "Whoop-de-Doo." in which Mann will be seen at the Park on Marth 10, he is said to be irrisistibly funny. The sale of seats for the one performance opens at the Park at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning and there are signs of a lively demand. Sir Henry Irving's manager sends word that the great English tragedian will not give a Tuesday evening performance in Indianapolis next week, but will, instead, give a special Tuesday matinee of "The Merchant of Venice." Monday evening's bill will be "Ixmts XI." a play in which Sir Henry is seen to great advantage, his portrayal of the old monarch being considered by "many critics to be his most artistic p rförmance. The distinguished English actor and his big company of London play rs opened a week's engagement in Cincinnati last night. The organization will arrive in this city next Sunday noon. The song that is the present rage In London is "Little Billie's Balloon." which is being sung nightly at the Savoy by the American comedienne. Blanche Ring, in the new musical comedy.
