Some Other Women's Ways. Even women who are devoted book lovers, it appears, have their private opinion of other women who shirk book agents off on them in the name of friendship. "Dear me," exclaimed a bright, but pestered looking, brown-eyed lady who belongs to several literary clubs, "I'm Just wicked enough to want to do something mean to several club friends of mine who send me all the book agents they can lay their hands on. If there is one thing in this literary hurly-burly we live in that is meaner than another it Is the practice of inducing a book agent to leave your own house by giving him or her the name of some Innocent acquaintance on whom he or she may pounce next. "The other morning I was up to my ears in house-cleaning dirt, climbing around on top of our library shelves, rearranging our Indian corner. I had on a heavy black coal-soot mustache and black daubs all over my cheeks, when the doorbell rang. Lucy answered the summons, returning with name of the supposed caller. She was well dressed, Lucy said; had no visible means of blackmail and was undoubtedly a caller. So I climbed reluctantly down, rushed up the back stairs, scrubbed off several layers of coal soot, touched up my hair, changed my frock and sailed down to the parlor. There. If you please, was a very nice lady book agents are generally nice ladies who had me cornered, of course, for a whole precious half hour of talk over a reading course, requiring sixteen books and twenty minutes time each day. An intimate club friend of mine, Mrs. Randall Shove-along, had sent her to me with the assurance that I would surely patronize her as it was precisely the kind of thing I liked I was so intellectual and all that. The reading course I declined was warranted to furnish brains if one had none; or, I also Inferred, to addle the few one might already have if faithfully persisted in. I denied and declined, and declined and denied, aid finally, without Hiving the nice book agent any other poor woman's name, succeeded In courteously ushering her through my front door. "To-eiay I entertained a second nice lady book agent for the same reading course, sent me by another literary friend, who realjy knows me well enough to have been In better business. Why in the name of nerves and mercy must club women afflict each other so? Because a woman merely knows how to read and loves to read must other women Infer that she wants to read everything in the known world? I'm out of patience with this literary pussy-wants-a-corin r game and think seriously of putting I card out on my veranda, 'No Nice Lady Book Agents Needed Here.' " Menn for u liny.

Lace stocks of plain outlines, but exquisite stitches, are shown for wear with the dressier frocks at the price of $2.25. The stocks fit snugly but easily and add a prtty touch to the crepe or silk blouse. Embroidery stocks of similar plainness of outline, but of effective patterns for wear with linen and cotton blouses, are shown at prices that vary from 25 cents to almost any limit. One of the new white linen stocks has a plain low collar and, incidentally, most of the linen stocks are this year characterized by a merciful narrowness with the ties fastened at the front through a crocheted ring. The ends of the ties are square and the lower one has rows of hemstitching set between with French knots, while the upper one has in addition to this decoration a medallion of drawnwork. The stocks cost only $1 apiece. The pretty sets of turnovers and cuffs of the pin-on-outside kind which have previously been shown only in plain hemstitched bands, have taken unto themselves elaboration and among the daintiest members in the spring neckwear cases are these sets with all-around borders of exquisite drawnwork in effective designs. Instead of turnovers there are stocks edged round by the drawnwork borders and the sets sell at from $2 upward. A Pretty Picture. Elizabeth Hale Gilman, in Scribner's. All the long silent afternoon I sewed with my hands and a little bit of my mind, but with the rest wandered the world over. Sewing always oddly reminds me of Eplctetus saying to his master. "You may chain my leg. but not me." A spool of thread may bind one to a chair for hours. - it is true, but after one has decided whether the ruffle iE to be bias or straight, whether tucks are to be an (Ighth or a quarter of an inch wide, then after that, nothing can prevent one from going to the well at the world's end or wandering in the circles of heaven. Toward evening I arose and dressed, and then went down to get supper. I realized with content that it had grown suddenly cool enough to have a fire. I lighted one in the sitting room, and then spread my supper on a tray and carried it in. that I might eat it in the firelight. I sat looking sometimes at the fire, sometimes up at the great medallion of Savonarola which hangs over the mantel shelf. Below it was a huge bunch of nasturtiums not less vivid in color than the flame beneath. In my lap. to read "between whiles," lay "The Little Flowers of Saint Francis," and I knew that behind me in tne ruddy du?k hung Sir Galahad in the depths of the legend wood. I raveling ut Home. Philadelphia Press. It is hard to find out how to travel and yet stay at home, bnt the puzzle has been successfully solved thit. winter by a certain young West Philadelphia couple-, one of whom the wife has been k?pt Indoors all winter on account of bad health. She was ordered South, but objected to the separation from her family which such a journey entailed and decided to remain at home. This grew monotonous and as a variation she decided to visit the various hotels for more or less extended stays. When the four walls f home waxed too familiar she and her husband would pack their trunks and set off in a closed carriage to the hotel which happened to strike thur fancy. In a few days they would return home and soon again be ready tor another excursion. How He Got the Nevrs. New York Telegram.

MASTER ETCHERS' HANDIWORK IS EXHIBITED TO CLUBWOMEN

Rare Collection of Various Prints at Propylaeum Is First Viae cd by Members of Fortnightly Club

Lovers of fine etchings and engravings and of beautiful water colors were repaid by a visit to the Propylaeum by an admirable exhibit of such pictures hung there, which was open to the public between the hours of 9 and 3. After that time the exhibit was viewed by the Fortnightly Club, for which it was hung by Mi.-s Niblack, who arranged the collection for the Indiana Union of Literary Clubs. The collection of etching and engravings was loaned by Mr. Albert Roullier, of Chicago, who is a collector of prints of thiskind, and the examples shown of the art of the etcher and engraver were of the highest grade. Two of the most beautiful of the etchings shown were by Stephen Parrish, who is one of the foremost etchers in ÜM world. His pictures are marvels of delicacy of texture, combined with vigor of tone. F. S. Church, an American etcher, was represented by seme characteristic drawings of a Japanese effect. Charles Piatt, one of the BMster etchers of the world; Peter Moran, who is ro-'nii.' i us ore of th. finest portrayers of cattle in etchings; Otto Bacher, whose work has been compared to that of Whistler; Gilbert, whose etching after Messonnier reproduce with wonderful falthfrdness the tone effects of that niast r; Charles Bpragne.

Elfie Fay. the little comedienne who Is scoring a great hit at the Grand this week, worked harder than ever yesterday afternoon to please her audience, and thereby hangs a tale. An hour before It was time for her to go upon the ttagc with her entertaining singing specialty, ishe was discussing her plans tor. next seacou with a newspaper writer on theatrical topics. She sat on a trunk in her dressing room, occasionally applying a alt of rouge to her cheeks or srraaglr.g her "ret lock" Of yellow hair iu the fashion of the "iielle of Avenue A." She i.- just as full of life eff th.' stage as she :s while before th- a- lience. and when the tslks she usually ha.s something to say and whitevcr she says is riht to the point. "Do you know. I'm awfully ambltiou??" she said, as she thrust a hairpin into some mysterious nook among the yellow tre.:ses. "I want to star In a muSlCSj comedy, and I'm to bt given my louged-for opportunity next tea son. My managers Eush and Weber, you know have already purchased the piece in which 1 am to create the leading feminine part, and 1 had a chance to look over the manuscript recently. I like it immensely. The liberetto is by Fred Ranken, who wrote the book for Isidore Witmark's 'Chaperons;' and the music is by Gustave Kerker, who can write such pretty melodies. It's a Japanese affair, and all of the action takes piace in and about Tokio during the Chiuo-Japanese war of ten years ago. I think Mr. Ranken intends calling it 'Chingaling." "I am to play the p.rt of an American actress with lots of money. And Just listen to this I'm to make my first entrance In a jinricksha drawn by six Chinamen, and I'll drive them across the stage by holding on to the ends of tlr ir pigtails. Isu't that great?" And the little woman's pretty face shone with radiant enthusiasm, while her eyes fairly danced iu glee. "I don't like this vaudeville stunt a little bit," she went on, turning up her nose Just as she does when she sings of the troubles of the little toy that was "marked down from sixty-three." "I notice that In writing about me in the Journal you said that I seemed to mjoy my work Just as much as the audience enjoyed it. Well, you were right about that I do enjoy my work, but the trouble is in vaudeville. I am obliged to bow myself off the stage just at the time when I'vo got my audience stirred up. I don't mean that I would care to go an singing several more songs for that wouldn't do at all but I am crazy to get a good part in a good, lively musical comedy where I can show that I am capable of doing other things besides singing three songs. Vaudeville is all right in its way, but an artist can never amount to anything if she gives her whole life up to vaudeville. I've told Rush and Weber time and again that I've resigned from this vaudeville tour, but they won't accept my resignation, so I suppose I might as well stick it out. There will be only a few more weeks of it anyway, thank goodness! "Of course that story about me being married to Sol Myers, the press agent for Rush and Weber, was all a joke. I told Mr. Myers that I wanted to cancel all of the rest of my vaudeville engagements. He said that he wpuld keep me on the road if he had to marry me. That struck me as funny, and I telegraphed Rush and Weber that there was no way out of my contract, as Mr. Myers intended to make me his wife. That's how the silly yarn got started." Suddenly Miss Fay's face underwent a change. A girlish laugh had echoed through the corridor outside her dressing room, and then a young woman's voice was heard excitedly asking questions. Miss Fay sprang from her trunk and landed in the middle of the dressing room, almost upsetting the newspaper visitor. "Goodness gracious!" she cried. "That voice must be Nellie's. Yes, it Is Nellie's!" The door flew open, and into the room popped the diminutive Nellie O'Neil, the popular soubrette who ha? often been seen in Indianapolis in vaudeville aud musical comedy. "Nellie!" cried Elfie. 'Eitle!" cried Nellie. And the two ftl into each other's arms. "Heard you were in Indianapolis." panted little Miss O'Neil. "Couldn't resist temptation to come was over at small town in Illinois ran away and took first trainbully glad to see you." Boon after Elfie Fay was giving her specialty to a laughing audience while the delighted Nellie O'Neil stood in the wings rapturously applauding. The two comediennes have been life-long chums and this was their first meeting In many months. Theatrlcal Notes. Peter F. Dailey, noted as a fun-maker both on and off the stage, is in his element in "Whoop-de-Doo," which Weber A Fields will produce at the Park on March 10. In this musical skit Dailey impersonates a promoter of ragtime dances in Europe and he has a bevy of pretty show girls at his heels wherever he goes. He sings with them, dances with them, pokes fun at them. But Dailey does not dominate the show. Louis Mann impersonates the keeper of a Gor; nan beer garden near Paris and Joe Weber and Lew Fields portray the owners of the enterprise. Charles Ross, Mabel Fenton. Lillian Russell, in fact the full strength of the company is brought out in "Whoop-do-Doo," as it is in the burlesque on "Catherine," Annie Russell's play, which will make up the second half of the dual bill. Much of the merit of the Weber & Fields productions lies in their show girls, who are this season said to be the pick of the show-girl realm. Ben Teal, who st.ugts rill the Weber & Fields shows in New York, is with the organization on Its present tour. The sale of seat3 begins at 9 o'clock this morning. The old French melodrama, "The Two Orphans," will never wear out. It is to be revived in New York the latter part of this month with an all-star cast and given a production such as it has never known before. Grace George is to play the part of the blind girl Louise, and a pr tty and sweet little heroine she should make. Charles Warner, the celebrated English actor now playing in "Drink," in this country, will be one of the members of the company. Other prominent stars selected for leading parts are Kyrle Bellow, James O'Neill, J. H. Gilmore, Margaret Illington, Clara Morris and Elita Proctor Otis. Sir Henry Irving, who is to be seen in Indianapolis next week in "Louis XI" and "The Merchant of Venice." was much chagrined during his recent Chicago engagement by the limitations placed upon his fine productions by the new city ordinances, which, from this distance, seem to be entirely too rigorous. It Is said that he particularly showed irritation "When, in a scene Some remarkable etchings by Fonce were exhibited, one of the most exquisite bjing a reproduction of a famous painting of the bridge near Fontainbleau by Corot, and who also shows some studies in dry point. In the latter vork James Smillie. of New York, had a still life study, which was one of the most effective etchings of the exhibit. Another unusual study was one by Casanova. "Teaching the Bird to Whistle." The etching was unusual in technique artd the artist's management of line was exceedingly effective. In addition to etchings and engravings, a number of water colors were shown by three of the Indiana group of artists William Forsyth. R. B. Orue'le and Otto Stark all in characteristic v in. One of the most attractive of Mr. Gruelle's paintings was a stretch of beach with gray houses just visible within the dense fog. lifting from sand and sea. and touched on its edge by the gleams of sunshine. A stretch of road bordered by trees in autumn colorings was one of Mr. Forsyth's most beautiful paintings, and Mr. Stark's sketches of children were exceedingly happy in drawing out color. The collection of pictures will be shown to any of the clubs In the State affiliated with the- Indiana Union of Literary Clubs and a talk by Miss Nlhlnck Will be given. Only two or three clubs ha-e far availed themselves of the offer, although there are no charges except railroad fare In connection with the exhibit. CraU's Csndka a:e OffUtaly Good.

of "Louis XI." he called for torches and th valets rushed upon the stage minus the lights barred by the cltv ordinances. In "The Bells" also s spot light is needed for the great dream scene, but an incandescent light a weak substitute furnished the iliuminati n. Sir Henrv voiced his sentiments i concerning the overindulgence in legislation In no uncertain terms. Th- sale of seats for the Indianapolis performances by the famous English tragedian, will open this morning at English's box office, and it is believed theft will be a heavy demand. The most important event of the theatric 1 world in New York this week is the appearance of Richard Mansfield In Count Alexis Tolstoi's drama. "Ivan the Terrible." which was given Its initial American pr vntation in English Monday evening at the New Amsterdam Theater. It Is a very heavy piece, in five nets and eight scenes, giving every opportunity for the use of elaborate stage settings and the employment of large forces of supermini raries. It i. said that Mansfield has fovind in the Character of the Czar a part affording full scope to his histrionic powers. The play is supposed to occur during the last year of Ivan's life, when the physical and mental vigor and imperious spirit of the autocrat were beginning to break beneath the weight of empire, the perpetual menace of open and secret foec. accumulation of disaster and the retribution exacted by his furious excesses. Ivan j.-- represented, apparently, as a compound of Louis XI and Macbeth. Viola Allen has almost recovered from her very dangerous illness, and her press representative sends word to this column that there is hardly a doubt that she will be able to nil all of her Western engagement?, and will appear in Indianapolis at English's on the evening of May 10 in her magnificent production of "Twelfth Night." Miss Allen had a narrow escape, but. thanks to a fine constitution and a skdlfully performed operation, she is now able to take short walks daily. That the distinguished young actress was compelled to close her New York engagement almost immediately after achieving a great personal triumph must have been terribly disappointing to her. Her portrayal of Shakspeaiv's Viola is said to be the best thing she has ever done. " A notable performance for the benefit of the Actors' Home took place yesterday in New York at the New York Theater. Wilton Lackaye delivered the introductory address and was followed by a scene from Richard Carle's operatic comedy. "The Tenderfoot." Kyrie Bellew next appeared in a Shakspearean reading and then a new oneact play, entitled "The March of Time." was given. After an act from "Babes in Toyland," a new playlet by Grace Livingston Furniss was performed by Robert Ede8on. Elsie De Wolfe and May Robson. Sam Bernard, In a monologue, Clay M. Greene's one-act play. "For Sweet Love's Sake," and several other Interesting contributions rounded out what must have been an entertainment well worth seeing. Rehearsals are now being held in New York for the forthcoming production of "The Shepherd King," the new drama of the time of King David. While "The Shepherd King" is a strong religious play, it Is not devoid of interest from a dramatic standpoint, it Is said, and its sponsors expect it to prove another "Ben Hur." It was written by Charles Reeves and Wright Lorimer, the latter a wealthy 5 oung actor. Mr. Lorlrner will clay the part of David. It is understood that $HO,0Ou is to be expended upon the production. Lorlrner is one of the few young American actors having an independent fortune and he is putting his own money into this ambitious venture. Although oorn in America, he Is an Oxtord graduate. Bolossy Kiralfy, who produced the great spectacle, "America," at the Ch'.cago Auditorium during the world's fair .n 1903. will give another great patriotic spectacle in St. Louis during the entire period of the exposition. "This production," says Mr. Kiralfy, "will be larger and more elaborate than the Chicago show. It will have 600 people on the stage and will cost about SI.&jO a day. The scenery will be fireproof, a precaution necessary In a sneetacle of its magnitude, since the Chicago fire. The costumes, which are now being made in Europe, will reach us in time for the opening in May. The show is to be presented in the St. Louis Odeon. Friends of John Bailey have been to the Park in force during the engagement of "The Smart Set," which closes there tonight. He is an Indianapolis negro and takes one of the more important parts in the production. His friends gave a ball for him at Odd Fellows' Hall last night. He Is twenty-five years old and this is his first season with the company. The Park will change its bill to-morrow to David Belasco's "The Heart of Maryland,'' this being the first engagement of this play here at popular prices. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON. Short coats are the favorites of the season for handsome suits, ar.d promise to still further increase their vogue. This one Is peculiarly smart and includes both a novel yoke collar and falls of lace. The model is made of mixed gray cheviot, with threads of white and blue, and is trimmed with white cloth and blue velvet to give an exceedingly handsome as well as novel effect, but all 866 Blouse Eton, 32 to 40 bn.t. suiting materials are appropriate and trimming can be varied again and again. Braid of all sorts Is in style, and numberless bandings are shown. The flat neck Is specially desirable and the boz plait effect at the back. prrduced by the elongated yoke, is as becoming as it is new inasmuch as it does away with the over broad back apt to result from a plain blouse. The Eton is made with fronts and back and Is fitted by means of ehoulder and nnder-arm seams. Over it is arranged the yoke collar, which droops over the shoulders, and both neck and front edges are finished with a shaped band overlaid with pointed tabs. The tolt is full and arranged over the lower edge, closing with the coat AMI

PLAINFIELD, Ind.. March l.-There is a cat In Plalnfleld which has been ecretly developing its musical talent at the pitno. About six weeks ago while the family of Dr. A. P. W. Bridger, physician at the Keeley Institute at this place, was quietly spending the evening In the library, the piano in the parlor suddenly began to play without the aid of any visible being. A thorough investigation was made, the family thinking perhaps a mouie or rat had run over the keyboard, but the search failed to reveal any clew to the mysterious happening. Three or four times eince the same thing has been repeat d. A few evenings ago. while the family was still seated at the supper table, having finished the evening meal, the mysb rious music resounded from the piano. The doctor at once went quietly to the door of the room from which the music came, and to his surprise found the family cat gracefully seated on the pisno stool with her paws nimbly playing the keys.
