"Do you know," confided one fair young woman to another at the charity ball for the Home for Incurables in tho New Willard Hotel, 'that there is a man in this ballroom dressed In girl's clothes?" "Heavens! No'." This 13 the way it began to be whispered, about midnight, that "Miss Van Eyck," around whom some of the most popular dancing men of Washington had been crowding all the evening, was really young Gardiner Bell, son of Charles J. Bell, president of the American Security and Trust Company, and a grandson of Alexander Graham Bell, an eminent scientist. Now ail Washington society is talking about It. Mrs. James V. Wadsworth and others of the patronesses are indignant. The charity ball was one of the smartest functions of the season. Gardiner Bell is seventeen years old and has a slender rigure and delicate features, which made the rest easy when he and hi3 eisters. Miss Helen and Miss Grace Bell, decided that "Miss Van Eyck" should be "among those present" at the charity ball. Their mother was absent from their home that evening. She declared later that if he had been jhere her son would never have been permitted to don a stunning pink frock belonging to one of his sisters, which admirably se; off the "girlishness" of his figure. A blond wig covered tell-tale diortcropped hair. A pair of long gloves hid from view flnger9 which showed the effects of work on the baseball field In Morris town. N.

At the New Willard "Miss Van Evck." with the Mlses Bell, consulted the mirror, and after assurances that everything was 'perfectly lovely." wert into the ballroom, noon to be surrounded by claimants for dances. The Miss Bell kept "Miss Van Eyck" well und.r their wing, and once reprove.! her for flirting:. It was the young women present who first discovered the hrThey thought It was a great Joke. Some of the men whom they told did not think o "Ml?s Van Eyck' went to suppr wttli one or tne oosi-Known young men In Wash Inffton. The two had uch a long tete-a tete later that thoe nut in the teeret b can to gossip at a gnat rate. Acting as hofte were Mrs. Oeorge Bloomer, Mrs. Spalding and Mrs Archibald Hopkins. They were astounded when told that all was not as it appeared to be on the feminine siae or tne smart eocial func tlon. Craig's caudles ara certainly good.

Variety, 3 and 8 p. m. Jnnirn nnil AVnrile To-iRht. Louis Jamrs and Frederick Warde will appear at English's this evening" In Shakspeare's impassioned tragedy of jealousy, "Othello." The managers of the distinguished actors have provided what is understood to be a good supporting company and a very handsome scenic production. Mr. James will be seen as Othello, Mr. Ward will portray the villainous Iago, Alma Kruger will be the Desdemona, Norman Hackett the Cassio. and other leading parts will be enacted by Wadsworth Harris. Thomas Collin Cooke, Aphie James and Engel Sumner. James and Warde are among the few American actors giving their attention nowadays solely to the classic drama, and as both of these wellknown stars are Shakspearean players of long experience and unquestioned ability, a good performance may be expected this evening. In connection with to-night's presentation of one of the Bard of Avon's greatest plays, the following extract from a recent e.say on Shakspeare, written by the dramatic critic, Norman llapgood, is of interest: Of all the dramatists In English litera
ture, the only one that holds the stage with any considerable number of plays is Shakspeare. Next to him come Sheridan with two and Goldsmith with one, which completes the list a shorter one than is possessed by Germany, where Goethe's, Schiller's and Lessing's dramas are constantly acted, as well as other single plays wmcn are part of German literature. Ours is also a shorter list than is possessed by I- ranee, w ith Meliere, Racine. Corneille, Beaumarchais, Hugo, Augier and Dumas regularly performed. Yet no country since Greece has a dramatic literature to compare with the Elizabethan. Why does Shakspeare alone survive, and Ben Jonson, u ebster, Marlowe, Green, I'eele, Ford, Massinger. Beaumont and Fletcher never see the theater? It is partly because the drama then was rhetorical, and Shakspeare almost alone wrote plays which are good acting dramas even when the rhetorical side is slurred, and partly because with some dozen of his unapproachable dramas always ready, there is small temptation to experiment with his Inferiors. He has overshadowed his contemporaries. Had we a clientele of educated theatergoers, as have Paris and Germany, we should insist on knowing our great dramatists on the stage, as an obvious part of a liberal education. "For Shak?peare at least we may be grateful. Hamlet, 'Macbeth 'Othello. Merchant of Venice, 'Julius Caesar,' 'Antony and Cleopatra,' 'Romeo and Juliet,' Richard III 'As You Like It 'Merry Wives of Windsor and 'Taming of the Shrew' offer, with their great parts and sure popularity, irresistible temptation to the actor, and we have experiments in other plays, as 'Richard II,' 'King John,' Winter's Tale 'Midsummer Night's Dream, 'Cariolanus 'Henry V 'Comedy of Errors.' 'Measure for Measure 'Cymbeline' and 'Lear.' " Theatric! Note. Thomas W. Ross, who will -appear at English's to-morrow and Wednesday nights and Wednesday afternoon in the title role of the big racing comedy drama, "Checkers," says that the most unique experience of his career occurred during his last engagement in San Francisco when he was a member of a company playing a melodrama. This is the story as Ross tel's It: "The villain of the play was credited with a ready wit. and the occasion of which I peak was the only time I had ever seen him feazed. He had made the acquaint ance of a number of college boys, and on the night in question, unbeknown to any of us, they had purchased a row of seats extending way across the theater. As the curtain rose in response to a call at the close of the . first act this row of college youths stood up like one man and chorused with tine precision and loud voice: " 'We do not like the villain. "The line immediately snt down and the audience tittered. The villain opened his mouth to speak, but abandoned the thought ana tne curtain reii upon his face, which was red as the setting sun. The next act was one of nervousness for all of us. and the villain walked around the stage as if every moment he expected an explosion But nothing occurred until the rise of the curtain In response to another call at the j close of an act, when the lino of college i boys rose as before and chorused: " 'We do not like the villain. He 13 rotten!' "The villain took a step forward to reply as the crowd sat down, but thought better of it again and held his breath, or possibly he couldn't think of anything suitable to the occasion in the presence of ladies. The next act the villain acted as if attacked with palsy and we ourselves were decidedly nervous, but the act passed off until Just before the curtain fell, when again the college line rose and cried as in one voice: " 'We do not like the villain. He ii rotten. We will not give him three cheers. We will give him a cheer and a half. Hurrah! Hoo!" The Eight Vassar Girls a company of talented young women will be the principal feature in the Grand's new vaudeville programme, which has its first performance this afternoon. The "Vassar" maidens, as their manager chooses to bill them, are said to be excellent instrumental musicians, good singers and unusually graceful dancers. And added to these accomplishments they are down on the programme as very pretty damsels who know how to wear pretty clothes. This specialty should prove something of a novelty, as the Grand has had few high-class acts along the same lines and nothing just like It before. Another high-class novelty on. the bill will be the exhibition given by the famous Eretto family. The Eretto3 are heralded as the greatest of European acrobats. In some of the advance notices of the Grand's new bill the Erettos are spoken of as newcomers to Indianapolis. This is a mistake, as they appeared at the Grand last season and scored a pronounced success with their Interesting exhibition. Al Lawrence, a favorite monologuist and mimic, will be a prominent contributor to the programme. Lawrence is. well liked in this city, as his work is always entertaining. A magician who is billed as the Great Leon will make his lirst local appearance and other entertainers in the show will be Green and Warner, singers and dancers; Bailey and Madison, In a nonsensical specialty; Cordua and Maud, in an equilibristie and wirewalking act. and Frey and Fields, in an original specialty. Yon Yonson, modest, always in good humor, and with a faculty for- doing the right thing at the right time, comes to the Tark this afternoon in the familiar Swedish comedy drama of that title. He Is the Yon Yonson of old. but he is impersonated by a new actor, Nelse Erickson, who Is said to treat the young lumberman as a natural and human character, keeping the play ladened with a pleasing Swedish atmosphere. This play was written by Gus Heege, himself an actor from Sweden, who found his material for the play In Swedish lumber camps of Wisconsin and Michigan, where he spent three years. He wrote the play thirteen years ago, and It has been going up and down the land each ear since, a number of young Swedes having utilized it to gain stage fame. The entire company is this year made up of new players, some of them having lately Joined the "Yon Yonson" forces. Elizabeth Chester, Elma Gillette. Eva Bennett and Guy Spangler are some of th newest recruits. In other years this play has been well received at the Park on account of its wholesome fun and elaborate equipment. The well-known burlesque manager-comedian. Al Reeves, will bring his musical travesty and vaudeville combination to the Empire this afternoon for a week's onp.iRemfnt. Reeves and his associates are annual visitors at the Indianapolis home of burlesque and the patrons of that amusement house have come to expect giod entertainment of this organization. The show this season is said to be a bright one, with a large chorus of attractive girls and a numler of funmakers who, it is claimed, are among the bet-t on the burlesque stage. Two travesties will be offereda satire on "A Chinese Honeymoon" and a piece called the "The Merry-Go-Round." The principal performers with the company are Van Der Koor, a magician, new to this city; Andy Lewis, a popu-

"The Office Boy Frank Daniels's latest and from all accounts his most successful musical piece, will be seen at English's the last, two nights of this week with a Saturday matinee, under the management of Charles B. Dillingham, who is said to have given the piece a magnificient production. "The Office Boy" is by Harry B. Smith, the fertile librettist, with music by Ludwig Englander. There is no comedian on the stage to-day with a more unique and comical personality than Frank Daniels, and he has always been a great favorite in Indianapolis. In his present vehicle the author has provided him with a role that exactly suits his peculiar Individuality. As the down-trodden, four dollar-a-week office boy he is said to be irresistibly funny. He is surrounded by a big company. The seat sale for the engagement will open to-day. Forbes Robertson,, the great English actor, sailed for London Saturday, taking with him the good will and admiration of all American play-goers who had witnessed his superb performances. He will soon appear in London in a new drama entitled "The Edge of the Storm." written expressly for hini by Marpraret Young, an Knglish woman. He left the scenery of "Hamlet" in New York, for he does not expect again to enact the Shakspearean- trapedy until he returns to this country next January under Charles Frohman's direction. He wiil bring two nw productions with him when he comes again. t Eva Tanguay, who wa3 the leading feminine funmaker with Frank Daniels in "The Office Eoy" during the first part of this season. Is now appearing In vaudeville at Cleveland's Theater in Chicago and, according to reports, is scoring a great hit. Her place -in the Daniels supporting company is taken by Bonnie McGinn, who is even a better dancer than Miss Tanguay, although not so eccentric in playing a comedy part. The tour of "The Two Orphans" with an all-star cast next season is now an assured fact. The old play still continues to draw Immense houses In New York. It is understood that Louis James, now in Indianapolis at English's, has been selected to replace Charles Warner, the English actor, in the company when the melodrama is taken on the road at the beginning of the next theatrical year. 4 De Wolf Hopper's big revival of "Wang" In Philadelphia last week proved a great success. The tall comedian himself, pretty Madge Lessing, handsome Nella Bergen, little Frank Casey and other leading members of the cist are credited with individual hits. The new production of the merry old comic opera goes to New York soon for an indefinite stay, which will depend upon the weather. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

The Lawyer and III Society Shoe. Society women who try to reconstruct men that dislike society frequently meet with diverting experiences. "When we spent the winter out West." related a woman devoted to society, "Henry had one intimate friend who simply detested everything which might be called a function. He was a middle-aged lawyer, a handsome man, terribly shy; but interesting and scholarly beyond all the men we knew. He would come to our rooms when we were alone and give us long, delightful, entertaiuing evenings. But he never would come to meet other people, and if he found any one with us he would simply vanish before any one knew he was gone. As the man would have been such a valuable social ornament I made his life so miserable with arguments that Henry said I would drive .him away from eair house if I did not cease to importune him on the subject. Finally, some one gave a large evening party and Henry came home with the astounding news that shy Theodore intended to go. Just to pacify me, Henry said, Theodore was to rent an evening suit and make his social debut with us. The great occasion came and Theodore looked elegant. I had instructed him that he could tag around with me all evening, so he did not seem to feel awkward, neither did he appear so. Whenever an opportunity to sit down 'occurred, howevtr, I noticed that Theodore eagerly sat down. At length we secured a sofa, in a quiet corner, and sat there for a long, long time. Theodore seemed remarkably quiet. " 'You are bored?' I said. " 'My shoes hurt remarked Theodore. 'They nearly kill me. " 'Your new patent leathers are beautiful I commented. " 'Something wrong with them,' Theodore said, 'they are misfits, somehow or other.' " 'Let me look at them?' I asked. "Theodore thrust his slim, patrician society shoes out in full view, and I laughed. " 'What's the matter?' he said, turning red. "'You've got the left one on the right foot and the right one on the left foot.'
" 'That's so said Theodore; 'I told you I wasn't cut out for society; let's go home " Menu for n Day. Suggestions furnished by Table Talk to housekeepers of moderate means: Breakfast.

Use only hot water, with a little ammonia added, for cleaning paint. Ordinary kitchen soaps wear off the paint, and do not clean it so quickly and thoroughly as ammonia. Use a good sand soap on obstina'te places. Varnished woodwork can be easily cleaned and brightened with crude oil. Alcohol rubbed into a carpet will effectually remove a varnish stain. This should be done after the carpet has been taken up and shaken. Gasoline will take grease spots out of carpets very readily. Every one knows that it Is inflammable, and that the windows should be open and no fire of any kind whatever in the room. It is better to apply the gasoline after the carpet is shaken. Wicker seats and back3 of chairs are easily cleaned with salt and water. Any brickwork rinsed off with ammonia and water and then carefully dried will be wonderfully brightened by the process. All fine brasswork is lacquered nowadays with the exception of pieces exposed to the weather or to strong fire. Therefore It cannot be scoured with rottenstone, vinegar or the substances formerly used for brass. AVah it in warm water, dry it thoroughly and polish with chamois skin. Rub all rusty places on iron with kerosene oil. A few drops of alcohol rubbed on the inside of lamp chimneys will remove all trace of greasy smoke when water alone is of no avail. For the sake of general healthfulness set one or two boxes of unslaked lime in the cellar, in some out-of-the-way corner It is an invaluable aid In drying out the cellar in the spring.

come Presddent of this great republic because bhe docs not smoke, it is time for degenerate man to take warning accordingly. It is true that there are some women who would rather smoke than be President, but it may be assumed that such women are not found in the higher reformatory circles, but in the ranks of society pleasure-seekers. Happily for Mr. Roosevelt the debasing influence of tobacco will not be manifested In all probability until after the coming presidential election.
The Wife of the Genius. The Argonaut. According to Mrs. Kate Upson Clark, the way to be happy, though a genius, is never to marry. "The poet's wife," said Mrs. Clark in a recent address, '"does not care for poetry after the first week, any more than the grocer's boy does for figs. She never wishes to tell of the neighborhood's gossip, but she interrupts some great thought of her husband's; then he imagines she is bereft of sympathy, and looks for it in the wives and daughters of his neighDors, and if he be handsome he usually finds it. The genius should not marry. A woman wants her husband not his art. Genius is insanity. In order to be genius it lives most of the time in a world of deep emotions. It is hard for people of artistic temperament to conform to ordinary rules. Thus divorce, suicides, drunkenness and impulsive vices. are found among people of genius. The irrepressible temperament seems to be absolutely necessary to art." Walking Skirts. New York Commercial. To-da3' they are made about an inch from the ground, and just escape touching. They have become so popular that skirts intended for street wear, whether of silk, voile, linen or cloth, are all made walking lensth, and it is said that this style was even extended to the dancing frock. It is not to be disputed that the train skirt is certainly the most graceful, but the majority of women do not know how to hold thtm up properly, and, furthermore, it is very tiresome. The effect of the well made walking skirt is certainly very smart. Even on Easter morning the majority of well-dressed women seen on Fifth avenue wore walking suits. These are not strictly tailor-made affairs, but are often quite elaborate, being made of silk and voile. The vogue of the full skirt is evident, although not so noticeable in the. thin materials. . In Decorating: Schoolrooms. Boston Transcript. The custom practiced by some of the women's patriotic, reform and educational organizations of placing the pictures of women patriots, reformers, artists, philanthropists and authors upon the walls of public schools Is one which is happily gaining wide vogue. In spite of the recent great impulse for schoolroom decoration, it is a fact that the gerat majority of our schoolroom walls are still bare of adornment. In most instances only a few portraits of men notable in the history of America are displayed. The placing of the pictures of the women leaders in the Nation's life and thought side by side with those f the men, it is naturally conceived, must result in dignifying womanhood and in conserving the national standard of citizenship and patriotism. A "NVoinnn'n Needs. Boston Transcript. That perennial question of how much money a year a woman needs for dressing herself, seems to be up again for discussion. We read that, whereas, a daughter in 1S00 would have thought herself passing rich on an annual dress allowance of $2X), the same daughter a rather antiquated maiden, we fear by this time holds herself a pauper "if she may not spend at least three times that amount on her suburban toilet." Theoretically Jft'O would not seem to be an enormous sum for personal beautlneation; but practically, however women may move heaven and earth and their husbands, to get it. you can only say of them: "Some do, some don't." As for a woman's needs why, it is safe to say that every woman needs to dress properly properly, mind you $-00 a year more than she gets. Delicious AN allies. Tabic Talk. One cupful of cold boiled rice, passed through a sieve; one cupful of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful ot sugar, one and a. half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two eggs, one heaping tablespoonful of butter, and sweet milk enough to bind. First rub the butter into the sugar, sift together flour, salt and baking powder; add to the sugar and butter, then add the olks and rice. Thin this with milk to the consistency of cake batter, fold into it the beaten whites of the egg. Have waffle irons hot and carefully greased, fill twothirds full, close and turn when brown.

She tripped into the car and from the recesses of a white kid handbag produced the cutest little purse and took out a dime, which she placed between her cherry lips. Then she gazed abstractedly at the ads. The car lurched around a corner, she gasped, and the dime disappeared. A sickly pallor came over her face. She signaled to stop the car. "Fare, please," said the conductor, as she stepped on the platform. Dut she swept haughtily by him and hurried up the street. "Five cents out," growled the conductor. "And the lady's a dime in." said a crusty bachelor in the corner. COST OF PREVENTABLE OBEBEJO J STATE Millions Lost Annually, According to Report of the New York Commissioner of Health. FUNDS ARE INSUFFICIENT ALEANY, X. Y., April 10 Millions upon millions of dollars annually lost to the people of tho State of New York through preventable diseases, is the keynote of the annual report of Stat Health Commissioner Lewis to the Governor, made public tonight. "If the monetary value of a human life is assumed to be fcS.OV)," says Dr. Iewls, "the deaths from but five of the preventable diseases duiing in this State represents a loss of $31;0,H These figures seem appalling, and yet millions upon millions can properly be attributed to this sum. in ls of wages, expense of the care of the sic,k and many other expenses Incidental to the management of these epidemic and infectious difase.." The commissioner shows th.tt there was vast opportunity and abundant authority to meet conditions, but absurdly insufficient appropriations with which to perform the necessary work, for which he believe? l.ot,,.,"o a year could be used with immense advantage to the people of the State.
