Mrs. Anna Moore gave a pretty miscellaneous shower yesterday afternoon at her home in South Tweltfh street as a courtesy to Miss Ellena Co Held whose marriage to Mr. Walter Moore will take place the latter part of this month. The house was attractively decorated throughout with fall roses, ferns and palms. Needlework was the main feature of the afternoon's amusement A delicious luncheon in two courses was served. The assistants at the punch bowl were Miss Irene Cofield and Miss Elizabeth Ilaller. The bride-elect received a number of pretty gifts. The guests were Mrs. S. I. Taylor, Mrs. K. D. Cofteld, Mtb. Isaac Moore, Mrs. Lee Ryan, Mrs. Joseph Phenis, Mrs. Frank Austerman, Mrs. Arch Webb, Mrs. Frank Haller, Mrs. Charles Taylor, Mrs. Frank Taylor, Mrs. Charles Darling, Mrs. George Davis, Mrs. John Taylor, Mrs. Clyde Oler, Mrs. Robert Fetzer, Mrs. Will Eldrlch, Mrs. Horace Cox, Mrs.Milton Baumgartner. of Lincoln, Nebraska, Mrs. Arthur Curme of Indianapolis, Miss Ellena Coefleld, Miss Ollle Shute, Miss Bessie Taylor, Miss Pauline Ellis, Miss Johnnna Griffith, Miss Deborah Moore, Miss Cldney Barnes and Miss Maud Flannagan. NEW HATS. The new autumn hats are sure to be popular, for many of them are made of black velvet, the most becoming material always for hats, and most of them are quite large, with drooping brims, which form a softening frame to the face. Then they need scarcely any trimming. So much In favor la the velvet hat that It is worn in season and out of season. Many hats, made entirely of a light quality of black velvet, with not even a suspicion of straw about them, were worn in the summer. Many of these were seen at Narragansett and Newport and at other fashionable resorts. ' Word comes from Paris that -a shapely peach basket bat, high in crown and drooping of brim, with scant trimming, will be the favorite hat of the autumn. The bats illustrated here are of a large and . ungarnished simplicity which would pass the understanding of the milliner of a decade ago. The pagoda shaped hat is of dull blue velvet, with a satin lining of a lightly darker .shade, very becoming to the face. An immense chou of shaded blue satin ribbon is fastened on the back. The other peach basket hat shown in the picture is of black panne velvet lined with moss green satin and at the back is a drooping willow plume, also of moss green. The shade, of course, Is trying enough to certain complexions, but for dark hair and eyes and a creamy complexion it would be most becoming. THE OLD MAID. "Her education in youth was not much attended to, and she happily missed all the train of female garniture which passeth by the name of accomplishments. She was tumbled early, by accident or Providence, into a spacious closet of good old English reading, without much selection or prohibition, and browsed at will upon that fair and wholesome pasturage. Had I twenty girls they should be brought up in exactly that fashion. I know not whether their chance In wedlock might not be diminished by It, but I can answer for it that It maketh (if worst comes to worst), most Incomparable of old maids P From Essays of Ella. FOR INDIANA. Miss Abble Schaeffer will leave Monday for Indiana University, Bloomlngton, Indiana, where she will attend school for the coming year. TO NEBRASKA. Professor and Mrs, .

COSTS OF LIVIHG IIITERESTSWOMEII Favorite Topic of Discission at Local Clubs and Other Gatherings.

BY ELIZABETH R. THOMAS. Women in this city have become greatly interested in the agitation on the "high cost of living" and recently this subject has been the most important topic of conversation at clubs and other social gatherings. Some one was remarking the other day about the exorbitant prices being asked for things, and wondering if this wsfs not keeping many couples from embarking on the sea of matrimony. Boston's minimum salary limit for those who marry without offense to society is 915 dollars a week and if two people could live on that amount in Boston they surely should be able to in Richmond. Thomas Nixon Carver, professor of economics at Harvard university, says that "it is not in the interest of society or the laboring classes that men who cannot earn $15 a week should try to marry and bring up a family. Of course the children of these people will be exactly like the parents and then the markets will be flooded with unskilled laborers." Professor Carver also advocates that the standard of living among unskilled laborers should be raised and in the larger cities this would be utterly impossible on the minimum sum of $15. Mrs. Raymond Robins, a prominent woman of wealth and social position, whose time is devoted to sociolgical work has compiled from an exhaustive investigation among working men's families in Chicago the following statistics on how a family of five can live on a yearly income of $780 and save $71.67: Rent, four rooms ...$132.00 Food, weekly $4.50 234.00 Fuel 27.60 Gasoline 3.00 Gas 15.00 Sewing material 26.00 Washing materials 20.80 Linen (sheets, towels, etc,) . . 9.00 Car fare (man) 31.20 Man's clothing 58.60 Two girls 49.20 One boy 20.00 Total $662.80 Union dues and benefits 13.00 Sunday Outing (family) 26.80 Daily paper 5.75 Total ... $708.35 Income $780.00 Balance $ 71.60 Families of four or five members with an income of between $800 and $900 should be able to live comfort bly and should also be able to lay away a snug sum for the "rainy days. Collier's this week publishes the fol lowing in its editorial columns. "On few subjects do people differ more in their ideas than on the cost of living. Any quotation of prices has to be taken with some caution, of course, as there are many fluctuations and also as prices differ according to the shop at which the article is bought We published recently the opinion of one citizen of California that prices in his neighborhood are too high. Another person interested in the subject in the same region protests and sends the following list of prices: Potatoes, $1.50 per cwt Flour, $3 per cwt. Butter, 30c per lb. Milk, 7c to 8c per quart Eggs, 25c a dozen. Apricots, 20c two lb can. Cherries, 8c per lb. Prunes, 6c to 10c per lb. v Turkeys, 25c to 30c per lb. ' Chickens, small, 40c to 50c. Chickens, large, 50c to 90c. Oranges, 10c to 50c. Grape fruit, 35c to 50c. Sugar, 5fcc to 6Uc per lb. Apples, 4c. - Asparagus, 5c to 7c per lb. Cauliflower, 10c per head. Cabbages, 3c to 8c per head. Walnuts, 20c per lb. Mexican beans, 5c. Olive oil, 25c to 50c. Cheese, 20c to 25c per lb. Olives, 25c to 50c per quart Wood, $8 to $9 per cord. Barley hay, $10 a ton. Oat hay, $12 a ton. Rolled barley, $1.35 per cwt. , Lumber, No. 1 com., $21 to $25 per M feet Nothing is more important at present than the cost of living, and nothing interests the people more, but the difference of points of view is fairly expressed by the figures given by this observer, which are from ten to thirty per cent lower than those sent in to us by our other correspondent."

SOURESS

HACKETT HAS All ACCEPTABLE PLAY HOW

The Grain of Dust" Much Better Fitted to Him than "The King's Game" in which He Appeared Here Last Seasop. -

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. There is no more deplorable specta- , cle than the good actor with the bad ! play unless it is the good play with the bad actor. 1 It is, therefore, a gratifying bit of i news to the admirers of the theatric ' art of Mr. James K. Hackett, that that ! accomplished histrion has an effec- 1 tire vehicle for his undeniable talents ; this year in the. dramatization of Da vid Graham Phillips' "Grain of Dust" which, while running serially in "The j Saturday Evening Post," is said to have doubled the circulation of that s popular paper. ; When Hackett appeared here last j year in f'The King's Game, he might ! be said to have been suffering from a violent handicap. It was the Irst time i he had ever been in Richmond, and the j first that many people had seen him. j and it was unfortunate that he 6houId have been tied up with this woeful attempt at a satire. George Brackett Seitz, who wrote J the play, is something of a cub. Hell do better maybe some day. The thing he should learn, however, is not to plagarize other people's ideas too flagrantly. George Bernard Shaw has been a much abused and much imitated man. When he launched that sweet young debutante, the chocolate cream, on its theatric career he little knew where it would "end up." Ideas are extremely scarce. That is, good ones, original ones. And the moment they rear their heads they are pounced upon and devoured by the mediocre mentality. In "Arms and the Man," the chocolate cream soldier appeared, to be skimmed of his cream in "The Chocolate Soldier," and to be boiled down to dregs by "The King's Game," But, after all, feel sorry for the playright. Poor George Bracket Setts. For he was only a Harvard man. Mr. Crane, of Chicago, please take notice. Here Is a Harvard graduate who was doing nothing worse than debauching other people's ideas. However to return to Mr. James K. Hackett and "The Grain of Dust" which is having a successful run this week in St. Louis, and which goes to the Blackstone, Chicago, soon, for a four week's stay. St. Louis dramatic critics give much space and varying comment to Mr. Hackett and his play, but, summed up, it is to the effect that the play is a strong one, much more so than the average book-drama, and that Mr. Hackett interprets the character of its hero with convincing eclat. That the atmosphere given by David Graham Phillips to his story is transferred to the stage as faithfully as it is possible to do with novel-fiction transposed into stage art. The story is well known of the brilliant young corporation lawyer rent and torn with his passion for his vacuous little stenographer. Phillips' portrayal of this young woman was HAWKES CUT GLASS The --finest made. Call and see the line for Wedding or Anniversary presents; prices reasonable.

masterly, in its way, although with some reeking flaws. The sudden change, in instance, fro mthe refined, if stupid, young voman of good family, into a slangy sort of shop-girl as depicted in the hero's meeting with her Just before her surrender. , Phillips' titanic men are, however, more or less amusing. Are men really like that? In New York, perhaps. And indeed in Chicago. But hardly in Richmond, Indiana, say, or a lot of other places. Phillips's fictional creations might be comparable to those seemingly rough-hewed figures by Rodin,

but upon closer inspection do not, like the expressions of this great sculptor's genius, resolve themselves into the very refinement of exquisite realism but remain still rough-hewn with jagged edges. The obcession of the leading character in the "Grain of Dust" for the
