monthly magazines they have a club in
which, I believe, they have addresses of
invalids or lonely people who would like
to receive letters. I would thank you to
publish the name of the magazine If you

T think you refer to a monthly railed
the Open Wiudow, published In Flushing,
Ti T. There may be others, but this has
been In existence and actively at work
for sums y^ars.
Keeps Tree "Needles" On. "To pre-
vent 'needles' from falling off the Christ,
runs tree, make in the top of a soap bo*
a hole and put the tree down as far as It
will go. Then get a bucket of water nnd
set the box over It so the tree will stand
in the water, lie gure you have a bucket
that: does not leak. MRS. W. C. R."
House mothers who recall gronningly
the task of sweeping the sticky 'needles'
from the carpet every morning of the
week separating Christmas from New
Year's and the children's distress at see-
ing their green tree rapidly become a
forlorn skeleton will appreciate your ad-
vice.
Estimate of Value.—"I have made a
baby's suit, embroidered on a sheer piece
of nainsook- The hem of the dress is put
in with small eyelets: above this is n
vine done entirely in eyelet. T^he yoke
is made to match, surrounded by a little
berth:', which with the neck and sleeves
is finished with tiny scallops, each scal-
lop inclosing a little three-leafed flower.
The underskirt has the same design In
the ruffle and just above the ruffle: it Is
edged by scallops also. Now the question
is, what woijlfl a suit like It cost were I
to buy it at a store? What Is .vour esti-
mate of it? I never bought any hand-
made goods, but I know they are ex-
pensive. 1 have been made just a little
'light of' when T said what T thought It
was worth. A YOUNG MOTHER.
I do not know what your estimate was.
1 do know that such a suit would com-
mand at least $35 in the fancy stores In
our large cities. I tell you this that you
may value your dainty handiwork aright.
Kew women spend time upon such In
this day of ready-made imported embroid-
ery. It is regarded as sheer waste of
time. I do not raise the question of the
comparative "waste" of hours and days at
the bridge table and In a round of social
functions that have neither purpose nor
variety to recommend them.
Embroidery such as' you describe Is a
fine art. We preserve specimens be-
queathed to us by foremothers with prlde-
fu I reveronce.
What have we to bequeath to our de-
scendants that will awaken the same emo-
tions? Prizes won at card fables?
Looking for Song Book.- "I received the
book for which T asked and *which I had
been unable to find in any bookstore, nor
could they tell me where I could get a
copy. I should like now to get a copy of
'The Golden Robin,' a song book used in
country schools here in the '70s. I am
looking for a chance to do a good turn
for some one else. M. n. R."
We are glad the good turn we were
able to do you has engendered the desire
you express. It may be even stronger
when we have found "The Golden Robin"
for you.
WIhIicm to (in on Stage.—"My great
wish Is to become an actress. As my par-
ents have no objection, could you advise
me what steps I should take? Must. I
pass any examination? Whore should I
apply? M. A. L."
There are no finer dramatic schools In
America tlian those in your own city of
New York. Select one of these and make
inquiries there as to the proper steps to
be taken toward the accomplishment of
your ambition.
Magazines Give Names.—"Where are
some good boarding schools for girls, and
In what city are they located? What is
the price for one term? What branches
does one study there? And what does it
fit you for? L II."
You will -find In the advertising col-
umns of our best magazines the names and
addresses of the various boarding schools
in all parts of the country. Rend these
carefully and, having made your choice
of two or three, write to the principal or
dean of each for particulars as to tuition,
board, etc. Their circulars will tell all
you wish to learn.
Lse of lleuna Leaves.—"< ould you tell
me what henna leaves are good for?
MRS. H."
Henna, or "Egyptian privet," Is used
largely for dyeing. It produces a reddish
brown color employed In Europe for col-
oring leather. Tu Turkey and Persia It Is
used extensively as a cosmetic, the leaves
being ground Into a paste.
1 do not. comprehend of what use the
leaves of the plant are when It Is culti-
vated In this country.
To Dye Kid Slippers.—"Would yon
kindly tell me how to dye a pair of white
kid slippers black—something that will
not come off In case of getting wet?
"MRS. R. 4 8."
Dye them in gasoline In which the de-
sired shade of artist's tube pa Jut has been
dissolved. Rinse in clear gasoline when
dry.
Cannot Find Word.—"Would you kind-
ly let me know how to spilt the plant
called the aspudlstls? A. 1»
Are you positive that you have the right,
word? T cannot find It In any botanical
dictionary or floral catalogue.
J! pass the query on to our professional
and amateur botanists.
Inquires About Nursing.—"T should like
Information vrlth regard to hospital nurs-
ing. How many years does If. take, and
<1opr one have tjju undergo a phvslcai e*.
amlnatlon? Do~hey pay a salary rljht
awav. or must, cne have a certain amount
of training first? What course of study
must one take, do the hospitals find the
books, and are they rerv expensive*
f * ,ro. n. M "
The rules differ In different institn
tions. Will some of our able corps of
trained nurses answer this list of ques-
tions authoritatively?
We sre 1n c'ose touch with them and *r#
sure of their cordial co-operation In everv-
thlng that tends to increase the efficiency
of the Corner.
AMUSEMENTS
"Excuse Mo."
The attraction at. the Grand Opera
House tonight arid Wednesday night,
with u matinee Wednesday, will be
Henry \Y. Savage's production of Rupe.'t
Hughes' farce, "Kxouse Me," which the
author describes at* a ' Pullman car Car-
nival.''
Mr. Hughes, whose name is familiar
to theater goers as tlio author of &#*v.■ .11
«uc<esst'ul plays, has iu "Ki*--u.se Me" hit'
upon a unique idea in the mat'.or
locale all iIih enes being laid in ilic
Interior of a vestibule train, and t h
lion describes a transcontinental Jour
v, starting from Chicago, with stop-
overs at Ogden, Utah, ami FJetio, Np '•
novel aad amusing love story is un*
Med during the progress of the journey
and, in addition, there aie plots una
counterplots, involving a series of if,i
li< king episode*.
The 111««;■ wis atiiid by Geofge Msxian*
that mii^tcr era Human whose name is to
closely aiHrd with .\ir Savage's produc
tiona. The intricate detail attendant on
the uniquely constructed scenes have,
from all accounts, been given the great-
est attention, and Mr. Savage has fur-
nished a production In hia proverbial
elaborate manner.
"The (iirl of the (iolden West."
Bigness is the quality which i& para
mount in Henry W. Savage's production
of Puccini's ^rand opera, "The Girl ct
I lie Golden W est," which will be seen at
the Grand Saturday matinee and nignt.
There is a, marked lack of the ordinary
limits which bound the musical and
theatrical production which is toured
throughout America. Mr. Savage never
pauses where a matter of dollars or cents
are concerned in a representation and
never has he spent his money with a
more lavish hand than in this Instance.
Ho scoured Europe for singers of the
tirst quality who could render the text
in Knglish and brought together five
complete casts for rendering this impr^-
sivc work of the. world's greatest living
composer. Thus, if necessary, his organ-
ization can present an entire change of
cast five successive nights His grand
opera orchestra, selected with the great-
est care, numbers fifty skilled musicians,
and is under the direction of Maestro
Giorgo Polacco, one of the world's most
famous conductors. He is a friend and
associate of the great Puccini, and is
as well known throughout the United
States, Mexico and South America as lie
is in Europe. It v.as Signor Polacco who
discovered Tetrazzini when she was sing-
ing in an obscure opera company, and
he was her conductor for two years.
Signor Polacco has two associates, itlm-
boui and Sorento, both skilled and cele-
brated conductors. The grand opera
choristers are one of the marked fea-
tures- an army of young men selected
from the leading conservatories • f
America. The scenic equipment is on a
par witii the other features of the pro-
duction. The whole organization Is con-
veyed from city to cltv by a special
train of ten cars. Including one car of
scenery in the redwood forest of Cali-
fornia. Mr. Savage will present this
organization In the large cities of the
country from coast to coast.

The Plaza.
The Plaza Theater is presenting an ex-
cellent bill this week. Not that this is
anything out of the ordinary for this
little playhouse, but that it. Is in keeping
up to the high standard it has fstaiv
lished. There are several acts of "great
merit on tho bill—all of them are good,
'•no of the best Is the sketch, "Supersti-
tion," presented by Charles W. Bowser
and company. This playlet was written
by Oliver White, a New York newspaper
man, who has produced some of the best
short vaudevllo sketches presented of
recent years. It deals with newspapers,
newspaper work, politicians and grafters
in a. refreshing way with a laugh a min-
ute and action all the way through.
Mr. Bowser gives a finished characteri-
zation of the hlg city political boss.
There are other entertaining bits on the
bill. There Is a bargain matlne-e set fbr
this afternoon.
At the Royal.
In full appreciation of the good things
that go with Christmas, the holiday
throngs again crowded the Royal Mon-
day and were rewarded liv witnessing a
programme which all will remember with
pronounced pleasure, for (he bill is a
winner, ft is one of those which scintil-
lates all the way through. There is noth-
ing dull, draggy or slow about It. It gets
"fl with a rush of fuu and ends Iri a
whirlwind of laughter. The artisls nre
all capable, and the.ro is enough variety
to appeal to all classes. Those desiring
a real treat during the Christmas boll
days will find it at the Royal. There are
five acts, and it would he reallv hard to
pick out the headllners. As versatile
actors, Bailey and J.arldn easily take
first rank. They are expert and daring
on the slack wire and Jugglers of great
ability. T.arkln does all of the time-
worn stunts on the slack wire and, :n
addition, he does many other daring
feats. One of them Is placing both foet
ill a half-bushel basket and bopping
along the slack wire. Bailey and Larkin
climax their act by juggling eight Tndlan
clubs while swinging backwards and for-
ward 011 the wire
The Mizuno Japanese troupe of gym-
nasts have established themselves fir'miy
lit the public favor by their cleverness.
No nation has produced as great gym-
nasts, and the troupe at the Royal this
week take rank with the best 'seen in
the great circuses. Their work appears
to better advantage, for there Is not. the
confusion due to (he three-ring circuses.
Temple ttnd O'Brien and Rprague and
Pixon are singers, dancers and talkers
Their acts, however, are entirely differ-
ent from each other and very pleasing.
They have many popular songs, new
jokes, and dance well.
An added feature which Is attracting
favorable attention Is the Mexican acro-
nbtle tronpe. They are well (rained and
•skillful.

Eight Special Lots: See Them in Our Windows:
On Sale Today
A novel and most successful feature added to our list of annual events
—n One-Chance Sale—to be held yearly on the day following Christmas.
It consists of Eight Big Lots of merchandise, comprising the left-overs
of holiday goods and things that are of use and value the year around,
marked, at prices that are fairly irresistible.
We cannot tell you—for the writer does not know himself—what is
in any one of the lots; for, as we said before, they are left-overs put in the
windows Christmas Eve after the store closed, too late to make a list of
the goods and their prices. But we can truthfully say that every price is
unbelievably low.
The Goods arc All in the Windows: You Buy from
the Windows: None Sold Over the, Counters
You pick from the Windows what you want—come in and get it at
the price you see it marked. It is a One-Chance Sale, for we have no
duplicates of any articles you see.
and that is TODAY.

NA 7 URE'S BE A UTY SECRETS
Some Old Fashions That Are New.
T'oria 1m not taking kindly to ma n#»w
fashions of th« year. That !s not to pay
that it never will, for, as wa all know,
ir custom stales In the Ions; run, It bttglna
1>\ making us admire just what it will.
We have only to remember how acutely
we all disliked the stm.ight. slim silhou-
ette in the t*»sr1nnlng. and how we love it
no-w, to he hum hie n.nn wa.iit warily In
rv.ir prophecies and prognosMration?.
Tl Is on the cards that the silhouette is
♦"hanging, hut this has neen said so often
that tho fact attll remains doubtful. For
the present we heartily dislike most of the
innovations that point in this direction,
if only for the reason that the wearers
of present styles always contrive to loo*
ill dressed.
Perhaps the explanation 1s not far fo
«f»pk. After all, it i* only a. short tlmo
since we last, wore the short coats, small
sleeves, narrow trains and draped hats
of the present styles, and since these all
practically belong no further barvk than
the fashion before last one cannot help
seeing them with eyes that find them
dewdy and demode.
They do not strike the note of novelty
In the least, and the mode, to succeed,
must be fresh and come upon us w»rft
something of, an agreeable surprise. Ke-
cause they do not take our fancy in tms
way we have no present use for tho long
and narrow waist, the curved figure an l
swelling oust and the serpentine train
which are al In the new style and date
baok within very recent years and the
ir< mory of all of us.
The season ts^ to tefc the truth, a very
dull and depressing one sartorlallv. We
have no originality left and very lit tin
chic.
For the School(firl.
The youn& girl In her teens Is pro-
verbially difficult to dress, but verj' often
the simplest and most sensible solution of
the difficulty 1s to copy mother and to
adhere to the tailor-made.
The fine stripes that nre so fashionable
make very suitable schoolgirl costumes,
especially in the vague black and gray
stripes that are now worn. The skirt is
cut simply with an apron back and front
fastened down by large buttons of the
material: the coat is short and simple'or
double-breasted without trimming, but
with the collar faced with gray velvet.
Matching the costume, tn* hat should
be of gray beaver, with Just one touch
•f color, a cerise feather.
A great many women admit they nre
fully awuro of I hie value of sleeping w
a room constantly supplied with fresh
air. Ttiey believe they are healthier for
this steady intake of purity and via*r
during: the night. This means, of course,
that tliey understand 11«i beautifying pos-
sibilities. for health and beauty go hand
In hand at all times.
A cold sleeping room is all very well in
theory, they declare, but It Is very differ-
ent In practice. How about preying
for retirerhent In a frosty atmoJPhere
and dressing with sfriff fingers and chills
In the morning. No wonder so many of
us stay abed mornings. We're afraid
to brave the bite of the cold In our op^n-
air room.
Iau't tt queer how gome folks will make
a burden of everything they do? Instead
of using their head In plannlpir to ovr-
rome discomforts, they spend their lime
in protests. These are nothing more than
excuses made to self for the slothfulneis
of submitting to the overheated room and
enervated body, rather than endure a few
moments' discomfort in the morning.
Then they wonder why the doctor can't
seem to straighten out their nerves, and
why the beauty specialist, falls to over-
come the blotches and murklness of their
complexion.
There is only one answer to the plea of
the woman who would he attractive of
face and vivacious of manner. Throw
wide the windows of your sleeping room.
Nature is rebuilding the worn down tu-
nes of your body ^vhile yoy slumber.
Olve her pure, fresh, vigorous material
with which to build. No one can mate a
perfect thing from faulty material. Na-
ture Is no exception to this rule. Olve her
stuffy, rancid, burned out air. and she
will be compelled to hnlld for you a heavy.
Impure, dry body and skin.
The best way to overcome the bodily
discomfort of an open air room Is to have
it warm during the lav with the window j
lowered just, a fen inches from the top to
allow constant, circulation of nlr currents.
Remove your garments and prepare for
bed In a warm room, leaving your clothes
In order where they ''an be easily found in
the mominc: Just before von cot. into i.od
open everv window In your room from the
top. so that half of every window is en-
tirely open, fte careful to have your bed
out of the drafts. a« these are extremelv
dangerons. Have plenty of warm rov?rs
without burdening yourself with their
weight. . ,
Fresh air is the enemy nf Insomnia,
somnambulism and eerieral unrest.
In the morning arise hastily, throw
back the covers and hurrv from the
chilled atmosphere to a warm room to
dress. The baihroom rmiv be utilized for
this purpose. Later pull the bedclothes
apart and allow them to air thoroughly.
Leave the windows of the room open (or
at least two hours »fter you are up. then
close them, allowing two inches at the
top to remain open. Turn on the h»*at.
and in a short, time the bed may he uiado
up with comfort.
If you sincerely desire to find tho toad
to e/fervescent youth, with its brilliant
colorings of mind and body, become a
devotee of the fresh air sleeping room.

Fascinating Frock for Dancing.
The moment has arrived for the se-
rious consideration of the dance frock,
the advent of the winter months fanning
into renewed vigor the terpsichorean en-
thusiasm of tho young people who take
this pursuit in a quasi-serious vein. «.)f
course on sympathizes with them and
even tho bystander who takes no part
in the light fantastic watches with the
keenest interest any new phase that may
happen along.
It Is not the object of this talk, how-
ever, to discuss the dance, but rather the
dance frock.
Among the advancing models of the mo-
ment in these dresses there Is to be
chronicled taffeta frocks. Delicately ool-
ored and frequently of changeable color,
these are wholly charming. There Is also
an increasing disposition to favor ruches
and rufflings, an^ even flounces of the
shaped order.
An enchanting model seen the other day
was of shot pale pink and green taffetas,
the skirt arranged in three-tier style, each
finished with a deep edging of needle-run
lace, h«ld by a light scroll of ttnv satin
roses, that picked up the fcolor of the tai-
feta About the shoulders there fell a
graceful fichu of the lace, the ends caught
tip in front to show aj\ under bodice of
deep roe* velvet, short, elbow sleeves of
the taffeta, finishing with up and down
ruffles of the lace.
Ivory point d'esprlt dresses are qu<t«

ored satin and trimmed either with a de^p
pleated ruffle or clusters of little flounces,
hemmed with narrow satin ribbon. In
these essentially young dance dresses
there is no sort of deposition to force
brocade or other heavy materials into the
"ervlce. To the always prettv and serv-
iceable princess skirts of satin are allied
the daintiest bodices of chiffon, orna-
mented with tiny gold beads set on in
close triple groups.
The tucker is temporarily in abevance,
a somewhat hard, definite outline of the
decolletage being preferred, the ultra chic
gowns accentuating this with deep hems
or folds of velvet A particularly soft and
becoming effect was wrought In an orig-
inal model, designed for a debutante or
quite young girl, it was made of white
net mounted over the palest pink crepe de
chine, the latter veiled with pink chiffon
and stitched with an underinscrtlon of
filmy needle-run lace in a Valenciennes
design. The deep flounce shirred and
caught down with narrow bands of chif-
fon struck a novel note and was repeated
with equally good effect in a narrower
width round the fichu. Then to accen*
tuate the pink contrast and also dispei
any sueeestion of insipidity, a deep waist-
band and elbow ribbons were Introduced
in a deeper shade, one almost verging on
